NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The star-forming region 30 Doradus, also known as the Tarantula Nebula, contains the massive star cluster R136. This cluster holds some of the largest, hottest, and most massive stars we know. Their powerful winds and ultraviolet radiation sculpt the surrounding gas and dust. The Wide Field Camera on the Hubble Space Telescope captured this view in visible light.
