What looks as if it is going to swallow the great Pillars of Creation?
The Eagle Nebula (M16) is not a bird, a plane, or Superman. M16 is actually a combination of several celestial objects.
NGC 6611 is the young star cluster that appears to peak out beneath the Eagleโs โwingsโ. The ultraviolet light from these stars ionizes the surrounding gas, creating the emission nebula IC 4703. The Stellar Spire is seen reaching towards the Pillars of Creation from the left.
Both are structures of cold gas and dust that are optimal for star formation. Some astronomers previously thought the Pillars of Creation had been evaporated away by a supernova. Because M16 is 6,000 light years away, we would not be able to see the Pillarsโ destruction for thousands more years.
However, there is no conclusive evidence of the theorized supernova, so the Pillars of Creation will likely continue to create stars for millions of years.

@pembox17 All sounds positive but it's a journey good days and bad days I had a call from dieticians asking me how my stoma was , read the bloody notes

well.Ct scan team very happy with my mobility

Transport tried to pick me up from home!
We had told them 3 times where to pick up.
Barn Owl flew so close this morning I could have almost touched it! Here it is hovering in the fields. 2 days ago one of the fledglings was on the ground under the nest & on the advice of the Barn Owl Trust I got a ladder & put it back in the hole. Hopefully itโs fine now ๐ค
