@@crackedemerald4930 I think he means considering the scale of the universe, light does move from a to b pretty slowly. That said, nothing in the known universe moves faster than light, so I guess slow isn't the best word to use.
@@RubsNL It's also not millions of years ago as the Pillars of Creation are about 6500 light years away. So a picture of them now would show them as they were 6500 years ago. We can't take images that are that sharp of things millions of light years away. If light moved slower than it does, we would only be able to see things that are closer to us. Saturn is also not millions of light years away.
That was not a colorized photo. A colorized photo has color added later. That was a red-filter photo + green filter photo + blue filter photo. That guy had to sit still for 3 photos. Look at his other photos / you can see some people move between the photos.
no, you wrong. everything is not possible. if something is possible then it's possible. for example going faster than light is impossible no matter how much the technology advances. you can clearly see he had 3 photos
He forgot to mention that some images need to be "re-colourised". This is because of the expansion of the universe. For example, in another galaxy, the light emitted may begin as UV, but by the time it reaches Earth it will be IR or visible.
@@joao13soares I think it has more to do with "us" moving away from the source... like the Doppler Effect but instead of sound waves, it's light waves. As we move away from each other or "the universe expands", the wavelength is lower... much like a car moving away for you standing on the road sounds lower in frequency that when it was coming towards you or stationary. I believe it's one of the ways astronomers determined the universe is expanding, and at what rate, based on the shift in light frequency.
Hi Dylan, thought so, too. This is a handy primer if you don't want to explain it over and over again. I am actually surprised that this niche topic is picked up by vox, but hey, I won't refuse a free meal :D
backstreet freestyle when you are talking about subtractive colour (paint) green is not a primary colour. When you are talking about additive colour (light, computers, Astro) it is. Is this what you mean?
It is, but the telescopes don't have the technology needed to actually take good pictures of the stars and other space bodies since they are so far away and the the telescopes lenses don't have that much power...
Space Is colorful (nebula,planets etc) it's just that the light is coming from so far away that it's stretched and looses its properties gradually while it reaches us. The image captured can be then recolored with the technology available to us.
Look up single exposure of the orion nebula, I can see colors in a single photo. It isn't as colorful as some photos but it is the natural eyesight color. Colors are arbitrary anyway.
Btw the reason why an element has "a spectrum": When for example Oxygen is exposed to a certain wavelength of light it gets ionized. After a time it looses this energy in the form of photons. The wavelength (and therefor the energy) of these photons is element specific. Most elements have multiple wavelengths. So if you look at the spectrum of a star or whatever and you see those lines on the spectrum you know that there is that and that element there
Thank you photo shop... they don't process blk and white photos..it's numbers they receive.. then they have artists to create these breathtaking images of worlds,stars.. Galaxies .. pillars.. all artist renditions..look it up..
My favorite Vox video, hands down. I work in the film industry, and I took Astronomy at Uni. This is all of my favorite aspects regarding the complexity of light and color, captured, (or rendered), in a single image. The possibilities are limitless. Science and art are far more similar to each other than people think.

galaxies millions of light-years away aren't affected by redshift. it has to be at least a few billion light-years before the crimson red color becomes noticeable.
my college teaches course called "remote sensing" and it deals with satellite images and color schemes. You explained the basic concepts successfully which my professors have failed for over 2 years now. Thank you vox.
Actually most modern digital cameras work on the same principle as color photography from 1911. Sensors of digital cameras can only differentiate brightness and are effectly black-white cameras. The coloring is done by color filters - not three pieces of RGB glass, but a "mosaic" pattern (CFA, color filter array) covering the sensor, one common mosaic pattern being 2x2 grid of RGGB. The sensor takes a black white photo, which is then converted to colored photo by software (the process is called "demosaicing"). The mosaic color filter grid is the reason why CMOS sensor has that sort of weird color of reflection.

Nah. It's actually a great thing we couldn't see the invisible colors. Phones use infrared so you could just imagine the amount of red you'd see everyday. Sun emits ultraviolet rays -- you wouldn't like seeing everything really violet won't you.
they're there! the main message of the video is: even though it's not shot in colours, doesn't mean that space is not colourful. it has the exact same colours. it's just that the telescopes don't have the technology to shoot in colours yet
@@GoldSrc_ At 1:53 he says that the telescope isn't meant to see things in Color, it needs to use black and white so it can differentiate the brightness of objects.
@@jerxmee8829 True because the image 'colour' is identified by the amount of light (energy) emitted by the object. Since human experience the world in the visible light colour range, we interpret the data in order to be easy for our understanding. How do u assign 'light' emitted by object that you can't see such as radiowaves and UV, we assign false colour. If not, it's gonna be black&white and difficult to interpret if you overlay it with different 'wavelength info'. Human see reflected wavelength from the object but not if the object emitting energy.
This is very good to have. We really need this level of explanation, not just to science pursuers and people passionate about knowledge, but for amateur astronomers and photographers as well, for really grasping the understanding about capturing light from deep space. The Universe gave us its "formula" and now we must do the best we can to reach out for it, for everything that is.
For all the people who complain that "space isn't that colorful", as they expected: The main message of the video is: Just because it is not _shot_ in color, doesn't mean that is is not colorful! Indeed it has exactly these colors!
Did you not understand the video or something....? Watch the part where the 3 elements show up as red red and green but are red green and blue in the pictures again.... It is a lot less colorful than the pictures make you think.
How do you know that the final result is what the thing (galaxy, planet whatever) "actually" looks like (= how your human eye would see it if you were in a spaceship near it)?
@@wickedhouston5538 there is no absolute reality because all 'reality' is what our individual senses perceive. Your red could be different from someone else's red and there's no absolute red

It’s a weird feeling, looking at a nebula like that, it looks small because you can’t compare it to anything we would ever see in our lifetime. It is so large that you can’t comprehend just how big it is. The stars look so close together but it really hits you when you think about how far away those stars really are from one another, probably at least a few lightyears away. To think that things that look so small are actually trillions of miles away from one another.
Space photographs are so beautiful and so fascinating...and yet they make you feel even smaller, even less important and even less relevant to the universe.
Their specific example of the eagle nebula (aka pillars of creation) just happens to be very red. Google something like "dumbbell nebula amateur photo" and you'll see true color images.
It's mind blowing that the world actually is colorless also soundless quiet. It's our brain which shows us various colors and creates various sounds which we hear.
I can't believe I'm about to say this about a Vox video of all things, but, very good video. Very informative and to the point. There's no pointless editorializing or pretending opinions are facts-- just plain old information on the subject being discussed. Great job!
If you mean the narrowband using Hubble palette HSO, no, it won't work. The RGB way, yes it will work, as it's the way every digital camera works, cameras get signal in black and white, and on top of it, you have micro-lenses to filter the red, green, and blue
This is similar to how color dyes are used to understand the structures of cells under microscopes. It's amazing how we use similar techniques to see the microcosm and macrocosm.

if i ever could get 1 wish it would be an unending lol life, the ability to
fly and breathe in space. and exploring the cosmos forever
OMFG finally! I've thought about this for so long.
No you didn't
Having studied this recently in school makes this so much cooler to watch
0:22 same colours as the 7 chakras this ain’t no coincidence 🧘🏿♂️
Bruh
Towards the end, it was magical.
Vox: We just photoshop the colour.
Conspiracy theorist: Yes but actually No.
Dear Vox , More of this please and thank you
Pixels: this is like going to kindergarten all over again
It’s a weird feeling, looking at a nebula like that, it looks small because you can’t compare it to anything we would ever see in our lifetime. It is so large that you can’t comprehend just how big it is. The stars look so close together but it really hits you when you think about how far away those stars really are from one another, probably at least a few lightyears away. To think that things that look so small are actually trillions of miles away from one another.
My whole life has been a lie
Space photographs are so beautiful and so fascinating...and yet they make you feel even smaller, even less important and even less relevant to the universe.
I didnt wanna know this, I wanted to hear how beautiful the universe is, but its just invisible >:(
Technically speaking, it is more colourful than you could possibly comprehend
We can see more of the spectrum than we ever could. Hubble is becoming more old school but why is that not beautiful to hear about?
Their specific example of the eagle nebula (aka pillars of creation) just happens to be very red. Google something like "dumbbell nebula amateur photo" and you'll see true color images.
The universe IS beautiful, you just don't understand it.
Invisible is correct. Everything you see about space is art not reality. Expensive cartoon network is all it ever is.
Many thanks to Vox & Coleman Lowndes for doing this video on representative color. It's an issue I love to talk about, happy to contribute.
I enjoyed your TED talk very much, keep up the phenomenal work you do! 👏🏽👏🏽
@@homelackin2234 So nice to hear that, thank you!!
Man, when he said "So, are the colors real?" , "Yes and no." He should've said "Well yes, but actually no."
It's mind blowing that the world actually is colorless also soundless quiet. It's our brain which shows us various colors and creates various sounds which we hear.
Was send here by Atlas Pro! Everyone who doesn't know him, go check him out
Please make longer videos about science , and space exploration . :) Great Video ! Good Job
the more you learn, the less you know
I can't believe I'm about to say this about a Vox video of all things, but, very good video. Very informative and to the point. There's no pointless editorializing or pretending opinions are facts-- just plain old information on the subject being discussed. Great job!
Why aren't the editor and motion graphics artists credited at the end??
as a video editor i agree
I’m just glad I have been blessed to able to see these.
I wonder if you replicate the same color mapping process (using elements) if images on earth will look accurate.
If you mean the narrowband using Hubble palette HSO, no, it won't work. The RGB way, yes it will work, as it's the way every digital camera works, cameras get signal in black and white, and on top of it, you have micro-lenses to filter the red, green, and blue
@@GioFar thanks dude!
Now I understand what I’m looking at when I gaze at those beautiful photographs.
I like when Vox doesn’t post political content, it’s refreshing and usually great informative videos
SPACE DUST! EVEN CRAAAAZIER SPACE DUST!
Edit: btw, where tf is bill?
This is similar to how color dyes are used to understand the structures of cells under microscopes. It's amazing how we use similar techniques to see the microcosm and macrocosm.
