Bem-vindos a Carina Nebula. This false-color image taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and released May 31, 2005 shows the 'South Pillar' region of the Carina Nebula. The infrared telescope 'busted open' this murky cloud to reveal star embryos (yellow or white) tucked inside finger-like pillars of thick dust (pink). Hot gases are green and foreground stars are blue. Not all of the newfound star embryos can be easily spotted. The downward-streaming rays (top) hint at its presence Eta Carinae, which is too bright to be observed by infrared telescopes. Ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from Eta Carinae and its siblings have shredded the cloud to pieces, leaving a mess of tendrils and pillars. This shredding process triggered the birth of the new stars uncovered by Spitzer. REUTERS/NASA
