This image made by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the Eagle Nebula’s “Pillars of Creation.” The dust and gas in the pillars is seared by the intense radiation from young stars and eroded by strong winds from massive nearby stars. The Hubble Space Telescope marks its 25th anniversary. A full decade in the making, Hubble rocketed into orbit on April 24, 1990, aboard space shuttle Discovery.
