Title:
- IMAX Hubble 3D Visualization Excerpt:Journey into the Orion Nebula
Company / Institution / Agency:
- The Space Telescope Science Institute
Description:
An excerpt from IMAX Hubble 3D takes viewers inside the Orion Nebula to witness the birth of stars and planets. This cinematic scientific visu- alization, based on data from the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, is the result of close collaboration between research astronomers, computer programmers, and visualization artists.
This scientific visualization flies past nearby stars toward the Orion constellation. Descent into the colorful cloud of the Orion Nebula reveals a gaseous landscape that is both carved and illuminated by bright, massive stars. Sweeping by newborn stars uncovers the encircling dark-dust disks from which planets are made.
