#HH903
JWST image of the Cat's Head Nebula in the Carina Nebula: a sinuous, opaque pillar of reddish-orange dust and gas winds across the frame against a deep blue starfield. Embedded in the dark pillar is HH 903, a protostellar outflow, appearing as a compact bright feature near the pillar's end. Diffuse cyan nebulosity and numerous bright stars, some with prominent diffraction spikes, fill the surrounding sky. NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/Jackie Branc, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
