NGC 3324
NGC 3324 is an open cluster in the southern constellation of Carina, located northwest of the Carina Nebula at a distance of approximately 9,100 from Earth. It is closely associated with the IC 2599 emission nebula. The two are often confused as a single object, and together they have been nicknamed "Gabriela Mistral Nebula" due to its resemblance to the Chilean poet.
