Hubble's high resolution view of the star-forming region of Tarantula Nebula and the R136 super star cluster at its center. 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.
NGC 2074 is a magnitude ~8 emission nebula in the Tarantula Nebula located in the constellation Dorado. It was discovered on 3 August 1826 by James Dunlop and around 1835 by John Herschel . It is described as being "pretty bright, pretty large, much extended, [and having] 5 stars involved".

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 ]
