The Hubble Space Telescope image shown above is about the birth of new stars! Few Universe pictures have generated as much curiosity as the picture of a portion of the Eagle Nebula shown above. The Eagle Nebula is an interstellar region of gas, plasma and dust in which new stars are formed (hence the name, “Pillars of Creation”). The materials in this region continuously clump together to form larger and larger masses which ultimately become so big that they form stars.
The Eagle Nebula is located about 6,500 light years away from the Earth in the direction of the Serpens constellation. It is about 20 light years in length. The towers of gas that form the emission nebula are trillions of miles in length.

Optical Illusion of the Day: To promote the “psychologically and physically thrilling” Nemesis Sub-Terra ride set to open next month at Alton Towers Resort, artist Andrew Walker was commissioned to design an equally psychologically and physically thrilling 3D illusion for an elevator at the Southside Shopping Centre in the south London district of Wandsworth.
“When creating the illusion inside the lift we considered some our most common fears including heights, darkness and claustrophobia that are also a core part of the new attraction,” said Alton Towers spokeswoman Katherine Duckworth. “The reactions of the public were fascinating and we can’t wait to see what happens when people come and experience the new attraction for the first time.”
