Space Time
Also known as Eta Carinae Homunculus, η Carinae Homunculus.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Homunculus Nebula is placed at J2000 RA 10.8 h, Dec -59.7° in Carina, at an adopted distance of 7,500 light-years.
Homunculus Nebula (eruptive bipolar nebula; central source Eta Carinae, unresolved massive binary): measured length 1 light-years; ejected mass at least 10 solar masses; expansion more than 580 km/s (Great Eruption ejecta); outer radius used for arrival 0.5 light-years.
The close shell is NASA’s published VLT/X-Shooter velocity-mapped 3D mesh, scaled to the observed roughly one-light-year length and oriented to the measured bipolar axis. Color, translucency, and unresolved central-source glow are presentation choices.
