One of the most fancy nebulae, in my opinion.
What makes it especially whimsical are its "Pillars of Creation", where stars were born. I must use the past tense here, as the Eagle Nebula was destroyed 6,000 years ago by a supernova... bittersweet-ly, the light from the new nebula won't reach our dreamy earth-eyes for another million years or so. And who knows where we'll be then?
