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]
