Carina Nebula
NGC 3372
One of the largest diffuse nebulae in the sky, containing the eruptive massive star η Carinae.
Why it matters at 0.75–5 µm
Strong PAH emission at 3.3 µm outlines photodissociation regions across the complex.

Builds a 4-epoch × 102-channel input from real SPHEREx L2 exposures here (64×64 at 6.15″/px), then runs the ONNX model in your browser to pick the best viewing channels and score anomalies and motion. The first run at a position takes 1–2 minutes.
