  • Your video is awesome!

  • great video

  • Nice Video. Thanks for shared!!

  • Very Cool.

  • Cool Video!..

  • that seems about right, draw on the usa even though it looks nothing like it

  • great stuff again, you guys have some brilliant vids

  • shweeeeeeet :)

  • @greenkonnector agreed. it is absolutely amazing

  • @greenkonnector totally agree. this is great

  • beautiful, simply beautiful

  • This thing looks awesome

  • cant wait to see some data from probes send into nebulas... when they eventually get there

  • lovely 

  • proxermes centarai

    

  • there is such a wonderous world out there , it defies the imagination, for us humans that barely walked past the doorstep (if that) there is soo much to learn that we would need another 100 hundred years to comprehend this universe enough to be able to navigate it safely. I think one day that will happen, but technologically we are nowhere near that possibility.

  • does the nebula have free wifi???

  • The second-to-last picture that drops in the beginning gets partially covered by a picture that had already fallen on the floor. Did anyone else notice that? lol

  • this cant be North America. I dont see planet Star Bucks, or the Microsoft system anywhere. 

  • i almost replied to the trolls instead of watching the beautiful video

  • its all very well but i ll never get there anyway, so why bother

  • the space program (shuttles) swollowed up nearls 400 billion dollars. was ist worth it? I dont think so.

  • Left out pei :(

  • can there further stars than 13,7 billions light years?

  • i see vietnam where mexico should be!

  • We are all made of stars

  • haha, the north american nebula. i can even project Africa or any other continent onto that cloud. gimme a break

  • @lunafringe10 You don't fucking give up, do you?

  • what music is it, may I ask?

  • thats why americans think they re gods, 

  • @lunafringe10 Yes true we are. Now Kneel before me mortal and make me some Fajitas!!!

    And send me your women! The hot ones.........ill take the others when im drunk.

  • @valcan321 so why dont u go back to Saturn where you came from? We ll send you xmas cards,

  • @lunafringe10 Eh it sucks to gassy.......

    Pluss there is no beer

  • @valcan321 nahh, we ll provide it to you as beer powder. Or go to mars, Wasnt it the US that claims life on mars is possible? Well. there you are. Show us!!!

  • @lunafringe10 and why would it be not possible?

  • @supergiuovane It takes 10 years with todays technology for a space craft to cover only 1 light year.

  • @lunafringe10 Actually it would take much longer. So what?

  • @supergiuovane ok so how old will you be when you get to a planet thats close to earth? And if you did. you would nt get back if you didnt like it there. Maybe thats whats needed, Send politicians and scientists to far away planets and let them take responsibility for their own actions. Instead of sending others all the time, And get money from all the fantatics who want to go to space, Why let the tax payer bleed for silly dreams?

  • @lunafringe10 You probably don't know the meaning of "life", then. Life on mars was likely possible, and this has nothing to do with traveling to mars or any other planets.

  • Now they have to find U.K. nebula lol

  • CANADIANS!!! Come on us in the US and ya'll can figure out faster than light and go live in our own nebula!!!!

  • 8 people does not like this video? What is there not to like?

  • This is beautiful!! I had to watch it full-screen; it's so gorgeous... [warning, sarcasm ahead...] Really makes one wonder at how a 3,500-year-old Middle-Eastern-male-volcano god must have 'created' this billions-of-years-old wonder... >;}

  • @WWZenaDo You know how old god is? I didnt know that. Where does it say?

  • @valcan321 (Heh, heh...) WHICH 'god'??? Specify which one you're referring to, and I'll give you a direction to research... The Middle-Eastern male volcano 'god' of the bible is only as old as the books in which 'he's' mentioned - and the bible itself is only around 3,500 years old... On the other hand, if you would like to learn more... Research the Berekhat Ram figurine - it's around 232,000 years old - if not older - and quite possibly represents the first form of 'deity' - a GODDESS...

  • @WWZenaDo I know i was being a smartass. I thought you were some LISTEN TO ME! Aethist.

    No the Mideast has to have so many dang gods. So many different cultures and tribes have gone threw there.

    Of course there is Also the worship of Baal Which is dead now thank god.

    I've never understood those who reject the findings of science like astronomy because it isnt in the book.

    Some people freak out when they see things they cant explain it just makes me happier. imagine a world without mysteries.

  • @valcan321 Some "LISTEN TO ME!" atheist??? Why? What kind of "atheist" are you?? >:D Seriously, the fact that the human race has had so many deities throughout its development, precludes ANY of them being the "true" god. I am always amazed at how that simple fact escapes most people - but then again, most people don't even know the origins of the religion that they're practicing, let alone the history of religion as a whole. I've always said, the OLDEST deity is most likely the "real" one.

  • @WWZenaDo LOL I believe in God. I have often wondered if there could have been MANY gods or godlets. Beings of suffiecent power threw science or otherwise to take on the cloth of a god.

    The Universe and time are massive things

    The funny thing though. Why is it pretty much every single culture and people have the Idea or stories of gods...except for one tribe of indians in South America that were barely above the level of animals culturaly and technology. And yes i know i misspelled atheist :P

  • @valcan321

    What is also funny is that every culture thought the earth was flat. Now we don't, because the evidence is too convincing. But still, religion get the benefit of the doubt even when the suppose word of God has been debunked many times (flat earth, earth is center of universe and what not).

    But something that is invisible, well, we never can give convincing proof to dumb people because how can we proof that an invisible man exist. We can't, so why are we debating anyway ROFL. :)

  • @valcan321 Funny thing, the earliest deities were almost always Goddesses, not 'gods'. Go back 10,000 years - 30,000 years, and beyond - most ancient forms of worship have an "Earth" mother or fertility goddess at its core. I recently talked with a person who thought that 'ancient' meant only around 7,000 years old - and they attempted to argue that "monotheism" was the earliest form of worship. It would shock them to learn that early semi-monotheistic worship was of "bird" goddesses, ...

  • @valcan321 That's an over-simplified description of the situation, but what can one do with only 500 characters available?

  • @WWZenaDo What can you do thats life there is never enough space.

    I preffer to think that every group of people has at one point seen a little bit of God i guess you could say. No one has it right....but we are working on it.

  • @valcan321 Ah, okay, let me point something out, again... IF there is a 'supreme deity', then logically the OLDEST deity would be the "true" deity... Sooo.... Since the bible is only around 3,500 years old, the Egyptian holy writings only around 4,000 - 5,000 years old, but the goddesses' icons - statues - charms - totems - range from [up to] 11,000 years up to 232,000 years of age, that means that the OLDEST DEITIES on earth ARE GODDESSES. So, when you talk about 'god', you're off the beam.

  • @WWZenaDo LOL but that assumes a GOD would even have a gender. He/she/it may assume any form it so wishes. Maybe what we call GOD is the combined concousness of a entire species.

    It all comes down to What Is God.

    And no one can answer that.

  • I wonder if it's got a debt issues too...

  • lol its so weird to see dislikes on this video. like, it doesnt even conflict with anything in ur life, its just a harmless distant nebula and u proceed to dislike it? lolz

  • @Ivin3690 The people who dislike this videos are christian creationists, because these videos tend to focus on science and reason,

  • The nebula is beautiful but it looks nothing like North America lol.

  • anyone who dislikes these videos are bmw driving cocks

  • North America! Fukk yeah!!!

  • Stop. Mute. Open "we are all made of stars" in another window. Watch your legacy.

  • @8DX

    Moby suckks!!!

  • @psychoscribe13 But you can suck as much as you want, you're still made of stardust...

  • @8DX

    I know. I'm just saying that Moby is made out of the kind of stardust that sucks....IMHO

  • Anyone know what % of the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is found in dark nebulae?

  • he narrates with the same condescending tone as the hosts on NPR. Combine that with the overly dramatic, day-time TV theme music, and I find it hard to listen to his words.

  • Its all been warped through gravity lenses so its not how it seems, really its a wall with "end of the universe" sprayed on it.

  • A star is born.

  • It's too big. :(

  • It looks beautiful

  • why don't they just rename this channel bestofastronomy and be done with it.

  • @kyebean Because you can't rename channels? :P

  • @TheLaughingOut yeah you're probably right, but it's annoying, I feel like a biologist could make all humans immortal, and I'd still be watching Dr. J talk about some bootiful nebula. bestofscience indeed.

  • @kyebean Some of us like nebulae and those who don't, don't watch.

  • @TheLaughingOut I like nebulae too, I just think that if you name your channel "The Science Channel - Best0fScience" that maybe you should mention something outside of astronomy once in a while.

  • @kyebean Do you want Mr. Wizard like stuff added?

  • @SlackerSlayer not getting the reference...

  • @kyebean Minor sci-demonstrations.

  • @SlackerSlayer lol ok I watched some vids, I was born in 89 see.

  • @kyebean I guess you did miss Mr. Wizard part two too. There are other posters beside this one that are science related.

  • @kyebean

    That's what I'm saying. I'm this huge molecular biology fan and all these science channels are always throwing up astronomy and astrophysics vids. Nevermind that just a few days ago, we just found the key molecule for the pluripotency for embryonic stem cells. Nobody knows that. Everybody is too busy looking at how pretty those gases in the sky looks.

  • @psychosavant

    everyone should be into biology as much as you. It would make the world a better place

  • @psychosavant yeah, biology is progressing so fast, as well as being so awesome and important to everyone's lives it's a tragedy it doesn't get more exposure.

  • The North American Nebula looks like the profile of a screaming skull, to me.

  • North American nebula? I thought it looked awful fat and lazy out there :-)

    It's watching Jersey Shore...I knew it.

  • once again, 1080p FTW!

  • Find the Europe Nebula, please!

  • humbling universe

  • At 1:32- 1:36 I see a persons chest in lower right corner w/long neck leading to an odd shaped head in center screen.

  • thanks :!!:mââaâ^:!!:

  • spore like music at the beginning :o

  • Don't have the words to express my thoughts... stunning... ? beautiful... ? just not good enough!! But great video, keep 'em coming!!! :-)

  • I dont see the "america" shape, I see it looks somehow like US which is different, america is a whole freaking continent, why does US uses the word "america" to resemble everything related with them, pure bullshit.

    And even if we could agree it looks a little bit like US there are plenty of other shapes we could compare this nebula with.

  • @P4R4C0 they said "north america" which includes Canada.....why are you mad?

  • @TheLuckySaGe im not mad, I just dont see how even while talking about science people comment "its american" and "It totally looks like US", cant find a reason to say, even if it looked like north america, that it resembles the US

  • @P4R4C0 I thought America was synomous with USA by now with South/North America refering to the two individual continents. America isn't a continent if you will, it's a reference to the two continents South America and North America.

  • @egadw thats what is taught there, you can ask almost anyone from the rest of the world about what do they think is America and they will say its a really big Continent, "discovered" by Spain

  • @P4R4C0 They are idiots then.

  • USA USA USA lol

  • @death0note0owner08 You forgot about Canada. It is in North America as well.........

  • @TheLuckySaGe Canada who..... JK :} canada's cool. beautiful Nebula

  • Anyone see that dark red oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico part? 

  • WTF!!!!! hahhaahahahaha

  • lets move on to space already!

  • it's american!

  • Space is so beautiful !

  • "strangely resembles"? you mean "remotely resembles"?

  • Nothing interesting in the Midwest region....

  • what a load of crap, NONE HAS EVER seen a star form. Stop pretending we know how.

  • @JohnMuise We've seen it numerous times, in various stages of stellar formation. Stop being an idiot.

  • @Helge129 Umm i am sorry but you're wrong. We see stars blow up all the time however we have not once seen a star form. You claim that we see them forming in various stages, ok fine however that is an interpretation. All this Big bang crap and other stellar ideals are unproven, unprovable and in my opinion the only reason people pursue these assumtions is to push an agenda.

  • @JohnMuise Uh, the big bang theory is the only logical conclusion from the movement of the galaxies, they are all moving away from a common point. Also telescopes can look back a fraction of a second before the big bang, we don't have one strong enough yet tho.

    If you saw a baby, a 5 year old, a 10 year old and a 16 year old, would you not instantly recognize who of them is how old roughly? The same applies to stars.

    These theories are proven, thus colloquially, are facts.

  • @JohnMuise And that agenda would be? It's much more profitable to disprove a theory.

  • @JohnMuise And then there's this: It takes thousands, if not millions of years for a star to form.

  • @JohnMuise And what "Agenda" is being pushed, in persuing knowledge, and promoting world peace and acceptance? Science has no bias, and no judgements. Last time I checked though, people kill each other everyday, and in the name of their "God". Who's really pushing an Agenda? Science, or Religion? I think the answer is pretty obvious.

  • @JohnMuise

    Oh no. Don't say that. If the coalition of the worldwide scientific conspiracy finds out that you are aware of their agenda, they'll find you and silence you. The only way you can keep the evil scientists at bay is to grab your holy text and hide in a closet with nothing but his holy word and a candle. The less clothing the more chance you have of getting through this. And don't forget that the only way to find truth is to ask an invisible man in the sky to give it to you.

  • People can thumbs up or thumbs down my comment. But pictures like these do not make me doubt God's existence in the wonders and beauties He has created.

  • @FATE522 I thumbs down. U MAD BRO?

  • @jdbg1

    Of course you would call me mad. But I will not get in the discussion of argument. I don't care what you think of me or even the world.

  • @FATE522 i dont think you get the joke but what ever. Go to w ww . theartoftrolling . com to understand

  • @jdbg1

    I apologize for not understanding the joke. I am just used to be called insane or as such for testifying of God.

  • if you ever want a sweet desktop background, hubble images will never fail

  • sooo beautiful i feel like im there LOL((~*{

  • @thedarkone2134 it’s so sad that you hide yourself from science out of fear that you will see what is already as plain as day! I hope that one day you beat the burden of religion.....it’s a sickness that has damaged this world for far too long!

  • It's beautiful, but it looks more like a danish.

  • Does anyone feel weird when you image some civilization out there trying to look back at us?

  • gorgeous

    it's like artwork. 

  • damn stars from the southern nebula trying to take the jobs of us hard working northern part of our nebula

  • Beautiful.

  • the music is beautiful

  • imo, the nebula actually resembles the north american continent as much as those friggin zodiac signs resemble their star formations..

    o.o

  • @quoabell yeah it so depends on which wavelength your capturing...

  • @quoabell yeah same with the tarantula nebula. I didn't see a tarantula.

  • @goodvibrato: The nebulas visible with small to medium telescopes were all named from naked eye observations from Galileo's day up to, perhaps, the 1920s. The naked eye appearance is rather different from the multi-spectral, enhanced photos we see today. If you are really interested, tear yourself away from your video game, go get yourself a small telescope and go look for yourselves.

  • @puncheex Ah. Well, thanks for the explanation...mom. 

  • @goodvibrato You're lucky. I see tarantulas everywhere.

  • @quoabell Oh, fer the love a'... Does anyone criticize YOU when you see shapes in the clouds or see "jezuz" on a tortilla???? It's called "imagination", man... >:}

  • The photos are taken using different lenses. For example, 1 would be using a heat detector, one would be a standard photon lense, one would use an infared sensor.

    They then marge all of the photos they get which are all comprimised of different colours depending on the style of lesne they use.

    And for the photoshop business, I use photoshop to create digital space art, It can be used to merge the images, like most image editing software.

    So in a way it is altered but only by merging.

  • Actually I take it back. They do use a modified photoshop.

    To see how these images are made check this video:

    watch?v=p5c1XoL1KFs

  • Why are people arguing about this?

    The photos here are a result of VERY long exposures taken by telescopes that are sensitive to a broader range of light than the human eye can see. Most likely, each image is a composite of images taken by several telescopes which all see a different part of the spectrum.

    The full spectrum is then compressed into visible light so that we can actually see everything.

    The use of Photoshop is unlikely since it doesn't have this capability unless modified heavily.

  • Beautiful.

  • This channel should be renamed Best0fYoutube. Awesome

  • America-Rhapsody in Blue

  • @mrtapoche1 just like the american history :)

  • I'm not an expert but i don't think those colors are a post work of photoshop. This photos have a large time of exposure and therefore they can get very vivid colors as a result.

    i.e. you can take some pictures of a city landscape at night, the photos with a short exposure will get less color variety on the lights but with a long exposure, not only you'll get more colors, they will also be more vivid.

  • @ZZzzzzzWhat

    Many of the photos are doctored, the formations seen are not visible to the human eye IE outside the visible light spectrum. AFAIK they take the photos in various forms such as UV.

  • @MudHut67 by doctored photos do you mean the are altered after they are taken?

    i know these images aren't visible to the human eye, but the colors i mentioned in the example aren't either. What i was trying to say is that these colors aren't the result of a post work in programs such as photoshop, but a result of a long exposure of the camera. the longer the exposer the more visible the stars and nebulas are.

  • @ZZzzzzzWhat: Of course they're altered. Almost all the pics actually taken, regardless of the instrument, are monochrome (even the normal colored shots) - they register the intensity of a single wavelength (or band of wavelengths) of EM radiation. The colors are chosen to highlight the particular things a study is interested in, and to combine as many of these as needful onto a single pic. Long exposure times increase the brightness of the image. What is "vivid" and how is it measured?

  • @puncheex i agree with you.

    vivid colors = strong colors

  • Great and educational information for me. Thanks for uploading it.

  • If we spray some Pledge into the sky, can we see the stars without all the dust?

    ;-)

  • @nishbrown you're pure genius

  • @nishbrown Has to be lemon pledge though!

  • @nishbrown We need to get hold of a duster the size of sweden first! lol

  • @nishbrown Yeah but it would take several thousand solar mass worth. :)

  • @nishbrown Anyone who dosent like your comment didn't get it, it took me a sec to get it too. But im normaly slow like that.

    X-D

  • of course it is colored in! the human eye can't see infrared. THINK!

  • I never understood, are the gas clouds those colors if flew out in space to have a look, or are the colors enhanced?

  • @maxergud I'm pretty sure they're enhanced by a lot.

  • @maxergud Actually, those clouds' color aren't real. They used photoshop to edit it.

  • @daveyt88 Well that's disappointing ... :P

  • @maxergud They are much, much more beautiful and exciting in reality, but our eyes and brains are unable to see and therefore even comprehend what they would look like in their true spectral form.

    If you could see gamma radiation, the night sky to you would be as bright as day.

    The computor only puts colour to the parts of the spectrum you can't see, just to give you a better picture.

  • @maxergud

    Since infrared and UV radiation hyve no "color" you have to give them one in the visible spectrum. Almost all of these pictures are combined pictures, representing a whole range of wavelength compressed into the visible spectrum. But even the pictures called "as seen in the visible spectrum" are already highly "enhanced" to make details more visible.

  • @maxergud They are not that colour. They would be a lot, lot dimmer to the naked eye. So dim you would likely just see them as slightly darker patches of sky against the galaxy in the background. That said, 0:24 does show what it would look like if your eyes were much, much more sensitive.

  • @maxergud You can't actually see most of these things in the visible light spectrum. They are many different images of the same object taken from different spectrum's of light, then layered together in a different color for each spectrum. Its kind of what you might see if your eyes could see every spectrum of light all at the same time.

  • This is absolutely amazing
