“The Eagle Nebula in Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Sulfur” is copyrighted by IAC, Daniel Lopez. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteBright blue stars are forming in the dark pillars of the Eagle Nebula. This region, also known as M16, is a dramatic example of star formation. This image, taken by a 0.8-meter telescope in the Canary Islands, captures part of the open cluster of stars being created. The detail in the picture comes from imaging only the specific colors of light emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
