Tour of Star-Forming Region Sharpless 2-106

A 3-D visualization of the star-forming region Sharpless 2-106 (a.k.a. S106) takes us through a wonderland of stars and glowing gas.

Hi. Thanks for the kind words about our visualization. To make these

sequences, we use a variety of astronomy software plus PhotoShop, GIMP,

Maya, and AfterEffects. To create 3D information, we use scientific

knowledge, scientific intuition, and artistic license (in that order) ...

... We separate the stars and the nebula into image layers and use those

as textures in our 3D models. Stars are billboards oriented toward

thecamera, with a statisical distribution of distances. The nebula is

sculpted to its approximate 3D shape, with perhaps the transparency

being the most difficult detail ...

Thanks for watching!

I also added some links in the description that give more information about how the videos were made.

@jack5161996 I am sorry I upset you. All matter exists and cannot be created or destroyed brother. Emotions are matter which we attempt to transfer to others. But it does not disappear, the pain we have just hurts those near us. Therefore the comment that I perceive as anger could cause destruction in my heart like sin. But Jesus has filled me with love for you. So lol, jk, bff, l8, R2D2 and remember Jesus will heal you.

Am I the only one who sees three bright stars above the right wing of an angel? And it also appears that there is a red star under the left wing that has a red skull emanating from it. WOW!!! That is proof to me of our LORD God's glory, whether or not you can see what I see. Amen!!!
