In the News: Cool Carina Video

In the News:

"Cosmic ice sculptures: Dust pillars in the Carina Nebula"

Quote:
This image of dust pillars in the Carina Nebula is a composite of 2005 observations taken of the region in hydrogen light (light emitted by hydrogen atoms) along with 2010 observations taken in oxygen light (light emitted by oxygen atoms), both times with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys.
Very cool 3D video of stars and nebula layers combining 'scientific knowledge with artistic licence'. Great shots.

Cheers
