Well speak of the devil! Next up on Webb's continuing tour of the Greatest Hits of modern astronomy: The Pillars of Creation.

The cool new poo poo: those bright red flares are from very young stars, which are still burping out hot gas ejections as they settle down. Webb can see into the interior of these dust clouds much better than Hubble. These "pillars" don't look nearly so solid anymore, huh?

Neat!
