Pillars of Creation JWST - Panorama science poster 000 lb (140The Pillars of Creation are set off in a kaleidoscope of color in NASAs James Webb Space Telescopes near infrared light view. The pillars look like arches and spires rising out of a desert landscape, but are filled with semi transparent gas and dust, and ever changing. This is a region where young stars are forming or have barely burst from their dusty cocoons as they continue to form. Along the edges of the pillars are wavy lines that look like lava.
