Description
R136
This image is of a young stellar grouping called R136, only a few million years old and situated in the 30 Doradus Nebula. The nebula itself is a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. Several of those blue, diamond-like stars are over 100 times more massive than our Sun and are destined to become supernovas in a few million years.
