@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.

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.
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... >;}
@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...
@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
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, ...
@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.
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
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.
@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.
@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.
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 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.
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.
@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
@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 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.
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.
@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!
@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.
@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.
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.
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.
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?
@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.
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.
Your video is awesome!

@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.

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.

@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.

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:

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.

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 9 months ago
@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 9 months ago
@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 9 months ago
@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?

vivid colors = strong colors

@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.
foxmcloud555 9 months ago
@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.
superdau 9 months ago
@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.
nashertheatheist 9 months ago
@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.
