Supposedly (there is some dispute) the pillars were destroyed 6000 years ago by a supernova. So these would not be so impressive close up.
It seems that there would be ample opportunity for Traveller ships to be hired by astrophysicists to travel to a space anomaly to study it close up. Some possible risk as well.

Hubble re-imaged the famous ‘Pillars of Creation’ region of the Eagle Nebula in higher resolution than in 1995 (gee that long ago!). Spectacular pictures…
Those ‘pillars' are very nearly J2 high. (5 LY) I imagine they might be really spectacular a jump away
