THE EAGLE NEBULA

Hello friends, is another beautiful day and today, what do you know about the star birth in an eagle nest? How are stars born? Why are some larger and brighter than others? The telescope may reveal star formation in action, the unique activity in the midst of the eagle nebula, a cloud of gas and dust on our milky way galaxy. The eagle nebula has an appearance of a bird with outstretched wings and talons bared,talons form pillarlike columns that resemble elephant trunk, there, ultraviolet radiation has been ionizing hydrogen molecules, that is , stripping away their electrons. Dozens of small fingers protruding from the ends of the pillars, at the fingertip,condensing gas forms a spherical globules in which stars and planet develop, however growth of these objects are being arrested by strong staller winds from about a hundred infant stars formed from the nebula earlier. The brightest of the stars may be 100,000 times as bright as and eight times as hot as, our sun,their radiation has already apparently eroded thinner parts of the nebula and this process called PHOTOEVAPORATION ,may stall star formation by removing material that would otherwise be swallowed by embryonic stars, in the photograph, the eveporating gas looks like steam rising from the gas-end-dust columns. The resemblance of the dust in the eagle nebula to immense thunderclouds seen on stormy days may fool you into thinking that the dust clouds are not very large,in actuality, each cloud pillar is as long as a flash light originating at one end must travel for nearly a year to reach to each other end, each tiny globule in the image is about the size of our solar system, the nebula is so far away that light from it took about 7,000 years to reach us travelling at a speed of 299,792 kilometres per second,that's means that we are viewing the eagle nebula as it looked before men walked on earth.
