Though this towering structure of billowing gas and dark, obscuring dust is only a small portion of the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16), it is no less majestic in appearance for it. The pillar rises 9.5 light-years tall and is 7,000 light-years away from Earth. This latest Hubble view uses new processing techniques and is part of ESA/Hubble’s 35th anniversary celebrations.
