Screenshot from nebula Wikipedia page:  The "Pillars of Creation" from the Eagle Nebula. Evidence from the Spitzer Space Telescope suggests that the pillars may already have been destroyed by a supernova explosion, but the light showing us the destruction will not reach the Earth for another millennium.[1]ALT

btw . insane little wikipedia caption for everyone’s consideration also

like IMAGINE just writing in a caption casually that maybe the pillars of CREATION are already destroyed we just can’t see it yet.. the light of the day that creation is destroyed has not yet dawned on earth what the helllll
