The Pillars of Creation

These towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas sit at the heart of M16, or the Eagle Nebula. The aptly named Pillars of Creation, featured in the stunning Hubble image in the 90s, are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns.

Stretching roughly 4 to 5 light-years, the Pillars of Creation are a fascinating but relatively small feature of the entire Eagle Nebula, which spans 70 by 55 light-years. The nebula, discovered in 1745 by the Swiss astronomer Jean-Philippe Loys de Chéseaux, is located 7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens. With an apparent magnitude of 6, the Eagle Nebula can be spotted through a small telescope and is best viewed during July.

One of my favourite objects, the M8 Lagoon Nebula.
This region with a lot of H alpha gas contains an area where stars are born.
You can see some of them in the center of the purple/blue nebula.
The distance to planet Earth only 4000 lightyears, in astronomic terms just around the corner🤣
