This view shows the constellations of Carina (The Keel) and Vela (The Sails). The bright orange star in the upper left is Suhail in Vela, while the similarly orange star in the upper middle is Avior, in Carina. Of the three bright blue stars that form an “L” near these stars, the left two belong to Vela, and the right one to Carina. (Image credit: ESO/B. Tafreshi/TWAN)
