Description

The classic super-bubble, Ball-0-String captured in H-alpha. This object is 400 light year across and arises from the strong stellar wind from the central hot Wolf-Rayat stars sweeping the ubiquitous hydrogen of the LMC to an equilibrium betweem radiation pressure and gravitational attraction - a beautiful balance.
