Chandra captured the deepest X-ray image ever made of the spectacular star forming region called 30 Doradus. These images show the X-rays from Chandra, as well as optical data from Hubble, infrared data from Spitzer, and radio data from ALMA, and reveal one of the brightest and crowded regions of star formation relatively close to Earth. The Chandra data shows thousands of individual star systems as X-ray sources plus a diffuse X-ray glow from winds blowing off giant stars and gas expelled by supernovas.
