The James Webb Telescope captured the image of the cosmic ‘tarantula’

Thin nebulae are beige in color, with rust-colored highlights surrounding a black central area. NASA released a new image of thousands of young, never-before-seen stars on Tuesday, September 6.

This image shows a mosaic spanning 340 light-years across, taken with the infrared camera of the James Webb Space Telescope (NIRCam). The stellar nursery 30 Dorados has earned its nickname the Tarantula Nebula because of its long, dusty filaments.

Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy, it is the largest and brightest star-forming region near our galaxy. It is also home to the most famous and hottest stars. ⁣

The image shows a large yellow star with eight long, thin points. To the right of this star is a group of bright, oval-shaped stars. The stars within the cluster look like tiny pale blue sparkles.

In the lower part of the image, several arms appear to spiral out of the cloud. The structures look like spider or squid. Dotted in the picture are other eight-pointed stars blue or yellow, as well as distant galaxies.
