Gas Pillars in the Eagle Nebula (M16): Pillars of Creation in a Star-Forming Region

          This is not really a painting but a picture captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in the Eagle Nebula, which is 6500 light years away. The image, called the Pillars of creation in short, shows three beautiful pillars of dust and interstellar gas. One can see the stars erupting at the tip of each pillar, which is about the same size as our solar system. Unfortunately, the pillars of creation were destroyed about 6 thousand years ago by a supernova, but because of how long it takes for the light to travel, we only see the supernova wave headed towards the pillars.
          This was not captured to respond to anything politically but instead to help scientist learn about the anomalies in our universe. This, along with many other pictures captured by Hubble, show humans the distant reaches of our universe and help us understand what is around us. This is an excellent example of the unknown, because using this, we can see what we could not ten to a thousand years ago in the past, and shows us what is out there. There are so many things that humans don’t understand, about science, religion, art, philosophy and these all pertain to the unknown. Yet with more pictures like these coming out, humans can gain a better understanding about the world around them.
