| | To fit in as many projects as possible, objects often are imaged in just one or two filters, too few to make striking three-color images like the Eagle. | | | To overcome the barriers, I proposed a program that would give priority to producing the best possible images from Hubble. | | | This wide-field image of the Eagle Nebula was taken at the National Science Foundation's 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak with the NOAO Mosaic CCD camera. |

| | And to the south-east, the head of Column 4 (Photo 37e/01) shows complex red nebulosity which the astronomers take to be the signpost of very young objects, so deeply embedded that they are not directly detected in the VLT images. | | | Through imaging at infrared wavelengths, evidence has been found for recent star formation in the so-called "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula (also known as Messier 16), made famous when the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) obtained spectacular visible-wavelength images of this object in 1995. | | | Ripped prematurely from the cloud, they will be cut off from the reservoir of material from which they grew, and thus may end up smaller than would otherwise be expected. |
