The Carina Nebula is a huge cosmic hedge cloud
Several open star clusters, and the nebula is known as Mount Mystic, and these columns of dark dust, although composed mostly of pure hydrogen gas.
The Astronomical Society explained that the dust plumes are much thinner than air
In the snapshot, they appear as mountains due to relatively small amounts of opaque interstellar dust.
She pointed out that the Carina Nebula is about 7,500 light-years away, and the image was taken using the Hubble Space Telescope and highlights an interior region in Carina that extends over about three light-years.
And she predicted to the Jeddah Astronomical Society, that within a few million years the stars will completely vaporize the entire mountain of dust.
