The Tarantula Nebula has an apparent magnitude of 8. Considering its distance of about 49 kpc [2] (160,000 light-years), this is an extremely luminous non-stellar object. Its luminosity is so great that if it were as close to Earth as the Orion Nebula, the Tarantula Nebula would cast visible shadows. [13]
A 1978 survey carried out by Jorge Melnick covered the 30 Doradus region and found six new Wolf–Rayet (WR) stars, all belonging to the WN sequence.The survey observed stars that were above [clarification needed] apparent magnitude 14 and within 2 arcminutes of the centre of the 30 Doradus nebula, and the star now known as BAT99‑98 was labelled as star J.
VFTS 682 is a Wolf–Rayet star in the Large Magellanic Cloud.It is located over 29 parsecs (95 ly) north-east of the massive cluster R136 in the Tarantula Nebula. [5] It is 138 times the mass of the Sun and 3.2 million times more luminous, which makes it one of the most massive and most luminous stars known.
Researchers have unveiled intricate details of the star-forming region known as the Tarantula Nebula which lies 170,000 light years from Earth. Scientists map violent nebula to discover how stars ...
NASA unveiled the latest images from the James Webb Space Telescope on Tuesday, which focused on the Tarantula Nebula, a mass of interstellar gas and dust home to countless stars. The nebula is ...
It is a loose cluster approximately 10 million years old, within one of the Tarantula Nebula's superbubbles formed by the combined stellar winds of the cluster or by old supernovae. [ 1 ] NGC 2060 is often used synonymously for the supernova remnant N157B [ 2 ] (30 Doradus B [ 3 ] ) which is a larger area of faint nebulosity and strong radio ...
The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is a large H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It is one of the largest H II regions in the Local Group, with an estimated diameter around 650 to 1860 light years. It is around 160,000 light-years from Earth and has apparent magnitude of 8.
