This video clip shows a visualization of the three-dimensional structure of the Pillars of Creation. Closer view of one pillar. Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years (2,000–2,100 pc; 61–66 Em) from Earth.

English: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared view of the Pillars of Creation strikes a chilling tone. Thousands of stars that exist in this region disappear – and seemingly endless layers of gas and dust become the centerpiece.
The James Webb telescope has captured an image of the Pillars of Creation that could reshape thinking about star ... a star-forming nursery in the Eagle Nebula roughly 6,500 light-years away.
A more slowly moving, theorized, shock wave would have taken a few thousand years to move through the nebula and would have blown away the delicate pillars. However, in 2014 the pillars were imaged a second time by Hubble, in both visible light and infrared light. The images being 20 years later provided a new, detailed account of the rate of ...
Hubble took the first photo of the Pillars of Creation in 1995. Decades later, Webb captured its clouds of gas and dust in even more detail.
