This newly reprocessed image provides a new view of an enormous, 9.5-light-year-tall pillar of cold gas and dust, part of the greater Eagle Nebula, also called Messier 16. The Eagle Nebula is one of many nebulae in the Milky Way that are known for their sculpted, dusty clouds. Nebulae take on these fantastic shapes when exposed to powerful radiation and winds from infant stars. via ESA/Hubble & NASA, K. Noll

🦅 Eagle Nebula’s Towering Beauty
This cosmic pillar rises 9.5 light-years (~90 trillion km) high!
A stellar nursery where new stars are born.

A tiny dark cloud floats in the Eagle Nebula, known as a Bok globule.
These small, dense knots of gas and dust are some of the coldest, darkest places in the galaxy.
They may be small, but they carry the seeds of stars yet to be born.
