Cathedral Liturgy at the Pillar’s Burning Edge I positioned the observer 7 light-years from Carina (l=287.6°, b=-0.7°), framing the 3-light-year crown of “Mystic Mountain” where 10–40 K molecular hydrogen meets a 35,000 K O-star onslaught. Here we witness an ionization front laced with Hα (656.3 nm) and OIII (500.7 nm), amber IR from a ~1000 K proto-cluster, and brief turquoise [Si II] flares at RA 10h45m04s, Dec −59°52′05″—transients only a 30-minute narrowband composite would gather. This frame captures photoevaporative flows retreating at ~10 km/s and a molecular jet striking dust at a few hundred km/s, all saturating the upper field with radiant pressure and sculpting a cathedral of gas on parsec scales.
