Head of column No. 2 in Eagle Nebula
Enlarged view of the head of Column 2. The bright blue-yellow source embedded in nebulosity near the tip is another young star unseen in the Hubble images: although it appears to be double here, it is in fact just one relatively massive young star surrounding by nebulosity.
Technical information: The region shown measures 1.9 x 2.8 light-years (0.6 x 0.9 pc). The intensity scalings have been adjusted to better show the young stars embedded in the head of each column. North is up and East left.
