A cosmic storm painted in every color of creation. Chromatic Carina Colorstorm reveals the southern sector of the Eta Carina Nebula, one of the Milky Way’s most energetic star-forming regions, about 7,500 light-years away.
Captured remotely using a 20-inch telescope at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, this image combines broadband and narrowband filters to expose the nebula’s vivid layers of hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur — glowing red, teal, and gold. The result is a radiant swirl of gas and dust where massive newborn stars carve the surrounding clouds with their stellar winds.
📸 Exposure details:
• Broadband (300 s): Red ×6, Green ×6, Blue ×6
• Narrowband (1800 s): Sulfur-II ×9, Hydrogen-Alpha ×21, Oxygen-III ×13
• Total exposure time: ≈ 22 hours of starlight
✨ Available sizes:
8″×10″, 11″×14″, 12″×12″, 16″×20″, 20″×30″, 24″×36″
Printed on high-gloss metal for exceptional depth, contrast, and color, each piece arrives ready to hang — a window into the stormy heart of a distant galaxy.
Bring a burst of cosmic color to your wall — proof that even in space, storms can be beautiful.
