NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope

A portion of the Carina Nebula released in 2010 for the twentieth anniversary of Hubble's launch. Newborn stars at the tip of a three-light-year pillar of gas and dust shoot jets out to either side, while the light of nearby stars slowly erodes the pillar. Its likeness to peaks and clouds gave it the name "Mystic Mountain".
