NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured another stunning image of our universe, this time in the form of a cosmic tarantula. Thousands of never seen newborn stars have been spotted in the stellar nursery called 30 Doradus.

Originally known as 30 Doradus, it has been nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula due to the presence of dusty filaments in prior telescopic images of the nebula. Astronomers investigating star formation have long been drawn to the nebula.

The nebula is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. At approximately 161,000 light-years away, it is home to the biggest and brightest star-forming area in the Local Group, the galaxies closest to our Milky Way.
