Easily one of the most beautiful photos ever, “Pillars Of Creation” was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on April 1, 1995. It is a giant nebula over 7,000 light years away from Earth, that acts as a “stellar nursery” for new stars. The “pillars” are massive clouds of hydrogen gas and dust illuminated by nearby newborn stars. Just about everyone in the world would recognize this photo, although some may not be exactly sure what it is!
