00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:11,669
the eagle nebula so this is these

3
00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,400
pillars sometimes grandiosely called the

4
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:17,119
pillars of creation you see these

5
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:19,439
pillar-like objects or structures

6
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:22,560
pointing to new stars

7
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:24,480
we know these dense regions would be the

8
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:27,119
prime location for stars to form there's

9
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:28,800
a lot of dense material there that's how

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:31,039
stars form they form from coalescing

11
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:33,730
clumps of dense gas and dust

12
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:36,000
[Music]

13
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,760
but with visible light we can't see into

14
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:39,520
those pillars very well

15
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,000
now hubble has this wonderful capability

16
00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:44,160
with its camera of seeing not only

17
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,399
visible light but seeing some infrared

18
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:48,960
light infrared light can penetrate into

19
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:51,360
some of these dusty regions and so if

20
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:53,039
you look at the eagle nebula as we did

21
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,719
with hubble in visible light and

22
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,280
infrared light we can compare those

23
00:01:02,549 --> 00:00:59,440
images and the infrared light shows us

24
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,559
what it's like inside those pillars and

25
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:04,400
we can actually see hot spots where

26
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:07,119
stars proto-stars are coming together

27
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:09,040
and forming in the pillars and at the

28
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,880
very tips of the pillars where we have

29
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,960
these denser clumps of gas

30
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:14,799
that shows why it's so important to have

31
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:17,600
these different eyes if you will eyes to

32
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:20,240
the visible light but eyes as hubble has

33
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:21,360
to

34
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,080
energetic ultraviolet light all of this

35
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,640
gives us some information that differs

36
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:30,960
but is complementary about things like

37
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:33,060
star formation
