Look: NASA Releases 3D Multiwavelength Movie of the “Pillars of Creation” | UAP

NASA has released a three-dimensional multi-wavelength movie of the star-forming region known as the “Pillars of Creation.” Compiled from data gathered by the James Webb Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-Ray observatory, NASA describes the nearly five-minute visualization as “the most comprehensive and detailed multiwavelength movie yet” of this area of space.

“By flying past and amongst the pillars, viewers experience their three-dimensional structure and see how they look different in the Hubble visible-light view versus the Webb infrared light view,” explained principal visualization scientist and leader of the video development team Frank Summers of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore. “The contrast helps them understand why we have more than one space telescope to observe different aspects of the same object.”

Largest Pillars of Creation Span Three Light Years

Located at the center of an area of space known as M16, or the Eagle Nebula, the Pillars of Creation are massive clouds of cool molecular hydrogen mixed with dust where new stars form. This massive stellar nursery came to fame in 1995 when Hubble sent back the first stunning images of the region captured by its Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2. A newer version of the camera installed on Hubble…
