A stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of a light-year-long pillar of gas and dust in the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) being eroded by a hidden star's energetic particle beams. Pink dots represent newly formed stars escaping their birth "monster." This shows Herbig-Haro objects, stellar jets created by an accretion disk around a young star.
