The most anticipated image from the space telescope has arrived.
The Pillars of Creation can be seen from the heart of the Eagle Nebula, thanks to the JWST's golden eye.
The Pillars rose to prominence when the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the region in 1995. The structures were like nothing we'd ever seen before; majestic clouds of glowing thick dust and glowing gas.
The most detailed image of the structures has been provided by the JWST.
Astronomers want to get the perspective of the pillars on the JWST because of their activity. Baby stars are born in dusty clumps in a stellar nursery. This happens when swirling knots in the dust collapse under the weight of gravity.
The surrounding dust is blasted away by the winds and radiation of a star. The theory is that the early stages of star formation are completely obscured from view.
The longer wavelength of light doesn't scatter off dust like the shorter wavelength of light. They can travel through the dust and see through the walls of dust.

The Hubble Space Telescope was involved in the action with this image.
The image of the Pillars of Creation shows new details thanks to the power of the JWST. There are red areas at the tips of the Pillars that are evidence of baby stars. The heat visible as thermal radiation is produced by shocks.
The image will allow scientists to conduct a more thorough and accurate census of star formation in the dense clouds, as well as shed new light on the early stages of star formation, which have historically been extremely difficult to observe.
The new image reminds us of the beauty of the Universe.
