Birth of stars in the nebula NGC 3372 - Star formation in the Carina Nebula...

IMAGE number
PIX4619096
Image title
Birth of stars in the nebula NGC 3372 - Star formation in the Carina Nebula - Detail of the nebula of the Carene seen in infrared by the Hubble space telescope. The image reveals in the center of the image a young star accompanied by a jet of material. NGC 3372 is located about 7000 light years away from Earth. Image obtained in July 2009. Composed of gas and dust, the pictured pillar resides in a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7500 light - years away in the southern constellation of Carina. Taken in infrared light, the image shows the dense column and the surrounding greenish - coloured gas all but disappear. Only a faint outline of the pillar remains. By penetrating the wall of gas and dust, the infrared vision of WFC3 reveals the infant star that is probably blasting the jet. Part of the jet nearest the star is more prominent in this view. These features can be seen because infrared light, unlike visible light, can pass through the dust. Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 observed the Carina Nebula on 24 - 30 July 2009. WFC3 was installed aboard Hubble in May 2009 during Servicing Mission 4
