Eigentlich eine Wolfsspinnenart, ist die Tarantel auch Namensgeber für einen Sternennebel:

Released today by the European Southern Observatory, this image emphasizes the Tarantula Nebula's luminosity and spidery shape—both whipped into being by the intense radiation and winds of the superhot star cluster at the picture's center.
At 170,000 light-years away, the nebula hangs above one of the closest galaxies to our own. Though near enough, big enough, and bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, the Tarantula Nebula looks best through a large telescope—in this case, the Very Large Telescope, actually a cluster of four 8-meter-wide (26-foot-wide) telescopes in the Chile's Atacama Desert.
