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 ...
In the night sky, R136 appears as a 10th magnitude object at the core of the NGC 2070 cluster embedded in the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. [13] It required a 3.6 metre telescope to detect R136a as a component of R136 in 1979, [ 8 ] and resolving R136a to detect R136a1 requires a space telescope or sophisticated techniques ...
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 ]
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed more details about how star are formed in the Tarantula Nebula.
NGC 2060 is a star cluster within the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, very close to the larger NGC 2070 cluster containing R136. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1836. 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 ...
