NGC 2070 – The Tarantula Nebula
The Tarantula Nebula is one of the most interesting astronomical objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the most important of the neighboring galaxies, which we can observe in detail in this image.
The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus or NGC 2070, is an H II region found in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Initially it was considered only a star, but in 1751 Nicolas Louis de Lacaille recognized its nebula nature after making observations of it.
With an apparent magnitude of 5, the Tarantula Nebula is an extremely luminous object, this object is only visible from the Southern Hemisphere, it is approximately 160,000 light years from us in the constellation Dorado.
