Zoom to NGC 2014 & NGC 2020

This video begins by zooming into the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. The small galaxy is ablaze with new star formation. The camera zooms up on one such region, called NGC 2014, which is full of colorful, glowing gases energized by a central cluster of newborn stars. The blue, ring-like feature at lower left (NGC 2020) is formed by a torrential gaseous outflow from a lone, massive, super-hot star at its center.

There's also that weird Optical illusion that happens by the end to contemplate...

– When it suddenly stops zooming in at the end, it seems to start zooming out in the middle, even though You know perfectly well that's not happening, specially after noticing how still all the borders are.
(NB: might need a big enough and high-res enough Screen to watch this video and its weird unintentional Optical illusion)


C Ya L8r then!. *;P*

You can zoom so far out into the universe and yet the video of Comet Neowise (the one on your homepage) doesn’t show that much. Why is that? I thought this comet was pretty close to earth, right? Should we be able to get a clear shot of that piece? Thanks for your explanation.

Let's not forget that we are a part of the ever-expanding universe. We are capable of so much.

Es increíble lo que ha logrado la NASA y lo que el mundo conoce del Universo gracias a los norteamericanos.
