Carina Nebula Star-Forming Pillars
One light-year tall star-forming pillars of cold hydrogen and dust located in the Carina Nebula. The result is from radiation from massive stars that is carving away at cold molecular clouds

NGC 3293, the Gem Cluster and Gabriela Mistral Nebula
NGC 3324 and 3293 are sparkling star clusters at the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula. NGC3293 is a small but very bright open cluster, called the Gem Cluster

Starfield centred on the Southern Cross
Splendid starfield centred on the constellation of the Southern Cross (Crux Australis). It shows an area of our galaxy, the Milky Way, extremely rich in star clusters, dark and bright (pink) nebulae
