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.
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]
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 ]
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 26 sculptures were installed on New Brighton beach in Wirral, Merseyside, to highlight the importance of global climate conference Cop26.
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.
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 ...
