Also nicknamed the Gabriela Mistral Nebula.
This bright cosmic cloud was sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from the hot young stars of open cluster NGC 3324.
With dust clouds in silhouette against its glowing atomic gas, the pocket-shaped star-forming region actually spans about 35 light-years.
It lies some 7,500 light-years away toward the nebula rich southern constellation Carina.(NASA)
