Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys observed the supernova remnant on 28 October 2006 with a filter that isolates light from the glowing hydrogen seen in the expanding shell

VFTS 102: The Fastest Rotating Massive Star Wall Art Size:24 x 24 at this early stage theThis view shows part of the stellar nursery called the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighbour of the Milky Way. At the centre lies the brilliant star VFTS 102 This view includes both visible light and infrared images from the Wide Field Imager at the MPG ESO 2. 2 metre telescope at La Silla and the 4. 1 metre infrared VISTA telescope at Paranal. VFTS 102 is the most rapidly rotating star ever found. Credit: ESO M. R. Cioni
