In the Center of 30 Doradus
At the heart of 30 Doradus, a vast emission nebula, lies R136, a massive cluster of the largest, hottest, and most massive stars known. This image highlights R136, composed of thousands of hot blue stars, some fifty times more massive than our Sun. Both 30 Doradus and R136 reside in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
