The image of the Eagle nebula was used on the TV show "Star Trek: Voyager". It was used as a backdrop in the "Astrometrics Lab" where Seven of Nine used to do whatever it was she did.

This would appear to be an internal process, independent of a companion star. I'm a history major. What am I missing? Thanks al...
