See hams carved in deep space (5)
I believe the answer is:
chasm
'deep space' is the definition.
'chasm' can be an answer for 'space' (chasm is a kind of space). I am unsure of the 'deep' bit.
'see hams carved in' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'carved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'hams' is an anagram of 'hasm'.
'c' inserted within 'hasm' is 'CHASM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chasm that I've seen before include "Deep opening in the earth's surface" , "One gapes" , "rent" , "One yawns" , "Great divide" .)
