Galactic Nebulae NGC 3576 and NGC 3603: East of the splendid Eta Carinae Nebula lie several very interesting starbirth regions, not so often imaged. Left of center are two emission nebulae:NGC 3603 (upper left) and NGC 3576.Although in different distances to us both nebulae are part of very active starbirth regions. This is evident by the generation of emission nebulae and shock fronts through the immense radiation of young stars. NGC 2603 is one of the most intense star nurseries known, with white giants, so called Wolf-Rayet stars, at its center.
