We present the XMM-Newton first light image, taken in January 2000 with theEPIC pn camera during the instrument's commissioning phase, when XMM-Newton waspointing towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The field is rich indifferent kinds of X-ray sources: point sources, supernova remnants (SNRs) anddiffuse X-ray emission from LMC interstellar gas. The observations are ofunprecedented sensitivity, reaching a few 10^32 erg/s for point sources in theLMC. We describe how these data sets were analysed and discuss some of thespectroscopic results. For the SNR N157B the power law spectrum is clearlysteeper than previously determined from ROSAT and ASCA data. The existence of asignificant thermal component is evident and suggests that N157B is not aCrab-like but a composite SNR. Most puzzling is the spectrum of the LMC hotinterstellar medium, which indicates a significant overabundance of Ne and Mgof a few times solar.Comment: to be published in A&A 36
