Background information:
The Universe is far and wide, containing many wondrous phenomena. One of these phenomena are black holes, often at the center of galaxies. They’re objects of huge mass and unimaginable gravity, pulling anything in that goes beyond the event horizon for it to never return. It wasn’t until recently that our understanding of these objects was mostly science fiction, but with new discoveries humanity has been getting a step closer towards unlocking their secrets.
The Pillars of Creation is a set of pillars shaped interstellar gas and dust formations in the Eagle Nebula. The name originates from the fact that the gas and dust, together, form new stars, referring towards the creation part. You could say that the pillars depict the starting stage of the stars as we know them today while the black hole represents some stars ultimate fate.
