The Pillars of Creation no longer exist. In 2007, the astronomers announced that they were destroyed about 6,000 years ago by the shock wave from a supernova. Because of the limited speed of light, the shock wave’s approach to the pillars can currently be seen from Earth, but their actual destruction will not be visible for another millennium.
This is so interesting. :D Yet so sad… :(
