She's a beaut, isn't she, and in the heart of N159's cosmic cloud lies the Papillon Nebula, a butterfly-shaped region of nebulosity. This small, dense object is classified as a High-Excitation Blob, and is thought to be tightly linked to the early stages of massive star formation.
Since you will undoubtedly be dying to know more of a High-Excitation Blob (ESO: The Blob, the Very Rare Massive Star and the Two Populations)
N159 is located over 160,000 light-years away. It resides just south of the Tarantula Nebula (heic1402), another massive star-forming complex within the LMC. This image comes from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. The region was previously imaged by Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, which also resolved the Papillon Nebula for the first time.

The Speedwagon kicked it up just fine with this one.

Ridin' the Storm Out on Earth is one thing but stellar winds may blow at a 2,000 km/s and REO Speedwagon probably isn't going to make it through one of those.
