James Webb Captures Stellar Portrait Of Pillars Of Creation

The Hubble Space Telescope's view of the Pillars of Creation (left) in the Eagle Nebula reveals details about the plentiful dust in and around the iconic object. Meanwhile, the James Webb Space Telescope's near-infrared image of the Pillars of Creation (right) largely cuts through that visible-light-obscuring dust, revealing numerous young red stars embedded within the Pillars.
