Carina (/ k ə ˈ r aɪ n ə, k ə ˈ r iː n ə / kə-RY-nə, - REE-) is a constellation in the southern sky.Its name is Latin for the keel of a ship, and it was the southern foundation of the larger constellation of Argo Navis (the ship Argo) until it was divided into three pieces, the other two being Puppis (the poop deck), and Vela (the sails of the ship).
η Carinae is found within the Carina Nebula, a giant star-forming region in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way. 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 ...
Canopus, the former α Argus, is now α Carinae in the modern constellation Carina. Norma's Alpha and Beta were reassigned to Scorpius and re-designated N and H Scorpii respectively, leaving Norma with no Alpha. Francis Baily died before designating an Alpha in Leo Minor, so it also has no Alpha.
