The Pillars of Creation are towering, finger-like structures of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, M16, located 6,500 light-years from Earth.
The pillars are a "stellar nursery" where new stars are born within the dense clouds. The Hubble Space Telescope captured the iconic image in 1995, and again in 2014 for a wider, sharper view.
This photo was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
