Stars Light and Bright
A pair of colossal stars, WR 25 and Tr16-244, are visible in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The stars are located within the Carina Nebula, an immense cauldron of gas and dust that lies approximately 7,500 light-years from Earth. WR 25 is the brightest, situated near the center of the image. The neighboring Tr16-244 is the third brightest, just to the upper left of WR 25. The second brightest, to the left of WR 25, is a low mass star located much closer to the Earth than the Carina Nebula. |
