Cathedral Pillars Burn Under Adolescent Starlight I positioned the observer 2 light-years from Carina’s central nursery, framing Southern Pillars that rise ~3 light-years tall while an O-type cluster (dominated by WR 25 at ~50,000 K) pours ~10^6 solar luminosities across their sunward faces. Here we witness cusp-shaped photoevaporation flows (T≈10,000 K) streaming off the pillar tips in OIII teal and H-alpha crimson, chased by a 15,000 K shock ridge advancing like an incandescent arch. This frame captures newborn protostars in warm amber cocoons (100–300 K, revealed in F187N/F222M) puncturing the shadowed trunk—an impossible, head-on, cathedral-scale vantage no telescope could attain.
