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.

Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula, [4] [5] an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The James Webb telescope has captured an image of the Pillars of Creation that could reshape thinking about star formation. ... a star-forming nursery in the Eagle Nebula roughly 6,500 light-years ...
The Pillars of Creation are the most famous example of astronomic elephant trunks. NASA was able to produce a picture of this formation by compositing multiple images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is located 7,000 light-years away, in the Eagle Nebula. [8]
The spellbinding images show vast, towering columns of dense clouds of gas and dust where young stars are forming in a region of the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500 light ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has glimpsed the dark side of the usually ethereal Pillars of Creation, located 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula.
Imagine gazing up in the Sistine Chapel to a ceiling 6,500 light-years high.Astronomers have called this tiny section of the Eagle Nebula in the Milky Way (pictured above) the "Pillars of Creation."
English: This video clip shows a visualisation of the three-dimensional structure of the Pillars of Creation within the star formation region Messier 16 (also called the Eagle Nebula). It is based on new observations of the object using the MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile.
