Description

M16 is a bright nebula approximately 7000 light years away, and spans about 70 light years across.
Near its center is the star forming region known as the "Pillars of Creation" .. made famous by the iconic images from Hubble.

Here I have blended RGB data (for natural star colors) with narrowband data using the SHO palette.

The colorful outer nebulosity really seem to remind me of the bifrost bridge in the MCU ... perhaps Thor was passing through M16 that night?
