Much nicer than mine. It gives a much clearer idea of the immense scale involved.
Each single pillar contains multiple star systems.

They are made of gas and heavier compounds from earlier generations of stars and planets.
That's why it's a stellar nursery. Gravity works to bring the interstellar gas and heavier compounds together to form a new generation of stars and planets.
As for why they are lined up in a row, I couldn't really say. Perhaps it's simply an effect of the astronomical forces at work in that region of space. There would be quite a few immense gravitational fields competing against each other in that area.
It would certainly take more than a five year mission to explore, study and understand everything that's going on there.

Thank you, duzit.
Carl Sagan was an absolute genius at doing that sort of thing.
In this day and age, I find that the best one at it is Brian Cox. I believe that he was also heavily influenced by Sagan.
