Self Destruction of Massive Stars in Carina Nebula :Seen Fom The Eye of Chandra

This Chandra image shows the Carina Nebula, a star-forming region in the Sagittarius-Carina arm of the Milky Way, 7,500 light years from Earth. Chandra’s sharp X-ray vision has detected over 14,000 stars in this region, revealed a diffuse X-ray glow, and provided strong evidence that massive stars have already self-destructed in this nearby supernova factory.
