they're known as the pillars of creation
but according to recent Spitzer
observations these ghostly apparitions
have already met their own destruction
this is the hidden university Spitzer
Space Telescope exploring the mysteries
of infrared astronomy with your host dr.

this nursery for baby stars is known as
in 16 or the eagle nebula but whether or
not you've heard the name you've likely
seen it before in 1995 the Hubble Space
Telescope gave us the pillars of
creation which has become a truly iconic
image for astronomy now the Spitzer
Space Telescope has exposed the seagulls
infrared to image the pillars
opaque invisible light become Ghostly
transparent columns of blowing dust the
dark spots seen in their tips shed light
or more appropriately shadow on their
formation in regions like this dust
particles are easily destroyed by
ultraviolet light from hot young stars
the dense dust clumps opaque even in the
infrared will road more slowly and
shield the area's behind them columns
emerged impressive but hardly more
substantial than shadows Spitzer has led
astronomers view the eagle nebula in
many different shades and combinations
of infrared light but one of these
observations is hinted at a grim fate
for the pillars Nicholas /a a graduate
student at the Institute astrophysics
speciale endorse a friend's explains
when we use the sound in front a color
image that either obtained from the
eagle named love with you that six of
them just we look exactly almost exactly
the same but one of them 24 my phone
image is completely different from the
other one the oddball warm dust at 24
microns is here seen as read while the
cooler dusted shorter wavelength is blue
green
we will see that the reason test which
is much more hot inside a nebula and to
explain this we get there is a shockwave
that heat the dust and gas that didn't
heat the the pillars of the creation and
to make the shockwave what we think that
there is one of the massive star inside
maybe like that goes on into another
village and his team estimate light from
this Eagle born supernova explosion
would have reached earth one to two
thousand years ago we should see it slow
moving shockwave smash into the fragile
pillars within the next thousand years
but at the end cause i'm going to be
destroyed by the show Krane going to
crumble because some problem banner on
advanced enough to resist show great go
on the end of another creation are going
to peoples and description in fact this
show is a cosmic delayed broadcast of
events that happened long ago the Eagle
nebulas seven thousand light-years away
indicating how long its light takes to
reach us the pillars of creation had
crumbled to dust so to speak
well before the great pyramids were
built but creation and destruction can
be two sides of the same coin and
infrared view reveals baby stars nestled
within the doom pillars stars that will
be exposed when the shockwave brushes
the dust away the same shock wave will
continue to expand through the Eagle
colliding with in compressing other dust
clouds astronomers think this process
can trigger a new generation of star
formation more pillars will arise just
as we've seen throughout our studies of
the Milky Way as a natural stage in the
ongoing lifecycle of stars
the hidden universe is produced by the
Spitzer Science Center at the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena
Spitzer Space Telescope position is
managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory I can't hear about the only
person around it doesn't have TV
coverage of the baby and it meant they
got the black up now you can do it
better than getting a TV picture now
epic fail yet we are gay
