Awe inspiring - can anyone point me to a description of the scale we're looking at? I'm sure it must be unimaginably large. What is the distance between the two top "arms" for example?
Edit: easier to find than I imagined and Good Lord! https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/8tfo8i/the_amazing_scale_of_the_pillars_of_creation/ https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/8tfo8i/the_amazing_s... Difficult to comprehend.
- sparrish 4y agoThe photo here has a scale bar. https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2022/052/01GF423GBQSK6ANC89NTFJW8VM https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2022/052/01G... Looks to be maybe 2 light years between those two arms.
