The Bubble Nebula: Winds & Radiation from a Massive Star [Ultra HD]

Ultra HD Resolution Version (4K UHD)
This visualization of the Bubble Nebula begins with a ground-based view that encompasses the glowing cloud. The high-energy light from the massive O star, BD +60°2522, is responsible for ionizing the entire region. The virtual camera flies through the foreground stars and approaches the central bubble imaged by Hubble. The massive star continuously sheds some of its outer layers in a mass-loss wind, which has blown a bubble of gas seven light-years across. The video's three-dimensional perspective emphasizes the extended nature of the structure and the fact that BD +60°2522 is not located at the center. The pressure inside the bubble is able to expand more rapidly in the directions away from the surrounding nebula. The computer model incorporates both scientific and artistic interpretation of the data. In particular, distances are significantly compressed.

Man. This is incredible.

Saw this on the Morrison Planetarium dome tonight at CAS - simply breathtaking!

[@joestitz239]

Don't see star in center though. But so cool a bubble :) Way to go Hubble !

[@Gabriel87100]

+Joe Stitz It's because it's not really in the center, but you can still see it inside the bubble, the big blue star in the left corner at the end.

[@sinyee2518]

fantastic!!

Obviously, this is a visualization, but if this were filmed by a real camera, how fast would the camera have to be moving to pan across space that quickly? Much faster than the speed of light, I'd imagine.

[@kegaan]

Basomic I want to see the actual video too !

[@lisamyrick6803]

I thoght it is a NASA artists enhancement of the actual video, adding the colors NASA truely believes exist out there, not just an artists brand new visualization. Am I totally wrong? I need to ask NASA.

Wow just amazing

Demaciado bello algo increible las maravillas del universp es Real que tiene in gran Creador

[@masbaiy4858]

Has nasa developed algorithm that produces this 3d construct from 2d image and redshift data? I think mapping stars is manageable, since they're points. But nebulae, what observation (and calculation) technique we must develop to build image into 3d construct in appreciable resolution...? It is quite a challenge. And if nasa managed to do it, congrats!

[@BonusSamogonus]

Круто!
Удивительное зрелище!

Espetácular

É muito lindo!

[@urekmazino6519]

I wonder how well it would visualize in Space Engine.

[@thisandthat73]

Animation in UHD? lol
I only do 720p on rare occasions, most of the time 360p suffices.

[@81atanas]

just now, i saw 1st time this video..
question>>
is it normal the white dwarf in the center of the bubble... to be near the "surface of the bubble and not at its center"?
unless the gravitational force of the surrounding gas is more by the side of the greater deployment?
thanks!

[@johnjohnny7220]

is this the real deal? i mean.. or is it computer?

[@SuperFaceStomp]

Is real life real? I mean... or is it computer?

[@lisamyrick6803]

this is the "real deal" but, I beleive Hubble captures some color then NASA artists greatly enhance.
Personally, I'd like to see the Actual "real deal", too. It's even more breathtaking, I think.

[@mckeen771]

dammit why are we so small?

[@TheUnderratedOrange]

What is out there, I wonder.

[@cesaraugustodecarvalho9645]

uhd e muito fodaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@ameen9928]

woowww

[@GoDmusica33]

Fake

[@rulingmoss5599]

Prove it, oh wait you cant and probably wont even respond because you're a tard who can't prove anything.
