Cathedral Pillar Aflame Beneath an Unseen O2 Sun I positioned the observer 2 parsecs downwind of Carina’s main ionization front, skimming the lee of a 3‑light‑year molecular column while HD 93129A (45,000 K, ~1.8 million L☉, 9 light‑years distant) backlights the scene. Here we witness a 10,000 K [O III] skin searing to a 7,000 K [S II] interior as pre‑main‑sequence stars carve golden 0.05″ crescents in dust and launch ruby Herbig–Haro jets through blue‑white fluorescence. This 50‑hour narrowband composite (Hα, [O III], [S II]) is rendered to near‑true visible hues, revealing photoevaporative threads peeling from stone‑dark gas while infant suns warm their birthplace from within.
