Isn't this an incredible image? The Hubble team at NASA and the ESA have revisited this iconic image to mark Hubble's 25th anniversary in orbit. It's actually part of the Eagle Nebula, or M16. The image was taken using Oiii and H-alpha filters to allow light wavelengths of different colours to be seen. I'm a massive fan of the work that Hubble has done over the last 25 years, and I'm looking forward to seeing it's new images in 2015!
