Before you ask, yes, we see that face-shaped cloud made of dust and gas (with stars for eyes) on the right side of this image as well.  

But the Tarantula Nebula is a far wilder place than weird red blobs. It is a large star-forming region of ionized hydrogen gas that lies 161,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Its turbulent clouds of gas and dust can be seen swirling between the region’s luminous, newly formed stars.

Also known as 30 Doradus, it is the brightest star-forming region in our galactic neighborhood and home to the hottest, most massive stars known. This makes it an excellent natural laboratory to test theories of star formation and evolution.
