Image: 'Pillars of Creation' captured by the James Webb Telescope in 2022. The 'pillars' are approximately 30 trillion miles high and 48 trillion miles wide. Yet, they are less than 7% the size of the Eagle nebula in which they are located. The pillars look like arches and spires rising out of a desert landscape, but are filled with semi-transparent gas and dust, and ever changing. This is a region where young stars are forming – or have barely burst from their dusty cocoons as they continue to form. (NASA)
“Teilhard de Chardin, philosopher and theologian, scientist, paleontologist, mystic and Jesuit priest, profoundly absorbed the Ignatian vision of ‘finding God in all things’ and extended it to the furthest reach of the cosmos.
