Just the sheer size of the structure is unimaginable. Beautiful picture.

the infrared version is my favorite https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/New_view_of_the_Pillars_of_Creation_%E2%80%94_infrared_Heic1501b.jpg/1024px-New_view_of_the_Pillars_of_Creation_%E2%80%94_infrared_Heic1501b.jpg

EDIT: I looked for a higher resolution version. NASA's website contains the one I posted above, so I don't know if there's an official big version. I found some on various sites that are bigger and this one looked the best to me https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/4b/c7/284bc796de7980441a2566eddce85339.jpg
