NASA Webb Telescope Unveils Soul-Haunting New ‘Pillars of Creation’ View.
Few things encapsulate the wonders of space like the epic Pillars of Creation, a set of gorgeous finger-like tendrils of gas and dust where stars are formed.
On Wednesday, NASA and the European Space Agency revealed another fresh look at the pillars from the sharp eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope.
Enlarge for the full glory.
A new composite image shows a combined view of the Pillars of Creation as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam and MIRI instruments in infrared.
The pillars are a small but scenic part of the Eagle Nebula.
They rose to prominence thanks to an eye-catching view captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995.
Webb’s ability to see with its infrared eyes has given us a new way of experiencing and understanding the haunting formation.
