NASA. Historical photograph of the "PILLARS OF CREATION". Star-forming pillars in the Eagle Nebula, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope's WFPC2. The image is composed of 32 different images from four separate cameras of this instrument. The photograph was taken with light emitted from different elements of the cloud and appears as a different color in the composite image: green for hydrogen, red for single-ionized sulfur, and blue for double-ionized oxygen atoms. The missing portion in the upper right is due to the fact that one of the four cameras has a magnified view of its portion, allowing astronomers to see finer details. The images from this camera have been reduced in size to match those from the other three cameras. 1995.period chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Caption on label on back. 25.4 X 20.4CM with margins.
