This is a picture of unusual blobs found in the Carina Nebula. Energetic light and winds from nearby stars are breaking apart the dark dust grains that make the iconic forms opaque. Ironically the blobs, otherwise known as dark molecular clouds, frequently create in their midst the very stars that later destroy them. This picture was taken by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and span a couple of light months.
