   Explanation: Yes, but have you ever experienced the Eagle Nebula with
   your ears ? The famous nebula, [14]M16, is best known for the feast it
   gives your eyes, highlighting bright young stars forming deep inside
   [15]dark towering structures. These [16]light-years long columns of
   cold gas and [17]dust are some 6,500 light-years distant [18]toward the
   constellation of the Serpent ([19]Serpens). Sculpted and eroded by the
   energetic [20]ultraviolet light and powerful winds from [21]M16's
   cluster of massive stars, the cosmic pillars themselves are destined
   for destruction. But the turbulent environment of star formation
   [22]within M16, whose spectacular details are captured in [23]this
   combined [24]Hubble ([25]visible) and Chandra ([26]X-ray) image, is
   likely similar to the environment that formed our own [27]Sun. In the
   [28]featured video, listen for stars and dust sounding off as the line
   of [29]sonification moves left to right, with vertical position
   determining [30]pitch.
