The Pillars of Creation as captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope look like arches and spires and are filled with semi-transparent gas and dust. This is a region where young stars are forming.

The pillars are a small region within the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth. [Image Description: Two images of the Pillars of Creation, a star-forming region in ...

The pillars are part of a small region of the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth. The colors in the image highlight emission from several chemical elements.

The James Webb Space Telescope has glimpsed the dark side of the usually ethereal Pillars of Creation, located 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula.

The beautiful pillars, which are located 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula, look rather sinister in this wavelength as James Webb scientists explain: “Why does mid-infrared light set ...

Comparing the newest James Webb image of the Pillars of Creation to an image taken by Hubble back in 1995 is also a great way to see how far our imaging technology has come. Hubble, which has been ...

In Webb’s mid-infrared image of the pillars, for example, very few stars are visible, while the near-infrared can’t penetrate the deep layers of dust to show such detail.

The previous photo of these pillars, taken in 1995, went on to stand out from all the rest of NASA's space images, the agency said. "The Hubble image is so popular that it has appeared in movies ...

NASA released a stunning image of the Eagle Nebula's Pillars of Creation this week. The newly revisited picture, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the pillars in infrared light. That type ...

And now we have the Pillars of Creation —arguably the most famous image taken by Webb's predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, in 1995. (Chances are, someone you know has a T-shirt or coffee ...

The new image, taken by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument, or MIRI, captures more detail about the dust and structure of the pillars.

CNN — The James Webb Space Telescope has glimpsed the dark side of the usually ethereal Pillars of Creation, located 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula. Last week, the space observatory ...
