The Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16 (M16), is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, about 5,700 light-years away from Earth. It is part of a diffuse emission nebula or H II region, which means it is a region of ionized gas that emits light. The nebula is famous for a feature within it called the “Pillars of Creation,” which was made famous by images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
