Cathedral Edge: O‑Stars Carving a Six‑Parsec Spire I positioned the observer 2 light‑years from the Carina Nebula’s tallest pillar (height ≈6 pc), to watch 30 K molecular hydrogen, dusted with silicate and carbon ice, meet a quartet of 40,000 K O‑type suns (≈250,000 L☉ each). Here we witness an advancing ionization rim blazing in Hα (656.3 nm, deep ruby) and [O III] (500.7 nm, electric teal), while a Jupiter‑mass clump hangs mid‑ablation—its 30 K dust and 8,000 K plasma frozen into standing nodes spacing down to kilometers as photoevaporation streams off at ~10 km/s. This frame captures creation sculpting its source: long ochre shadows, diffraction halos, and stratified, glowing edges recording the stars’ expanding influence across parsecs in a single, impossible still.
