This region of active current star formation is about 7000 light-years from us and the tower of gas that can be seen coming off the nebula is approximately 9.5 light-years or about 90 trillion kilometers long.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-172\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/13thstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/eagle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-172\" src=\"http:\/\/13thstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/eagle-300x288.jpg\" alt=\"Eagle Nebula (NGC 6611)\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/13thstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/eagle-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/13thstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/eagle.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Eagle Nebula (NGC 6611)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a very short 5x180s integration with no noise reduction applied.
