M16

Nestled in the constellation Serpens, the M16 Nebula, also known as the Eagle Nebula, is a stunning celestial wonder. This vast star-forming region, located 5,700 light-years away, is a cosmic nursery where new stars are born from the dense clouds of gas and dust. The iconic « Pillars of Creation, » captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, reveal towering columns of interstellar matter sculpted by intense radiation and stellar winds. This breathtaking nebula serves as a vivid reminder of the ongoing cycle of stellar birth and death that shapes the ever-evolving tapestry of our universe.
