Pillars of Creation (1995) – Nasa
Years before the Hubble Space Telescope captured this magical scene, the equipment had to be repaired a couple of times. In April 1995, it gave a glimpse of the Eagle Nebula in the Serpens Cauda constellation. This picture may look manipulated, but the interstellar dust clouds truly look magnificent.
In 2014, the Hubble revisited the pillars and gave the public a sharper and wider view of the sight. The photo was released during the American Astronomical Society meeting. This iconic image is so popular that it’s been used in a 2018 short film.
