The most current Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week features an image of the Tarantula Nebula, better known as 30 Doradus. About 161,000 light years from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, lies a vast region of ionised hydrogen gas that is undergoing star formation called the Tarantula Nebula. Its tumultuous clouds of gas and dust can be seen whirling between the region's bright, recently formed stars.

 


Hubble is familiar with the Tarantula Nebula. The hottest and largest known stars are found there, and it is the brightest star-forming zone in our vicinity of the galaxy. This makes it the ideal natural laboratory for conducting research.
