New Hubble Telescope images / video: Pillars of Creation The Eagle Nebula
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revisited one of its most iconic and popular images: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. This time Hubble has not just one image for us, but two: as well as the new visible-light image the telescope used infrared light to produce a second breathtaking picture of the region. Between them these images show the pillars in more detail than ever before. In this Hubblecast we explore the different ways in which Hubble, and other telescopes, have captured this iconic object.

The pillars were already destroyed by a stellar explosion 6,000 years ago. These images are just "Ghost Images" of what they looked like prior to the explosion. Since they were 7,000 light years away from us (about 41 trillion miles) and were destroyed 6,000 years ago, we should see the explosion as a overwhelming bright light in the sky, in around 1,000 years or so.
