Images of a vibrant nebula, where new stars are formed, were captured with assistance from telescopes in the UAE.

In a celebration of collaboration and teamwork, a group of astronomers from Jordan, the UAE, and the US have unveiled a breathtaking new image of the Eagle Nebula, showcasing the universe's cosmic artistry in vivid detail.

Located approximately 7,000 light-years away in the Serpens constellation, the Eagle Nebula is a star-forming region renowned for its iconic 'Pillars of Creation'. This latest image, captured using modest equipment, demonstrates the power of human ingenuity and collaboration in revealing the grandeur of the universe.

The image was captured by a team of four Jordanian astronomers: George Al-Lahham, Muktham Abu Al-An, Haitham Hamdi, and Ammar Al-Sakji. The team pooled their skills and passion for the skies, with smart telescopes set up in Jordan, the UAE, and the US working in sync.

The image was created by stitching together 3,532 individual frames, each lasting 10 seconds, for a total of 9 hours, 48 minutes, and 40 seconds of exposure time. Haitham Hamdi, a member of the team, then processed the image, bringing raw images to life and showcasing the nebula's intricate details.

The Eagle Nebula, also known as the M16 Nebula, is a popular target for astronomers due to its richness in stars, gas, and dust, providing a unique opportunity to study the formation of new stars. This latest image offers a closer look at this cosmic canvas, revealing swirling clouds of gas and dust, bright stars, and the faint outlines of the 'Pillars of Creation'.

This collaboration proves that curiosity and teamwork can indeed bring the cosmos closer to us all. As we continue to explore the universe, we are reminded of the beauty and mystery that lies beyond our planet, and the potential for groundbreaking discoveries when we work together.

It's worth noting that Elizabeth Gonzales, a Digital Journalist who writes about the expat life and gives real laughs at her stand-up comic events, was not involved in this astronomical endeavour. However, her work continues to bring a unique perspective to various topics, bringing us closer to understanding the world around us in her own way.
