Spanning 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light. Tens of thousands of formerly obscured young stars that were hidden amongst the cosmic dust are unveiled. New details of the nebula’s structure are captured, and in the distance, dozens of background galaxies now shine through.
Nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula for its long, dusty tendrils - stellar nursery 30 Doradus resides within the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. It is the largest and brightest star-forming region near our own galaxy, as well home to the hottest, most massive stars known.
This is a region of particular interest to astronomers since this nebula is producing new stars at a rapid rate, also its relative proximity to us allows for precise study.
In this composite image of the Tarantula Nebula, Chandra's X-rays (shown in royal blue and purple) identify supernova explosion remnants, while Webb reveals forming baby stars in near-infrared.
