Carina Nebula Panorama from Hubble (4.05)

Carina's Great Nebula, NGC 3372, is very active. It is 300 light years long and about 7,500 light-years away. The most energetic star, Eta Carinae, was one of the brightest in the 1830s. The Keyhole Nebula is seen towards the left. This picture was taken by the Hubble and remains the most detailed.
