Far out … ominous … glittering! ’s views of the Pillars of Creation shows the capacity of infrared light: The first combines mid- and near-infrared light, the second is mid-infrared-only, spotlighting dust. Near-infrared-only shows the stars: webbtelescope.pub/3yaM1y0

The Pillars of Creation

Image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared instrument (MIRI). Mid-infrared light specializes in detailing where dust and gas is. Here, the densest areas of dust are the darkest shades of gray, while the red region toward the top is where the dust is diffuse and cooler.

What do Edgar Allan Poe (born 214 years ago today) and STScI have in common? Baltimore!

The “Master of Macabre” is buried here, and once upon a midday dreary, while we pondered, weak and weary, what Poe would say about the universe we’ve seen: webbtelescope.pub/3XIEzop

A new look at the Pillars of Creation from — a star-forming region in the Eagle Nebula.

This is an image made by combining near-infrared and mid-infrared light.

Stars primarily show up in near-infrared light. In mid-infrared light, dust in these cold, dark pillars glows.

The lava-like area at the top edge of the second pillar comes from ejections from newly forming stars, which shock the surrounding gas.

A new image of the so-called Pillars of Creation was released, once again captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. It follows an image published a few days ago yet they show a landscape that looks very different with regards to the background of the structures that gave this star-forming area its nickname.

The team has released a new mid-infrared photo of the , a view that “strikes a chilling tone.” used its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) which was better able to pick up the dust of the region.

The so-called Pillars of Creation have been portrayed in some of the iconic images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Now the James Webb Space Telescope obtained even more detailed views of that star-forming area that is part of the Eagle Nebula.

In 1995, Hubble captured the first image of . It revisited the scene in 2014 to reveal a sharper wider view in visible light (L). Now a new, near-infrared-light view from Webb’s NIRCam is helping to “peer through” more of the dust in this star-forming region (R)
