Description

V341 Carinae is a bright red giant star in the constellation Carina. It is surrounded by a prominent reflection nebula,[10][9] known as IC 2220, nicknamed the Toby Jug Nebula.

HD 65750 is located about 900 light years away, and has an apparent magnitude that varies between 6.2 and 7.1 and a metallicity just 40% of the Sun. It is part of the Diamond Cluster moving group.

The nebulae is a mystery as the variations in nebulae brightness appear to be unrelated to the host star.[12] One theory is that rather than being an accreting protoplanetary disk the star may be an evolved star that is losing material.
