Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula
Gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula. Hubble Space Telescope image showing dark pillars of dense molecular hydrogen and dust in the Eagle Nebula (M16). Ultraviolet light from young stars (out of frame) evaporates gas from the 1 light-year long pillars, creating the blue halo-like effect. The small protrusions on the pillars contain globules of even denser gas which are embryonic stars; these have been dubbed Evaporating Gaseous Globules, or EGGs. The evaporation of the pillar limits the amount of gas and dust which these embryonic stars can gather. The Eagle Nebula is about 7000 light years from Earth

Discover the wonders of the universe with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints featuring the breathtaking image of the Gas Pillars in the Eagle Nebula. This stunning photograph captured by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases the dark pillars of dense molecular hydrogen and dust, a mesmerizing sight in the expansive Eagle Nebula (M16). Bring the beauty of space into your home or office with this high-quality poster print. Experience a daily reminder of the vastness and mystery of the cosmos.
A4 Poster (29.7 x 21cm, 8.3 x 11.7 inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 29.7cm x 21cm (11.7" x 8.3")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula, a celestial wonder located approximately 7000 light years away from Earth. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, this image showcases dark columns composed of dense molecular hydrogen and dust within the nebula known as M16. The ethereal blue halo surrounding these towering structures is created by ultraviolet light emitted from young stars situated just outside the frame. This radiation causes the gas within the one-light-year-long pillars to evaporate, resulting in a stunning visual effect. Upon closer inspection, one can observe small protrusions on these pillars that contain globules of even denser gas. These peculiar formations are referred to as Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGGs) and serve as incubators for embryonic stars. However, due to their proximity to the evaporating pillar, these EGGs face limitations in gathering sufficient amounts of gas and dust necessary for their growth. This awe-inspiring photograph not only highlights star birth and stellar formation but also offers insights into cosmology and astrophysics. It serves as a testament to our evolving understanding of our universe's vastness and complexity.
