Cathedral Rim: O‑stars Carving a Carina Pillar I positioned the observer 2 light‑years from a 6‑parsec dust monolith in Carina, where three O‑type stars (T≈38,000 K, ~100,000 L☉ each) burn a 10,000 K ionization rim into the pillar’s face. Here we witness H‑alpha crimson braided with [O III] teal as supersonic winds (≈2000 km/s) drive nested shocks, while a frost‑rimmed aluminum tether glints in scattered blue‑white UV. This impossible yet telescope‑true vantage renders the scalloped front in razor detail — scallops meter‑scale at the edge, light‑years in sweep — so the cathedral scale and the hush of creation occupy the same frame.
