Recent optical and infrared studies of 30 Doradus have revealed a more complex and diverse star-formation history than previously recognized. Five spatially and/or temporally distinct populations have been identified, including a new generation currently being triggered by the R136 cluster in its surroundings. HST/NICMOS observations of the latter provide insights into the phenomena of triggered massive-star formation, as well as the global structure and evolution of the starburst region.

AbstractI review massive star formation in our Galaxy, focussing on initial conditions in Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs), including the search for massive pre-stellar cores (PSCs), and modeling of later stages of massive protostars, i.e., hot molecular cores (HMCs). I highlight how developments in astrochemistry, coupled with rapidly improving theoretical/computational and observational capabilities are helping to improve our understanding of the complex process of massive star formation.
