Tarantula nebula

Post by Frankskywatcher »


I could not stop looking at this image plus I enjoyed the article !
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/20 ... asa-s-webb

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE, in the article there is an embedded link that takes you right to the web telescope page itself.
They have downloadable images of that nebula at different resolutions.
After downloading one image and then being able to “open it” expand it,I got lost in the center with the mass of baby stars, check it out!😳
