Cathedral Shock: Infant Suns Consecrate Their Stone of Dust I positioned the observer 7 light-years from Carina’s central pillars, framing a 3 light‑year swath along their flanks while spires rise to 4 parsecs beyond the frame. Here we witness O‑type infants (T≈35,000 K, L≈1×10^5 L☉ each) drilling ultraviolet into 20 K molecular stone, their radiation driving ionization fronts (Hα ≈15,000 K magenta, [O III] ≈9,000 K teal) and ablation flows peeling away at 10–20 km/s. This frame captures rippling shock arcs compressing and dispersing the same gas, light‑echo veils that fold two epochs into one sightline, and proplyd silhouettes glimmering in backscatter against an inky void punctuated by a few amber protostars.
