Dark Clouds of the Carina Nebula
The Carina Nebula can be found in the constellation of Carina, which is about 7,500 light years away, and it has a span of about 300 light years! It contains two of the most massive stars in the Milky Way galaxy- Eta Carinae and HD 93129A. I have now looked at and admired many different pictures of nebulae, but this one particularly stands out from the rest! The Carina Nebula has many dark clouds in it. These clouds are made up of such thick gas and dust that they actually become opaque, but yet they are still less dense than Earth's atmosphere.
