ALT A vertical image features a bright, shimmering portion of the Milky Way galaxy above a massive antenna dish. Thousands of white stars in various sizes dot the sky and vertically down the center is the thick concentration of stars glowing from a soft white to a stronger white, pastel purple, and bits of tan. The dish has a reddish hue, and its antenna is pointed upward with the concentration of stars from the Milky Way almost appearing to flow out of the dish.

ALT Hubble's visible-light view of the Pillars of Creation shows dark pillars that rise from the bottom to the top of the screen, ending in three points. The background is opaque, set off in yellow and green toward the bottom and blue and purple at the top. A handful of stars of various sizes appear.
