Hubble 25th Anniversary: Pillars of Creation
To celebrate 25 years of exploring the Universe, the Hubble Space Telescope's cameras revisited its most iconic image. The result is this sharper, wider view of the Pillars of Creation. Stars are forming deep inside these towering structures. The light-years long columns of cold gas and dust are some 6,500 light-years distant in M16, the Eagle Nebula, towards the constellation Serpens.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
