Mountains of Dust in the Carina Nebula
It's stars versus dust in the Carina Nebula, and the stars are winning. The energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dusty stellar nurseries in which they formed. Located in the Carina Nebula and known informally as Mystic Mountain, these pillars appear dominated by dark dust, even though they are composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. Dust pillars like these are actually much thinner than air.
