“NGC 3324 in Carina” is copyrighted by Martin Pugh. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 3324 is a star-forming region in the constellation Carina, sculpted by the winds and radiation from hot, young stars. This cosmic cloud spans about 35 light-years and lies some 7,500 light-years away. The image, a composite of narrowband data, captures emission from ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Dark dust clouds are silhouetted against the glowing gas.
