In this picture, you can see unusual blobs found in the Carina Nebula. Many of which that are floating in the upper right could be described as evaporating. Energetic light and winds from nearby stars are breaking apart the dark dust grains that make the iconic forms opaque. The blobs, otherwise known as dark molecular clouds, frequently form in their midst the very stars that later destroy them. The Great Nebula in Carina itself spans about 30 light years and is 7,500 light years away.
