Most Massive Star and the Tarantula Nebula | Hubble Images 4K | Episode 5

The Top 100 Hubble Pictures Series. Today we are travelling to the Tarantula Nebula or 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This is the biggest HII nebula in the local cluster of galaxies, and there is a lot of interesting things to see, including the most massive star, the brightest star, and the fastest rotating star. We also look at SN1987a, a supernova remnant.

On the ESA/NASA website for the Hubble Space Telescope http://www.spacetelescope.org/ there is a section dedicated to the top 100 pictures ever taken by Hubble. I will go through these pictures one by one and explain what is going on.
