The stunning image is credited as ©NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team and is more correctly entitled Eagle Nebula (detail). This is a photograph taken c2005 in celebration of Hubble's 15th anniversary. The ESA site quotes: For Hubble's 15th anniversary, scientists used the newer ACS camera to revisit one region of the eerie-looking Eagle Nebula, producing a new image with stunning detail. The new Eagle Nebula image reveals a tall, dense tower of gas being sculpted by ultraviolet light from a group of massive, hot stars. The new Whirlpool Galaxy image showcases the spiral galaxy's classic features, from its curving arms, where newborn stars reside, to its yellowish central core that serves as home for older stars.
