No wonder this video only has 9 comments total O_O It's a good video, but you guys are talking about some boring shit XD This was meant for Halloween you guys, not to be taken and used to be 'Sensationalized' or 'Mediocre' XD No offense.
@Emanusmell As the person responsible for creating these images for Spitzer and other missions I can assure you they ARE real images of space. Representing infrared light using colors we can see does not make the image any less real, anymore than reading an English translation of a Japanese manuscript makes the content false. Check for the "phony colors" blog on the Spitzer website for more info.
Popularize science by appealing to perennial interest in "spooky" stuff? Hmm...
I object to any mention of "ghosts, spiders or snakes" in space-science. Why?
It's too easy for delusional folk to get false ideas from these associations; & these images can be misrepresented by non-scientists. Internet trolls steal content like this and re-present it as fictional fear-mongering tripe.
Let's not give them any help, OK?
So far, this is my only criticism of the otherwise fine Spitzer videos.
@OldSchoolSkill um dont you thing people have gone smarter than they were in the middle ages ? I mean now evryone that has internet had eductaion atleast untill highschool.....
People are more informed than during the middle ages, but as witnessed by the perniciously pervasive presence of religion, obviously many people are not.
High-school education; it's not very good. I know graduates who can't find Iraq on a globe, can't do calculus, can't quote Shakespeare.
Internet? Potentially great thing! However, it is largely infested with mediocre content. We have to dig for quality. That's why I like this channel, but hate to see it sensationalized.
@OldSchoolSkill Well you do have a point I guess although I dont thing quoting shakespeare is so importand at my countrie schools don teach shakespire and are collage level ..... but I guess most countries dont have that ...... I know USA education system doesnt and most countries use that .... anyways I am bit offtopic and yes I guess the internet really is infested with modicore content!
FABULOUS!!! :O

sadly these are not real images of space.
These are artist renditions of the data to put it in a way that idiots like us find attractive and comprehend
