Young Stars Form In 'The Pillars Of Creation' As Seen By The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera By Nasa

As a Physics student, I learn some pretty neat things. Like Space Dust travels (in general) around 40-50 miles per second). The Pillars of Creation, as you can see, made up of "space dust", and the general shape has not changed since we first discovered them. Let's say from Hubble's first image of them (1995) to now (2023) some 28 years, at 40-50 miles per second... and yet the shape has not changed. If you want a tiny example of just how big space is, just take this into consideration.
