There is speculation that one or more giant eruptions nearly 10,000 years ago caused the massive nebula, which is 5 light years wide. This image was captured by Hubble.
Life and death of a nebula
This majestic view taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope tells an untold story of life and death in the Eagle nebula, an industrious star-making factory located 7,000 light-years away in the Serpens constellation. The image shows the region's entire network of turbulent clouds and newborn stars in infrared light.

This shot taken by the Spitzer is credited with revealing details of life and death in the Eagle Nebula.
Using infrared light, Spitzer helped capture newborn stars and unstable clouds in the Eagle Nebula.
The Eagle Nebula, a cluster of stars in the Serpens constellation, is thought to be 7,000 light years away.

In this photo, a type of dead star referred to as a pulsar is on full display.
This pulsar is known as 4U 0142+61 and was a massive star before a supernova explosion 100,000 years ago.
This infrared image from Spitzer highlights the buy phone number list magnificent beauty of Perseus, a constellation in the northern sky.
You can see bright pink baby stars that are around three million years old and part of the 300-member IC348 star cluster. The Perseus Nebula appears as a green cloud in the middle of the photo.
In 2017, Spitzer offered a glance of the first known set of habitable zone planets around a single star.
The seven planets discovered are each the size of Earth and could have water — essential to human survival. The images inspired this speculative illustration.
