NGC 3324 - The Gabriela Mistral Nebula
NGC 3324 is an open cluster in the southern constellation Carina, at a distance of 9100 light years from Earth. It is closely associated with the emission nebula IC 2599, also known as Gum 31. The two are often confused as a single object, and together have been nicknamed the "Gabriela Mistral Nebula" due to its resemblance to the Chilean poet.
