Astronomers trained three of Webb's high-resolution infrared instruments on the nebula and spotted young stars, as well as distant galaxies.

The Tarantula Nebula has been photographed by several observatories in the past, but new images captured by the James Webb Telescope give us a clearer, sharper view of the star-forming region.

A new paper digs into how and why the Tarantula Nebula is making new stars even though it shouldn't be able to.

The Tarantula Nebula has been a favorite of astronomers studying star formation since it has has a similar chemical makeup to that of the gigantic star-forming regions at the universe’s cosmic noon.

A snapshot of the Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus) is the most recent Picture of the Week from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

James Webb Space Telescope's newest infrared images reveal star formation in the Tarantula Nebula and may shed light on nebulae in the early universe.

The Tarantula Nebula is officially known as the 30 Doradus but is nicknamed since the region “resembles a burrowing tarantula’s home, lined with its silk,” according to NASA.

Thousands of never-before-seen young stars are spotted in a stellar nursery called 30 Doradus, captured by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.
