Doom for Hubble's iconic pillars

[Sticks]

For this morning's touch of doom.....


As reported on the BBC website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6246333.stm)



The three iconic columns of gas and dust pictured in space by the Hubble Telescope in 1995 may have met their end, the US space agency says.

Hubble's image, dubbed the "pillars of creation", has featured in countless papers, magazines and posters.

Now, new data shows the pillars being scorched by an exploding star - and a shockwave has probably torn them apart.
