Explanation: Newborn stars are forming in the Eagle Nebula. This
image, taken with the Hubble
Space Telescope in 1995, shows evaporating
gaseous globules (EGGs) emerging from pillars of molecular hydrogen
gas and dust.
The giant pillars
are light years in length and are so dense that interior gas contracts
gravitationally to form stars. At each pillars'
end, the intense radiation of bright young stars causes low density material
to boil away, leaving stellar
nurseries of dense EGGs exposed. The Eagle
Nebula, associated with the open star cluster M16,
lies about 7000 light years away.
