Some 6,500 light years from Earth lies the realm of the Star Queen: The Eagle Nebula. It is a vast spacescape that has given birth to thousands of stars and may give rise to thousands more in cosmic EGGs filled with an albumen of dust and gas. It contains structures light years in size that resemble mythical beasts. It is the location of the Pillars of Creation, one of the most beautiful and famous astronomical images ever captured, pillars that are eroding like stones in a swift river. Let's tour this favorite target of astrophotographers and astronomers everywhere.
