Webb captures image of the Pillars of Creation that looks like the hand of the Grim Reaper reaching out from the very soul of the universe.
NASA’s Webb telescope captured an image of the Pillars of Creation that looks like the hand of the Grim Reaper reaching out from the very soul of the universe. The pillars were first made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope back in 1995.Webb recently captured the Pillars of Creation with its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), showcasing the interstellar gas and dust that make up the eerie columns. In that image, young stars that regularly shoot out supersonic jets that collide with clouds of material can be seen as wavy lines, appearing like lava at the edges of some of the pillars. NASA just released a new image captured of the pillars by Webb, this time with its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), and it is rather fitting for the Halloween holiday.
