This is NGC 3576!

Located 9000 light years away in the Eta Carinae Nebula, this nebula’s distinct shape has earned in the nickname “The Statue of Liberty Nebula”. Drifting through the Milky Way’s Sagittarius Arm, rampant star formation and ensuing stellar winds shape this beautiful collection of gas and dust!
