The largest and brightest region of star formation in the Local Group of galaxies, including the Milky Way, is called 30 Doradus (or, informally, the Tarantula Nebula). Located in the Large Magellanic ...

A new photo from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows two star clusters that appear to be in the early stages of merging. The colliding clusters are 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic ...

The young star may have travelled about 375 light-years from its suspected home in R136, the bright star cluster marked by a circle. Nestled in the core of 30 Doradus, R136 is one of the most massive ...

New research from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), whose science mission operations were managed by Universities Space Research Association, has shown that the magnetic ...

In stellar terms, weighing as much as 90 suns ought to get you some respect. But the star 30 Doradus 016 was born in a particularly rough neighborhood. New research presented May 3 and in an upcoming ...

The star-forming region 30 Doradus is one of the largest located close to the Milky Way and is found in the neighboring galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud. About 2,400 massive stars in the center of 30 ...

image: This image of the 30 Doradus Nebula, a rambunctious stellar nursery, and the enlarged inset photo show a heavyweight star that may have been kicked out of its home by a pair of heftier siblings ...

Left: RGB image of 30 Dor for [C ii] with blue, 235–245 km s−1; green, 245–255 km s−1; and red, 255–270 km s−1. The contours indicate the HAWC+ 214 μm dust continuum emission starting at 0.1 Jy ...

A heavy runaway star rushing away from a nearby stellar nursery at more than 400,000 kilometres per hour, a speed that would get you to the Moon and back in two hours. The runaway is the most extreme ...
