Ammon News - Four Jordanian astronomers—George Lahham, Maktham Abu Allan, Haitham Hamdi, and Ammar Sakaji—carried out a scientific experiment to observe and photograph the Eagle Nebula (M16) using smart telescopes distributed across Jordan, the UAE, and the United States.

The experiment combined 9 hours, 48 ​​minutes, and 40 seconds of exposure, with 3,532 exposures of 10 seconds each.

The final image was processed by astronomer Haitham Hamdi.

Those in charge of the experiment emphasized that it reflects the spirit of collective teamwork, noting that it is a first step in the right direction and cannot be compared to images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope or the James Webb Telescope.

The Eagle Nebula (M16) is one of the most fascinating cosmic vistas. It lies approximately 7,000 light-years away, according to NASA data, in the constellation Serpentes. It houses the legendary Pillars of Creation, massive columns of gas and dust in the interior of which new stars are forming.
