| The Odd Couple: Two very different gas clouds in the galaxy next door Posted: 07 Aug 2013 06:43 AM PDT ESO's Very Large Telescope has captured an intriguing star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud -- one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. A sharp new image reveals two distinctive glowing clouds of gas: red-hued NGC 2014, and its blue neighbour NGC 2020.
