LHA 120-N55 in the constellation of Dorado
This chart shows all the naked eye stars in the far-southern constellation of Dorado (The Dolphin Fish) and also indicates the outline of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small nearby galaxy. The position of the star formation region LHA 120-N55 is marked. This gas cloud is very faint to be seen visually, but the hot young stars with which it is associated are easier to spot.
