Summary
| Description |
English: Colour-composite image of the Carina Nebula, revealing exquisite details in the stars and dust of the region. Several well known astronomical objects can be seen in this wide field image : to the bottom left of the image is one of the most impressive binary stars in the Universe, Eta Carinae, with the famous Keyhole Nebula just adjacent to the star. The collection of very bright, young stars above and to the right of Eta Carinae is the open star cluster Trumpler 14. A second open star cluster, Collinder 228 is also seen in the image, just below Eta Carinae. The Carina Nebula also bears the NGC 3372 designation. On this image, North is up and East is to the left. The field of view is 0.55 x 0.55 degrees, covering a 72 x 72 light-year region at the distance of the nebula.

Varios objetos astronómicos bastante conocidos se aprecian en esta imagen de campo amplio: abajo a la izquierda está una de las estrellas binarias más impresionantes del Universo, Eta Carinae, con la famosa Nebulosa Ojo de Cerradura justo adyacente a la estrella. El grupo de estrellas jóvenes muy brillantes encima y hacia la derecha de Eta Carinae es el cúmulo abierto de estrellas Trumpler 14. Un segundo cúmulo abierto de estrellas, Collinder 228, también se ve en la imagen justo debajo de Eta Carinae. El norte está arriba y el este hacia la izquierda. El campo de visión es de 0.55 x 0.55 grados, cubriendo una región de 144 x 144 años-luz desde la nebulosa. |
