Zooming in on the Carina Nebula around the Wolf–Rayet star WR 22

This zoom sequence stars with a wide-field view of the spectacular southern Milky Way. It then closes in on the Carina Nebula and finishes with a detailed and colourful view of the region around the unusual hot massive young star WR 22, a member of the rare class of Wolf–Rayet stars.
