A gorgeous greetings card featuring the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, our galactic home. This Hubble image shows old stars from the distant past and rich, interstellar gas clouds the formation of new ones. The most significant and hottest stars are intense, high-energy radiation and this pushes away from what remains of the gas and dust, compress and sculpting it. The whorls and eddies clump and stretch it, gravity takes over and the birth of the next generation of new stars is triggered.
