Description

Giant super massive stars torture the surrounding molecular cloud that is the Eta Carinae nebula. As new stars form and die they sculpt the surrounding nebula into areas of bright billowing clouds and dark caverns. The Eta Carinae nebula lies in the southern constellation of Carina at a distance of ~8,000 light-years. http://owlmountainobservatory.com/
