It's Amazing that views like this can be seen in a neighboring Galaxy. Just checking in on APOD each day is rewarding.

Hello

"The Tarantula Nebula NGC 2070 was first cataloged as a star, 30 Doradus. It was recognized to be a nebula by Abbe Lacaille in 1751-52."

It is fantastic, this nebula has been formed from many star explsions I think.
