According to NASA, “These towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas sit at the heart of M16, or the Eagle Nebula”. This iconic feature of the nebula is captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

In the picture, the blue colour represents oxygen, the green hue represents nitrogen and hydrogen, and the red hue represents sulphur. “The pillars are bathed in the scorching ultraviolet light from a cluster of young stars located just outside the frame. The winds from these stars are slowly eroding the towers of gas and dust,” NASA further explained.
