The nebula, a center of star formation, lies 7,500 light-years from Earth.
This Hubble Space Telescope photo shows just a slice of the Carina Nebula, a stellar nursery that lies 7,500 light-years from Earth. The whole nebula is too massive to capture in one image.
Twinkling stars blanket this new view of the Carina Nebula, a vast cloud of dust and gas that lies 7,500 light-years from Earth. captured this image in December 2022.
