Central region of the Tarantula Nebula - The Tarantula Nebula - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Dorada) is the largest star-forming region of the Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of young, hot and massive stars, aged just 5 million years. Mosaic of 5 images obtained by the Hubble space telescope. Vast Star - Forming Region 30 Doradus Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a panoramic portrait of a vast, sculpted landscape of gas and dust where thousands of stars are being born. This fertile star - forming region, called the 30 Doradus Nebula, has a sparkling stellar centerpiece: the most spectacular cluster of massive stars in our cosmic neighborhood of about 25 galaxies. The mosaic picture shows that ultraviolet radiation and high - speed material unleashed by the stars in the cluster, called R136, are weaving a tapestry of creation and destruct

Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) in the river bream - The Tarantula Nebula, around the 30 Dor cluster - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Bream) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of hot and massive stars. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This object is the only extra - galactic nebula which can be seen with the unaided eye. It is a faint patch of light at the eastern end of the Large Magellanic Cloud, 170,000 light years distant. A small telescope reveals narrow spindly tendrils of glowing gas which have been likened to the legs of a spider. The 'body' of the spider is the bright nebula seen at the centre of the photograph, while at its core is an extremely dense clump of very hot stars, until recently thought to a single, unusually massive star known as 30 Doradus. The very hot stars of 30

Detail of the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) in the Dorado - Central region of the Tarantula Nebula - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Dorado) is the largest star-forming region of the Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of young, hot and massive stars, aged just 5 million years. Mosaic of 15 images obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. The Tarantula is situated 170,000 light - years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the Southern sky and is clearly visible to the naked eye as a large milky patch. Astronomers believe that this smallish irregular galaxy is currently going through a violent period in its life. It is orbiting around the Milky Way and has had several close encounters with it. It is believed that the interaction with the Milky Way has caused an episode of energetic star formation - part of which is visible as the Tarantula Nebula. Ju

It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). In the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars (on the right), clusters of young, hot and massive stars, age barely 5 million years. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in October 2009. The Tarantula is situated 170,000 light - years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the southern sky and is clearly visible to the naked eye as a large milky patch. To thr right of the image there is a huge cluster of very hot stars called R136. The stars in R136 are also among the most massive stars we know. R136 is also a very young cluster, its oldest stars being 'just' 5 million years old or so. Its smallest stars, however, are still forming.

It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of hot and massive stars. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. The brightest cluster of stars in this picture was believed until recently to contain a single, uniquely massive object with the mass equivalent to 1000 suns, and was named as a star, 30 Doradus. Sophisticated image analysis techniques have been used to show that 30 Doradus is a very compact group of stars, many of which are massive, but not unimaginably so. The radiation from this star cluster is sufficient to excite a huge cloud of hydrogen gas in its vicinity so that it glows with its distinctive red colour. This picture is essentially a one minute exposure. A longer

Mosaic of 14 images, 70 hours of cumulative poses. Known as the Tarantula Nebula for its spidery appearance, the 30 Doradus complex is a huge stellar factory. It is the largest emission nebula in the sky, and can be seen far down in the southern sky at a distance of about 170,000 light - years, in the southern constellation Dorado. It is part of one of the Milky Way's neighbouring galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Tarantula Nebula is thought to contain more than half a million times the mass of the Sun in gas and this vast, blazing labyrinth hosts some of the most massive stars known. Su

Image obtained with the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. In this picture we see the eastern end of the Large Magellanic Cloud where lies one of the most active star formation regions known. If this enormous complex of stars, gas and dust were at the distance of the better - known Orion Nebula the brightest parts of it would visible during the day and would cover a quarter of the sky at night. While the Orion Nebula contains a mere handful of the hot blue stars which energise it, the Tarantula nebula has spawned many thousands in the bright central region, which surrounds a compact, brilliant cluster known

Around the Tarantula Nebula - Around the Tarantula nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud - The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Bream) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). At the center of this nebula, the open cluster of R136 stars, clusters of hot and massive stars. Image obtained with the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. In this picture we see the eastern end of the Large Magellanic Cloud where lies one of the most active star formation regions known. If this enormous complex of stars, gas and dust were at the distance of the better - known Orion Nebula the brightest parts of it would visible during the day and would cover a quarter of the sky at night. While the Orion Nebula contains a mere handful of the hot blue stars which energise it, the Tarantula nebula has spawned many thousands in the bright central region, which surrounds a compact, brilliant cluster known

Detail of the Tarantula nebula (NGC 2070) in the Dorado - Detail of the Tarentula nebula in Dorado - Image of a detail of the Tarantula nebula obtained in December 2001 with the WFI instrument of the ESO/MPG 2.2 telescope - m at the La Silla Observatory. The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Dorada) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud, a galaxy adjacent to ours. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). This image shows the turbulent region around the ring - shaped nebula DEM L 299 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way system. It was produced by combining three monochromatic images obtained in December 2001 with the Wide - Field - Imager (WFI) at the ESO/MPG 2.2 - m telescope at the La Silla Observatory. North is up and East is left. The coloured rings seen near some of the brighter stars in the field result from light reflections in the telescope optics. The Tarantula Nebula is one of the most
