      Description

      The famous NGC 3576 is an emission nebula located 9000 light-years away from Earth in the Carina constellation. 
      It is also called "The Statue of Liberty Nebula" because of the distinctive shape in the middle of the nebula. Within the nebula, episodes of star formation are thought to contribute to the complex and suggestive shapes. Powerful winds from the nebula's embedded, young, massive stars shape the looping filaments.
