The most recent visualization of the Pillars of Creation was released by NASA in June 2024. [24] It is a 3D rendering created by images from both the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA described it as "the most comprehensive and detailed multiwavelength movie yet of this star-birthing region." [25]
Before Webb, images like these only came from the Hubble Space Telescope, which rocketed into Earth's orbit in 1990. But the JWST pictures reveal the rewards of the 25 years and $10 billion NASA ...
The new view of the pillars, first made famous when captured in 1995 by Webb's predecessor observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, was unveiled by NASA on Wednesday, three months after Webb's ...

The James Webb Space Telescope’s first images revealed new details of the cosmos, peering farther into space than the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble vs. Webb: See side-by-side comparisons of the ...
One of Hubble's most famous images, Pillars of Creation, shows stars forming in the Eagle Nebula. Since the start of the program, a number of research projects have been carried out, some of them almost solely with Hubble, others coordinated facilities such as Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESO's Very Large Telescope. Although the Hubble ...
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]
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.
