This image, released on Feb. 12, 2025, is the Deepest X-Ray Image Ever Made of the Spectacular Star Forming Region Called 30 Doradus. By combining x-ray data from nasa’s chandra x-ray observatorry (blue and green) with optical data from Nasa’s hubble space telescope (Yellow) and radio data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (Orange), this Stellar Arrangement Comes Alive.
Otherwise Known as the Tarantula Nebula, 30 DOR is Located About 160,000 Light-Years Away in A Small Neighboring Galaxy to the Milky Way Known as the Large Magellanic Cloud. Because it one of the brightest and populated star-forming regions to earth, 30 dor is a frequent target for scientists trying to live more about how stars are born.
