James Webb the most powerful space telescope has captured one of the most breath taking images of Pillars of Creation.

This majestic landscape of gold, copper, brown colored floating translucent columns of gas & dust belong to the vast Eagle Nebula which is est. 6500 light years away from Earth.

The similar images have been published long back when the NASA‘s Hubble Space Telescope captured the first image of the Pillars of Creation in 1995 and revisited it in 2014, but Hubble’s successor NASA’s James Webb has taken images in near-infrared light (by the camera called NIR cam) which is invisible to our naked eyes. Through NIR cam Webb telescope can pierce through the gases and dust to see the birth of stars.

NASA Said: Webb helps us identify for more precise counts of newborn stars along with the quantities of gas and dust. This will deepen our understanding of how stars form and bust out of these dusty clouds over millions of years.

“Along the edges of the pillars are wavy lines that look like lava, These are ejections from star that are forming. Young Stars periodically shoot out jets that can interact within clouds of material like these thick pillars of gas and dust” according to NASA.

“This sometimes also results in bow shocks, which can form wavy patterns like a boat does as it moves through water, these young stars are estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old and will continue to form for millions of years”.
