Stellar Nursery – Pillars of Creation, Eagle Nebula. The Pillars of Creation are large, dense masses of dust and interstellar gas (mostly molecular hydrogen) that rise from the stellar nursery of the Eagle Nebula (M16). Here, dense pockets of dust and gas collapse in on themselves to form young stars. The Pillars of Creation are located about 6,500 light-years from Earth, and the left-most pillar has a current length of approximately 4 light-years (a light-year is the distance light travels in one year...about 9.5 trillion km). What is the length of the left-most pillar (in km)? Choose one: ~13.5 trillion km ~38 trillion km ~9.5 trillion km ~2.375 trillion km

Answer:

38 trillion km is the length of the left-most pillar.

Explanation:

Given that the length of the left-most pillar has a current length of 4 light-years approximately.

Length of left-most pillar = 4 light-years

1 light-years = 9.5 trillion kilometers

If there are 9.5 trillion kilometers in 1 light-year,then in 4 light-years will be:

[tex]4\text{light-year}=4\times 9.5\text{trillion km}=38 \text{trillion km}[/tex]

38 trillion km is the length of the left-most pillar.

The length of the left most pillar is 38km.

The question says that the left most pillar has the length that is equal to 4 light years.

The question has given a light year to be = 9.5 trillion

From this value we would be able to solve and get the value of 4 light years.

4 light years = 9.5 trillion kilometers * 4

= 38 trillion kilometers.

This describes the materials that are used for the building of new stars. These are known to go into the space for 4 light years.
