Mountains of Creation
The Spitzer Space Telescope recently released this image of the eastern part of a region named W5 in the constellation Cassiopeia. The image reveals pillar-like structures similar to those imaged by the HST in the Eagle Nebula in 1995, a result of cool star-forming gas and dust regions sculpted by radiation and wind emanating from nearby massive stars.

So these are EGG's too presumably? The pic that this leads to (the 1995 Hubble pic) is awesome!
