And they don't use visual range of photography for nebulas. They take pictures applying the three primary colors of light assigned to the composition of the nebula. Red shows emission from singly-ionized sulfur atoms. Green shows emission from hydrogen. Blue shows light emitted by doubly- ionized oxygen atoms. So, if you were to look at the nebula it wouldn't look like the picture shown.
Pillars of creation.. too beast, it cuts us down to size when that magnificent huge thing of gas/dust that is larger than our entire solar system makes stars. I wish I could just scoops a hand full of it.
@swomplode funny. ha how old are you btw? ya voyager was a tv show, loved by trekkies across the globe (i'll never know why, i dont see how you could improve on the next generation but oh well). but it long before that, Voyager was a space probe in the 70's and nearly completed a tour of our solar system. The Hubble, on the other hand, which brought us these photos, is equipped with the now standard instruments that allow us to observe certain light spectrum (xrays, ultraviolet, etc.) in space.
@swomplode wow. i .. uhh... just wow. you honest to goodness believe that? what about the Pioneer and Voyager space probe missions, well known of for over thirty years, one of them made it to the far side of Neptune. The fact that you still dispute the reality of the Hubble pictures of the nebula just amazes me. You're entitled to your opinion, and i'll not try to get a blind man to see. Still, this doesn't mean you can't enjoy their beauty, might I suggest the Tarantula Nebula, my personal fav.
