Description

NASA. DEEP SPACE. LARGE FORMAT. Magnificent photographs of the iconic "Pillars of Creation". By combining images of the iconic Pillars of Creation taken by two cameras aboard the Webb Space Telescope, the universe has been framed in its infrared glory. The near-infrared image has been merged with the mid-infrared image, setting this star-forming region ablaze with new detail. Myriads of stars are scattered across the entire scene. The stars appear mainly in the near-infrared. The near-infrared light also reveals thousands of newly-formed stars: the bright orange spheres just outside the dusty pillars. Dust also makes up the arrow-shaped pillars that extend from bottom left to top right. This is one of the reasons why the region is teeming with stars: dust is a major ingredient in star formation. When knots of gas and dust of sufficient mass form in the pillars, they begin to collapse under their own gravitational pull, slowly heating up and eventually forming new stars. The newly-formed stars are particularly visible at the edges of the two upper pillars - they practically burst onto the scene. On the upper edge of the second pillar, undulating details in red indicate the presence of even deeper stars. These are even younger and very active during their formation. The lava-like regions represent their periodic ejections. As stars form, they periodically emit supersonic jets that can interact with clouds of matter, such as these thick pillars of gas and dust. These young stars are estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old, and will continue to form for millions of years. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Legend on label on back. 60.9 x 60.9CM with margins.
