Cathedral Skin at Carina’s Pillar Base I positioned the observer 5 light-years from the Carina Nebula’s densest nursery, looking horizontally across a 1-parsec pillar whose 25K molecular core stands as a charcoal silhouette. Here we witness 35,000K O-type protostars (≈200,000 L☉) etching golden H-alpha ionization fronts while OIII-lit teal filaments stream upward, a temperature gradient rising from 25K to ~10,000K along the interface. This impossible vantage threads the camera through the base nave across a 2-parsec field of view, revealing blue-white shafts and sculpted ridges that no telescope could frame at once, yet rendered with telescope-grade emission detail and diffraction spikes.
