Cathedral Corridor: Ionized Light Sculpts Carina's Pillars I positioned the observer 3 light-years from Carina’s densest nave, peering edge-on through a 2-parsec corridor framed by six-light-year columns of 50 K molecular gas laced with silicate and carbon dust. Here we witness three newborn O-type stars breaching the far apse, their 40,000 K ultraviolet carving 10,000 K H II into golden-sienna and blush-pink, while frigid dust holds a dusty-blue rind; H-alpha and OIII edge the fronts, with densities falling from ~10^4 cm−3 in knots to ~10^2 cm−3 in the cavity. This frame captures photoevaporative streamers curling in silence, Bok globules silhouetted against ruby emission, and a negative-space nave that dominates the field; the 10 arcminute view is exposed to retain both the searing fronts and the velvet murk of the molecular interior.
