The iconic Pillars of Creation, famously photographed by Hubble in 1995, have been given a 3D makeover thanks to new data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This visualization highlights the differences in how the two telescopes capture the same object, showcasing the strengths of each in revealing different aspects of the universe.
NASA has released a mesmerizing 3D video of the Pillars of Creation, a star-forming region within the Eagle Nebula. Created using images from both the Hubble and Webb telescopes, the video allows viewers to experience these cosmic pillars in a new dimension.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released stunning images of the ‘Pillars of Creation’ in the Eagle Nebula, providing insights into the formation of stars. Captured in both visible light and near-infrared light, the images reveal new details of the pillars, which are made of cool molecular hydrogen and dust and are being eroded by the ultraviolet light of nearby hot stars. The images help scientists refine their understanding of how stars form in nebulae and provide a more precise count of the stars hidden within and beneath the pillars.
