Colorful Clouds Of Carina
The Carina Nebula, 8000 light-years away, is a region of tumultuous clouds and intense star formation. This close-up from the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 shows dramatic dark dust knots and complex features. These structures are sculpted by the powerful winds and radiation from Carina's massive, energetic stars.
