Humbled by Hubble: 'Pillars of Creation'
There are few things that humble me more than Hubble's images of the Universe. 'Pillars of Creation was taken in 1995 and in celebration of Hubble's 25th anniversary the 'Pillars' have been revisited and a more in-depth image created.

I am gobsmacked by the sheer magnitude of it all, the 'Pillars', are 5 light-years tall or 29.4 trillion miles long. The Eagle Nebula, where the 'Pillars' reside, is 6,500 light-years away.
ReplyDeleteHart GA Yes. Astounding. Very challenging to grok.
