Good Red Friday morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "South of Carina." Here we have a perfect example of why I started following this page many years ago...you never know what treasure will be unveiled next. This image was captured in General Pacheco, Argentina, a city outside of Buenos Aires. The Carina Nebula is one of the largest star forming regions in our Milky Way galaxy, and this area lies just south and east of the star Eta Carinae. The colors are from the familiar Hubble palette, highlighted so the human eye can see emissions from ionized sulfur (red), hydrogen (green), and oxygen (blue) that are present. This portion of the Carina Nebula is approximately 80 light years wide and lies roughly 7.500 light years away from Earth.

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Friday, May 22, 2020 entitled "South of Carina."

This is a wonderful colorized image of a magnificent segment of God's creation in the heavens.
APOD background "Explanation: With natal dust clouds in silhouette against glowing atomic gas, this colorful and chaotic vista lies within one of the largest star forming regions in the Milky Way galaxy, the Great Carina Nebula. The telescopic close-up frames a field of view about 80 light-years across, a little south and east of Eta Carinae, the nebula's most energetic and enigmatic star. Captured under suburban skies improved during national restrictions, a composite of narrowband image data was used to create the final image. In it, characteristic emission from the nebula's ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms is mapped to red, green, and blue hues, a color palette also popular in Hubble Space Telescope images. The celestial landscape of bright ridges of emission bordered by cool, obscuring dust lies about 7,500 light-years away toward the southern constellation Carina."
For a play on words :-)
