Located more than 7,000 light years from Earth, these pillars consist of vast towers of hydrogen gas more than nine light years in length. (More than twice the separation distance between the Sun and the Alpha Centauri system).” Also known as Messier 16 (M16), and NGC 6611 star forming region. Center image is the Helix 🧬 Nebula 𓂀✨
