This week, Dave’s breaking down another pair of deep-sky objects that are situated nicely in the evening sky right now: the Eagle Nebula (M16) and the Omega Nebula (M17). Both of these are large clouds of gas, condensing down to form stars. You’ve probably seen the Eagle Nebula’s most famous feature — the Pillars of Creation — which are an example of such star formation. The Eagle can be challenging due to its low surface brightness, but the Omega Nebula is easy to see under a dark sky with a pair of binoculars or your Celestron telescope.
