The Hubble Space Telescope caught a scene made famous by the James Webb Space Telescope. The Carina-Sagittarius arm is a structure of dust and gas located in the vicinity of the Milky Way. Hubble snapped a picture of a small section of the famous nebula.
Hubble's image is more pastels than the image of Carina that was taken in theIR. Hubble's ability to see through the dust of the nebula was aided by its ability to see through the visible light of the telescope.
Hubble scientists say that the emission nebula is caused by the intense radiation from its stars. The gas is spread out over a large area and earned it the designation of a diffuse nebula. There are spurts of star formation in the sky with the death of stars. As stars form, their stellar winds scatter the gas and dust around them, sometimes forming dark, dusty cloaks and sometimes creating empty patches for the stars to become clearly visible.
This image was taken in 2010 and is similar to one taken in 2007. In order to bring out different parts of the scene like dust, gas, and stars, each image focuses on a different area of the nebula.
The nebula is vast, with many different areas showing off scientifically interesting regions like those that are busy with star formation.
