We’re going even deeper into the web with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope! 🕸️ These Hubble and Webb views unveil a brilliant star-forming region called the Tarantula Nebula, which earned its nickname due to its dusty filaments. At a distance of 161,000 light-years, it’s home to the hottest and most massive stars known. Hubble has observed this nebula many times, allowing astronomers to learn more about how stars form – along with collecting some stunning views. Webb’s new, mosaic view stretch

Pan of The Tarantula Nebula | James Webb Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust. The most active region appears to sparkle with massive young stars, appearing pale blue. Scattered among them are still-embedded stars, appearing red, yet to

Zoom into The Tarantula Nebula | James Webb Space Telescope Support FriendsofNASA.org | This video takes the viewer on a journey that zooms through space to reveal the Tarantula Nebula. Thousands of never-before-seen young stars are spotted in the stellar nursery called 30 Doradus, captured by the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope. It is nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula for the appearance of its dusty filaments in previous telescope images, the nebula has
