## Caption

Our #HubbleTopImage features the Carina Nebula!⁠
⁠
This image highlights a small portion of the nebula, one of the largest observable regions of starbirth 👶⭐ in our Milky Way galaxy. Here, we see the top of one of a pillar of gas and dust, three light-years tall. It is being worn away by the scorching light of nearby stars, but also pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas. These can be seen streaming from the nebula’s peaks like arrows through the air 🏹⁠
⁠
It was released in April 2010 to celebrate 20 years since the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s launch!⁠
