Alien planet and Carina Nebula. Computer illustration of the extrasolar planet TR-16 (upper centre), with the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) and the Trumpler 16 star cluster (lower centre) in the background. The Carina Nebula is a region of massive star formation that lies around 7500 light years from Earth. Trumpler 16 is a massive open cluster that is home to some of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way, including WR 25 (seen here).
