activity atop a pillar of gas and dust, three light-years high, absorbed by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. 

infant stars inside the pillar expulse jets of gas streaming from towering peaks.

Carina Nebula,  7500 light-years away, southern constellation of Carina

radiation and fast winds (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.
Nestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions from the pedestal at the top of the image. Another pair of jets is visible at another peak near the centre of the image. These jets are the signpost for new starbirth. The jets are launched by swirling discs around the stars, as these discs allow material to slowly accrete onto the stellar surfaces.

Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar on 1-2 February 2010. The colours in this composite image correspond to the glow of oxygen (blue), hydrogen and nitrogen (green) and sulphur (red).   20th anniversary of Hubble's launch and deployment into Earth orbit.

Deflecting light from the Big Bang

deflected by the gravitational lensing effect of massive cosmic structures
as they travel across the Universe.

Gravitational lensing creates tiny, additional distortions to the mottled pattern of the CMB temperature fluctuations. Planck cosmologists have extracted a map of this gravitational lensing effect covering the whole sky for the first time, providing a new way to probe the evolution of structure in the Universe over time.

Earth Image by Galileo Spacecraft 1990

Earth Image by Galileo Spacecraft   11.12.1990  NASA

Description: This color image of the Earth was obtained by the Galileo spacecraft at about 6:10 am PST. The color composite used images taken through the red, green and violet filters. South America is near the center of the picture, and the white, sunlit continent of Antarctica is below. Picturesque weather fronts are visible in the South Atlantic, lower right. This is the first frame of the Galileo Earth spin movie, a 500-frame time-lapse motion picture showing a 25-hour period of Earth's rotation and atmospheric dynamics.

Description: A color enhancement of an ultraviolet photograph of the geocorona, a halo of low density hydrogen around the Earth. Sunlight is shining from the left, and the geocorona is brighter on that side. The UV camera was operated by Astronaut John W. Young on the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission.
