The Carina Nebula

A large, bright nebula located in the constellation Carina, about 7,500 light-years from Earth. The Carina Nebula is a giant stellar nursery, where new stars are born from gas and dust. Within it are several smaller nebulae and clusters of young stars, including the Homunculus Nebula, pillars of dust and gas like Mystic Mountain, and the dark Keyhole Nebula.
The nebula is also home to some of the most massive and luminous stars in the Milky Way galaxy, such as Eta Carinae and HD 93129A. Eta Carinae is one of the brightest stars known and underwent a major outburst in the 1830s, ejecting a cloud of gas and dust known as Homunculus.

I’ve had enough of staring at the rot. I’ve begged for this — to lift my eyes off the ground, off the engineered decay, off the endless grind of what’s broken. Just once, I wanted to look at something untouched by all of this. Something that doesn’t take, doesn’t scheme, doesn’t ask me to endure more. So here: a window out. The Carina Nebula. A vast stellar nursery 7,500 light-years away, where new suns are born in clouds of gas and dust, where even violence becomes beauty, where stars like Eta Carinae blaze so fiercely they reshape the space around them. It’s not here. It’s not of here. And tonight, that’s exactly what I need.
