  • yea ,,i found this nebula 117 second ago...nice!

  • God: The pedestal where the weak clings to some faint hope, that their might be more to life, that their might be some figure who cares for you.

    Suck it up and face the fact that no one holds a hand on you. Instead you should celebrate life! Live in the now, not in the past or the future. Admire and be grateful, that in our solar system, one planet got the right circumstances to create life that florished and evolved. There is no god, there is you, we, life and the universe

  • I just hope that these new solar systems aren't plagued by jews like ours is.

  • after seeing all these videos about the universe, I feel so...... small.. No, tiny.... no... Microscopic... Now I know how bacteria feel.. How great Thou art!! :-D

  • When I experience things about the heavens like this, I tend to think way outside my mind. During the rare occasions when I can see a detailed night sky, I lose myself in the starscape and, like a dream, wish the night won't end.

    I love the universe.

  • @AonGuardian So amazing huh?!? The universe is amazing and there is still soooo much about it that we have yet to even discover for ourselves.

  • I didn't mention anything about islam....I am a christian. Why are you so determined to make me believe otherwise? Fine you're an athiest....have a nice life. I'll worship my God and you go and live your life....you're wasting your time. HAVE A NICE LIFE!

  • Thanks to Almighty God created the heavens and place of

  • I want to be there! and somehow be able to survive.

  • beautiful ^.^

  • Wonderful things out there!

  • Hi! The link in the description is not working. Does somebody know any other links where it is possible to download this in better quality?

  • Thanx 4 posting....reminds me of that line from 2010 Space Odyssey "my God, it's full of stars...".....actually ur other page with the early universe simulation/animation "evolution of a galaxy cluster from very early times on", reminds me of the other gr8 film (the best of that series) the original 2001 film by Kubrick,,, well keep posting gr8 visuals,, peace, Rob M.

  • I've always loved Orion and astronoy. have only 76mm refector telescope :( . want a 150 mm

  • @ian699 get a telescope of at least 4.5 inches and look at jupiter,saturn,venus,mars and the moon. you probably see these planets all the time but dont realize it. they are usually the last stars in the morning and the first to be visible before sunset..

  • Read the book by Bob Bernan 'Secrets of the NIght Sky" I'm new too

  • Amazing video, thanks for sharing!

  • 4 hot, young stars!!! This is one sexy nebula!

  • my friend and i looked at this thru his telescope yesterday pretty amazing

  • thnx 4 putting this on here!! i took notes for my homework!!!

  • This Nebula is giving BIRTH to solar systems just like our own. This is just ONE nebula in ONE of 100 billion galaxies. You can't know this and still think God exists and cares whether or not you win the lottery/get in a car accident.

  • @nerfherder9 And why should you not care if you get in a car accident or win a lottery? Does this have any effect on my life what so ever? Why should you care about something that does not concern you..

  • @nerfherder9 i didnt quite understand your comment. did you mean that you believe in god or that you dont believe in god because of this information?

  • @nerfherder9 As a matter of fact I think the opposite. I believe that He is majestic enough to create a limitless amount of galaxies and that makes him capable of anything. His creation ranges from every cell in my body to the vast openess of space. How can I not believe that He cares about me and everyone else who believes in Him. I'm just saying...to each his own.

  • @sarahh2009loved to bad he forgot about africa right... -__-

  • @sarahh2009loved Is he also responsible for the extinction of over 99% of species that have ever existed in the history of life on Earth? Some creation! You appear to be a someone who has never understood any of the arguments against their position EVER.

  • @nerfherder9 I don't hold all the answers, I'm just saying that I'm interested in science but I still believe in God and I truly believe that he cares for me. I don't appear to be anyone but a believer. Accept that someone believes differently than you do. That is all I'm saying. I'm not going to argue with you...I believe what I believe and you believe what you're going to believe. I didn't claim to know all the answers....

  • @sarahh2009loved Take a class in basic logic.

  • @nerfherder9 Oh I am, I call it going to church on Sundays. I am so grateful that I know God and his Son. I have something to live for. Thank you for reminding me of that. Have a nice life!

  • @sarahh2009loved Church sermons are dependent on belief-without-evidence (i.e. faith) which is not logical. You said you believe in god and his son, but that belief is blasphemy to the religion of Islam. Which consistent logical principles do you employ to refute Islam and embrace Christianity? If you explore that question honestly, you will realize how Atheists feel - that religions are equally and innately irrational.

  • @nerfherder9 On the contrary, I don't think something as breath taking and so complex could spontaneously happen, just the thought of dark matter creating subatomic particles which create atoms which randomly somehow able to sustain a cell in basic life functions which are some how able to form organs, body parts, a human mind and the ability to have this conversation here on this internet...My opinion though, we all have different ones. :D

  • @nerfherder9 On the contrary, I don't think something as breath taking and so complex could spontaneously happen, just the thought of dark matter creating subatomic particles which create atoms which randomly somehow able to sustain a cell in basic life functions which are some how able to form organs, body parts, a human mind and the ability to have this conversation here on this internet, and there is a universe of this! My opinion though, we all have different ones..:D

  • Nice colors !

  • It would be awesome if someone re-upload this video in HD.

  • and still the fools say that this Universe came into being by CHANCE !!

  • visit my blog and follow if you like stars, nebulas, and all things universal. gogogo! weareallstarstuff. tumblr. com/

  • how do you find the nebula through a telescope!

  • Sounds freaky but I challenge you all to investigate this. The great city of REVELATION 20-22 "New Jeruselum" . 300km wide, high, long. is set to pass through Orion on its journey to Earth picking up the Saints at the 2nd coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. according to the 19th century messenger E.G.White written in 1850 (Early writings)

  • Most of the stars in Orion occupy a volume that includes a swath of other stars, and is called the Orion Arm, part of one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. The sun itself is also a denizen of the Orion arm.

  • are nebulas really this colorful? and pretty? o_o

  • This is simply a composite image from Hubble and several other telescopes. Coloration are added afterward. Through a telescope it is still breath taking. However, it isn't so varied when looking through the atmosphere.

  • PROG

  • me encanto el video,... muy informativo para las clases

  • Can anyone please tell me if the Orion Nebula is visible with the naked eye? I live just north of Phoenix and see a small object in the sky at night that appears to be green in color and has the look of a faint colored cloud. I always wonder if this is just a close group of stars or I'm actually seeing this nebula. I believe this visual slightly to the left and is just below the belt of the three stars that form Orion's belt.

  • @HoosierLine yes you probably are looking at the nebula, i live in new england and it looks like a whiteish smudge inbetween Betelgeuse and Rigel, under the three stars.

  • @HoosierLine: The nebula is in the sword hanging from Orion's belt. The middle star appears to be a smudge; that is the nebula, and so, yes, it is sort-of visible to the naked eye. It is just about the most distant object in Orion from us; all the major stars save one are closer than it is. The four stars in its center are called the trapezium or Theta Orionis (named before it was separated into four stars), but they can't be distinguished without a telescope. See the Trip Thru Orion video.

  • or-i-in, i thought it was or-e-awn!

  • @CYToilets: It is usually pronounced "Oh-ry'-un".

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • God is great!

  • I have read that Heaven may be in this area...I don't know...it is cool to think it is possible, that's for sure- Hubble pics are so cool... :) what is just as cool to me and wondrous is the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)-just plain beautiful awesomeness!

  • try playing

    FREEDOM BY MICHEAL W. SMith

    its so cool!!!!!!

  • why ruin god's beauty with smitty's self righteous trash?

  • The Universe is breath taking nuff said

  • @girlcobaby I agree!! the sea is the same way!!

  • Comment removed

  • Not again! Everytime I see a video about the universe, a thumper pops out of nowhere and and drags their bronze age beliefs into the picture! I must have missed the part in the video where a large, gray bearded old man was visible in the Orion nebula.

  • Not again! Everytime i watch a video about the universe, an atheist and a christian break out into a religious debate! I dont care what you believe in. The video is cool, so watch it.

  • Oh No! Not again!!! Seems everytime I comment on how thumpers throw a theological side to a simple picture of the sky, someone accuses me of starting a jihad! (BTW, Crazy1001, LOL!)

  • When You see such Beauty Peace & Harmony one may wonder why the animalhumanspecie has become sometimes not always THANK GOD such an evil and criminal creature !!! In these difficult depressing sometimes anxiety filled times Lets ALL PRAY AS 1 COMMUNITI&FAMILI for the TRIUMPH of MutualRESPECT&PEACE&the BEGIINING OF A NEW ERA where racism, intolerance, hatred and spirit of revenge filled with anger-hatred & potential destructive-autodestructive Violence and Crime will NEVER AGAIN BE TOLERATED !

  • so beautiful

  • niceee!!!:)

  • This is where we come from. The solar system, It's binary star and a lot of the stars in the Solar Neighborhood still orbit Orion. We are all children of Orion.

  • How do we know Orion still exists? Or anything else light years away, for that matter.

  • Time is relevant

  • we don't know.... if a star 100 ly away exlplodes we will see that 100ly after that.. we may look at a star witch no longer exist ;]

  • how about having a nap including a nice dream, if the nebula comes to you you will know. if not it might not talk to you or it does not exist. What are you really looking for?

  • This nebula is important for another very important reason. Astronomers have simulated our position shortly after the birth of our sun, and it appears our solar system may have actually begun in the orion nebula 4.5 billion years ago. That means every atom in our bodies may have actually been part of that huge dust cloud a few billion years back.

  • Can anyone provide subtitles of this video?

  • i dont understand where are the 4 stars he talks about.

    vesides that i love this video!

    but can someone please help me with my question?

  • the brigthest in the middle

  • This nebula is very important,because it's bright and pretty. I'm allergic to dust. I have a photo of the Orion nebula on my cell phone under Pictures.

  • I just looked at this nebula last night through a 15 inch diameter telescope. It was the most amaizing experience looking through the eye piece and seeing how just a few dots in the sky turns into something like this. I can only imagine if humanity ever gets to reach this place in its conquest for exploration, then we will have had a taste of "Heaven". Science and technology is the tool given to us do what we are meant to do, we just have to use it wisely.

  • when i red the title (didnt read it properley) i though wtf the onion nebula?!

  • Well...I believe in one of two things: Either all the matter in the universe created itself in one mighty instant, or there is an infinite regression of cause and effect. There is no other plausible option.

  • You can see HST-10 on Google Sky right next to those four super massive stars. Its basically a tiny round black spot with a point of light (a star of course) in the middle. From a couple articles I've read, that disk of dust and gas is about the same diameter as Pluto's orbit. Really shows how tiny and insignificant we are in this galaxy, much less the universe. As for the religious discussion here, come on... (see next post)

  • Religion is nothing more than fairy tales thought up thousands of years ago by people who didn't know whats beyond our own blue sky. A failed attempt at trying to explain our own existance.

  • beautiful!

  • Amen to that!

  • esta muy bien el video

    pero no entiendo nada...

    speak english!!

  • Stars are really fascinating, extremely interesting and charming!!

  • Absolutely stunning. Great job by SDSC.

  • Excelente, ojalà estuviese traducido al español

  • really cool

  • THIS IS SO COOL AND PRETTY!!! =)

  • Cut the chat and put Metallica's Orion to it. You'll need about 6 mins more video. (Or you could loop it.)

  • 1500 ly? Thats not much... seriously.

  • Messier Object 42!! Beautiful!

  • Comment removed

  • "it's your mom"

  • jus as possible

  • can you make this a screen saver?

  • "Canst thou bind the 'clusters' of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"Job 38:31 (written 3800 ys ago) It is now known that the stars in the constellation Pleiades, anciently known as the "seven sisters" (altho the telescope now reveals many more stars in this group) are bound together gravitationally. The stars in the bright constellation Orion,on the other hand,are not so bound. Only God can either bind or release the stars,as He is the one who created them and placed them in the heavens.

  • The bible is a complete plagorism of Astrological events. Don't get fooled.

  • i was looking at this in my back garden last night through my binoculars (my telescope still has not come). it is an amazing site.

  • @123nebula123 Wow! What binoculars do you have? I need some, or what telescope?

  • I believe in God and the big bang. Why can't people believe that it all came from God to begin with? Why do you think they cannot figure out what created this "God Particle"? :P It's God, duh XD

  • The reason the Higgs Boson is referred to as the "God Particle" is because it hasn't yet been found.

    If it's not found, then the Standard Model of Particle Physics is wrong.

  • I believe that the Universe is only a new creation to god. That's why it has an age. People say God has always been there, and I do believe that. I believe the Universe has an age and did have a start. But my belief is that God decided to have a new design. Basically I am saying is that the Universe is not the only bizarre and beautiful design that God has created.

    Why didn't the Big Bang happen 900 billion years ago instead of the 13.7 billion? It's because it is a new creation.

  • "New creation"? WTF?

    You have no idea how long 13.7 BILLION years is do you? I'm completely inconcevable. If it took 13.7 BILLION years for humans to come about by god's will, then he'sa giant N00B.

    If I were creating a universe, I would be starting off with Lasers.

  • That should say It's* completely inconceivable

  • @TheFifthApes: "Day One. Bang!"

  • @k73sk: The question is, why must one believe? Science attempts to give purely secular reasons to as much of the universe as we can observe. That is not an attempt to deny god, but rather to show that a god is not necessary in order to create the universe that we can see. And why not? It is, in a way, a search for god that science hopes will fail.

  • wow man...1 lightyear is the equivelent to 10trillion kilometers..........ten trillion kilometers....

  • it sure is

  • GODS CREATION IS BEAUTIFUL

  • I find it amazing how such things exist. The nebula form naturally, and they naturally form stars. The stars accretion forms the planets, and the order gets more and more complex as time goes on. The universe is truly a painting that paints itself. For me, it's far more difficult to understand how someone could say such things are designed, when the answers to their existence are right in front of our face. Science see's them, and those termed religious don't.

  • Comment removed

  • I actually find it ironic you say that. In 1997, a survey of the National Academy of Sciences was taken, and it showed that 93% of all members had no belief in a god.

  • The notion of a deity is redundant. We know the repetitive process of crystallization, controlled electromagnetically, created a snow flake because it is the best explanation for the snow flake. We know the collapse of an accretion disk created a planet because it is the best explanation for that planet.

  • DNA replication sustains life, abiogenesis creates life, gravity creates galaxies and clusters of galaxies, the strong force creates atoms, the weak force creates radiation, nebulae create stars, energy creates matter, evolution creates biodiversity, etc. We accept these answers because they have all been observed and are the best answers.

  • They always create the same things, and what they always create are always created by them. All these happen over and over again with no variation. We don't know how the universe was ultimately formed, but we know what it contains was not designed, so there is more of a reason to assume it wasn't designed than to assume it was. One day we may find an answered to that. The order of the universe gets more and more complex as time goes on. The universe is truly a painting that paints itself.

  • Not to mention he fact that there is still no explanation of god, and believers aren't willing to say one. The only justification I've ever heard is "the universe is too complex without one", but they fail to realise that anything with the ability to organise a bacterial flagellum, code the rungs of DNA, or manipulate the laws of physics must be just as, if not more complex. So, they are defeated by their own argument.

  • It's hilarious. You people give me a thumbs down, but it's obvious by how you don't even respond to my points, and how I even site my sources, that your all to scared and stupid to realise that there probably is no god. Your all detriments to humanity.

  • fuck you nobody asked you if u believe in god so we dont need to know

  • Nobody asked anybody, good job picking on the person you don't agree with, and ignoring everyone else. Nobody asked your opinion, and I didn't need, nor did I care to here.

  • i said it because this video has nothing to do with religion and its racist to say what someone believes in is bullshit

  • Then say that to the person who STARTED the religion comments. That would be cernr25 (first mentioned god) or PrayerisLoveinaction (started the conversation I responded to).

    MayaMKIII was the one who tempted me to respond. He said that science proves god, and all I did was correct him and showed some logical flaws. I never said that he has wrong on believing in a god.

    Why didn't you respond to lhurtado1973?

    Only someone very ignorant would not know was the word racist means.

  • in case you haven't noticed, i never targeted you with the whole idea in the first place. Stop making huge problems out of things that you aren't even completely sure about.

  • Comment removed

  • Just because I said this video has nothing to do with religion, you decide that I'm blaming it all on you. Look at every other comment that has to do with the existance of God . I could have been talking to any of them, and you decide to go on a rant becase you think that I was talking to you in the first place.

  • yep. so right

    Universe and Science are all neutral.

    God (no matter how he is called. God allah, Buddha, or Ba'al) is just an imagination - or better an idea of mankind, to no let us feel so small and insignificiant.

    God and devils are the ideas for everything 'good' or 'evil' in our own nature.

    God is a good invention, when you want to call it that way, so that we can live in a civilized and social way.

    But god didn't create anything.

  • Just coz i want to blow up a kindergarden with my mind doesn't mean it blows up.

    And this is exactly what god is.

    an idea - a good one, sure. But nothing real to catch, never ever.

  • Buddha is not a god. & Buddhism is not a religion. It's more like a way of life..

  • ur a cool bean does science also prove the pink elephant i havnt seen one but he must exist

  • Does the bible prove god? "i havnt seen one but he must exist."

  • i dont wanna get into a thing here ... so if you'l just agree with me that im right so we can all just get along with our lives

  • But you're not right, you're FAR from being intellectual, rather ignorant and arrogant on this view.

  • wow i did not know that about my self and btw how dare u give me a thumb down

  • People say the bible code does. But I say the bible code proves aliens made the bible with advanced computer technology.

  • I believe anything Biblical proves nothing.

  • Another thing, it's quite ironic that there is a binary opposition between science and religion. I'm not being biased here but technology certainly in some context isn't a bad thing, I mean just look what it's done here. Scientific advances have produced the technology to see these nebula in their true beauty and can be admired through aesthetic means and effects us so that it really does connect on a spiritual level.

  • The Maya had no technology and described it just as we see it.

    Can you explain?

  • It could be but, it's logical to assume that since it is often a place where planets and stars are formed it's safe to say other wise.

  • can it be a destroyed planet?

  • thats not the orion nebula thats the running man nebula!

  • That's the trap region of the Orion nebula, the running man is a reflection nebula very close by, but it's only got three bright stars, and a distinctive dark area. When they pull back at the end of the video that distinctive pattern of stars and gas is exactly what you see if you point a telescope at M42.

  • That is the most pretty thing I've ever seen.God Bless Everybody

  • wow great vid... seems that the orion nebula looks at us

  • This video is awesome from both a scientific and spiritual viewpoint. Science and faith need not be in opposition! Look at it this way,.. Humans search for truth. Let us respect what is found and give ourselves a chance to carve our own paths without resorting to insults. Come now,.. the human being has evolved way past this! We all had small "beginnings" like the stars in Orion. Let this creation bring us to a sense of understanding!

  • Only science can explain that kind of things , not religions.

  • explain what...line me up the top hundred NASA scientists, and they can "explain as far as their telescopes can reach..the rest of their assumptions are by faith..

    There's not doubt in any sound mind that there's got to be intelligent design on that vast and amazing universe.

    Thank You GOD for still considering us the human beings for your salvation !! I praise YOU LORD for your creation !!!

  • gg.. scientists look for answers.. when all we need to know is already known.. their quest is to disprove God... when all God wants is for people to Accept him. that's all..

  • i know. god bless everyone

  • Actually, the quest of science is a quest for knowledge. God is irrelevant in science.

  • 1) Faith is not a factor in science. In science there are no sacred truths. 2) Actually, the sound mind is the one that doubts itelligent design since there is no evidence to support it.

  • prove it

  • Prove what?

  • Prove that THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!!! lol

  • You smokin' crack?

  • Maaayyyyyyybe! lol

  • Heavens gate.

  • GritYT~You are the only one talking chruch here!

  • And actually if you look at all the other coments below... -.O

  • GritYT~so what kind of games do you play?

  • Wow, I guess a lot of people marked me down, lol. I'm aethyist, and even if I weren't, from a logical stand point, I just want to say that science is science, big bang theory, and all that jazz. And as for games.... what, you mean videogames?

  • I love how you can't even spell atheist.

  • I spell better than half the kids these days, likely to be even more, if you're saying I'm dumb go ahead, but that only makes you seem immature. It says you're 21 on your profile, I believe it but I guess you should start acting more like it. I don't want to start a flame war on something as mediocre as a religion dispute or whatever this has become, so I guess 'll just step out here and now where everyone else should too. I'm sorry, if it helps you guys leave me alone >.>

  • just noticed it a few minutes ago while looking through my binoculars, i couldn't believe what i was seeing...awesome.

  • Heaven must look something like this.

  • wow!!! wordless... amazing!!!

  • the tarantula nebula pwns this, and it's in a much more exotic location

  • Thank you for posting this... I learned alot.

  • its amazing & mind boggling that there are yet to be future solar systems like ours waiting to form & develop within the next billion years...

    The more you study phenomena or anything outside this world, it really makes you look at life differently, usually for the better. I really wish more people gave the time to do so...

  • fucking awesome.

  • You can see this nebula even with naked eye, but it looks like a small glowing dust or a little star. It is very easy to find from the Orion constellation. If you happen to have binoculars or a telescope, this is a easy and beautiful target to look at.

  • hmmm how'd that get that get there?

  • hot young stars

  • i love it too!!!!

  • i love the orion nebula
