NGC 1714 explained

NGC 1714
Type:	emission
Epoch:	J2000
Appmag V:	11.61
Size V:	1.1 arcmin
Constellation:	Dorado

NGC 1714 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Dorado.^{[1] [2]} It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud^[3] and was discovered by John Herschel on 2 November 1834.^[4] A study investigating the chemical composition of HII regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud was conducted in it, finding a larger deuterium density than previously thought, leading to (with current knowledge) larger than accepted age of the universe.^[5] Candidates for planetary nebula have also been found in the vicinity of NGC 1714.^[6]
