N44 is dominated by two features: a vast central void and a shell of dense, dusty gas. The central void is a \u2018superbubble\u2019 spanning roughly 210 by 140 light-years across. The glittering stars at the center of the void are responsible for its creation; through their powerful stellar winds and explosive supernovae, these stars expelled much of the gas from which they were born.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/hubble\/nasas-hubble-spies-superbubble-scene\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Read more about this cosmic vista.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image credit: NASA, ESA\/Hubble, D.
