Carina Nebula - Happy Birthday Kaart

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A fantastic greetings card showing a panoramic view of the WR 22 and Eta Carinae regions of the Carina Nebula. This spectacular panoramic view combines a new image of the field around the Wolf-Rayet star WR 22 in the Carina Nebula (right) with an earlier picture of the region around the single star Eta Carinae in the heart of the nebula (left). The picture was created from images with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. It's a stunning, fantastic image that reveals a little of the vlieg that is our universe image code: crnneb ESO/J. Reproducced under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.
