Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Monday, February 8, 2021 entitled "WR32 and Interstellar Clouds in Carina."

Yet another wonderful image displaying a two-dimensional view of the glory of the heavens :-)
The description a "small cluster of stars, NGC 3324, have sculpted a 35 light year cavity on the upper right" gives a sense of the vast expanse of the heavens of God's creation. It will be breathtaking to see all of the heavens in the new heaven.

APOD Background
"Explanation: Stars can be like artists. With interstellar gas as a canvas, a massive and tumultuous Wolf-Rayet star has created the picturesque ruffled half-circular filaments called WR32, on the image left. Additionally, the winds and radiation from a small cluster of stars, NGC 3324, have sculpted a 35 light year cavity on the upper right, with its right side appearing as a recognizable face in profile. This region's popular name is the Gabriela Mistral Nebula for the famous Chilean poet. Together, these interstellar clouds lie about 8,000 light-years away in the Great Carina Nebula, a complex stellar neighborhood harboring numerous clouds of gas and dust rich with imagination inspiring shapes. The featured telescopic view captures these nebulae's characteristic emission from ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms mapped to the red, green, and blue hues of the popular Hubble Palette."
