When you take a look at the wispy glow of this nebula through an astronomical telescope or binoculars, you are witnessing a stellar object that is approximately 7000 light-years away.β£

The newborn stars in the Eagle Nebula are very hot, which illuminate M16βs hydrogen gas as seen in the Pillars of Creation, made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope. These intense pillars are slowly evaporating under the intense glare of the nearby massive, newborn stars. πππ πππππππ ππ ππππππππ ππππππ ππππππππππ πππππ πͺπππππ πππ ππππππ ππππππ , πππ ππ πππππππππ, ππππ πππ ππππππ ππππ πππ ππππππ πππππ ππππππβ£

The Eagle Nebula is a bright (magnitude 6.2) emission nebula in the constellation Serpens.It contains several active star-forming regions of gas and dust, and is one of the brightest nebulae in our night sky. βThe Eagleβ can easily be identified in long-exposure images of the Milky Wayβ£
