在这个星际怪物的内部是一颗正在慢慢摧毁它的恒星。这个巨大的怪物，实际上是一系列无生命的气体和尘埃柱，长度为光年。头部的恒星本身在不透明的星际尘埃中是看不见的，但部分是通过喷射出被称为赫比格-哈罗射流的高能粒子束而爆发的。位于船底座星云约7500光年远的地方，非正式地称为神秘山，这些柱子的外观主要由黑暗的尘埃组成，尽管它们主要由透明的氢气组成。这张特色图片是由哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的。在这些柱子上，来自新形成的大质量恒星的高能光和风正在蒸发并分散它们形成的尘埃恒星托儿所。在几百万年内，这颗巨行星的头部，以及它的大部分身体，将被内部和周围的恒星完全蒸发。

Inside the head of this interstellar monster is a star that is slowly destroying it. The huge monster, actually an inanimate series of pillars of gas and dust, measures light years in length. The in-head star is not itself visible through the opaque interstellar dust but is bursting out partly by ejecting opposing beams of energetic particles called Herbig-Haro jets. Located about 7,500 light years away in the Carina Nebula and known informally as Mystic Mountain, the appearance of these pillars is dominated by dark dust even though they are composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. The featured image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. All over these pillars, the energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dusty stellar nurseries in which they formed. Within a few million years, the head of this giant, as well as most of its body, will have been completely evaporated by internal and surrounding stars.
