Is there any info regarding the distances covered in the photograph? I recall seeing similar photos some time ago and the distance from one end to the other was measured in light years(?). Truly remarkable pictures. Thanks for the post.

The Eagle nebula, M16, lies about 6500 light years away, spans about 20 light-years.

Light-year - The distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion (9.46 × 1012) kilometers or 5.88 trillion (5.88 × 1012) miles.

Is there any info regarding the distances covered in the photograph?

The Eagle nebula picture is six light-years wide, so about twelve light-years tall.

"The soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 57 trillion miles high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star."

Is there any info regarding the distances covered in the photograph?

No, not in the Yahoo captions accompanying the photos. Perhaps the NASA or Hubble websites might have more info.
