The Mystic Mountain is a 3-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust located in the Carina Nebula, about 7,500–8,000 light-years from Earth. Shaped by intense stellar winds and ultraviolet radiation from nearby massive stars like Eta Carinae, it is an active site of star formation, housing young stars and protostars within its dense clouds. Made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope, Mystic Mountain showcases stellar jets and dynamic interactions, providing insight into the processes of star birth and the impact of massive stars on their surrounding environment.
