The constellation Carina, located in the southern sky, is part of the larger ancient constellation Argo Navis, representing Jason’s ship from Greek mythology. It contains some of the sky’s brightest stars and notable features like the Great Carina Nebula, a massive cloud of gas and dust where new stars are born.
