Thanks Mike, yes this is a truly massive star! Also amazing to think that just 1-2 million years ago the whole Tarantula nebulas was probably not even visible, since this young cluster provides all the energy that lights it up.

Thank you Marc. I added the short 0.9s subs deliberately to get the highest possible resolution in the core, so I'm glad you noticed this

Thanks Rob, glad you liked it. It's always great to be able to show a new aspect of an otherwise familiar target.
