The name Tarantula Nebula arose in the mid-20th century from its appearance in deep photographic exposures. [7] 30 Doradus has often been treated as the designation of a star, [8] [9] or of the central star cluster NGC 2070, [10] but is now generally treated as referring to the whole nebula area of the Tarantula Nebula.

Astronomers trained three of Webb's high-resolution infrared instruments on the nebula and spotted young stars, as well as distant galaxies. Webb telescope's new photo of the Tarantula Nebula ...
R136 produces most of the energy that makes the Tarantula Nebula visible. The estimated mass of the cluster is 450,000 solar masses, suggesting it may become a globular cluster in the future. [ 7 ] R136 has around 200 times the stellar density of a typical OB association such as Cygnus OB2 . [ 8 ]
