3D Journey Through the Orion Nebula

Just received a newsletter update from Inbox Astronomy about: 

"NASA Space Telescopes Provide a 3D Journey Through the Orion Nebula"

Citing from their page:

"Unprecedented Fly-through Combines the Visible and Infrared Vision of the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes

By combining the visible and infrared capabilities of the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, astronomers and visualization specialists from NASA's Universe of Learning program have created a spectacular, three-dimensional, fly-through movie of the magnificent Orion nebula, a nearby stellar nursery. Using actual scientific data along with Hollywood techniques, a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and the Caltech/IPAC in Pasadena, California, has produced the best and most detailed multi-wavelength visualization yet of the Orion nebula. The three-minute movie allows viewers to glide through the picturesque star-forming region and experience the universe in an exciting new way."

Amazing imagery and beautiful for sure.
Reminds me of Pink Blancmange though, silly really, but there you go.
Childhood memories perhaps, I only eat Rice Pudding these days.

Great to see a 3D rendition. My wife loved it and that's a BIG plus for astronomy.
