The 3D visualization is the most detailed multi-wavelength video of the massive celestial structure.
The shimmery towers of cosmic dust and gas at the heart of the Eagle Nebula have inspired awe for decades since they were first captured by the Hubble telescope. Now, NASA released the most detailed visualization of the iconic celestial structure, revealing all of its dreamy features across multiple wavelengths of light.
Hubble views the pillars with dark brown, opaque dust, and bright yellow ionized gas against a greenish-blue background while Webb’s image features orange and orange-brown dust that’s almost transparent with light blue ionized gas against a dark blue background. The visualization also highlights several stages of star formation. At the top of the central pillar, there’s an embedded, infant protostar glimmering bright red in infrared light.
