Very interesting Raymo.

What does homunculus mean?

[raymo]

Hi Peter,
Homunculus means a very small human or humanoid, but here it is the
name of an area of nebulosity within the Eta Carina nebula. If you look back through these beginners' images you'll see another version of it that somebody posted recently. You can't miss it if you look at an image of
Eta Carina.
