That nebula is a bit bigger than a cats paw.

[TenaciouslyWinning]

keep going!

[MrBendix0]

Can I please use this video for editing purposes? If I upload anything, you'll receive full credit, i'd really appreciate it.

[djxatlanta]

@MrBendix0 - it's not my video -- it's ESO's. If you scroll to the bottom of the text description, you'll find the full credits to use and a link to download the high resolution original from ESO's website. Cheers!

[MrBendix0]

@djxatlanta  Thanks! I appreciate the help :D

[Calhoun0]

My God, it's full of stars!

[jonahmoffatt]

[dougpage73]

[HerrTelef]

Now we are on WARP 2984753r298356927

[DominarTyranT1]

it's magnificient !

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

Yeah me 2 man i can hook my HP up to my 26" Sanyo 720p it looks amazing !!!!! I did it with this one !!!!

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

Finally some nebulas in HD ... Lol everyone has nebula vids in shitty 480p and you can barely see detail its all fuzz.

[djxatlanta]

LOL... thanks! Do a search on my channel, and you'll find a few dozen nebula visualizations or animations -- most of them will be in 720p or 1080p. I have a media server hooked up to my entertainment system, and these videos look real sweet on a big screen.

[davidkazzmann]

Are you sure this is not some After Effects montage? IT looks too perfect... Beautiful, thought provoking.

Thanks!

[djxatlanta]

Oh, it is a montage -- the galaxy photo to start with is itself a montage of photographs of the sky taken from all over the world, and the video zooms into the ESO image of the Cat's Paw Nebula. Check out ESO's web site for more info on the galaxy panorama and other similar videos: eso [dot] org

[ah4fecksake]

@davidkazzmann pretty much what I was going to say.Astoundingly beutifull and fills with such wonderment!

[rea111666]

very interesting. more proof of God's greatness and our smallness ps. looks more like a mouse nebula than a cat's paw

[XomoMendestrelli]

@rea111666 The UNIVERSE is great. No gods are necessary.

[feinorgh]

@rea111666 What does God have to do with this?

[kitten313131]

You are right djxatlanta, very well named. And it is a beautiful image too. Thanks.

[thatdutchguy89]

only cats live there

[n3rdbear]

feline humanoids :]

[djxatlanta]

... right next door to the Cheezburger Nom-Nom Nebula

[gunnar045]

galaxy is boring..if you went to see it for own eyes that will be something

[sirnicholson]

lol

[Emre01689]

that´s great

[dirty9er415]

what a load of crap....people believe the dumbest things. FAKE

[dirty9er415]

@ DOC hahah, i guess

[djxatlanta]

Sorry you think so... I invite you to click on the "MORE INFO" link and scroll down to the end of the text, where you can click a text link to the European Southern Observatory's website and read about the history of the nebula and look at the beautiful photos of this object and others taken by the telescopes down in Paranal, Chile. Cheers!

How was space created, and why doe it exist?

[Ascensiam]

Well, that is a very good question, the bad part is that no one has figured it out yet.

[djxatlanta]

All of space and time in our universe was created at the "Big Bang" (really a misnomer) 13.7 billion years ago. Since time did not exist before the Big Bang (at least in the way we understand it), it's hard to describe why and how the it happened. One idea is that there are membranes floating around in a gigantic multi-dimensional "bulk" -- now and then, these 'branes' collide, and where and when they do, universes are created -- so our entire universe is basically the edge of a soap bubble.

[ronpack]

we are so lucky we don't live in a solar system that is surrounded by too much dust or we would not be able to see anything from the universe.

[djxatlanta]

True, but even if we did grow up in a dusty neighborhood, our technology would have eventually evolved with telescopes sensitive to all wavelengths of light (just as we have now). Still, even with our current position in the galaxy, the galactic center blocks our view of that part of the universe.

[ronpack]

ya, but eventually (millions of years?) the galaxy would have spun enough for us to see the rest of the universe but hopefully by then, we'll be travelling through the universe '-))

[GTFOMC09]

just load a spaceship full of food an ill go exploring :P

[Squasharr]

add some weed to that and I'd need nothing more.

maybe some chick I didn't need to talk to or something

[GTFOMC09]

rofl right on :P

[djxatlanta]

ketamine's much more fun for space travel. ;-)

[Rumanunamur]

it looks beautiful!

[goatenhiem]

The ambient track makes viewing this very awesome. Who is the ambient artist?

[djxatlanta]

John Dyson: w w w . j o h n d y s o n m u s i c . c o m (I had to type the URL like that because YouTube blocks URLs in their comments)

[blackbookdesign]

It's google earth but it's facing the wrong way.... infinite zooming yeah!

[swagv]

Are we supposed to spot the Keyboard Nebula nearby?

[te5tdriver]

That's trippy.

[XxXKUL]

I can has nebula?

[broderickg2]

WE. ARE. NOTHING.

[djxatlanta]

In the grand scheme of things, we are all each pretty insignificant, but think of it this way, if the Universe didn't come into existence 13.7 billion years ago, YOU wouldn't be here. :) Even if we're all just a bunch of walking biological collections of chemical reactions, we're all still a part of the universe and wouldn't be here without it. Cheers!

[Impu1sik]

I haven't got words to explain it... <3

[31337ru]

I want to live there!

[XotGuy]

Amazing...
