COSMIC MESSAGE

The young star cluster M16 is surrounded by the Eagle Nebula, which consists of cosmic dust and glowing gas. This detailed image shows the fantastic shapes, including the Pillars of Creation, made famous by Hubble Space Telescope close-ups. These dense, dusty columns are light-years long and are gravitationally contracting to form new stars.
