A high-resolution, aperture–synthesis map of the Carina Nebula has been obtained with the Fleurs synthesis telescope operating at 1415 MHz. The peculiar variable star Eta Carinae has been detected as a radio source with a size slightly larger than that of the optical homunculus. Discussion of the association of the two main thermal radio sources, Car I and Car II, with the visible nebula is presented.
