Pillars of creation
The Pillars of Creation were first made famous when NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of them in 1995. These pillars appear like rock formations – three towers of gas and dust which are more permeable than they look. The Pillars of Creation are part of the Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16.Some 7,000 light-years from Earth are gigantic cosmic columns of dust and gas. Because new stars are coalescing there, the formation is known as the Pillars of Creation

The James Webb Telescope has captured a mind-blowing image of I Zwicky 18
In a new image released on March 26, 2024, The James Webb Telescope has captured a mind-blowing image of I Zwicky 18, a dwarf irregular galaxy like those in the early universe! This galactic furnace is churning out stars at a furious pace, with dusty bubbles sculpted by young stellar winds. A neighbor galaxy might even be playing a role in this starburst frenzy! Webb is diving deep into I Zw 18's dust and stars to unlock its history and the secrets of galaxy formation. ✨ Previously thought to be a late bloomer, new evidence suggests I Zw 18 started forming stars billions of years ago. Webb also hints that the starburst regions fired up at different times! This discovery is a game-changer, offering a glimpse into the workings of galaxies in the early cosmos. Stay tuned as Webb continues to unravel the mysteries of I Zwicky 18 and beyond! #JWSTdiscovers #galaxyevolution #spaceexploration

So the James Webb telescope took a picture of a infant star!!
Tumblr media
The small glowing blob is protostar L1527! Caught in the glow of its sunrise-like creation the baby is only 100,000 years old! It can take up to 50 million years for a star to reach the size of our sun. This infant has a long time to go.
Located 460 light years away this is one hell of a childhood photo!

Think we're the only planet with life? 350mp quality. Remember to download to your phone and zoom in. Gets even more beautiful. Yes this is a nebula, yes I know there’s no life in a nebula. Of course these are not real photos. Duh!
