According to the Science and Technology Daily, the Pillar of creation is part of the Eagle Nebula, also known as the M16 Nebula, which contains thousands of stars and the dust and cold, dense interstellar gas that nurtures them. The image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on April 1, 1995 was rated by the US Space Network as one of the ten best images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and is still famous today.
