South Of Carina Nebula
With natal dust clouds in silhouette against glowing atomic gas, this colorful and chaotic vista lies within one of the largest star forming regions in the Milky Way galaxy, the Great Carina Nebula. The telescopic close-up frames a field of view about 80 light-years across, a little south and east of Eta Carinae, the nebula's most energetic and enigmatic star. Captured under suburban skies improved during national restrictions, a composite of narrowband image data was used to create the final image. In it, characteristic emission from the nebula's ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms is mapped to red, green and blue hues, a color palette also popular in Hubble Space Telescope. The celestial landscape of bright ridges of emission bordered by cool, obscuring dust lies about 7,500 light-years away toward the southern constellation Carina.

This is Rosette Nebula — which got its nickname from its close resemblance to a flower in bloom. It's the Perseus Arm of the galaxy, about a 130 light-years-wide nebula that hosts a club of more than 10,000 young stars.
