Tarantula Nebula
James Webb Space Telescope
Landscape Orientation

Publisher's Note:
This image is extremely high resolution, and will produce tack-sharp images. We recommend the 12x18 or 24x36 sizes for a wider crop.
For the full panorama image, see JWST Tarantula Nebula Panorama


To the upper left of the cluster of young stars, and the top of the nebula’s cavity, an older star prominently displays NIRCam’s distinctive eight diffraction spikes, an artifact of the telescope’s structure. Following the top central spike of this star upward, it almost points to a distinctive bubble in the cloud. Young stars still surrounded by dusty material are blowing this bubble, beginning to carve out their own cavity. Astronomers used two of Webb’s spectrographs to take a closer look at this region and determine the chemical makeup of the star and its surrounding gas. This spectral information will tell astronomers about the age of the nebula and how many generations of star birth it has seen. 

Farther from the core region of hot young stars, cooler gas takes on a rust color, telling astronomers that the nebula is rich with complex hydrocarbons. This dense gas is the material that will form future stars. As winds from the massive stars sweep away gas and dust, some of it will pile up and, with gravity’s help, form new stars.

Sizes are in inches and these are our defaults. If you require custom border sizes or no border, then please contact us or specify in the comments section at Checkout.

Unframed Premium and Fine Art Prints

Prints over 11"x14" come with borders by default.

    All images are cropped to fit the selected size within +/- .5". Therefore, some part of the image may not appear in the final print, when comparing to the online thumbnail. This missing part may appear on the sides or the top and bottom. This is a standard printing practice so that the finished product will fit standard frame sizes. This cropping is the default action.

    If you would like uncropped images, tell us by putting a note in the comment section at Checkout. Keep in mind that the uncropped image size will always be smaller than the ordered size.

    The actual sizes of objects in the image may not vary within 1/2" due to printer resizing during the final print imaging on the printers.

    Wrong size shipped

    Ordered a 20x30 and received a 16x20. Emailed them about it. Still waiting on a response after five days. Print quality is fine but I can't use it for where I planned to hang it.

    Hi Grover, that's our mistake and we want to fix it. We'll print the correct 20x30 and ship it out as soon as we hear back from you. Please email contact@skyimagelab.com with your order number and we'll get the reprint moving today.
