The Tarantula Nebula: Its Enduring Stellar Lifecycle | NASA Webb & Chandra
The "Tarantula Nebula" (officially known as 30 Doradus) is available in a composite image of Chandra and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data for the first time.
The image combines X-rays from Chandra (blue and purple) and infrared data from JWST (red, orange, green, and light blue).
30 Doradus is a region of active star formation located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a neighbor galaxy of the Milky Way.
30 Doradus has a chemical composition similar to what most nebulas in our Galaxy had several billion years ago.
