The Hubble Space Telescope has taken over 1.5 million observations over the years. One of them is the incredible image of The Pillars of Creation.
The Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula, situated in the Serpens constellation, stand as celestial marvels. Composed of interstellar gas and dust, these towering structures captivate astronomers and stargazers alike. Shaped by the potent forces of stellar winds and radiation, the pillars, resembling cosmic sentinels, showcase vibrant hues. Functioning as crucibles for stellar birth, they facilitate the creation of new stars in a delicate dance of destruction and formation. The Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula offer a captivating spectacle, inviting observers to contemplate the profound dynamics at play within our ever-evolving cosmic tapestry.
In this video, Dr. Jennifer Wiseman explains this breathtaking image and how important Hubble is to exploring the mysteries of the universe.
