This is a view looking toward the center of our Milky Way. We are zooming in to the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth. The Eagle's claws in the center of the Nebula are tall columns of cold hydrogen laced with dust. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has refotograph these pillars of creation in colorful new detail. This is the iconic pillars of creation, as photographed by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in 1995. Now Hubble has refotograph these towering columns in more detail and in an even wider view. Hubble's infrared vision shows these structures in a new light, as cold hydrogen and dust, silhouetted against myriad background stars.
