Webb Takes Even More Pictures of the Pillars of Creation, This Time in Infrared

Last month, NASA released the first images of the Pillars of Creation taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. These beautiful clouds of interstellar dust are responsible for birthing new stars as the dust collapses in on itself. A few days ago, NASA released another image of the Pillars of Creation taken by Webb, this time using its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
