Eta Carinae Nebula
The Eta Carinae Nebula, NGC 3372, is located 7,500 lightyears away from Earth and spans a distance of over 300 lightyears. It is one of the largest star-forming regions in our Milky Way galaxy.
The region can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere sky and is host to at least a dozen stars that are each between 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun, but it is named after its most famous stellar member: star Eta Carinae (credit: Skyatnightmagazine.com).
