- New Views of the Pillars of Creation
Presented by Dr. Frank Summers, Space Telescope Science Institute
One of Hubble's most famous images was taken in 1995. The iconic "Pillars of Creation" shows the tall and beautiful gaseous pillar structures that can form inside star-forming regions. Within these dark clouds, stars are being born. Hubble kicked off its 25th anniversary year in 2015 with some images that used its improved cameras to revisit these beautiful pillars. This larger, higher resolution, and expanded wavelength examination uncovered new details, new features, and new perspectives on a classic image.

Hubble Goes High Def to Revisit the Iconic 'Pillars of Creation'

Show Notes:
-- Most will remember that there was an initial flaw in Hubble's mirror that was corrected in 1993. After that repair mission, it took some time for the public to recognize just how amazing Hubble's views of the universe really were. The 'Pillars of Creation' image, released in November 1995, was a watershed in that regard. The image was shown on television news and reproduced in newspapers and magazines everywhere. The widespread attention helped certify Hubble's status to the public as the pre-eminent observatory of our time.
-- The "teapot" in Sagittarius is not the full constellation. It is a star pattern, called an "asterism," within the larger collection of connected stars that makes up the entire constellation. One can search online to see the full Sagittarius constellation as it depicts the archer. A similar asterism is the Big Dipper, which is a star pattern within the constellation of Ursa Major.
-- The visible and infrared views of astronomical objects are generally similar enough that one can identify common structures between the views. When using other wavelengths, like X-rays or radio waves, it can be very hard to identify how the two different wavelength views correspond. Astronomers must record the exact sky coordinates of an image in order to be able to precisely compare against views by other telescopes and in other wavelengths.
-- In 2005, for Hubble's 15th anniversary, we released an image of another pillar in the Eagle Nebula (hubblesite.org/newscenter/arch.... This pillar has a long, thin profile that earned it the nickname of a "stellar spire." As seen in this contextual image (hubblesite.org/newscenter/arch..., the two pillar regions are near each other in the nebula and both point toward the same group of hot stars.
Hi, this is Dr Frank Summers. I hope you have enjoyed this video. We are working to produce more of these this year. Please tag me when asking questions and I will try to answer them here, on my social media posts, or on my blog (which I will also try to do more on this year). Thank you for your polite feedback.
+Frank Summers Hi Dr. Frank. Usually I am trolling on youtube, but your work is too good for that.
Hopefully you are voting for Trump so your great work can continue.
+Frank Summers Great work keep it up doc
Are these different images or cleaned up resolution? the pillars look exactly the same only clearer.
Casey Klat The images are different. The new ones are clearer because they were taken with an improved instrument that has better resolution.
Frank Summers beautiful stuff, thank you.
Frank: Tiny little pillars!
Tiny little pillars: *_are bigger than our solar system by an unfathomable proportion_*
YEET
Gargantuan is the right word i think .
7:51 our solar system would roughly fit in 10 times into the growth of that jet (* calculated with pluto's avg orbit, and it it's 8.5 times to be exact)
@@zerge83 I was talking about 8:46, which I found to be about 50-100 times as large (minimum case- maximum case) using pluto's orbit to be 80 au in diameter (Wikipedia), and the entire structure to be 4-5 light-years (from NASA). Even so, 10 times is enormous, especially given that volume scales to the third power, so 10x linearly is 10^3 = 1000x volumetrically. Of course, the boundary of the solar system is ill-defined since gravity doesn't have a hard cut off, so depending on the definition, the solar system can be as big as 6 light-years across if you count the very farthest Oort cloud objects, where our sun's gravity is so weak that it has to fight other stars for the orbits of objects, or as small as ~60 au if you only count planets (going out to Neptune).
It’s just a dust cloud. Size is of no relevance
I volunteer at a astronomy club in Iowa. We have several large scopes, 14" to 24" in size. When I turn one of them on the Eagle nebula, and show people the Hubble pictures..they gasp in awe, as do I. Thank you, Hubble.. 😊
This always blows my mind and it makes me happy to live in a time where this is possible to be seen but also new enough to be this fascinating.
Don't know if your going to see this or not, a lot changes in 4 years. You think all this is amazing, what if I told you that everything you see here isn't what it seems to be. I promise you this isn't some conspiracy theory but more a beautiful masterpiece of what just might be Heaven though im really not sure its actually Heaven although it sure looks beautiful enough to be. However, it could be a whole other real form of life thats all being hidden behind a wall of purposely put smoke and fog. I cant say exactly what life form is here but whatever it is, is gorgeous beyond comprehension.
I don't know if you've awakened or not. If not then you are missing out on so much. If you're ever interested in the awake process just look it up here on CZcams. Type in...Easy way to the awaken process.
If you are awake thats awesome!
Either way what I'm saying here is were being lied to. I don't know if this man in the video is oblivious to everything or if he does know but can't say anything. Either way there is so so so much more than meets the eyes. God Bless.
I just do not know how to make money from the information in this video.
Print T-shirts? The Wealthy are already doing that. I need a job to stay alive.
It is sad that an organised society in the 21-st century makes people working for a minimum wage unable to afford a house despite them putting a lot of energy which, surely, is enough for building a house if outside of an organised society. Sad human society, badly organised.
@@reasonerenlightened2456 You're not very enlightened if you're living your life on a minimum wage. Even burger flipper jobs have raises and promotions, so either you're lazy, living on gubmint handouts, or you're making shift up.
I giggled when he said Webb was going to launch in 2018 😂
giggled? I said swear words ;)
2020, still waiting. As long as they get it right, the wait will be worth it.
@@nmcgunagle i think it will be closer to 3020
And i did as well ~ May 2020
When it shows the first images the force of all the boners popping will destroy the universe.
Those pillars look breathtaking. So refreshing to hear all of this awesome science stuff from a real Astronomer who actually knows what he's saying, as opposed to some schmuck on CZcams pretending to be scientist. Too many of those out there...
You must be referring to D news.
J Garcia and a few armchair scientists too
+TheGodParticle
Lol,armchair experts are all over youtube
Calm down
The sun is not a star. Hubble doesn't exist.
I wanna wallpaper my my whole house with Hubble's IR!
No other machine has expanded our understanding of the size and age of our Universe as expansively. I can't wait to see what the JWT will add to Hubel's legacy of on orbit astronomy!
These images are so mind blowing to me. To think that they were taken 19 years apart and that in that long of time, (on an Earthly scale of time that is), that literally nothing has changed. We here on Earth think of expanding gas clouds to be something very fluid and almost instantaneously dissipated, but the enormity of these "Pillars of Creation" is beyond most of our comprehension. Loved this video. Thank you.
Tawnku Imi-Uru
I believe they were taken nineteen years apart, not five.
1995 & 2014 respectively.
@@KevinR1138 Thank you...duly noted and now corrected.
Those infrared photos are my favorite, it's amazing how the stars shine.
Teapot moment followed by the most satisfied camera stare I have ever seen. Absolute gold.
Coming here in 2020, still waiting on that JWST -_-
isn't it 2022 now? or '24
@@incription currently October 2021. It’s hilarious how some things age so poorly
@@Vadnarr That's good, I don't want them to rush it. This is a one shot thing
@@incription definitely agree. I just think it’s funny how far it’s been pushed lol
Hubble has been a great improvement and a credit to astronomy. It is one of the best educational ideas that ever came true.
Smoke stack? Dude, that's E.T.'s glowing-healy-disco finger if I ever saw it.
Since I was born in the early 50's we have looked deep into space and explored most of the solar system. I hope I live long enough to see a Moon and Mars base being constructed.
How are you Johnnyp?
Thank you dr.Summers. For years the Pillars of Creation amazed me every day, it's an on-screen saver on my computer.
Seeing those pillars with stars that appear absolutely tiny in comparison certainly makes it easier to see how quasars and the like obtain the huge amount of matter they need to form. That is a positively mind blowing amount of "stuff." Those stars appear to be little pin size dots of light. Thank you for all the amazing images.
While we are waiting for James Webb, let's pay our respects to a fallen giant. RIP Aricebo. 💜
Aye. We lost a one-of-a-kind instrument, the likes of which we'll not see again.
Thank You Dr. Summers, and May the force be with you.
My mom was part of the team that built the guidance system for the Hubble telescope.
cool
I met a guy who was working on CCD camera stuff for satellites. I asked him how many photons to be detected. He grinned and said excitedly, "One!"
I'm looking for wall size of this ... Amazing! Thank you Dr.
If you take your life expectancy and add a day to it....
That is when the James Webb space telescope launch will happen.
Thank you Dr. Frank for taking time to show the public these very cool Hubble images!. Glad to hear more are coming.
The infrared light image was stunning. This is amazing, I know it was years ago but I love it and I can't wait for the next ultra high res images. Thank you Dr Summers
Just another moment of breathtaking beauty!
Thank you Mr. Summers for showing us and a easy to understand explanation of what we see! Hope you are still sharing these on you tube. Very educational!
My husband a PhD level scholar got me interested in science , astronomy is the most exciting of fields. Matching those images with his long talks during our long drives (sometimes too long) makes it even more exciting.
More of these series, please! and ofc amazing explanation, thanks.
Thank you this much, Sir. You will never know, how much you gave to me with this video, and with Hubble. I love Hubble, as if it would be a member of my Family, and I could cry for weeks if I would let methink about I will have to part soon. I will never feel the same for the new telescope, and I am not ashamed to tell this. I know, you will understand me, I know you all at the Nasa feel for your work, too :) I am so happy you are in the world.
(In memoriam of Carl Sagan. He is still with you for me, and so is my Mother, which brought me into the world, and then into the space, too :) )
I know what you mean. Although I have never worked on either Hubble or the Voyager probes, I am very proud of them as a citizen of earth.
Dang bud let me buy you a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The least I could do. Tell us what you know before you check out.
Idiots
Mark Law yer fonny, oh great genius...
Thank you so very much for the video and your description of this..structure?...this has to be the most detailed explanation I've ever heard..lol..every time I gain a greater grasp of the meaning of insignificance...Since my knowledge of the matters is so slight compared to many here about this..WOW!!..will have to do for now.
Absolutely loved this! Looking forward to seeing more!
Creation in Action:
LIFE IN A micro-second.
FASCINATING WONDERMENT indeed!!
Thank you Dr. Summers
I wish he would come to my local university and give a lecture. He is so interesting. I like him because he makes it very easy to understand. I have always been fascinated with space and I would love him in person!
6:12 The star at the top of the pillar looks like it has an accretion jet!
I’m so glad I found this channel. What a wealth of information about the cosmos. Truly mind boggling. Thank you so so much!!
Double, triple, quadruple, astronomy is magnifico!
2:34
Where can I get *THAT* image? When I search "pillars of creation" on the hubble site, I only got two images. Searching "eagle nebula" and "m16" produce a few more, but not that particular image. :(
That blew my mind. I feel I've learned a bunch today.
Yes and when he said that the 60 million pixels are available to the public for download, I almost wanted to cry.
I just do not know how to make money from the information in this video.

James Webb launching in 2018?
It's July 2019 now and it still hasn't gone up.
Will it ever?
Amen, I have been wondering that myself.
2022
SeriousFox
For now....
I’m from the year 2093, i’m the only shit poster left. We’ve returned to the stone age, Webb is still not launched.
No doubt some of your words are correct but this JW device does no actually need to be launched. Government monies do not actually need to produce anything usable. The money is spent, producing positive effects on the economy and tax $ will be generated whether the end product ever actually returns a penny or not. Governments can operate in this manner because they can not actually run out of money (via taxes).
--
This applies to every cent spent on this device up until the moment it is turned on. So what if the on-0ff switch fails? Do we take back all the monies spent on it for how long? No.
I fucking love NASA, Hubble, Dr. Frank Summers and everyone revealing how fascinating this Universe is.
Absolutely fascinating. And thanks for the image downloads. They're amazing.
someone needs to make a glow in the dark poster of this with the infrared portion the glowing part
@@LegendLength Why not?
LegendLength hell yeah!
its astounding that they were 4 light years in length and what we see is 7000 years old ; so have these 'pillars' disappeared altogether from the solar wind from those stars? When Dr Summers said that the suns jet had traveled 60 billion miles and it looked like just 1/8 th of an inch on the photo. Well, four light years long and that is what 60 billion miles looks like. Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read somewhere the pillars got destroyed over a thousand years ago by a massive supernova.
13:58 Finally! Somebody mentions this! I was convinced this as a pair of stars being lensed.
Lmao 6:54, it's Patrick from spongebob when they went back in time!
this is so perfect lol. he's in the stars... watching over us... a pillar of ceration
You're the best, Dr. Frank! 🌌
T.his presentation is more interesting than anything I’ve seen before. My mind is blown by the ex0lanations you give as well as the photographs shown. Thank you so much for this …
this was so awesome!!! thank you so much, ive never heard an in depth explanation of my favorite hubble picture ever.. i wonder what it would be like to stand on a world at a time and looking up at the sky, what would you see?? Cant imagine the wonders of the universe that we will only ever experience with our imaginations... unless you guys invent a warp drive super duper quick:) anyways thanks again , great presentation!
Update: The James Webb Space Telescope launch has been moved back to 2021. :-(
Actually....
Webb launch moved back? Hubble gotchu
Lazy bumps ...
At some point they're gonna have to launch the thing because you could triple check every component a thousand times for reliability and the whole telescope could still blow up during launch and that would put us 10 years behind building another one to replace it. It will never be 100 percent certain that it will be reliable. So launch it.
No doubt some of your words are correct but this JW device does not actually need to be launched. Government monies do not actually need to produce anything usable. The money is spent, producing positive effects on the economy and tax $ will be generated whether the end product ever actually returns a penny or not.

This applies to every cent spent on this device up until the moment it is turned on. So what if the on-0ff switch fails? Do we take back all the monies spent on it for how long? No. Can we reverse all the positive effects on the economy had up to the launch? No.
Its mad crazy seeing infinitesimally small we are in comparison with the even the local galactic neighborhood. I love this stuff.Keep these coming , sir.
Just what I was looking for, detailed explanations of the Hubble pictures that we see in so many documentaries. This video is clear, precise and well presented. Thank you very much for this work, I will watch all other videos from this channel.
Really shows the scale of the size of the galaxy in just this small section! I never could grasp till now!
'It's full of stars!'
Can you tell me why the James Webb telescope is now over 4 years behind schedule which was set to be in orbit in 2014. All of the mirrors were finished late 2014 early 2015 ???? Please do not say because of cost that I do not believe for 1 iota. These pictures are stunning. Thank you for sharing Frank, do you have any information regarding the telescopes that are In space that do have the long wave capabilities.
Pieter allen Master Blue - The budget and whole project was nixed back around 2011 - it exceeded both its budget & timeline at a time that the US budget was focusing on diminishing war efforts. The project was then restored and the budget was doubled (approx.). As of today, the telescope is still on budget and on the timeline for launch in October 2018.
Ms. Jackalope .j. Johnstone Thank you for your reply like I said in January 2015 the last mirror was finished and was finally put into the final edifice (ready for launching). Please I just do not believe that NASA could not afford the fuel. per-say
hst delayed 20 years to be sent in orbit
Pieter allen Master Blue - a LOT of projects were put on hold because of the Iraq War spend. My in-laws who worked for Boeing and at the Kennedy Space Center took early retirement when they started to cut all the programs.
It saddens me that people would rather spend money on war instead of scientific and space exploration.
Anton Brought me here and this was a really good watch!
Anton Petrov is brilliant 😂
Hello wonderful person.
Thank you Dr. Summers for this wonderful presentation!
Fascinating!
Very interesting video! How big are those pillars in lightyears or -months? Thank You for the brilliant work.
@kasom1
About 5 light-years long. About 7000LY away.
They are 7000 light-years tall
5 light years tall.. checked in Hubble's website
Is this same phenomena occurring all over the Milky Way Galaxy in millions of places or is it more rare than that ?
The proto-planetary gas clouds are pretty much the creative force behind all star systems.
I think what's unique about this one is the stellar wind from that nearby cluster of stars. It's dispersed the gases in such a way that allows us to see what's going on inside.
There's probably many just in our galaxy. Orientation is most important. If we were situated "below" it, we'd see something totally different and may not be able to see the pillars at all. So there could be other similar structures that are visible now but we aren't oriented the right way for viewing.
We don't know yet. We can only see things this clearly in our own spiral arm. However it would be hard for me to believe that other spiral arms are not as colorful and gas filled as ours.
While it wouldn't be rare in our universe we don't see them until thousands of years later
The sheer scope of these images boggle the mind.
Thank you for sharing.
Those pillars are full of Gold! 😍
So darn cool! Btw - 136 flat earthers hated this vid.
Tried to think who would downvote a vid like this... you're probably right. Also... i see a few pixels on my phone between arrows. Frank: STAR JET THAT TRAVELED 60 BILLION MILES.
He sure knows his stuff...james Webb launch 2018....
9:05 "I'd guess that these would evaporated away relatively quickly some time in the FUTURE.."
When you're already looking at a thousand/million year old image. :D
At 3:06, he says that picture was taken 20 years ago. WRONG, that same picture has been show since the late 1960s in Science Mag.
My fav Hubble image! And one of my first non-BBS downloads!
One of your first non-BBS downloads? Did you just come out of a fucking coma?
* ring ring*
Hey mrs. Webb it's me, September 2019, can James come out and play? Oh he still grounded? okay bye.
* click*
*James's Mom, It's April 2021 and No Uncle Covid is still stalking everyone, so he's still grounded.
Imagine the depths
the interior regions
darker than the deepest oceans
of myth and legend
what horrors lie there
yet we dare to stare.
Jeff Hester who took the original photo of the Eagle Nebula, is a friend of my wife and I. In fact he was at our wedding. Perhaps one of the most iconic space photos ever. He gets no royalties from it. He didn't even get a citation in this video.
Thought provoking. To think that our sun formed under similar circumstances. Humbling and beautiful images. Thank you for showing me that, Dr S.
Pillars of Creation.......anyone see the Cocker Spaniel? How about the cats?
cyka rush b
Hjembrent Kent Why do you say that. Who is bitch? Why cuss?
Its an in game joke from CS:GO. Whit many Russians in low rank matches and many are bad at English, they would scream "rush B cyka blyat" or something like that.
Swesen3D But why use cuss words? Not everyone thinks that way. However, I am fluent in English, I wold have no reason to cuss unless excited or abused. I do welcome a good debate.
It has nothing to do with you more than he probably saw that your name was written in the Russian alphabet. He probably plays CS:GO and its a common joke among the players when they see that someone is Russian to say something like that. CS:GO is a multiplayer game and is very popular in Russia so a big part of the player base is Russian, and the first things you usually learn from a language when talking to teenagers is many cuss words, like idi nahui, cyka bliet, kurwa from Polish, puta from Spanish and so on. If you like you can watch some videos from "Life of Boris" and you will understand, mostly the language videos or the country reviews.
12:02 Evangelion head.
Dr Summers thank you for the amazing images and easy to follow explanations. Expect to see Star Trek burst thru a gas cloud doing warp speed. Mind Blowing to see this weird stuff out there in cosmos. Presume visible light image is an unfiltered image?
those 2 arrows indicating the distance traveled of the new born star at half a million miles an hour was so miniscule between the 2 photos was crazy
Please continue Hubble's Universe Unfiltered series. Great job sir. It's great to see theoretical information in real world in all your videos.
He was so proud of his tea pot joke.
That's what u got out of this great informative video?
@Frank Summers You bring the universe closer and closer year by year! Thanks for the excellent work and videos you share with the public :)
I wonder when the new higher resolution infrared images of the Pillars of Creation will be available?
For the record, no one has ever witnessed a star being "born"
SKMC69 ...for the record...we are witnessing it as you type.
"JWT launching in 2018" lol nope.
Love the infrared ghostly look :D
Magic! Can’t wait for JWTS to explore more mysteries.
Anyone else see a little pillar giving us the finger?
Its for religious nuts snd tinfoil hat wearing conspiratards.
came here for creationists' comments. Probably too early.
+Krešimir Jurilj how you figure ? no matter where man goes , looks
God has already been there ! :)
Joe Stitz are you trolling?
Krešimir Jurilj
truth is never trolling. so No.
Joe Stitz your claims are the polar opposite of truth.
Krešimir Jurilj
you have no clue to what truth is. Truth is living righteously, as God desires us to do.
Go read scripture, his word !
Thank you Sir! Thoroughly enjoyed it! You made it so easy to understand the different wavelengths and the main benefits of the differences in the two wavelengths.
I love that they opened with drum and bass
The only concern I have is your statement that stars are forming inside the Pillars of Creation. This is pure speculation.
Stunningly....... photoshop..
@15:24 What we see in the middle image of the pillars of creation is this: The right pillar is a small dog (a Westie) jumping up to its to owner, grabbing onto their hand. The owner is wearing a hoodie with the hood over their head. Behind them is Johnny 5 (short circuit). At the bottom of the image we can see large dog (likely a Labrador) looking towards the right of the screen.
Catchy little drum beat in the into reminds me of waiting for a traffic light .
The Lord created all things
my pillar is also creational
You could also overlay the visible light image with the infrared image opaqued to whatever degree and then the resolution difference wouldn't matter as much..
11:38 we are halfway through 2020 and still awaiting the much much anticipated launch of the JWST scheduled for March 2021!
so they can take pics like this but i cant get a real pic of earth lol
first time I heard a man who doesn't know Google Earth
You can look up videos of Earth from the international space station.
or mars or the moon, so TRUE, and how about how much stupid time this guy goes on about the technology involved in a moderate degree of enhancement like EINSTEINs lost papers have been found while addressing the meaning is a long time coming, plus it's obvious this guy will repeat any dogma served up to him , true , false, CIA talking points, don't matter to this prick.
go look at this picture of Pluto. it looks like a blurry, moldy orange. hahaha
the don't fkn watch you idiot
With new technology astrophotographers are taking pictures of the Pillars almost as good as Hubble. Quite remarkable really. See the Backyard Astronomer's channel here on YT. He took a picture of the Pillars that show quite a bit of what the Hubble picture shows using a telescope mounted in his backyard. It isn't even a big telescope, just good camera and optics.
Amazing.. Respect from India 🇮🇳
What mind boggling stuff this is! Very cool. I can see how you could spend many lifetimes just studying this. Appreciate the presentation.
I'm wearing the inredibly beautiful sombrero galaxie on my head 24/7 - 365 days in our solar system years.
:-) Wow, where have i been? This is wonderful. Absolutely brilliant. Many many thanks!
Finally! Please start making these again! :))
+Galaxia Yes, we are working on it.
rigel
Stop pulling away from the images damn it!
Seriously, every time I get to appreciate the higher resolution comparison it pulls back to you before I can get a good look!
pause button?
C F
Yes, but I’m interested in what he’s saying, I just want the image to stay a on screen a bit longer so I don’t have to pause so much.
The close up image he’s telling us to marvel at only stays on screen 6 seconds at most.
My favorite film is Contact.This Image appears at the beginning of the film and I always thought it was a tribute to Carl Sagan who was the writer.I thought it was Carl holding a dog !! Now I know :)
Have you heard of Katya Zamolodchikova?
