The Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16, is located about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens. It is a well-known stellar nursery with vast swaths of cosmic dust and gas ...
NASA has released a stunning 3D video showing what it would look like to fly through the famous ‘Pillars of Creation’ nebula. The very first images of the nebula, located around 6,500 l… ...
The newly-forming stars from the Eagle Nebula, the area brimming with gas and dust, were first captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope back in 1995, but the latest images have put the pillars on ...
The Eagle Nebula (M16) hatched from a star that exploded some 5.5 million years ago. Since then, it has evolved into a productive region of star formation, giving birth to more than 8,000 new stars.
The Hubble Space Telescope has re-imaged the Eagle Nebula — which it first viewed in 2005 on its 15th anniversary — using new processing techniques to mark 35 years of observations.
The Eagle Nebula is just one of several celestial targets Hubble is revisiting for its 35th anniversary. By capturing different angles and using data differently, the telescope is able to produce ...
ESA/Hubble & NASA, K. Noll “The heart of the nebula, which is located beyond the edge of this image, is home to a cluster of young stars,” Hubble scientists explain.
