       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

      Explanation: Where do stars form? One place, star forming regions known   
      as "EGGs", are being uncovered at the end of this giant pillar of gas   
      and dust in the Eagle Nebula (M16). Short for evaporating gaseous   
      globules, EGGs are dense regions of mostly molecular hydrogen gas that   
      fragment and gravitationally collapse to form stars. Light from the   
      hottest and brightest of these new stars heats the end of the pillar   
      and causes further evaporation of gas and dust -- revealing yet more   
      EGGs and more young stars. This featured picture was created from   
      exposures spanning over 30 hours with the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space   
      Telescope in 2014, and digitally processed with modern software by   
      experienced volunteers in Argentina. Newborn stars will gradually   
      destroy their birth pillars over the next 100,000 years or so -- if a   
      supernova doesn't destroy them first.
