The pillars (a region of the <a title=\"Stellar Spire in the Eagle Nebula\" href=\"https:\/\/3scape.com\/pic\/9203\/Stellar-spire-in-the-Eagle-Nebula\" rel=\"noopener\">Eagle Nebula<\/a>, or M16) have been photographed in near-infrared light as well as visible light. The infrared view transforms the pillars into eerie, wispy silhouettes seen against a background of myriad stars. That&#8217;s because the infrared light penetrates much of the gas and dust, except for the densest regions of the pillars. Newborn stars can be seen hidden away inside the pillars. The new images are being unveiled at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle, Washington (<a title=\"Hubble News Release\" href=\"http:\/\/hubblesite.org\/newscenter\/archive\/releases\/nebula\/2015\/01\/full\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">read full release<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Available immediately are the largest <a title=\"Pillars of Creation fine art prints\" href=\"https:\/\/3scape.com\/sec\/73\/375\/NASA-JPL-Space-Images\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fine art prints<\/a> yet of these beautiful images, in both square and tall crop ratios.
