When Hubble Opened its New Eyes

[dezertmiragez]

This video is fantastic. It brought a tear to my eye.

[HighPoweredLasers]

4:29 looks like "Gonzo" using a finger to tell someone to come here!

[ejenglin]

That we insignificant apes could live to witness such awesome beauty is truly the most wondrous thing. Religion could never give us this kind of vision, could never match this sight, and could never encompass these ideas. Religion retards growth, science promotes it. No religion could ever move me to tears like mere images of the vast glory and wonder of space.

[cj431464]

is a same

[milojetkins]

Thanks Man

[invadercheeze]

2:03 and onward literally had my mouth gaping and my eyes tearing. There is more beauty in those pictures than in every gold-leafed, jewel studded, marble-paved church, temple, synagogue, or mosque on the entire planet.

[rkyeun]

@invadercheeze

I've never found the waste of valuable goods on cult indoctrination a beautiful thing in any sense, so I suppose the reality's even more beautiful for me.

[AstralShayde]

Beautiful!

[afterhumanity333]

Another example of how unimaginally beautiful our random expanding Universe is... Thank goodness we are in the early stages of the Universe's life... Otherwise these images would be much less impressive..

Ty for uploading AW..

[neonsilkworm]

Just awesome.

By the way, AW, I freakin' love your music.

[157626]

Personally, I'm at a loss for words......and that doesn't happen very often!!

[NomadicReprobate]

@157626

Only when you see something like this or when it's time to come up with a name for your youtube account!

[Oceanus57]

We have the word awesome especially for things such as this.

Do not abuse the awesome word by using it for things that are just great, or only slightly wonderous!

[y1982pisti]

And people still fight each other in the name of their gods. Very most of the world is still primitive... :'(

[3tangle3]

yesthe progressive sections of humanity needs to group together but also welcome all who want to come on this long journey :)

[JackeShanTwo]

@y1982pisti The fact that we're just 10 seconds old on a cosmic scale makes me also happy that we've actually came this far... where matter has left it's home planet.

[oggleman]

This video looks unbelievably awesome on my new 32" LCD TV :D

[NYbudMan87]

Your the man dude.

[deathmetalmaniac1]

subscribed

[fazadeset]

i think im blowin up to your video

[RaeofSunder]

I have a question for all who are informed - are the colours we see on those images ones that are assumed by the chemical makeup of the phenomena or are they actually from the hubble craft photographs?

Either way- Stunning!

[chriscowman]

Phasers set Captain.

[gotnatas]

just awesome :}

[markkind]

A new Ultra Deep Field?

YES! YES! YES!

[drummerforpeace]

wow...

[mancamiatipoola]

LOL !

At 4:33 it looks like an alien dude giving someone the finger. Pause and look closely :D !!!

XD

[mancamiatipoola]

O.O

As always your videos are breath taking...

[DrSilvertoes]

The Universe is filled with roses and elephant gods and Jackson Pollocks ....

Staggering.

Thanks so much for sharing these, AW.

[cagrievcit]

so beautiful yet so deadly

[gaiyabum]

I've got a fever and the only remedy is more AW vids....

[maxothesaxo]

OH gosh. This video was amazing. I loooooove astronomy soo much :)

[mrbuggs]

Thanks Hubble

Thanks NASA

Thanks USA

Thanks Human

Thanks GOD

[tsaiwes99]

You can thank God but that's just thanking a fragment of human imagination.

[shadowskout]

god is dead

[AnonymousDiv0]

Confirmed, phasers to HELL YES, Captain!

What a universe. It takes some ballsy arrogance to think that it exists solely for the benefit of lifeforms on one insignificant mudball.

[kankeriseenziekte]

@AnonymousDiv0

hey hey hey we're GODS lifeforms, remember ;)

[danielkirk1]

@AnonymousDiv0 On the contrary, It takes some ballsy arrogance to think "it" came from nothing.

[AnonymousDiv0]

@danielkirk1

Your logic fails to compute. The FACT is that the universe is far, far more vast than humans could ever hope to explore and that the huge majority has no relevance to our planet whatsoever. I take it that you are suggesting that a god magically created everything - in which case the god included a massive amount of pointless and useless junk for no reason, OR that the universe cannot have been made solely for us and our little mudball.

[Iceman22742]

Dude, I've watched this video a few times now and it never gets old. Awesome pictures, simply stunning.

[garrettducat]

7,500 ly seems so tiny in this scale. Then think about the fact that 7,500 years ago light left that star to reach Earth. What happened 7,500 years ago? The Sumerians, basically the beginning of written history.

Really puts humanity into perspective.

[AbelMagwitch73]

Astounding!

I await the day with baited breath that my daughter is old enough to understand these pictures.

It saddens me to know that holy men still want us to think that all of this was knocked together in a few days just for the human race to praise our creator.

[Zintos446]

Why don't you just enjoy this instead of always being filled with hate and having to curse someone for having a different belief.

[AbelMagwitch73]

My post was not filled with hate, nor did I curse anyone. I watch with my daughter every morning videos like this. I guess that day I was feeling more protective than normal and /or I had just had an abusive message from a creationist.

I am just astounded at what we can do and what we understand and how much more is there to learn.

[Gorteenminogue]

Dazzling!

[nixonfanatic]

My, oh my. That is some tremendous footage.

Thanks, as always.

Nix ~

[mjr256]

Amazing! Thanks for posting this.

[Famine52]

Would I be able to grab the background song in this video?

Thanks.

[thisnameisuniq]

The song is from ut2k4.

[gretarsjukro]

POWER

[tokotokotoko3]

Beautiful man, great work. ...nuff said :)

[ALFACENTAURIANO]

Bellissimo video complimenti :)....

[AlanCFA]

Those of you who want pics, check the sidebar.

AW left a link to Hubblesite d ot org where you can download these images to use as screensavers, wallpaper, etc.

[lennyhipp]

check out this channel for high res photos and video of Hubble: watch?v=82CxyDX2yns&feature=su­b

[ILoveJyze]

4:39 OMGG thats sooo beautiful!

[M0t0rBreath89]

I know right, I need that as a Background pic.

[JaawaFin]

Awesome, beautiful, I love the universe, I am so glad to be able to see parts of it!

[cidvisions]

I was there. Man I love watching that thing go up.

[SASMOUNTAINTROOPER]

Where (can) I download this in HD?

[polop1234]

beautifull

[roidroid]

thankyou

[Ko252]

i seriously need donation. I want to make a trip to the space :D

[MonsterLopes]

I can't wait for UDF 2.0!!!

I'm pretty excited about the upcoming JWST aswell.

Good job NASA, keep up the good work!

[Makyui]

Literally tears. The universe will never, ever stop being awe-inspiring.

Thanks for sharing this with us, AW.

[thefuckingshark]

I am a an 11th grade atheist with an undying love for astronomy. Keep making videos. Rock on.

[SPNKRocket]

I'm a 25yr old atheist with an undying love for astronomy also, So I want to tell you something from somebody who's been in your shoes. Study! make that love a profession, it might seem like a hard and trivial pursuit but the benefits are well worth it! start off with an amateur astronomy club and learn the ropes from there. My love for astronomy started as being an amateur and later brought me to becoming a Cosmologist, and it couldn't of been done with out the amateur societies. So keep it up!

[WatrousJr]

The vast wonders of our universe make our planet and its inhabitants so insignificant. The universe is a beautiful place.

[ScottyTrahan]

wow...that was just amazing! Thank-you so very much for the share.

[LuiWallentin]

One word: breathtaking

[otakujhp]

I hear there will be a NOVA episode detailing the repairs to Hubble later this fall.

[julsHz]

Hubble's gone HD...

[HConstantine]

At 2:50 it shows a fox killing a snake, both presumably hundreds of light yeas long I don't know what more proof of the existence of gods anyone would want! But then at 4:40 it shows Ganeesh masturbating. What is wrong with these atheists?

[AlanCFA]

HConstantine - that's funny!

Ganeesh masturbating - LOL!!!

[ThePinkymonky]

Rocking...

[JonO387]

The Carina nebula is fucking amazing. And, Hell Yes!!!

[Mankepanke]

Awesome quality in those pictures. Amazing that we humans can see things like that.

A new UDF? Hell yes! It's gonna be awesome! :-D

(I liked the Unreal Tournament music, too)

[AlanKey86]

Stunning

[uthamal]

Stunning! I hope they are available at the APOD archive? Here are a few more images for my screensaver :)

[onerefuse]

..home

[Topdoginuk]

Wow! What more can ya say, just fantastic!

[Airicks1]

2:54 looks like a dragon in space lol

[DontHurtTheIntersect]

This music makes me grow hair on my tongue!

[harbingerdawn]

A new ultra deep field... damn right set phasers to hell yes!

[lockhughes]

Now I have telescope-envy... I am only 300x and terrestrial :(

:)

[walkingmap]

How can one not be awed?

[mshaddock]

Watching this makes me feel a bit on the insignificant side. I'm one person on a planet of billions; circling one nondescript yellow star of billions; which resides in one undestinguished galaxy of billions. If that doesn't rattle your ego, I'd say there's something wrong with you.

[jaguarNjubejubes]

this inspires me...

beautiful and amazing pictures.

[SuperNerd707]

Stunning pictures.

I want to drift away on a nebula now...

[Blessed2bFresh]

Outta F'n control

[WolfCoder]

But of course the Universe is beautiful.

[imhighonhappy]

This makes me wonder if we'll ever be around long enough to go to these places. The future is now. Wait... now.... no , now! Darn it! I give up. Just remember that if you want to look back in time, simply look at the stars. ; )

[Moonteeth62]

Ain't science cool!

[PLATINUM3NDO]

Amazing!

[THEoldy]

Just thinking of the size of some of those formations is mind blowing.

[hunzpal2]

awesome pics

[Treachery151]

Those pictures were beautiful

[Areweonfiya]

HOLY FUCK

the sound barrier just broke neear where I live! scared the shit out of me, for reals!

[christinepeace]

I cried watching this!

Cheers Christine

[Dusty341]

So exciting!

[Crapulency]

Pretty

expensive

[guiltybob1]

Great big, huge astronomy erection win!

[TheRedneckAtheist]

When Hubble dies I'm going to cry like a little girl.

[holdontoyourwig]

And god put them all there for us to admire.

Only kidding. Lol

Spectacular photos

[mattghtpa]

What an interestingly curious night sky it must be in the NGC 6217 galaxy. So many blue stars with a bar running through the middle.

I suppose those are young fast burning blue giants, but I'm just guessing.

Probably most are immense gaseous plants, 2 to 5x Jupiter mass.. I bet they would have amazing moon systems.

Gas giants could hold 30 or 40 Earth size moons. Just think if there was more than one gas giant in a system.

Makes the Sol system seem quite boring.

[mattghtpa]

We don't have words to describe these images adequately.

Its like they are created from pure imagination.

[vampgaze02]

That is indescribably cool

[JordnAM128]

Wow!!! I was completely blown away at many of the pictures. Great video.

[Turboviiper]

If anyone wonders the name of the song - It's from Unreal Tournament 2003/2004. Kown as Level 8.

[alixinthemiddle]

wow!

[sirnicholson]

wow i had no idea that there was so much color in outerspace!

[TheCakeAintNoLie]

hubble actually doesn't take pictures in colour.

the colour is added later by combining different pictures taken of different wavelengths of the light.

[Naughtyexcellento]

so these images are fake

[IconOfSin88]

No, they are composite images. Andromeda's wake has a video regarding space photography. Look it up, it will answer your inquires.

[sirnicholson]

thumbs down to you mr.naughtyman.

[TheCakeAintNoLie]

no, they take pictures at different wavelengths, so you get 1 picture of only (infra) red light, blue light, and yellow light, then they combine the pictures in a computer and then you get the coloured pictures.

you can see a full explanation on the hubble website if you're interested.

they also explain how the hubble telescope works on the site.

[samdon815]

In 1935 the Urantia Book stated that " In the not-distant future, new telescopes will reveal no less than 375 million new galaxies in the remote stretches of outer space " P-130 , prescient.

[sci0nparag0n]

Whats your point?

[iHillman]

4:38

God?

[MrPragmatism]

Keep dreaming iHillman!

Thanks for another great video, keep up the great work on YT!

[religionOFFENDSme]

ur an idiot... but my q. "why no mention of the carina nebula in his book since it is much bigger than all the things he did take credit for?"

[iHillman]

I was being sarcastic which for your stupid mind (judging by your grammar.) Is too hard to understand, prick.

[Paomnnehal]

You should add a smiley ( :P ) or an an 'lol' at the end. It's hard to read sarcasm when it's only text.

[burn70u7]

May be a silly question. Why don't they keep the in service? maybe build a few more then create some kind of array?

[NutzlastB0hne]

In 2014 the HST will have been in space for 24 years. Man can produce pretty reliable hardware but after such a long time, much of the used hardware will be pretty outdated and/or show some kind of defect. At some point repairing and upgrading will exceed the cost of simply building a new one.

And that would be the James Webb Space Telescope (scheduled to launch in 2014)

[burchdc]

Wow...just...wow...

[schlippien]

2.50-2.55 What the..?

[B100]

Truly amazing.. It's both humbling and breathtaking to see how vast and beautiful our univers is. Thanks for sharing this!

[OverusedChewToy]

Nice Unreal Tournament music in the background :P

[TheLittleDonkey]

oh my goodness, I almost mistook the first image of Jupiter for an artist rendering. The universe is so beautiful.

[samten54]

Very big thank you.

[CheesesPeaks2U]

FABULOUS

much more miraculous than anything in the bible.

[bobby472]

AWESOME :-) I wish I could travel to other galexies. That would be cool.

May if i freeze myself and then downt the road they will unfreeze me and i can travel through space.....................

[rozeboosje]

Gorgeous

[SleepNeed]

I'm personally a bit saddened that the HST is might be starting soon the last chapter to it's life, but excited when I start reading the future of space telescopes (like the James Webb Space Telescope with an orbit beyond that of even the moon in the L2 point!)

[drasked]

Epic.

[pjlehtim]

After being constantly bombarded by the human stupidity here in the Internet it is videos like this that restore my hope to the humanity. Thank you for making and posting this!

[TheFluffyDuck]

One of the pilgrimages I will make in my life is the launch of a rocket into space carrying humans.

[redshift40]

Wow!!! I have never seen Stephan's Quintet look so spectacular before.

Thanks AW...cheers!

[WarcowUshi]

Holy wow.

I never thought that we would have images that clear of some of those within my life time. That is truly a wonder to behold.

[SewEweSway]

Just amazing! Thanks!

[jeans1515]

Speechless! Awesome video. Spectacular!

[bajorjor1]

beautiful so beautiful

[Joshewah777]

I cant wait to see a new UDF! Great vid, Andromeda.

[movsepian]

Also, are the colors the same as they would appear to the naked eye?

[AlanCFA]

movsepian answer about colors from Hubblesite d ot org...

There are no natural color cameras aboard the Hubble and never have been. The optical cameras on board have all been digital CCD cameras, which take images as grayscale pixels.

The images are, indeed, downloaded as black and white, and color is added for a number of different reasons for example, to show the dispersion detail of chemical elements and highlight features so subdued that the human eye cannot see them.

[movsepian]

Can you describe what that is at 2:50-2:55? thx

[Joshewah777]

movsepian, it looks like a spiral galaxy being sucked away from a larger gravitational force. I'd like to know too.

[AlanCFA]

Last night I saw much of this from Hubblecast, the video podcast for Hubble.

For anyone with iTunes, you can search in podcasts for Hubble and find Hubblecast and some additional NASA video podcasts for other items of interest including the Spitzer telescope. You can load them on your iPod or watch them from within iTunes.

Or you can simply Google for Hubblecast and find the homepage with videos.

[blueskiesmev]

thanks for sharing about the hubblecast

[AlanCFA]

blueskiesmev

There is also Hubblesite d ot org where you can get info on Hubble and download tons of photos or wallpaper.

I downloaded about 100 photos and have a freebie program called Random Photo Screensaver that randomly selects these images from a folder that I set up to hold them. It is really cool to see the slide show.

[blueskiesmev]

thanks for the link it looks very interesting

[AlanCFA]

blueskiesmev:

I noticed last night that AW provided a link to the Hubble site in the sidebar. The initial page is the press release section of the website. There are lots of images there.

Also, to the top left of the screen, there is the Gallery button. Click on that and you have access to something like 1,200 photos.

[NapalmXD]

0:25 - 1:10 is one of the most bad ass things ever!

[vince19811981]

WOW! the universe is awesome!

[blindvoyager]

Though these images are cool and beautiful to the untrained I they just look like so many colored dots. Perhaps you could add a little more description to tell us exactly what we are looking at.

[plutorip]

If you're interested in learning more about what is in the images, I suggest googling APOD.

[NutzlastB0hne]

Such pictures always make my brain go nuts. you could stare at these pictures forever but you'll never really understand these vast dimensions.

btw. never thought i would see an astronomy vid with music from UT2003 ^^

[arsenelupin123]

"Stellar Jet Carnina Nebulae" looks like a manlike figure running!

We've found God! :P

[waspbloke]

And I though, it was a long way down the road to the chemist's!

I love seeing these images, it makes my brain ache trying to comprehend what's out there.

[tyro12345]

The pictures are amazing. Please excuse my ignorance, is the color enhanced or do they actually look like that untouched?

[mikeporterinmd]

It's been a while since I've seen a good video of a shuttle launch. Part of me is in awe, and part of me says "astronauts are nuckin futs." Thanks for putting this together. Very beautiful.

[Irishkennedy931]

Absolutely beautiful. To think there are billions of galaxies each with the chance of finding new life. Really exciting stuff.

[803brando]

NGC 3603 is my fav

[kelliko70]

Mesmerizing in its beauty.

[MedicChrisUK]

Thanks for sharing this lot with us, truly awe-inspiring stuff.

[donricardolopez]

Thanks AW.

Another awesome post.

[AncientAtheist]

The universe was created just for *us*! God must have had the eventual application of things like the Hubble Telescope that would enable us to enjoy *our* universe.

[sgtsnakeeyes11]

fucking retard this is proof there is no god.

[AncientAtheist]

:D

You're the best!

[Zetimenvec]

around!

[Kimbley26]

meant to thumb u up sry :P

[AncientAtheist]

No problem!  I don't trip.

[MsAntitheist]

indeed thanks for sharing =)

[atheistcunuk]

thanks for sharing

[NonStampCollector]

The most awe-inspiring words we have:

"Galaxy cluster"

[Puchicas9]

Absolutely awesome!

[shakthi124]

how does the hubble telescope see things 400 million light years away? i mean is the camera that good? lol

[aogilmor]

"Gawd done it!" JK....

[fada126]

As usual, always informative and entertaining!

Another good job, Well done Wake!

[stephenetienne]

I share your enthusiasm, but not your expertise. Thank you for posting this information. I always watch your videos with interest.

[Fade9150]

These pictures are so amazing we shouldn't even attempt to comment on them with fear of cheapening them. Just sit back in awe of these other galaxies gone wild.
