Eagle Nebula
Eagle Nebula: This is one of the best investigated nebula area in the sky, because it is a prototype star generating object. Especially the central part is very well known as the "Pillars of Creation". The Hubble Space Telescope image of this part is one of the most widely published and known Hubble pictures.
Have also a look at the Hi-Res version to investigate the central part closer.
