NGC 2074 is a magnitude ~8 emission nebula in the Tarantula Nebula located in the constellation Dorado. It was discovered on 3 August 1826 by James Dunlop and around 1835 by John Herschel.

The energetic nebula is creating a star cluster, NGC 2074, whose center is visible just off the top of the image in the direction of the neck of the seahorse. The representative color image was taken last year by the Hubble Space Telescope 's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in honor of Hubble's 100,000th trip around the Earth.

Aug 11, 2008 · The high-energy radiation blazing out from clusters of hot young stars already born in NGC 2074 is sculpting the wall of the nebula by slowly eroding it away. Another young cluster may be hidden beneath a circle of brilliant blue gas at center, bottom.

In commemoration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope completing its 100 000th orbit around the Earth in its 18th year of exploration and discovery, scientists have aimed Hubble to take a snapshot of a dazzling region of celestial birth and renewal. Hubble peered into a small portion of the nebula near the star cluster NGC 2074 (upper, left).

Dec 19, 2007 · NGC 2074 is a cluster and nebulosity in the LMC that is infrequently imaged. Part of Henize 158, a 13 arcminute region directly S of the Tarantula. NGC 2074 is the brightest …

NGC 2074 is a Star Cluster + Nebula in the Dorado constellation. NGC 2074 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere.

Three filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ranges matching the emission of specific chemical elements. One filter was used to sample a broad wavelength randge in the visible. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image.

Dec 9, 2009 · NGC 2074 is a young star-forming region in the southern portion of the H ii complex N158. Ten YSO candidates have been identified in NGC 2074 using Spitzer observations.

Dec 9, 2009 · The Hubble Space Telescope imaged the star-forming region NGC 2074 in the LMC during its 100,000th orbit, providing an opportunity to more closely examine the YSOs and their environments in this region.
