What a delight to stumble upon a video of a professor of mine from Rice! Glad to see you are still studying stellar jets Dr. Hartigan! Brings back memories of our Nebular Astrophysics class.
For processes that take as long as anatomically modern humans have walked the Earth, it's amazing how much can be learned from images taken over just a few short years.
Excellent!!! Now we only need about another 100,000 years or so of observations and we'll start to have a pretty good idea about what's really going on. I'd say the guys working on this project have some pretty good job security! lol ;-)
Wow and it only took 17 years to get this footage. That's like what 20 years less than it took to make Avatar?

Is there a link to the ACTUAL Hubble animation / video around somewhere? For those of us who want to see the original for ourselves?

Did anybody else notice that from 2:18 to 2:37, the green cloud looks like the space rip from Futurama?
