Space Week isnt over yet!

Picture clouds—not drifting across our skies, but stretching across space itself, cradling the birth of new stars. That"s exactly what NASA"s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed in its view of the Pillars of Creation—shown here—with colors and details unlike anything seen before.
