Keyhole Nebula 🔑 The "Keyhole" is only a small portion of the larger Carina Nebula, a tumultuous star-forming factory about 7,500 light-years away. The Carina Nebula is sculpted by the action of outflowing winds and scorching ultraviolet radiation from the huge, monster stars that lie within. Eta Carinae reigns near the heart of the nebula; it's a system of at least two stars, the largest of which (Eta Car A) is around 100 times as massive as our Sun and 5 million times as luminous.

Star Formation from The Carina Nebula to The Cosmic Cliffs | NASA FriendsofNASA.org: This scientific visualization traverses the vast star-forming region of the Carina Nebula Complex using multiwavelength data from NASA space telescopes. The narrated journey explores clusters of massive young stars, the mottled structure of dust clouds, and high-energy x-ray emission, before embarking on a 3D flight through the James Webb Space Telescope’s famous image nicknamed “Cosmic Cliffs”. The sequence sta

Journey to Nebula NGC 3324 in Carina | MPG/ESO Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: The Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory has imaged a region of star formation called NGC 3324. The intense radiation from several of NGC 3324's massive, blue-white stars has carved out a cavity in the surrounding gas and dust. The ultraviolet radiation from these young hot stars also cause the gas cloud to glow in rich colors. Distance: 7,500 light years Learn about the MPG/ES

Trumpler 14 is located 8,000 light-years away in the Carina Nebula, a huge star formation region. This 500,000-year-old star cluster has one of the highest concentrations of massive stars in our entire Milky Way Galaxy. A small nugget of cold molecular hydrogen, called a Bok globule, is silhouetted subtly against the star cluster. Furiously burning their hydrogen fuel, the cluster's blue-white stars will soon explode as supernovae in a few million years. The combination of stellar ‘winds’ and su
