Famously known, "Cosmic Cliffs" of the Carina Nebula, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, are not actual mountains but a vivid, textured region of interstellar dust and gas. Their appearance as towering cliffs is an illusion created by the dense clouds of gas and dust sculpted by stellar winds and radiation; a reminder that things are not always as what they appear to be.
