10 mesmerizing images of Carina Nebula captured by NASA

The stunning Carina Nebula, a cosmic nursery of stars, has been vividly captured in exquisite detail by the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory.

This wide-angle infrared image of the Carina Nebula, a dynamic area of massive star formation in the southern skies, was captured using the HAWK-I camera on ESO’s Very Large Telescope.

This image of the 'Keyhole Nebula,' captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, unveils previously unseen details of a mysterious and intricate structure within the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372).

The pillar shown, made up of gas and dust, is located in the turbulent stellar nursery known as the Carina Nebula, which lies 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation of Carina.

This color-composite image of the Carina Nebula, captured by the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope, reveals intricate details of stars and dust, with the open star cluster Trumpler 14 marked in red.
