Fine Art Print : Gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula
Gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula. Hubble Space Telescope image showing dark pillars of dense molecular hydrogen and dust in the Eagle Nebula (M16). Ultraviolet light from young stars (out of frame) evaporates gas from the 1 light-year long pillars, creating the blue halo-like effect. The small protrusions on the pillars contain globules of even denser gas which are embryonic stars; these have been dubbed Evaporating Gaseous Globules, or EGGs. The evaporation of the pillar limits the amount of gas and dust which these embryonic stars can gather. The Eagle Nebula is about 7000 light years from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula, a celestial wonder located approximately 7000 light years away from Earth. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, this image showcases dark columns composed of dense molecular hydrogen and dust within the nebula known as M16. The ethereal blue halo surrounding these towering structures is created by ultraviolet light emitted from young stars situated just outside the frame. This radiation causes the gas within the one-light-year-long pillars to evaporate, resulting in a stunning visual effect. Upon closer inspection, one can observe small protrusions on these pillars that contain globules of even denser gas. These peculiar formations are referred to as Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGGs) and serve as incubators for embryonic stars. However, due to their proximity to the evaporating pillar, these EGGs face limitations in gathering sufficient amounts of gas and dust necessary for their growth. This awe-inspiring photograph not only highlights star birth and stellar formation but also offers insights into cosmology and astrophysics. It serves as a testament to our evolving understanding of our universe's vastness and complexity.
