The pillars are that "hand" in the middle. It's a famous photo taken by Hubble telescope in 1995. "These elephant trunks had been discovered by John Charles Duncan in 1920 on a plate made with the Mount Wilson Observatory 60-inch telescope"
Usually they're shown more zoomed in(newer photo from 2014) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Pillars_of_creation_2014_HST_WFC3-UVIS_full-res_denoised.jpg
