Mystic Mountain Dust Pillars
In the Carina Nebula (Mystic Mountain) and the stars are battle dust and are winning. Energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating/dispersing dusty stellar nurseries where they were formed. These pillar's are composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. The Hubble Space Telescope took this image that is about 7,500 light-years distant and displays the interior region of Carina which spans about 3 light years. Within a few million years, the entire dust mountain will be destroyed.
