Behold the great vanishing blobs of the Carina Nebula [Space Porn]
Just like when storm clouds are swept away to let the Sun shine through, the dark molecular clouds that once engulfed the Carina Nebula are now evaporating, with these little brown blobs the last remnants of once mighty cosmic formations. More »
Carina Nebula seen in a new light
Astronomers have obtained spectacular new images of the Carina Nebula, one of the most colorful objects in our skies. The most remarkable thing about these images is that they were taken using infrared so the object can be seen in a completely new light. And quite literally so, since infrared radiation has the same property as light.
Spotlight on Carina Nebula stellar nursery
Astronomers have obtained the most detailed – and dramatic - infrared image of the Carina Nebula stellar nursery taken so far. Many previously hidden features have emerged.
Carina Nebula revealed in spectacular new infrared photos
The Carina Nebula — that bright, diffuse and luminous star formation in the southern skies — has been revealed in greater detail than ever before in new infrared photos from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Read full article...
This eye-popping mosaic takes us inside the beautiful Carina Nebula [Space Porn]
