(DESCRIPTION)
A large reddish orange nebula with wisps of purple and blue gas. A visible light indicator.
Text, Hubble image of pillars and jets in the Carina Nebula. Stars are forming within this pillar of gas and dust in the Carina Nebula.
An infrared light indicator. The nebula in infrared is mostly shades of gray. Many red and orange stars are now visible.
Text, Infrared light, which the Webb Telescope is designed to detect, penetrates that dust, allowing us to see through some of the cloud to the stars within.
