NGC 2867, C90 // Paulo Cacella
NGC 2867 is a planetary nebula about 7,270 light years away in the constellation of Carina, the Keel. This planetary nebula was formed in the late stages of the evolution of a Sun-like star. After having steadily produced energy for several billion years through hydrogen fusion, the star underwent a series of energy crises when its supply of hydrogen began to run low. Gravity took over in these crises and caused the star's core to contract. That extra pressure allowed the star to produced a heavier element, carbon, in its core.
When astronomers look at the light of NGC 2867, they find the presence of carbon here. This carbon must have been produced in the star's core and ejected when it became a planetary nebula.
