24 impressive images of colorful clouds of the Carina Nebula

Let's explore 24 impressive images of the colorful clouds of the Carina Nebula!

A large number of molecular clouds and dense dust are hiding inside the cloud of the Carina Nebula, making the area opaque. However, these clouds are less dense than Earth's atmosphere many times. The Carina Nebula is designated NGC 3372 , spread over 300 light-years and lies 7,500 light-years from our Earth in the constellation Carina. Let's explore 24 impressive images of the colorful clouds of the Carina Nebula!

1. Pillars of Destruction (Pillars of Destruction)

The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) is a star nursery nursery about 7,500 light years from our Earth. These images show a few pillars of gas and dust protruding from the nebula. Dubbed " Ruins Columns ", these areas are being destroyed by radiation from new stars. Huge telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Hemisphere Observatory in Chile captured images using the MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) spectrophotometer.

2. The R18 area in the Carina nebula

MUSE tool on ESO's huge telescope is captured in the R18 area inside the Carina nebula. The pillars of dirt and gas that produce giant stars are gradually consumed by the stars themselves.

3. The R37 area in the Carina nebula

The giant giant star inside the R37 area of ​​the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years from Earth, destroys the clouds of dust and gas that created them. This image was taken using the MUSE spectroscopic instrument on ESO's Extra Large Telescope.

4. The R45 area in the Carina nebula

This is the mighty pillar of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) - a 3-light-long cloud of gas and dust that is corroded by bright light from the stars both in the surrounding environment and environment inside the cloud. ESO's huge telescope in Chile created images using the MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) spectrometer.

8. Bok Globules

The dark patches observed in this area of ​​the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) are called " Bok Globules ". The small, dark nebula is dense with gas and dust, so not much light can pass through. ESO's huge telescope in Chile created images using the MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) spectrometer.

9. Observe in detail the intense image of the Carina Nebula

Some astronomical objects known inside and near the Carina nebula can be seen on this wide field image: the bottom left of the photo is one of the most impressive binary stars in the Universe. Eta Carinae, superstar star with the famous Keyhole nebula near the star. The collection of extremely bright and young stars above and to the right of the superstar Eta Carinae is an open star cluster Trumpler 14. A second open star cluster - Collinder 228 is also in the picture, just below the superstar Eta Carinae . The north side is on the upper and east side on the left.
