NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of the Pillars of Creation in near-infrared light. These pillars are filled with gas and dust, where young stars are forming. The image reveals newly formed stars with bright red orbs and distinctive spikes. Ejections from developing stars create wavy lines along the edges. While the interstellar medium limits our view of distant galaxies, it creates a captivating illumination effect within the pillars. This image will contribute to our understanding of star formation and the evolution of these structures. The Pillars of Creation are part of the Eagle Nebula, located 6,500 light-years away.
