Carina Nebula
Taken by the La Silla Paranal Observatory in Chile, the newest picture of the Carina nebula reveals glowing dust and brilliant star clusters in stunning detail.
Carina sits about 7,500 light-years away in the constellation of the same name. The nebula gets its red and purple hues from hot hydrogen gas interacting with ultraviolet radiation from the nebula’s massive young stars.
