Eagle nebula (M16)
Eagle nebula. True-colour optical image of the Eagle nebula (M16, NGC 6611) in the constellation Serpens Cauda. This huge cloud of gas and dust, which lies around 6000 light years from Earth, glows pink due to the ionisation of its hydrogen gas by radiation from hot, young stars embedded in it. It is known as the Eagle due to the shape of the prominent dust lane which obscures some of the bright central region. This image was produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the UK Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Eagle Nebula (M16) in all its true-color glory. Located approximately 6000 light years away from Earth, this vast cloud of gas and dust emanates a stunning pink hue, a result of hydrogen gas ionization caused by the intense radiation emitted by young and hot stars nestled within it. The nebula derives its name from the distinctive shape created by a prominent dust lane that partially obscures its radiant central region. The image was expertly crafted by digitally merging photographs taken using both blue and red light filters with the UK Schmidt Telescope. Its intricate details offer us a glimpse into the awe-inspiring process of star birth and stellar formation, shedding light on our understanding of cosmology and evolution in our universe. As we marvel at this celestial masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate how science and astronomy continue to unravel the mysteries hidden within these cosmic wonders. This photograph serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity to explore beyond our earthly boundaries, pushing the limits of knowledge while simultaneously igniting our sense of wonderment for what lies beyond.
