... The Eagle Nebula in Infrared . ... Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech /N. Flagey (IAS/ SSC ) A. Noriega-Crespo ( SSC/Caltech ) Explanation: In visible light, the whole thing looks like an eagle . The region was captured recently in unprecedented detail in infrared light by the robotic orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope (SSC). Shown above , the infrared image allows observers to peer through normally opaque dust and so better capture the full complexity of the Eagle Nebula star forming region. ...
