A ghostly feline shape emerges from the clouds of the Carina Nebula

Located approximately 7,500 light-years from Earth, this region of gas and dust resembles a cat sitting with its back toward us, its head turned to reveal a glowing eye. Intense ultraviolet radiation and powerful winds from nearby massive stars likely sculpted its unusual shape. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
