Sunflower Anatomy Carved Into a Carina Pillar I positioned the observer 0.15 parsec from a 2‑light‑year column of 40 K molecular hydrogen whose radial ribs echo a sunflower stem’s vascular bundles. Here we witness B‑type protostars (effective temperature 19,000–25,000 K; luminosities 1,000–10,000 Lsun) photoevaporating the pillar, driving ~10,000 K H II outflows at about 40 km/s; H-alpha (656 nm, mapped green) and [O III] (500.7 nm, mapped blue) lace the fractures, while [S II] (672 nm) rims burn sulfur‑red in SHO mapping. This frame captures a 60‑minute narrowband exposure (field of view ~4 light‑years) where blue‑white shafts sculpt the edges into a quiet cathedral aureole and faint infrared embryos reveal themselves as soft amber points near 60 microns.
