[3] It was first observed by William Herschel on December 28, 1785, who described it as: considerably bright, nearly round, like a star with a large diameter, like an ill-defined planetary nebula.

Voting period ends on 22 Jul 2022 at 16:06:30 (UTC) 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 ...
The Southern Ring Nebula was selected as one of the five cosmic objects observed by the James Webb Space Telescope as part of the release of its first official science images on July 12, 2022. [4] Two images of NGC 3132 in near- and mid-infrared light. [5]
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.

NGC 2261 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, and an image of the nebula was released in 1999. [6] A timelapse of NGC 2261 was taken over a period of 6 months by over 20 amateur astronomers at the Big Amateur Telescope from October 2021 – April 2022. In August 2022, the project was resumed as NGC 2261 came out from behind the Sun. [7]
