Carina Nebula is the 21st Interstellar Object, the 5th Nebula and the 1st Diffuse obtained in the Beyond (Rank 23), which can generate Stardust 
.
Description[]
"Carina Nebula isn’t a supernova remnant. It’s a supernova factory, aglow and abuzz with young, massively energetic stars and towering pillars of ionized gas and dust. This complex cloud is bigger than most and 15 times brighter than the famous Orion Nebula."
Traits[]
The rare traits matching this generators type are: Cosmic Dust . Carina Nebula is also affected by the epic traits: Cosmology , Dark Matter , Dark Energy . It is also affected by the constellations: Eridanus,Perseus,Serpens, as well as by the generator rank.

Eta Carinae | Reigning over Carina is an unstable blue hypergiant of 100 solar masses. Eta Carinae will go hypernova—bigger than a supernova!—and then what? If three or more solar masses remain, the matter will crunch past the neutron star threshold and collapse into a black hole. | Generator Unlocked |
|
Wolf-Rayet Stars | Carina boasts three rare Wolf-Rayets (WR), the hottest stars in the universe. Like Eta Carinae, WR 25 is millions of times brighter than the Sun and is part of the Trumpler 16 cluster of mammoth stars. They illuminate and ionize a dark nebula called a Bok globule. | Eta Carinae |
Astronomy Mission[]
Carina Nebula's Astronomy Mission is the Homunculus Nebula.
"From 1838 to 1845, Eta Carinae suddenly brightened. Then, after a century of dimness, a fresh glow revealed the Homunculus. This double-lobed outburst was not a supernova—there was no explosion. It was the belch of a massive star. The gassy cloud is still expanding."

Mass Cap | How massive can a star get? One barrier is the accretion limit, a threshold during star birth where bipolar jets blow more mass away than the protostar’s gravity attracts. Models suggest that the cap is about 150 solar masses. Eta Carinae may be close to that. | Carina Nebula Rank 3 |
|
Starburst | The dense starburst heart of the Tarantula Nebula is just 2 million years old—far too young for late-stage stars, let alone supernovae. A knot of eight stars called R136a includes three Wolf-Rayets and five baby blue giants. It’s like looking at Carina’s infancy. | Carina Nebula Rank 6 |
Trivia[]
Carina Nebula, or Eta Carinae Nebula (catalogued as NGC 3372; also known as the Great Carina Nebula), is a large, complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina, located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
