Tarantula Nebula
Edited European Southern Observatory image of the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Original caption: This image of the dramatic star formation region 30 Doradus, also known as the Tarantula Nebula, was created from a mosaic of images taken using the HAWK-I instrument working with the Adaptive optics Facility of ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. The stars are significantly sharper than the same image without adaptive optics being used, and fainter stars can be seen.
