NASA’s James Webb Telescope has captured an extraordinary and highly-detailed view of the iconic cosmic landscape Pillars of Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image released on Wednesday revealed newly formed stars and pillars of gas and dust that look like rock formations. The portrait is the latest from the Webb observatory, building on the telescope’s already impressive collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pillars of Creation lie within the Eagle Nebula, located around 6,500 light-years away from Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were first made famous when captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in 1995 and again in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As opposed to previous images captured, the near-infrared camera of the Webb Telescope allows for a more precise view of the Pillars of Creation, revealing more of the region’s newly formed stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Webb\u2019s new view of the Pillars of Creation, which were first made famous when imaged by NASA\u2019s Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, will help researchers revamp their models of star formation by identifying far more precise counts of newly formed stars, along with the quantities of gas and dust in the region,” the NASA astronomers said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
