Also how the Hubble Telescope almost didn't come to be and would have been the biggest failure for NASA.
It did fail. The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is being passed off as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). You don't actually believe they fixed Hubble do you?

How many parsecs is that
Those structures are about 1 parsec tall. 3.25 light years = 1 parsec.

If the pillar is 3 light years tall, how far away from the pillar would the Hubble have to be to capture the entire pillar in one frame?

No picture has ever fundamentally blown my mind more than the galaxies pictures. Seeing that many galaxies in just one portion of the sky really puts the enormity of what's out there in a graspable perspective.

I guess that is taken with a wide angle lens?
