Explanation: First cataloged as a star, 30 Doradus is actually an immense star forming region in nearby galaxy The Large Magellanic Cloud. The region's spidery appearance is responsible for its popular name, the Tarantula nebula, except that this tarantula is about 1,000 light-years across, and 180,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Dorado. If the Tarantula nebula were at the distance of the Orion Nebula (1,500 light-years), the nearest stellar nursery to Earth, it would appear to cover about 30 degrees (60 full moons) on the sky. The spindly arms of the Tarantula nebula surround NGC 2070, a star cluster that contains some of the brightest, most massive stars known. Intriguing details of the nebula are visible in this scientifically-colored image. The cosmic Tarantula also lies near the site of the closest recent supernova.

说明：起初被编录为一颗恒星的剑鱼座30，实际上是大麦哲伦星云附近一个极大的恒星形成区域。这个区域类似蜘蛛一样的外形，让它有了蜘蛛星云这个名字，只不过这只蜘蛛大小约有1,000光年，位于剑鱼座内，距离我们大约18万光年远。如果蜘蛛星云距离我们只有1,500光年远（以猎户座星云的距离，该星云也是距离地球最近的恒星孕育场），那它将在天空中覆盖大约30度天区（60个满月的大小）。蜘蛛星云细长的触手围绕着NGC2070，NGC2070是一个恒星团，其内拥有一些迄今为止所知道的最明亮、质量最大的恒星。有趣的星云细节还可以在这张科学着色的影像中看到。这只宇宙蜘蛛还位于最近发生的超新星附近。

嗯 够牛啊
呵呵

非常梦幻，还有点魔幻
