Description

Of course the interesting part of nebula is, of course, the Pillars of Creation, probably the most famous image The Hubble Space Telescope ever took. The inset comes from just a portion of that HST image. It's a filter very near the H-alpha emission line. If you want a challenge, download the original HST data and process the Pillars image for yourself.
