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.

Duncan was the first to note the expansion of the Crab Nebula and from that determine the approximate year of its creation, discovered variable stars in what were soon found to be distant galaxies, and describe the nebular structures now known as the Pillars of Creation.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a fresh view of the Pillars of Creation, a star-forming region that has become a famed celestial sight.
Hubble first imaged the Pillars of Creation in 1995 (see below), but the technology at the time revealed only a fraction of the stars in the region. The 2014 re-do provided considerably more ...
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.
The Pillars of Creation became famous in 1995 after the Hubble Space Telescope captured images of the towering clouds of cosmic dust and gas located 6,500 light-years away from Earth. Nearly three ...
