The Eta Carinae Emission Nebula - wide angle shot

NGC 3372, better known as the Eta Carinae Emission Nebula. The Nebula
is more than 200 ly across and its brilliant appearance is caused by
intense ultraviolet radiation from many, very young, hot, and massive
stars. Some of these have a surface temperatures 10 times than of the
Sun and masses up to 100 times greater than the Sun.
