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

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.

thıs ıs fake !:A

[jmagus1]

No it isn't. I shot it myself. What makes you think it's fake?

[sevenlukechilders]

isnt the eagle nebula like 7000 light years away?

@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.

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

[MellowCruisin]

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

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

[leeroynaggins]

If this is a real pic, it is truly incredible!!

[leeroynaggins]

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

[soulalex001]

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