The Cosmic Cliffs at the edge of NGC 3324, one of the first images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The Carina Nebula [7] or Eta Carinae Nebula [8] (catalogued as NGC 3372; also known as the Great Carina Nebula [9]) is a large, complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina, located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
NGC 3324 is an open cluster in the southern constellation Carina, located northwest of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) [3] [4] at a distance of 9,100 ly (2,800 pc) from Earth. [2] It is closely associated with the emission nebula IC 2599 , also known as Gum 31 . [ 5 ]
NGC 2867 (also known as Caldwell 90) is an elliptical [5] Type II [7] planetary nebula in the southern constellation of Carina, just over a degree to the NNW of the star Iota Carinae. [8] It was discovered by John Herschel on April 1, 1834.

HD 93129 is a triple star system in the Carina Nebula, with all three components being hot O class stars amongst the most luminous stars in the Milky Way.It is the dominant member of the Trumpler 14 star cluster, a young star cluster within the Carina OB1 stellar association that harbors other super-luminous stars, like Eta Carinae and WR 25.
NGC 3603 is a nebula situated in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way around 20,000 light-years away from the Solar System. It is a massive H II region containing a very compact open cluster (probably a super star cluster ) HD 97950 .
HD 93250 is marked above centre in this mosaic of the Carina Nebula region. HD 93250 is one of the brightest stars in the region of the Carina Nebula.It is only 7.5 arc-minutes from the famous Eta Carinae2,350 [7] and HD 93250 is considered to be a member of the same loose open cluster Trumpler 16, although it appears closer to the more compact Trumpler 14.
NGC 3199 [2] [1] [3] is an emission nebula in the constellation Carina.It is commonly known as the Banana Nebula [4] or Carina's Smile. [5] The object was discovered in 1826 by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. [6]
