Carina Nebula Medium:Canvas astronomers used the picture toCreated from gas and dust, the pictured structure resides in a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7500 light years away in the southern constellation of Carina. Taken in visible light, the image shows the tip of the three light year long pillar, bathed in the glow of light from hot, massive stars off the top of the image. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from these stars are sculpting the
