Astronomers have captured a broader view of a classic Hubble Space Telescope image, the iconic “Pillars of Creation”.
The wide-field image of the Eagle Nebula was taken at the National Science Foundation’s 0.9-meter telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. The astronomy team used the National Optical Astronomy Observatory Mosaic CCD camera to take the picture.
Located in the constellation of Serpens, the Serpent, the Eagle Nebula is a very luminous open cluster of stars surrounded by dust and gas. The Eagle Nebula, also called M16, is a classic star forming region, a place roughly 7,000 light-years from Earth where gas and dust are thought to feed the birth of new stars.
Several hot young stars born in the process now live just outside the Pillars, physically sculpting the colorful structures with intense ultraviolet light.
