The sharpest image of the Tarantula Nebula has been published
The Tarantula Nebula is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful constellations visible from Earth. ESA has just released the sharpest image ever taken of this nebula. Scientists also looked inside. As they say, they did not find any tarantula in it.
