Newborn stars in the center of the nebula illuminate the surrounding gases with energetic radiation and strong stellar winds that erode the lower-density materials. Higher density materials resist the erosion forming pillars and peaks along the inner edge, especially noticeable in the upper portion of the nebula as oriented in this image.
