This image of the Carina nebula reveals the dynamic cloud of interstellar matter and thinly spread gas and dust. The massive stars in the interior of this cosmic bubble emit intense radiation that causes the surrounding gas to glow. By contrast, other regions of the nebula contain dark pillars of dust cloaking newborn stars.
