An infrared image of a star-forming region within W5 (IC 1848), showing towering, dusty pillars against a glowing cosmic background. The pillars appear as dense, reddish-brown structures illuminated by surrounding younger stars. These pillars are slowly eroding under the influence of stellar winds and radiation. The background glows in shades of yellow, orange, and blue, highlighting the energetic activity within this part of the nebula. The scene captures a region where new stars are actively forming.

Full size image of iconic Pillars of Creation.
By JWST.
🔭 🧪

This vertical image has layers of semi-opaque rusty red colored gas and dust that starts at the bottom left and goes toward the top right. There are three prominent pillars rising toward the top right. The left pillar is the largest and widest. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of brown and have red outlines.

#DidYouKnow: #PillarsOfCreation is possibly the most famous example of 'elephant trunks' of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula.

They are so named because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars.

An awe-inspiring infrared view of the Pillars of Creation. These towering columns of cosmic dust are star-forming regions, where new suns are born amidst the nebula’s brilliance 6,500 light-years away!
