NASA has released a 3D visualization of the Carina Nebula, known as the Cosmic Cliffs, featuring data from multiple space telescopes.
The visualization showcases the nebula in different wavelengths of light, from visible light to X-ray to infrared, exploring the intricate structures of dust and gas within.
Stars within the Carina Nebula contribute to its unique shape by emitting stellar winds that sculpt the surrounding material, leading to the formation of new stars.
The region of the nebula referred to as the Cliffs, technically called Gum 31, exhibits cliff-like formations carved out by stars in the NGC 3324 cluster.
