The Eagle Nebula (M16)
A star cluster around 2 million years young, M16 is surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas also known as The Eagle Nebula. This image of the region includes cosmic sculptures made famous in Hubble Space Telescope close-ups of the star forming complex. Described as elephant trunks or Pillars of Creation, dense, dusty columns rising near the center are light-years in length but are gravitationally contracting to form stars. Energetic radiation from the cluster stars erodes material near the tips, eventually exposing the embedded new stars. Extending from the left edge of the frame is another dusty star forming column known as the Fairy of Eagle Nebula. M16 and the Eagle Nebula lie about 7,000 light-years away, an easy target for binoculars or small telescopes in a nebula rich part of the sky toward the split constellation Serpens Cauda (the tail of the snake).

M16 and the Eagle Nebula

Explanation: A star cluster around 2 million years young surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas, M16 is also known as The Eagle Nebula. This beautifully detailed image of the region includes cosmic sculptures made famous in Hubble Space Telescope close-ups of the starforming complex. Described as elephant trunks or Pillars of Creation, dense, dusty columns rising near the center are light-years in length but are gravitationally contracting to form stars. Energetic radiation from the cluster stars erodes material near the tips, eventually exposing the embedded new stars. Extending from the ridge of bright emission left of center is another dusty starforming column known as the Fairy of Eagle Nebula. M16 and the Eagle Nebula lie about 7,000 light-years away, an easy target for binoculars or small telescopes in a nebula rich part of the sky toward the split constellation Serpens Cauda (the tail of the snake).

M16 - The Eagle Nebula

In this image taken by +Dylan O'Donnell you can see the Eagle Nebula (M16, NGC 6611). It is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Serpens (The Snake), about 7,000 light-years away from Earth.

It is an active star forming region and contains the famous "Pillars of Creation". If you look closely you can make out the shape of the pillars pretty much center image. A bigger image of the "Pillars of Creation" and more information on them you can find here:

Global Star Party

+Dylan O'Donnell is one of the many talented astronomers participating in the +Global Star Party The Global Star Party is a weekly hangout (next Episode: https://goo.gl/juI7MW) with talk about astronomy and live views of objects in space. Take a look at some of the images taken by participants here:

What is an emission nebula?

An emission nebula is a cloud of ionized gas (often by ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars) emitting light of various colors. More here:

Why do the colors look so different from the famous Pillars of Creation image?
