Star Cluster R136 Bursts Out
In the center of the star-forming region 30 Doradus lies a huge cluster of the largest, hottest, most massive stars known, called R136. The cluster's energetic stars are breaking out of the cocoon of gas and dust from which they formed. This disintegrating cocoon, which fills the rest of the picture from the Hubble Space Telescope, is predominantly ionized hydrogen from 30 Doradus. R136 is composed of thousands of hot blue stars, some about 50 times more massive than our Sun.
