The Pillars of Creation, which Hubble telescope first photographed in 1995, hasn’t existed for nearly 6,000 years. This is because right now we can see a cloud of dust expanding towards it. At the rate it is happening, it would have been destroyed about 6000 years ago. Since they are 7000 light years away, we won’t see it getting destroyed for another 1000 years.
