In the center of the Tarantula Nebula lies a huge star cluster, called R136. It contains some of the largest, hottest, and most massive stars known. Gas and dust clouds in the nebula, have been sculpted into elongated shapes by powerful winds and ultraviolet radiation from these hot cluster stars. It lies within a neighboring galaxy known as the Large Magellanic Cloud and is located a mere 170,000 light-years away.
