At the heart of the Tarantula nebula.
Well I don't think it is over saturated. Can you explain? Dipankan001 (talk) 06:05, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure, therefore I'm not opposing, but I got that impression. I wanted to know if you have a less zoomed-in file, to see if the blue comes from the nebula material. Because space background usually looks more blackish. Blue is really intense here, that's why it looks O.S. to me. --Paolo Costa (talk) 12:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well I think you've a misconception - Stars which are very hot, especially near Nebulas shine brightly and give out blue light. Small stars, like our star, is not that hot and does not give blue light. Dipankan001 (talk) 11:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
