The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed the Tarantula Emission Nebula (also known as NGC 2070) in the constellation Golden Fish.

This was reported by the observatory, reported Ukrinform.

The Tarantula Nebula is a massive star-forming region of ionized hydrogen located 161,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

What’s more, turbulent clouds of gas and dust can be seen among this region’s newly formed bright stars.

The Tarantula Nebula is said to be a familiar place for Hubble because it is the brightest star forming region in our galactic neighbors and is the “home” of the hottest and most massive stars known.

This object was discovered by French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, who first observed the object in 1751.

As Ukrinform reports, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the irregular dwarf galaxy UGC 7983 in the constellation Virgo.
