Henize 70 in LMC
Henize 70 (N70) is a faint emission nebula and superbubble located in the Large Magellanic Cloud in the constellation of Dorado.
Based on appearance it was proposed that it might be a supernova remnant. A 2014 study measured that Henize 70 featured high SII and Hα ratios, indicating that it is not a supernova remnant.
