The Tarantula Zone
The Tarantula #Nebula, or 30 Doradus, is a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 180,000 light-years away. It's the most active in our Local Group and would dominate half our sky if as close as Orion Nebula. The image shows its vibrant filaments and nearby supernova SN 1987A.
