This week, get caught in the spider’s web.

Check out the incredibly detailed view our Hubble Space Telescope captured of the Tarantula Nebula! This cosmic spider resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy located about 160,000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa. The Tarantula Nebula is the largest and brightest star-forming region, not just in the Large Magellanic Cloud, but in the entire group of nearby galaxies to which the Milky Way belongs. It's also home to the most massive stars known, some roughly 200 times as massive as our Sun.
