NASA's James Webb captures star-forming dust pillar in Carina Nebula

Astronomers estimate cluster age at 1.3 million years with stellar details

2 Sep 17 · 6d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 2 of 2

The compact star cluster within the pillar is thought to be only around 1.3 million years old, with star formation actively excavating the pillar's head and shaping it through powerful stellar winds from neighboring systems like Eta Carinae, which is more luminous than 5 million suns.

“Astronomers estimate that there are about 70 stars in a compact cluster inside the pillar. This cluster is now thought to be only around 1.3 million years old.”
