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.
The 17th-anniversary celebration featured a panorama of part of the Carina Nebula, and a collection of images selected from that area. [4]In its 17 years of exploring the heavens, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made nearly 800,000 observations and snapped nearly 500,000 images of more than 25,000 celestial objects.
Hubble image of the Homunculus Nebula; inset is a VLT NACO infrared image of η Carinae. Until late in the 20th century, the temperature of η Carinae was assumed to be over 30,000 K because of the presence of high-excitation spectral lines, but other aspects of the spectrum suggested much lower temperatures and complex models were created to ...
The world gets its first glimpse of ancient light courtesy of NASA's Webb telescope, the most sophisticated and ambitious deep-space viewing tool yet assembled. Cosmic beauty shots from NASA's ...
Mystic Mountain The location of the feature can be seen in this wider view of the Carina Nebula. Mystic Mountain is a photograph and a term for a region in the Carina Nebula imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The view was captured by the then-new Wide Field Camera 3, though the region was also viewed by the previous generation instrument.
Original – This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.
English: What looks much like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth.
The Carina Nebula is home to young, extremely massive stars, including the still enigmatic variable Eta Carinae, a star with well over 100 times the mass of the Sun. Eta Carinae is the brightest star right "under" the dusty Keyhole Nebula (NGC 3324). While Eta Carinae itself maybe on the verge of a supernova explosion, X-ray images ...
