The Eagle Nebula is a region rich in stellar formation, with the cluster NGC 6611, between 1 million and 2 million years old and containing the hot, bright blue O-type and B-type stars at its heart. As these new stars formed, stellar winds tore at the surrounding gas, carving out the iconic shape of the Pillars, where the denser pockets of dust and gas inside resisted the erosive forces. The three tall fingers stretch out into space, the longest of which measures some four light-years.
