The 3D visualization combines data from the Hubble and James Webb telescopes to display a magnificent view of the celestial body.
The Pillars of Creation encompass “three towers of gas and dust, standing light-years tall” that give “birth to new stars, buried within their dusty spires,”. Now, in a two-and-a-half-minute video released on YouTube by NASA, a new 3D visualization of the Pillars of Creation in the heart of the Eagle Nebula offers magnificent views that can also help better understand the subject. In fact, the new visual, as aesthetically captivating as it may be, is no mere guesswork.
In the video, viewers see 360-degree looks at the Pillars of Creation, both in visible and infrared lighting. This is possible by combining the data from both telescopes, which “work together to provide a more complex and holistic portrait of the pillars,”“Hubble sees objects that glow in visible light, at thousands of degrees.
