The stellar nursery called NGC3324 hangs more than 6,500 light-years away, in the northwestern corner of the Carina Nebula. There, the eruptions of young stars compress a surrounding veil of gas, birthing more stellar infants.
Our own sun likely started its life in a similar starry blaze.
Below and to the right lies the cobalt, ruby, and diamond-colored sparklers of the Gem Cluster, a collection of young stars further along in their cosmic lifetimes.
