It is a loose cluster approximately 10 million years old, within one of the Tarantula Nebula's superbubbles formed by the combined stellar winds of the cluster or by old supernovae. [1] NGC 2060 is often used synonymously for the supernova remnant N157B [2] (30 Doradus B [3]) which is a
NGC 2070 (also known as Caldwell 103) is a large open cluster and candidate super star cluster forming the heart of the bright region in the centre-south-east of the Large Magellanic Cloud. [2]
BAT99-98 is a Wolf–Rayet star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in NGC 2070 near the R136 cluster in the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus). At 226 M ☉ and 5,000,000 L ☉ it is the most massive known star, and close to one of the most luminous stars currently known. [3]
