Webb space telescope captures Tarantula Nebula

Need an escape? 🚀💫 Journey through one of the brightest star-forming regions near our Milky Way Galaxy. Called 30 Doradus, it's located at the heart of the Tarantula Nebula, which is about 170,000 light-years away. The nebula is close enough to Earth that Hubble can resolve individual stars, giving astronomers important information about the stars' birth and evolution. Credit: NASA, ESA, and G.
