M16 Close Up
M16, the Eagle Nebula, is a young star cluster surrounded by dust and gas. This image uses the Hubble palette to showcase its Pillars of Creation—dense columns where stars form. Radiation from nearby stars erodes these pillars, revealing new stars within. The nebula is 7,000 light-years away in Serpens Cauda.
