NGC 3372

Also known as the Carina Nebula, is a prominent astronomical beauty located in the constellation Carina. This vast and intricate nebula spans approximately 300 light-years across, making it one of the largest diffuse objects in the night sky. Its immense size can be attributed to the intense stellar activity taking place within. NGC 3372 is home to numerous massive young stars that emit intense radiation, sculpting the surrounding nebulosity into magnificent structures.
