BRENT: Hubble Space Telescope snapped a photo of the pillars of creation, NASA recently released a new image of an old friend.
The iconic telescope first captured this small section of M16, the Eagle Nebula, in 1995, revealing three towering pillars of gas courtesy of nascent stars. But despite their ethereal appearance, this is no gentle cradle of life.
In fact, the birth of stars in this area is so violent; atoms of gas are torn apart in a process called ionization. Charged particles and radiation whip into celestial winds so chaotic they blast away the tops of the pillars, as seen in the leftmost column. (See “Hubble Revisits an Icon, the Pillars of Creation.”)
