A stunning new photo from the Hubble Space Telescope has captured an unprecedented panoramic view of the Tarantula nebula, revealing its bright heart of massive stars. The photo is actually a colossal mosaic — one of the largest ever built from Hubble images — and shows an intense star-forming hotspot called 30 Doradus. Hubble’s science team unveiled the image today (April 17) ahead of the 22nd anniversary of the iconic space telescope’s launch on April 24, 1990.

In 2011, Indian-born, British-based artist, Anish Kapoor was invited to create a work that responds to the Monumental architectural space of the Grand Palais in Paris, and created the following breath taking sculpture called Leviathan.
