Description

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) contains an extensive population of massive star clusters, with ages ranging from the very newly formed (e.g. R136 with age ∼3–4 Myr) to those with ages comparable to the Galactic globular clusters (e.g. Hodge 11). These objects are extremely useful not only for studies of cluster development, but also for tracing the formation history of the LMC and its related kinematic, structural, and chemical evolution.  This is the remote northern LMC member ESO 121−SC03. It lies in the range 8.3–9.8 billion light years from our solar system.
