Pillars of Creation, a photograph taken by the Hubble Telescope in 1995. The stars in this part of the Eagle Nebula are formed by other stars eroding at fingers of gas and this forms an egg shape out of the finger. Each “egg” is around the same size as our Solar System and houses a brand new star. I don’t really understand what that means, but the beauty and variety of the universe is something I’ve been considering recently.
