The Nebula Thats Melting Away - Pillars of Creation
Buried deep within the Eagle Nebula somewhere around 7000 light years away sits 3 towering pillars of dust and gas...
known as the Pillars of Creation. These majestic structure are the location of new star formation, a stellar nursery.
But they are slowly being evaporated away.... like an icecream melting in the midday sun.
Includes: Hubble images from 1995, 2014 including Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 & 3. CGI renderings and an explanation
into how the pillars of creation have formed and what gives them their unusual shape.

The Hubble Space Telescope Launched 25 years ago
25 years ago, NASA launched the +Hubble Space Telescope.
It was then the most powerful scientific instrument in existence.
Hubble has allowed astronomers to discover that the Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate,
and is populated by countless billions of planets, stars, and galaxies.

Wow! One of the most famous star explosions captured by the Hubble Space Telescope
� several times � shows clear evidence of expansion in this new animation.
You can see here the Homunculus Nebula getting bigger and bigger between 1995 and 2008,
when Hubble took pictures of the Eta Carinae star system.

How do we see same supernova multiple times? Because speed limit of light & gravitational lensing. #HubbleHangout
Know the Cosmos @KnowTheCosmos Dec 17,2015
Models of gravitational lensing were used to predict the reappearance of the supernova. #HubbleHangout
