Cathedral Pillar Carved by Ten O-type Suns I positioned the observer 4 light-years from Carina’s central forge, looking up the three–light-year Mystic Mountain as 10,000 K ionized shells bloom around newborn stars. Here we witness ten O-type suns (≈40,000–50,000 K blackbodies) overexposing the upper-right frame, their UV chiseling scallops while a knotted jet bites a crescent void and dust scatters warm apricot light. This frame captures the sacred tension of birth eroding its own walls — radiation pressure, shock fronts, and photoevaporation sculpting a cold pillar into a luminous nave at impossible proximity.
