Tarantula nebula. The tarantula nebula,also known as 30 Doradus,is found in the Large Magellanic Cloud,approximately 170,000 light years from Earth. It is a giant area of star birth,measuring nearly 1000 light years across. The different colours seen in this image are due to the varying conditions in the interstellar gases.
