Dust?

With the snap above taken from reference 1. Apparently a fresh look at the Carina Nebula, a region of active star formation nearly 8,000 light-years from Earth. Complete with a warning from Microsoft Paint that saving it to jpg would involve a loss of transparency. I think all the brown stuff is a computer rendition of monster clouds of inter-stellar dust - so maybe not what you would see from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.

Whatever the case, not much like the image offered at the top reference 2, although this very image does get included a bit further down. And I learn that the nebula contains some star clusters which may be as little as half a million years old.

But maybe you have to be an astrophysicist to make more sense of it.
