A breathtaking new picture of the famous Eagle -Nebel captures a high -towering pillar of gas and dust, which is shaped by intensive star radiation.
The Eagle mist, also known as Messier 16, is about 6,500 light years from the earth in the constellation serpens. It is a well -known outstanding kindergarten with huge parts made of cosmic dust and gas from which new stars are born.
The fog is known for the legendary “pillar of the creation”, which the Hubble world dream telescope recorded in 1995. A new picture of the space telescope shows a lesser-known pillar within the eagle’s leg, which reveals its complex textures and the effects of intensive ultraviolet radiation from the baby star.
“Along the duration of the picture is a column of cold gas and dust that is 9.5 light years tall,” said ESA officials in the explanation. “As huge as this dusty pillar is, it is just a small piece of the Greater Eagle fog.”
The latest Hubble image was created with new data processing techniques that have been developed in this region in 2005 since Hubble’s last studies. Astronomers are visiting exciting Hubble goals such as the Eagle Nebula in honor of the upcoming 35th anniversary of the space telescope this week.
The Eagle fog is shaped by dense gas and dust clouds that create a silhouette that resembles an eagle with stretched wings. A group of young stars is outside the framework of this new Hubble picture, but has influenced the formation of nearby cosmic structures. The gas regions are more resistant to radiation and star winds of young stars, so that they can remain as dusty sculptures like this newly depicted star formation pillar.
“The Eagle fog is one of many fog in a milky way that are known for their shaped, dusty clouds,” said ESA officials in the explanation. “Fog take over these fantastic shapes when they are exposed to severe radiation and winds of infant star.”
