One of the most iconic photographs ever taken by the Hubble Space Telescope is of the elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula. These pillars of gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars…… and the NASA scientists aptly called the image as the Pillars of Creation…. The imaging was done by a group of astrophotographers who shared the costs of renting the 1 meter scope in the ChileScope Observatory, and we call ourselves SHARA – standing for Shared Remote Astrophotography!!
