   Here is a 2010 Hubble image of a part of one of the largest cloudy regions --- the Carina Nebula, where new stars are forming.  It is a magnificent creation within our Milky Way galaxy.

   We see towers of cool, hydrogen and dust rising from the wall of the nebula below.  Captured in this image, you see the top of a pillar that is approx. three-light-years tall.
 
   You can see the dust being slowly eaten away by hungry nearby stars, and from within by early, infant stars deep inside the dark clouds.  (Image credit:  NASA, ESA, and M. Livio and the Hubble 20th Anniversary Team [STScl].)

Another wonderful example of the beauty of our Universe.
