    Edit Photo Details The Tarantula   #mountain #owl #tarantula #fred #observatory #herrmann
    One of my favorite images taken awhile back from Siding Springs Australia. The Tarantula is located in the southern constellation Dorado (Dolphin Fish) at a distance of 160,000 light-years. The Tarantula is so intensely bright it would cast a shadow at night were it “only” 1,300 light-years distant as is the Great Nebula in Orion! Some of the brightest and most massive stars known are located in the star cluster located at its core. http://owlmountainobservatory.com
