A new image of the Pillars of Creation gives us a deeper, more insightful look at the dust that forms new stars within the Eagle Nebula.
James Webb has captured a new image of the Pillars of Creation, giving us an even more detailed look at the gas structures that make up the iconic cosmic entity. In previous captures of the Pillars, we’ve been able to clearly see the dust clouds and structures that surround the object within the Eagle Nebula.
However, this new image gives us an even more chilling look at those important structures, especially when compared to older captures of the Pillars of Creation. The new image was captured using Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument. And, because most stars don’t emit much mid-infrared light, we’re able to get a better view of the dust structures that make up the Pillars of Creation.
Compare the look of the dust clouds of the Pillars of Creation in this image, to that in the image above, to see how drastically different things look when captured in mid-infrared light. Image source: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Joseph DePasquale , Alyssa Pagan

James Webb Space Telescope snaps new, super-spooky image of Pillars of CreationElizabeth Howell, Ph.D., is a staff writer in the spaceflight channel since 2022. She was contributing writer for Space.com for 10 years before that, since 2012. Elizabeth's reporting includes an exclusive with Office of the Vice-President of the United States, speaking several times with the International Space Station, witnessing five human spaceflight launches on two continents, working inside a spacesuit, and participating in a simulated Mars mission. Her latest book, 'Why Am I Taller?', is co-written with astronaut Dave Williams.
