Region R37 in the Carina Nebula
This image was taken by the MUSE instrument, mounted on ESO’s Very Large Telescope and shows the region R37 within the Carina Nebula, 7500 light-years away. The massive stars within the star formation region slowly destroy the pillars of dust and gas from which they are born.
