most galaxies do not live in isolation

They are actually long lanes of stars and gas laced with dust

giving direct evidence that nearly all of the matter in the clusters is dark

The photo was created by combining nearly 50 frames and shows a 360 degree view of the night sky including the foreground

The Heart of Tarantula Nebula landscape This photograph was taken duringThe image shows the central region of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The young and dense star cluster R136 can be seen at the lower right of the image. This cluster contains hundreds of young, blue stars, among them the most massive stars detected in the universe so far. Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope were able to conduct a detailed imaging and spectroscopic study of the central and most dense region of this
