Carina Nebula Pillar in Visible Light
Hubble observed this pillar of gas and dust in the Carina Nebula in visible light in 2009 using its newly installed Wide Field Camera 3. This image reveals stars that are hidden in the visible-light image. A jet of material can be seen streaming to the left and right from a young star in the center of the pillar.
