    Paint with all the colors of the (stellar) wind 🎨 Data from @NASAHubble, @chandraxray, and @NASAWebb combine to give us a vibrant look at the Tarantula Nebula. This star-forming region is 160,000 light-years away from Earth.
    The Tarantula Nebula—vibrant and colorful. Clouds of red, yellow, orange, and green crest over a background of deep blue haze, black space, and red stars. Bright spots of light line the center, causing parts of the clouds to glow luminous gold. Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/Ohio State Univ./J.
