Tour the Pillars of Creation! Incredible NASA video travels through trunks of interstellar gas and dust in a nebula 6,500 light-years away

If you ever wanted to take a walk to deep space, this could be as close as you ever get. The pillars of creation are part of the Eagle Nebula, a structure just under 7000 light years from Earth – first observed by the Hubble Space Tesco in 1985. ‹ Slide me › This animation has been created by combining observations from the James Webb Space Telescope which takes images in the infrared spectrum with those visible light spectrum images from the Hubble Telescope However, this latest animation combines photographs taken by Hubble with the latest observations from the JWST. The Pillars of Creation 6,500 light years from us are in a regional space known as the Eagle Nebula Thanks to the 3D animation, viewers can see that the pillars are not flat but are actually arranged throughout a large regional space While the interior of these structures is hidden in the visible light spectrum, infrared light pierces through the thick dust. the visible light spectrum shows clearly the clouds of dust and cool molecular hydrogen which makes up the Pillars of Creation Infrared images allow scientists to look within the dust clouds to see Protostars in the early stages of formation In one of the pillars, we can see a brand new star ejecting a plume of material into space while in the largest pillar a 'protostar' can be seen.
