M16 - The Eagle Nebula

M16 - also known as The Eagle Nebula is an area of intense star formation being fueled by the massive dust and Hydrogen gas clouds.
M16 is located in the constellation of Serpens and is at a distance of about 7000 light-years from Earth.
The gas clouds are aglow due to the fact that they are ionized from intense energy given of by newly formed stars within.
Newly formed stars are visibe above the dark pillar-like regions of this nebula.
