The Eagle Nebula - M16
Update version of the Eagle Nebula.
The Eagle Nebula is an active star-forming region 7,000 lightyears away that spans 70 lightyears across. It is host to scorching hot newborn stars that illuminate, carve and sculpt the surrounding gas and dust.
The Eagle Nebula, also known as M16 in the Messier Catalogue, is probably best known because of the iconic Pillars of Creation, famously imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.
