The Pillars of Creation... The scene that astonished the world is now shown in finer details through the James Webb Telescope

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Weather of Arabia</strong> - NASA&#39;s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shared a stunning image of the famous pillars of creation, and the image revealed towering mountains of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, one of the most productive star factories in the Milky Way, and the shot shows columns of gas and dust surrounded by a number of Countless twinkling stars. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/10/19/18/63642427-11332691-image-a-13_... style="width: 962px; height: 1667px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <em>(The stunning image of the Pillars of Creation as taken by the James Webb Telescope using the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) invisible to the naked eye</em> <em>, capable of detecting light from the oldest stars and galaxies)</em></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> According to a NASA statement, the new image shows the reason for the appearance of the tops of the three columns in this way that resembles moving lava, as this region is full of emerging stars that sometimes release powerful jets of matter and energy, to move its surroundings of dust clouds, and it appears in this way .</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The pillars of creation are a wonderful celestial scene that drew global attention when the Hubble Space Telescope took a picture of it for the first time in 1995, and again in 2014, it was one of the most amazing space shots that the human eye sees (the old image below). </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/10/19/18/63643917-11332691-image-m-20_... style="width: 962px; height: 1017px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <em>(Hubble image from 1995 hinted at new stars being born inside the plumes. Because of the mysterious dust, the Hubble image of visible light was unable to see inside and prove that young stars are forming, so NASA sent Hubble again on a second visit in 2014, allowing them to compare two shots)</em> </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/10/19/18/63642423-11332691-image-a-15_... style="width: 962px; height: 934px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <em>(This cosmic scene dazzled the world, which was captured by the Hubble telescope in 2014 AD for the pillars of creation, and the stars appear as glowing red celestial bodies, and the dense dust appears more blurry, but James Webb’s tools managed to penetrate the opacity of the pillars, to reveal a large number of stars the new ones that form and look like shiny red balls)</em></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The James Webb Telescope is designed to see infrared and electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths longer than visible (and invisible to the naked eye) light. On the dust clouds that litter the corridors of interstellar space.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> More: <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AF-31-%D8%B9%D8... is the difference between the James Webb telescope and the Hubble telescope?</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>What are the pillars of creation?</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The Pillars of Creation are located about 6500 - 7000 light years from Earth, specifically in the Eagle Nebula. The nebula is a huge mass of gases and dust; Some of them were formed as a result of the explosion of a star at the end of its life, and others are a starting point for the formation of new stars.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The pillars of creation are a region in which new stars are formed and reproduce in dense clouds of gas and dust, which is why they are called “pillars of creation”, where new stars are formed from the fragments of stars before them that ended in the form of columns of gas, and scientists confirm that the size of each ball of these gatherings is greater than The entire solar system.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The astronomers said in a press release that the images from the James Webb Telescope will allow for a better count of nebula stars and their types, and thus improve their models and theories on how stars are formed.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> James Webb, who revealed his first color images in July 2022, is located about 1.5 million kilometers from the planet. Among the main goals of the $10 billion telescope is to study the life cycle of stars, as well as to study planets outside the solar system.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> For more: <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%A7-%D8%AA... explains the importance of the historical image taken by the &quot;James Webb Telescope&quot; of the distant universe</a></p>
