      Explanation: To some, it may look like a beehive. In reality, the   
      featured image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a cosmic pillar   
      of dust, over two-light years long, inside of which is Herbig-Haro 666   
      -- a young star emitting powerful jets. The structure lies within one   
      of our galaxy's largest star forming regions, the Carina Nebula,   
      shining in southern skies at a distance of about 7,500 light-years. The   
      pillar's layered outline are shaped by the winds and radiation of   
      Carina's young, hot, massive stars, some of which are still forming   
      inside the nebula. A dust-penetrating view in infrared light better   
      shows the two, narrow, energetic jets blasting outward from a still   
      hidden infant star.
