Is this the coolest picture so far?

The Carina Nebula, an enormous cloud of dust and gas 7,600 light years away, as well as the Southern Ring Nebula, which surrounds a dying star 2,000 light years away.

Carina Nebula is famous for its towering pillars that include “Mystic Mountain,” a three-light-year-tall cosmic pinnacle captured in an iconic image by Hubble.

I am always struck by how the macrocosm and the microcosm can seem similar. These kind of nebula and star pictures remind me of the appearance of the amniotic sac around a preborn child.
