The image shows the Eagle Nebula, which is a star-forming region in the Milky Way galaxy. It is located about 6,500 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Serpens. The nebula is home to many young stars, which are being formed from the gas and dust in the nebula. The most famous feature of the Eagle Nebula is the Pillars of Creation, which are three large columns of gas and dust that are being sculpted by the winds from the young stars.
