See Hubble’s most beautiful star-forming image ever

Only 165,000 light-years distant, it’s copiously forming stars. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*a2btQVHd3F2_99Kx" style="height:700px; width:700px" /> Our Local Group of galaxies is dominated by Andromeda and the Milky Way, but there’s no denying that Andromeda is the biggest, the Milky Way is #2, Triangulum is #3, and the LMC is #4. At just 165,000 light-years away, it’s by far the closest among the top 10+ galaxies to our own, and as such it takes up the largest angular span on the sky of all galaxies outside the Milky Way.
