Pillars of Creation, Eagle Nebula Hubble Space Coaster

Webb image in the heart of the Eagle Nebula, colossal pillars of gas and dust dance in a cosmic ballet. Though ravaged by fierce winds from nearby stars, these pillars are sanctuaries of creation. Within their swirling embrace, new stars ignite, their fiery birth throes a counterpoint to the slow erosion of their dusty cradle. The scene is a breathtaking reminder of the universe's relentless dance between creation and destruction, a cycle that forever sculpts the tapestry of the cosmos. - This file is in the public domain in the United States because it was solely created by NASA.
