Deep within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy orbiting our own Milky Way 160,000 light-years away, sits N159, a mind-boggling region of star creation. This latest image from NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope depicts only a slice of the entire complex, but believe us when we say that every detail is a monument to the earth-shattering power of cosmic creation on a grand scale.
KohlerCoaster spent an entire year painstakingly bringing Starman to life from scratch.
