Eagle Nebula pillars of creation, NASA

The "Pillars of Creation" is an iconic image captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, depicting towering columns within the Eagle Nebula (M16). These pillars are vast clouds of interstellar gas and dust stretching over 4-5 light-years long. The structures are a region of active star formation where the intense radiation from young, massive stars erodes the surrounding denser areas, leading to the pillar-like shapes. Over time, the denser regions can collapse under gravity, birthing new stars and planetary systems. This stunning imagery not only showcases the beauty of the cosmos but also provides insights into the processes of star creation.
