“The Tarantula Nebula” is copyrighted by Robert Gendler. 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, over a thousand light-years in diameter, is a giant star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This composite view, made with space and ground-based data, shows the largest, most violent star-forming region in the Local Group of galaxies. Intense radiation, stellar winds, and supernova shocks from the Tarantula shape its environment.
