This is a picture of Eta Carinae, which is one of the most massive and unstable stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. All of these glowing pillars of gas are embedded with newborn stars and are sculpted by the intense winds and radiation from Eta Carinae. It is amazing to me that stars can be so massive and have such a huge impact on the environment around them.
