You’ve seen the Pillars of Creation, one of the Hubble Space Telescope ’s most iconic images. Now, lose yourself inside the soaring dust clouds with a NASA visualization that dives into a three-dimensional version of the Pillars. The visualization uses data from Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope to create an immersive cosmic experience.
The video floats into a famous region of the Eagle Nebula known for its eye-catching formations. “This is the most comprehensive and detailed multiwavelength movie yet of these star-birthing clouds,” The sequence shows how Hubble and Webb complement each other. Hubble’s view of the Pillars is in visible light while Webb’s view is in infrared. “Hubble sees objects that glow in visible light, at thousands of degrees,” NASA said. “Webb's infrared vision, which is sensitive to cooler objects with temperatures of just hundreds of degrees, pierces through obscuring dust to see stars embedded in the pillars.
NASA released a companion video that narrates a journey into the Eagle Nebula and provides context for the visualization. The video calls on science papers and data from Hubble, Webb, the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. It starts with a wide view of our Milky Way home galaxy and moves in until it reaches the Pillars of Creation and slips into the 3D exploration.
