NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Hubble Space Telescope. The “Pillars of Creation.” 1995. Considered one of the greatest icons of modern astronomy, this photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope reveals the famous “Pillars of Creation” at the heart of the Eagle Nebula. These immense columns of gas and dust, several light-years tall, serve as veritable cradles where new stars are born. The exceptional richness of detail, the depth of the shadows, and the subtle nuances of light give this image an almost sculptural quality. A true masterpiece of scientific photography, it has become one of the most famous, most reproduced, and most admired images in the entire history of space exploration. Chromogenic print. Caption on label on the back. 40.6 x 40.6 cm with margins.
