Constellations. Starfield featuring (from left to right) the constellations of Centaurus, Crux Australis and Carina. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, passes through this area and is extremely rich in star clusters, dark and bright nebulae. Alpha Centauri (at bottom left) is the third-brightest visible star. The crucifix-shaped Southern Cross is defined by four bright stars. The pink Eta Carinae Nebula (NGC 3372, at right) is a gas cloud lit by the young stars within it & is character- ised by its dark dust lanes. The dark round area at lower centre is the Coal Sack Nebula. It is a cloud of interstellar gas which absorbs the radiation emitted by the stars in this area.
