Summary

The Josh Universe - Space Discord Server announced a new post revealing the Hubble image of the Mystic Mountain Nebula, located in the Carina Nebula 7500 light-years away. This image commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's launch and deployment. The nebula is a turbulent stellar nursery where newborn stars are shaping a cosmic pillar that is actively resisting erosion from radiation.

This is the Mystic Mountain Nebula. This turbulent cosmic pinnacle lies within a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7500 light-years away in the southern constellation of Carina. The image marks the 20th anniversary of Hubble's launch and deployment into Earth's orbit.

Streams of charged particles from hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionised gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its peaks. The pillar is resisting being eroded by radiation.
