It's sure Amazing. It's so beautiful as well.

Naming it; "The Pillars of Creation" is like swoon worthy.
It reveals the astonishing Majesty of this image because of what it is - a place where stars are formed.

I did notice those bright red areas. Wow.


Funny, though bc I thought I saw a few years back (on line) a little article but with comparison photos showing the more dense starfield! Maaaaybe not quite dense as this converted infrared photo but way more than that first photo.

Another thing I once saw was a video that was made of the broader area where TPOC are located. It zoomed in until it reached TPOC.

It was thrilling! I tried to find it last year but no luck. Maybe I can think of yet another way to phrase my search inquiry. 👍
