Original - The massive, young stellar grouping, called R136, is only a few million years old and resides in the 30 Doradus Nebula, a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. There is no known star-forming region in our galaxy as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus. The image, taken in ultraviolet, visible, and red light by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, spans about 100 light-years.

Support As usual NASA do as much with the image as to misrepresent the subject. Unfortunately they rule how we see this part of the world. franklin 16:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)reply
