I couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be to live on a planet that has this as a view in the night sky. Yes, I know these aren't the true colors, but I'm certain there would be variety of shades (& shapes) that would look amazing! ;O)-
the earth, our galaxy, and even the universe is certainly beautiful beyond anything man could ever dream, only god could have came up with anything similar, and personally i am thankful he put such beauty out there for us to study, learn from, and look at every day and night of our lives as we drive to school, work, or step onto our front porch and look up. i am always amazed by him and his work!
It's a nice video but much of the video is CG renditions of a photo so as to add more resolution / effects / stars / gas to make it look pleasing. Good job! Nice when we can use more real footage and still have it look as good.
Nice cartoon. Reminds me of entirely misleading and inaccurate depictions of nebulae from Star Trek. So why no footnote explaining how no radar, camera, or vision can "see" the presence of a nebula from the inside? Just as water is only blue in color when looking at large amounts of it from far away, and yet entirely transparent up close, so too are nebula -- only to an exponential extreme. Water has a molecular density of 1.6 sextillion (1.6x10^21) per cm^3. Star-birth nebulae range from 100,000 to 100 molecules / cm^3 which makes them especially invisible even from a few light years distance. Are you going to make me put this footnote in the comments of all such videos, or can we eager taxpayers and devoted fans count on you to do the right thing and write you own elaborations -- aka "retractions"?
So where is the footage of this Core of the Lagoon Nebula? Why are we seeing the Disney version? Do you think we're idiots? This is not REAL. Where is the REAL footage? Jeeeese.... no wonder everyone thinks the world is flat! Show us the actual footage NASA!!!!!
