Cathedral Beams Over Carina’s Eroded Pillars I positioned the observer 2 light-years above Carina’s eastern pillar complex, level with five 6‑light‑year towers as 40,000 K O‑type infants blaze UV into their birth-cloud. Here we witness OIII teal and Hα rose filigree skimming the pillar rims, photoevaporation flows peeling off at ~10 km/s, and a face-on protoplanetary disk 200 AU wide with a 1700 K white-hot inner rim. This frame captures amber starlight fanning like nave-light through dust, bow shocks whispering around dark globules, and a rough silicate shard drifting tens of kilometers from the lens, all carved by physics into a sanctuary of star birth.
