The Milky Way does not produce stars at the same rate as the Tarantula Nebula and has a different chemical composition.
The James Webb Space Telescope took a picture of the galactic nebula NGC 2070, located in the constellation Dorado. ESA reports.
The Tarantula Nebula, so named for the appearance of its dust filaments. This space object has long been a favorite of star-studying astronomers.
It was noted that NGC 2070 is located only 161 thousand light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, which is the largest and brightest star-forming region in the Local Group of galaxies closest to our Milky Way.
This area is home to the hottest and largest known stars.
One reason astronomers are interested in the Tarantula Nebula is that the nebula has a similar chemical composition to the giant star-forming regions seen in the universe when the cosmos was only a few billion years old and star formation was on top of it.
It was previously reported that Hubble had photographed two overlapping spiral galaxies SDSS J115331 and LEDA 2073461.
