Description

NGC 3324, within the famous Carina Nebula. Carina Nebula is one of the brightest and largest complex areas of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina. It is located in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm of the Milkyway Galaxy and is approximately 8,500 light-years from Earth. A part of the Carina Nebula, NGC 3324, is an open star cluster closely associated with an emission nebula where new stars are born. The stellar winds from these newly born extremely energetic stars ionize the atoms around and make them glow in different colors. The stellar winds also create the rim-like region in the western section of the nebula where the Hubble Space Telescope is observed in detail, the same section was one of the 1st observations of the James Webb Telescope for comparison.
