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]
The nebula is a prominent naked-eye object in the southern skies showing a complex mix of emission, reflection and dark nebulosity. η Carinae is known to be at the same distance as the Carina Nebula and its spectrum can be seen reflected off various star clouds in the nebula. [82] The appearance of the Carina Nebula, and particularly of the ...
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.
The Homunculus Nebula is a bipolar emission and reflection nebula surrounding the massive star system Eta Carinae, about 7,500 light-years (2,300 parsecs) from Earth. The nebula is embedded within the much larger Carina Nebula , a large star-forming H II region .
NGC 3576 is a bright emission nebula in the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy a few thousand light-years away from the Eta Carinae nebula. It is also approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth. [3] It was discovered by John Frederick William Herschel on 16 March 1834. [4] This nebula has received six different ...
Trumpler 16 (Tr 16) is a massive open cluster that is home to some of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way galaxy. It is situated within the Carina Nebula complex in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm, located approximately 9,270 ly (2,842 pc) from Earth. [1]
Hen 2-47 is a young planetary nebula that lies about 6600 light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Carina, the keel. [2] Hen 2-47 contains six lobes of gas and dust that suggest that the central star of the nebula ejected material at least three times in three different directions. During each ejection, the star fired off a ...
