Description

The Carina Nebula is not a well-known nebula even though it is the largest one discovered by astronomers. It is four times larger and brighter that the well-known Orion Nebula and it contains both light and dark nebulas. The word nebula is Latin for cloud or fog and an interstellar nebula is a cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other gases.

Carina by the numbers:
• It was discovered the nebula in 1752.
• It is located about 8,500 light years from Earth.
• The nebula includes two smaller nebulas – the Homunculus Nebula and the Keyhole Nebula.
• It contains about 14,000 stars.
• Its diameter is about 460 light years, and it is so big, it can be seen without a telescope.
• It is four times larger than our Sun.

Speaking of outer space,
Riddle Me This…
Q: What’s a light-year?
A: The same as a regular year, but with less calories.

Consider This…
“Did you know that the center of a Protostar (the star in the middle of a nebula) is called a Nuclear Furnace? So, you can call that the star's "heart." The heart of a star is a furnace. Not much unlike the human heart.” ~ C. JoyBell C.
