The cluster and nebula lie about 168,000 light years away, in one of the Milky Way's orbiting satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Hodge 301, along with the cluster R136 , is one of two major star clusters situated in the Tarantula Nebula , a region which has seen intense bursts of star formation over the last few tens of millions of ...
The Tarantula Nebula has an apparent magnitude of 8. Considering its distance of about 49 kpc [2] (160,000 light-years), this is an extremely luminous non-stellar object. Its luminosity is so great that if it were as close to Earth as the Orion Nebula, the Tarantula Nebula would cast visible shadows. [13]
Astronomers trained three of Webb's high-resolution infrared instruments on the nebula and spotted young stars, as well as distant galaxies. Webb telescope's new photo of the Tarantula Nebula ...
NGC 2080, also known as the Ghost Head Nebula, is a star-forming region and emission nebula to the south of the 30 Doradus (Tarantula) nebula, in the southern constellation Dorado. It belongs to the Large Magellanic Cloud , a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way , which is at a distance of 168,000 light years . [ 1 ]
Researchers have unveiled intricate details of the star-forming region known as the Tarantula Nebula which lies 170,000 light years from Earth. Scientists map violent nebula to discover how stars ...
NASA unveiled the latest images from the James Webb Space Telescope on Tuesday, which focused on the Tarantula Nebula, a mass of interstellar gas and dust home to countless stars. The nebula is ...
R136a2 (RMC 136a2) is a Wolf-Rayet star residing near the center of the R136, the central concentration of stars of the large NGC 2070 open cluster in the Tarantula Nebula, a massive H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud which is a nearby satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
Supernova 1987A is the bright star at the centre of the image, near the Tarantula Nebula. SN 1987A was a type II supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It occurred approximately 51.4 kiloparsecs (168,000 light-years) from Earth and was the closest observed supernova since Kepler's Supernova in 1604.
