The Eagle Nebula
M16 in Serpens Cauda
is one of the better known emission nebulae near the heart of the Milky Way.
The Eagle's talons at center are more commonly called The Pillars of Creation, a name popularized by the famous Hubble Space Telescope image.
For me, this amazing feature is a dinosaur-like monster. Perhaps you see him too?
Scattered throughout the hydrogen gas are the dark Bok globules also indicative of star birth.
