For anyone who hasn't seen this video it's breathtaking to realise what were actually seeing when we look through the eyepiece, beautiful

It puts a very different perspective on what we see through a scope - especially the 3D effect.

Stunning when you realise the sheer scale of stellar nurseries - it's too easy to think of "dust clouds" in the same way we think of clouds in the sky. Of course these clouds are something else entirely. Very nice find.

Excellent video. The universe is a truly amazing place.

[Astro Imp]

Thanks for that Russ, some wonderful images there, I particularly liked the nascent solar system with its dust ring.

That's immense...

wow! amazing video thanks.

[Kedvenc]

Can only say wow. Thanks for posting.

So incredible... completely different perspective. It looks like such a flat plane when you look up at the sky, awesome 3D effect!

[wolfpaw]

Thanks for the link to what is a fantastic video!

[Beulah]

Excellent, truly excellent. Thank you for posting it. I wonder what it would be like to inhabit a planet in one of the local star systems with that backdrop in the sky every night.

Brilliant video , thanks for sharing.

Super video   It is also strange to think that it my not have always been visible ?

"The telescopic history of the Orion Nebula and the M 43 region is quite an interesting story and contains one of the greatest conundrums in astronomy, worthy of a decent detective mystery. First realised by Alexander von Humboldt, none of the observers before Galileo had noted the particularly bright nebulosity, although to the naked-eye today, it is obviously bright and definitely not stellar. Why this was not observed has yet to be properly explained, meaning either that the Orion Nebula was simply not noted or the seemingly highly unlikely possibility that the nebula was not as bright in the time of Galileo. More strange is that nobody else prior to him has written down the visibility of this particularly famous “Grand Nebula” of the entire sky"

Cracking video, thanks for sharing. The universe never stops amazing me. I look forward to viewing even more when I get a chance.

[DazC]

I'll certainly be thinking about that video next time I'm looking at the Orion Nebula.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Laurie I've also seen a video called 'the Orion Nebula cover up' which may be what your referring to I've never watched it mind because it sounded like some sort of cosmology/alien theory

[SteMo]

Great video, thanks for posting

[deepspacehunter]

AWESOME stuff !

[StarSapling]

That was an awesome ride, thanks for posting it.

[maxheadroom]

Unreal. It's always a struggle to imagine the scale of space and almost always I'd bet most of us are way off the mark. That 'smudge' is inconceivably vast and far away.

[Coopz]

Thank you for sharing this. It is mindblowing when you learn the stats behind what we can see through our eyepiece.
