“Tentacles of the Tarantula Nebula” is copyrighted by WFI, MPG/ESO 2.2-m Telescope, La Silla, ESO. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is the largest and most violent star-forming region in our Local Group of galaxies. Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, it would span half the sky if it were as close as the Orion Nebula. The bright knot of stars to the left of center is R136, a massive star cluster. This region is a mix of glowing gas, supernova remnants, and dark nebulae.
