Description

Here's a recent image of our other Magellanic cloud down here in the Southern Hemisphere dominated by our favorite Spider the Tarantula.  Unfortunatelly due to a rotation issue I had to crop this in much more than I normally would, however I still enjoy the image and the amount of surrounding nebulosity packed into this image.  It really does give the impression of falling into a 3D web.
