Our #HubbleTopImage features a detail of the Eagle Nebula 🦅⁠ ⁠ This 9.5 light-years-tall structure of billowing gas and dark, obscuring dust is just one small portion of the Eagle Nebula! Hot young stars are unleashing an onslaught of ultraviolet light and stellar winds which sculpt the nebula’s hydrogen gas into fantastical shapes like these. ⁠ ⁠ The stars responsible for carving this particular structure out of the stellar raw material lie just out of view, at the Eagle Nebula’s centre.⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 ESA/Hubble, NASA, K.
