The Tarantula Nebula : The Tarantula Nebula is more than a thousand light-years in diameter, a giant star forming region within nearby satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 180 thousand light-years away. The largest, most violent star forming region known in the whole Local Group of galaxies, the cosmic arachnid sprawls across this spectacular composite view constructed with space- and ground-based image data. Within the Tarantula , intense radiation, stellar winds and supernova shocks from the central young cluster of massive stars, cataloged as R136, energize the nebular glow and shape the spidery filaments. Around the Tarantula are other star forming regions with young star clusters, filaments, and blown-out bubble-shaped clouds In fact, the frame includes the site of the closest supernova in modern times, SN 1987A, at the lower right. The rich field of view spans about 1 degree or 2 full moons, in the southern constellation Dorado. But were the Tarantula Nebula closer, say 1,500 light-years distant like the local star forming Orion Nebula, it would take up half the sky. via NASA

Spatial resolution of Hi-C compared to that of SDO/AIA

The highest resolution data from the corona we currently get on a regular basis are from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), however, even higher resolution images have been obtained during a sounding rocket flight by the High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C). The scientific objectives of Hi-C are central to the goal of understanding the Sun’s activity and its effects on the terrestrial environment by providing unprecedented views of small-scale structures in the solar atmosphere.

The Hi-C instrument is scheduled to launch on a sounding rocket May 29, 2018. This will be the third launch of the Hi-C instrument.
