earlier this year. But, when combined together, the two captures give us the most detailed image of the Pillars of Creation ever taken.The image truly is something else entirely. The long tendrils of gas and star debris that make up the pillars themselves look exquisite and haunting alongside the bright stars of the background, as well as those that pockmark the pillars themselves.
The Pillars of Creation are part of the Eagle Nebula, a region of space just 6,500 to 7,000 light-years away from Earth. The Pillars themselves were first photographed by Hubble back in 1995, making them one of the most iconic images of a stellar entity in the past few decades. Now, though, with this new image, we’re finally seeing the most detailed view that we’ve ever captured., which showed us parts of the universe in vivid color and detail that we hadn’t seen before.
