1. Homunculus NebulaThe Homunculus Nebula is an emission nebula surrounding the massive star system Eta Carinae. The nebula is embedded within a much larger ionized hydrogen (H II) region, the Eta Carinae Nebula. The Homunculus (from the Latin meaning Little Man) is believed to have been ejected in an enormous outburst from Eta Carinae. Light from this event reached Earth in 1841, creating a brightening event in the night sky which was visible from the Earth's surface at the time.
