Tarantula Nebula 30 Doradus or NGC 2070

Hello fellows of Cyberspace, today I want to share these astrophotographs that I have taken of NGC 2070 through the network of telescopes of Slooh these photos are with the telescope Canary Four.

The nebula of the Tarantula, also known as 30 Doradus since it is found in the constellation La Dorada or the Golden Fish. This nebula is the largest known nebula in our sky. it is an H II region that is found in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Initially considered a star, in 1751 Nicolas Louis de Lacaille recognized its nature as a nebula, it is considered to be about 170,000 light years. The closest supernova observed since the invention of the telescope, SN 1987A, took place on the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud.



I hope you like it
