Fly Through Orion Nebula
NASA released this new video today (11th January 2018), which was created by astronomers and visualization specialists from its Universe of Learning program. These experts have combined visible and infrared images from the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to create a three-dimensional, fly through Orion Nebula, a fuzzy patch in your sky tonight, really a place where new stars are forming.
Video: Fly Through Orion Nebula
Astronomers and visualization specialists at NASA have just released this unprecedented, 3D, fly-through view of the Orion Nebula, a nearby star-forming region.
Space Telescope Science Institute’s visualization scientist Frank Summers, who led the team that developed the movie, said:
Being able to fly through Orion Nebula’s tapestry in 3D gives people a much better sense of what the universe is really like. By adding depth and structure to the amazing images, this fly-through helps elucidate the universe for the public, both educating and inspiring.
3D Journey Through the Orion Nebula - The Full Story
Astronomers and visualization specialists from NASA’s Universe of Learning program have combined the visible and infrared vision of the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to create an unprecedented, three-dimensional, fly-through view of the picturesque Orion Nebula, a nearby star-forming region.Viewers experience this nearby stellar nursery “close up and personally” as the new digital visualization ferries them among newborn stars, glowing clouds heated by intense radiation, and tadpole-shaped gaseous envelopes surrounding protoplanetary disks.
Using actual scientific imagery and other data, combined with Hollywood techniques, a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and the Caltech/IPAC in Pasadena, California, has created the best and most detailed multi-wavelength visualization yet of this photogenic nebula. The fly-through enables people to experience and learn about the universe in an exciting new way.
