NASA shares incredible picture of nebula that shimmers like a fireworks display

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) often delights space enthusiasts by sharing stunning images of our cosmos. Recently, the American space agency released another mesmerising space photo on its official Instagram handle. Captured via NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the image is of an incredible nebula located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. This extraordinary image portrays a collection of stars that “shimmer like a fireworks display.”

NASA penned an exhaustive caption alongside this stunning image. “This collection of stars that shimmer like a fireworks display was captured by @nasahubble in August and December 2009. The nebula, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina, contains a central cluster of huge, hot stars, and is surrounded by clouds of interstellar gas and dust - the raw material for new star formation. Its relative closeness to Earth makes it an excellent lab for studying such distant and momentous events,” NASA wrote in the caption of the post.
