James Webb Telescope Snares Eye-Popping View of Tarantula Nebula

Summary

This article by Amanda Kooser, writing for CNET, makes the following points:

• JWST sees the universe in infrared light, letting it peer deep into space.
• The Tarantula Nebula images are an excellent example of what the JWST is capable of.
• The nebula's formal name is 30 Doradus, but its spindly 'legs' of dust and gas filaments earned it the spidery nickname.
