Pillars Of Creation

Just when you think you can't be anymore amazed by the radiance of our beloved Cosmos- Hubble gives us THIS!!
To celebrate 25 years (1990-2015) of exploring the Universe from low Earth orbit, the Hubble Space Telescope's cameras were used to revisit its most iconic image. 

Dubbed the "Pillars of Creation", stars are forming deep inside the towering structures. 
The light-years long columns of cold gas and dust are some 6,500 light-years distant in M16, the Eagle Nebula, toward the constellation Serpens.
