The Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16 (M16), is a star-forming region located about 5,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens Cauda. It was made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope's image of the "Pillars of Creation," which are towering columns of gas and dust where new stars are being born.
