NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“M16 Close Up” is copyrighted by Ignacio Diaz Bobillo. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

M16, also known as The Eagle Nebula, is a star cluster about 2 million years old, surrounded by glowing gas and dust clouds. This detailed image uses the Hubble palette, highlighting cosmic sculptures like the Pillars of Creation. These dense, dusty columns, light-years long, are gravitationally contracting to form new stars.
