NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope combined the capabilities of the telescope’s two cameras to create a view of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula

---

Called the Cosmic Cliffs, the region is actually the edge of a gigantic, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, roughly 7,600 light-years away. The cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located in the center of the bubble, above the area shown in this image.
