  • i have a question: are these amazing nebulae/galazy photos that show blue, pink, purple, orange colours etc true to life? so if i flew close to one in the shuttle would it appear as all those amazing colours? i think i'm right in saying photos from the hubble (and other telescopes, i'm not sure) have their colour "filled in" after being received as infrared?

  • @FeebleMuffin you should DEFINITELY subscribe to DeepSkyVideos - videos coming soon!

  • I subscribed to this channel hoping I might appear smart

  • @FletcherHabit well if you subscribe to Sixty Symbols, you have done one smart things for sure!

  • Jade is a witch in space! :D

    (I commend anyone that gets that reference)

  • after almost 19 years of being alive... i have finally found out why the sky is blue

  • maybe I'm dumb, but couldn't the red colour in the witches broom be the red light passing through the witches broom while the blue is reflected back (from stars from behind)?

  • @FeebleMuffin Probably the latter, but don't be that disappointed...if humans could see outside of the tiny spectrum of radiation limited by our eyes and minds I'm sure they would look even more amazing than the "filled in" photos. Just because you (we) can't see it doesn't mean it's not really beautiful. Perhaps other creatures or life forms can see similar images without any help from telescopes

  • Qu for you awesome folks at sixtysymbols: have any of you produced any work/speculation on possibilities for making science tilt more in the direction of increasing rather than diminishing income equality -- identified by social epidemiology literature as the most critical literature for human species welfare/survival. Yes, this is a stretch for physics, but trust that you can do better than Von Braun's "where the the V2s land is not my dept." Thanks in advance;

    citations available.

  • @FeebleMuffin No they aren't and if you flew past one you probably wouldn't even notice because they are huge, the only way to admire them is through Hubble and with the added colors. Each color represents different particles, temperature, etc...

  • @FeebleMuffin The photos of astronomical objects taken from telescopes are digitally enhanced from combined images of mostly radio, gamma, microwaves and infrared radiation. Visible light and ultraviolet light don't usually add to the "spectacular" effect of normal photos.

  • Who's the dummy with the bad grammar?
