Carina Nebula

The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) is a large, complex nebula in Carina, about 8,500 light-years away in the Milky Way's Carina-Sagittarius Arm. It is four times larger and brighter than the Orion Nebula but less known because it lies in the southern sky.

It contains young star clusters such as Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16, home of Eta Carinae. Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille discovered it in 1752, and it was among the first targets imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope.
