Tarantula Nebula - ZandraJoi - 10-24-2023

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantula_Nebula

Now just go with the name, don't think of a big spider that is out to get you lol This is in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Quite beautiful! I wish I could see it but these are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Anybody seen it? What do you think? Does it look like a tarantula to you?

Well, I can sort of see how it looks like a tarantula... it has those wispy formations that vaguely resemble legs .

Like you, though, I'm not in the Southern Hemisphere - so, I've never seen it!
