NGC 3603

NGC 3603 is a giant star-forming region in the Carina arm of the Milky Way about 20,000 ly away. Thousands of young stars are nestled within this giant nebula and form one of the most massive star clusters in the galaxy.
To me the nebula has an amazing similarity to the outline of Africa!
