Within the Carina Nebula is Eta Carinae, a binary star system whose largest Sun had a super-bright “Great Eruption” in 1843. It still fluctuates in brightness— just like Betelgeuse in Orion .

And yet I still can’t believe what I’m seeing in this picture of the Carina Nebula, a luminous region about 7,600 light-years away. The nebula is home to countless young stars, glittering like ...

image: This mosaic shows the Carina Nebula (left part of the image), home of the Eta Carinae star system. This part was observed with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at ...

The young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 is more than 7,000 light years away in the Carina Nebula. NASA’s photos of this spot in the universe reveal a massive, gaseous cavity on the edge ...

The Homunculus Nebula surrounds the Eta Carinae star system, ... With these calculations, NASA created the first high-resolution, fully 3D model of the Homunculus Nebula.

Finally, we get the Carina Nebula, a star-forming region about 7,600 light-years away. The focus is on the edge of the nebula, what NASA is calling the nebula's "cosmic cliffs." ...

See the highest-resolution views yet of the explosive star system Eta Carinae, which is 7,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Carina. ... This mosaic shows the Carina Nebula, ...

The Carina Nebula spans more than 100 light-years and is visible to the naked eye ... Both the optical and near-infrared imagers use large-format detectors to obtain high-resolution shots of wide ...

Eta Carinae, a star system in the Carina Nebula, is of major interest as it is widely-regarded as the candidate to become the next Super Nova in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The power of the Eta Carinae ...

The Carina Nebula is some 7500 light-years distant in the constellation of the same name (Carina, or The Keel). It is among the brightest nebulae in the sky because of its large population of high ...

An international team of astronomers have used the Very Large Telescope Interferometer to image the Eta Carinae star system in the greatest detail ever achieved. They found new and unexpected ...
