Description

NGC 2070 Tarantula nebula, part of Large Magellanic Cloud visible from southern hemisphere. It is one of the largest and brightest emission nebula known. It lies 160,000 light years from us. If it was as close as Orion (1300 light years), it would be visible in the day time, and would cast shadows.
