Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to the October 20th Thirsty Thursday edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "Pillars of Creation." Leave it to the Webb Space Telescope to make the old new again. I'll post one of the original Hubble images of this portion of the Eagle Nebula (M16) in a separate comment so you can better compare the two. Simply magnificent.
