Hollywood couldn’t have done a better job dramatically lighting this pillar of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2004. All credit here belongs to the cosmos, though—specifically a cluster of hot young stars (off-screen) silhouetting the pillar and eroding it slowly from above with torrents of ultraviolet light. The darkest, densest areas of the pillar are likely acting as a cocoon for future stars that are waiting for their moment to break out and shine.

Let’s take a look at the Eagle Nebula—twice in fact—with the Hubble and Webb space telescopes! First observed by Hubble in 1995, this captivating scene was revisited in 2014 by the telescope. Hubble’s reexamination of this region, seen here, shows a sharper and wider view than its original image. In visible light, the dark brown pillars seem multi-layered and opaque, with only a few red stars able to peek through the columns of gas and dust. In 2022, astronomers used Webb to observe this same ar
