These pillars stand the test of time.⁣ ⁣ Journey with us through the James Webb Space Telescope’s breathtaking view of the Pillars of Creation, where scores of newly formed stars glisten like dewdrops among floating, translucent columns of gas and dust. These pillars are just a tiny portion of the vast Eagle Nebula, which lies 6,500 light-years away.⁣ ⁣ If this majestic landscape looks familiar, you may recognize the original. NASAHubble first captured the Pillars of Creation in 1995 and revisited it in 2014. Webb’s latest view was taken in near-infrared light, which is invisible to our eyes. Seeing in infrared allows Webb to pierce through the dust and reveal stars galore.⁣ ⁣ Why go back to where we’ve been before? Webb helps us identify far more precise counts of newborn stars, along with the quantities of gas and dust. This will deepen our understanding of how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years. Read more at the link in NASAWebb’s bio!⁣ ⁣ Image des...
