Almost finished with my #wip M16 “Pillars of Creation” as seen in infrared by JWST. Need to do final outlines in silver, put in the main stars and rays.

Good morning Masto. I haven’t been very social (media) this week, sorry. Here’s a new painting I started! (I think my numbering system is shot at this point, is this #wip 3C? Sure why not.)

#DidYouKnow:#PillarsOfCreation is a #Photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation.

They are so named because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars, while also being eroded by the light from nearby stars that have recently formed.

Just feeling amazed about how much technology we have and how tiny we are in this #universe after reading up on #PillarsOfCreation. The fact that the photos are showing us the past because it's so damn far still blows my mind.... Like we actually have the ability to look into the past if we look far enough *mind_blown.gif* #science

'Newly formed stars are the scene-stealers in this image from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). These are the bright red orbs that typically have diffraction spikes and lie outside one of the dusty pillars. When knots with sufficient mass form within the pillars of gas and dust, they begin to collapse under their own gravity, slowly heat up, and eventually form new stars.'

The #PillarsOfCreation are towers of interstellar gas and dust in a constellation some 6,500–7,000 light-years from Earth.

The pillars are in the process of creating new stars, while also being eroded by light from nearby stars that have recently formed. https://w.wiki/5vk8

Pillars of Creation

Thousands and thousands of stars have formed in this region. This is made plain when examining Webb’s recent #NearInfrared #Camera (NIRCam) #image. In MIRI’s view, the majority of the stars appear missing. Why? Many newly formed stars are no longer surrounded by enough dust to be detected in mid-infrared light. Instead, #MIRI observes young stars that have not yet cast off their dusty “cloaks.”

On this particularly spooky day, this shot that the #Webb telescope made of the #PillarsofCreation seems most fitting.

Wow.

"NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a lush, highly detailed landscape – the iconic Pillars of Creation – where new stars are forming within dense clouds of gas and dust."
