| Expected & Detected Located a mere 7,500 light years from Earth, the Carina Nebula has long been a favorite target for astronomers. Chandra's ultrasharp X-ray vision has found over 14,000 young stars in Carina, improving the census of young stars in this region. Chandra also revealed a diffuse X-ray glow, seen less clearly before, which likely comes from both the winds of massive stars and the remains of stars that have exploded as supernovas. |
