Hubble’s latest portrait of the Tarantula Nebula reveals a turbulent star-making region far beyond the Milky Way. Located 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, this cosmic expanse is home to some of the most massive stars ever discovered—up to 200 times the Sun’s mass. The image captures intricate dust clouds, intense stellar winds from rare Wolf–Rayet stars, and the extraordinary chaos that fuels the birth of new suns.
