For the first time photographed in 1995 it awakened our imagination of how beautiful the cosmos can be

and then Adrien Maduit who was also involved with the whole project added his final touches to make it as good as it can get for this data (mainly final gradient and color corrections)

Pillars of Creation JWST - Panorama Medium:Canvas Hester (Arizona State University)The Pillars of Creation are set off in a kaleidoscope of color in NASAs James Webb Space Telescopes near infrared light view. The pillars look like arches and spires rising out of a desert landscape, but are filled with semi transparent gas and dust, and ever changing. This is a region where young stars are forming or have barely burst from their dusty cocoons as they continue to form. Along the edges of the pillars are wavy lines that look like lava.
