To celebrate the return of Magna Carta to the National Archives, we present a discussion on its connection to the American Constitution including its place in the charters of the American colonies, its impact on the era of the Founding Fathers, and its legacy in the context of world constitutionalism.

A. E. Dick Howard, professor of law, University of Virginia, will set the stage and moderate a panel including David M. Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group; Peter Onuf, BackStory Radio’s “18th Century Guy” and professor of history, University of Virginia; Renée Lettow Lerner, associate professor of law, the George Washington University; and Zachary Elkins, associate professor of government, University of Texas at Austin.

These three towers are only a small portion of the massive Eagle Nebula.

Known as the “Pillars of Creation,” the beautiful tendrils of cosmic dust and gas are giving birth to new stars, buried within their spires. This iconic image only shows a stretch of about four or five light-years … while the whole nebula itself spans about 70 by 55 light-years.

You can also keep up with Hubble on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Flickr!
