The Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Image of Pillars of Creation

The James Webb Space Telescope has turned back an infrared image of the famous Pillars of Creation.

Translucent columns of cool interstellar gas and dust are punctuated by piercing, bright points of light in the ethereal scene.

According to NASA, the majority of these are stars, and the reddish balls of fire near the edges of the pillars are newly created stars.

These are not to be confused with the deep red, magma-like areas that run along the inside perimeter of a few of the pillars.

This is caused by the turbulence caused by stars that are still forming and shooting supersonic jets of material into space where they collide with other materials.

These epic explosions and cosmological collisions are thousands (approximately 6,500 light-years) of light-years away from Earth.

NASA’S Hubble Space Telescope photographed this region of the universe for the first time in 1995.

Images like Pillars of Creation, as well as additional data from Webb, will be used by NASA and astronomers around the world to gain a better understanding of the process of star formation.
