From the Hubble Site: "Appearing like a winged fairy-tale creature poised on a pedestal, this object is actually a billowing tower of cold gas and dust rising from a stellar nursery called the Eagle Nebula. The soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 57 trillion miles high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star.
Stars in the Eagle Nebula are born in clouds of cold hydrogen gas that reside in chaotic neighborhoods, where energy from young stars sculpts fantasy-like landscapes in the gas. The tower may be a giant incubator for those newborn stars. A torrent of ultraviolet light from a band of massive, hot, young stars [off the top of the image] is eroding the pillar."
Basically that's a star forming region in the nebula. Through the interaction of gasses etc. new stars are formed.

Beautiful! Hubble has gotten a lot of press since NASA announced it would let it burn up; they're rethinking the situation.

Weird but true:Texas - It was a 17-million-to-1 shot — actually shots — when an El Paso man and a player in his foursome each aced the same hole.
These Hubble images make real nice wallpaper. Thanks.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.
