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.

The James Webb Space Telescope's sightseeing tour just provided a fresh look at one of the most recognizable interstellar ... a star-forming nursery in the Eagle Nebula roughly 6,500 light-years ...
The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745–46.
The WISE data reveals the entire structure of the nebula surrounding the pillars, which themselves can be seen as a faint yellow-green feature inside the white circle. While the WISE view of the "Pillars" is not as sharp as those taken by Webb and Hubble, the telescope's wide field of view allows us to explore the extended nebula around it.
In the spirit of the season, the agency recently released a new image of the Eagle Nebula captured by the James Webb Space Telescope where the Pillars of Creation look like a ghostly hand. By ...
James Webb was born in 1906 and lived in rural Granville County, on the northern border of North Carolina. His father was the superintendent of Granville County Schools. Webb attended UNC-Chapel Hill.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space , it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant , or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope . [ 9 ]
GS-NDG-9422 is a nebular dominated galaxy in the constellation Fornax that was discovered by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Scientists assume that the galaxy's light comes mostly from superheated gas (more than 80 000 degrees Celsius).
