NASA and ESA’s incredible view of the ‘Pillars of Creation’, courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope , has become one of the most iconic views of our cosmos since it was first captured in .
The agencies’ newest image of the structure in the Eagle Nebula, however, has left us speechless.
It shows the radiating glow of the pillars in infrared light – and you can see the infrared light piercing through dust and gas, giving the pillars a spectacular blueish shadow.

The new infrared version is not the first time images of this cosmic structure have been revisited . 
In 2020 , astronomers assembled a more detailed image captured in visible light.

First discovered in by Swiss astronomer Jean-Philippe Loys de Cheseaux, (the Eagle Nebula) is roughly 7, 13 light-years from Earth, a nursery for stars in the Serpens constellation.
At four to five light-years in width, the pillar structure is immense, although it’s just a relatively small structure compared to the overall nebula, 
which spans a staggering by light-years .
