Eagle Nebula - M16

[MellowCruisin]

A thousand years from now... we wont be able to see the pillars of creation like this. Enjoy it while you can.

@MellowCruisin I haven't read that anywhere. Could you point me to the information you're getting this from? Thanks.

[MellowCruisin]

@jdblueemerald Sure.. google pillars of creations destroyed. A supernova destroyed them 6,000 years ago so in 1000 years we wont see them the same way

[jdblueemerald]

@MellowCruisin Oh, OK, so "they've" been able to ascertain the event of a supernova without direct observation. Anyway, thanks, and I'll check it out.

[jdaliix]

It's not a real pic, it's a real video, and yes, it is real. Shot it myself.

what camera u used to made it ?

[jdaliix]

It's a Mallincam Hyper video camera, which is the best commercially available for this kind of work, at least that we know of.

[soulalex001]

isnt the eagle nebula like 7000 light years away?

[sevenlukechilders]

these pillars wont be here in the next couple million years becouse it is slowly eroding away as we speak and the eagle nebula is one of the most beautiful nebula out there

[leeroynaggins]

I'm gonna start worrying about that soon...

[ipissouttheass]

can someone tell me were the pillars of creation are located on this pic

[jmagus1]

Look dead center in the video and you'll see a thumblike protrusion standing to the left of other streamlike tentacles to its right. They're all leaning on about a 45 degree angle to the left, three of them, with the thumblike cloud on the left with its "head" at almost dead center.

[ipissouttheass]
