Stars form in large clouds of gas and dust called nebulae that scatter the visible wavelengths of light our eyes can see. The longer wavelengths of infrared light can pass through the cloud relatively undisturbed. Hubble’s near-infrared capabilities and high resolving power make it an important tool in the study of how stars form. Dubbed “Mystic Mountain,” this is a region of the much more extensive Carina Nebula. In it, towers of cool hydrogen gas laced with dust are seen to rise along the nebula’s wall. At the top, a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust is being eaten away by the brilliant light and winds from nearby stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming left and right from the tips of the peaks. NASA, ESA, and M.

Lombard Street, famous for its eight sharp turns, is a top San Francisco attraction. From June to August, it’s lined with vibrant hydrangeas, creating a magical atmosphere. Visitors can stroll along, enjoy the flowers, and admire the historic mansions, making it a popular spot for photos

A rainy day in San Francisco
After the storm, the air is no longer filled with the smell of 🍃, it is fresh and clean. I stand on a high place and stare at the street in a trance. San Francisco in the fog and rain is its most beautiful appearance.
