Hubble Telescope Snaps Images of Tarantula Nebula

Posted by samzenpus on from the look-at-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped a series new images inside the Tarantula Nebula, located within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) – the third closest galaxy to the Milky Way. Hubble officials previously released images of the spidery nebula, however, this is the deepest view of the intriguing cosmic region full of star clusters yet."

    Maybe Slashdot should have someone look submissions over and correct errors - "edit" them, if you will. We could call them "editors." Hey, you could even pay them money so they don't do a half-arsed job of it!

    Stop with space.com slashvertisements already, it's nauseating.

    space.com are leeches who are not competent enough to link to the frigging Hubble site. You know, the very minimum of what one can do to credit the work of the people who actually built the space telescope, took these amazing pictures, processed them, and brought them to the masses.

    Funny use of the word "snaps", considering the exposure time of 103 hours (TFA). But I guess, on a cosmological scale...
