The place is star cluster “westerlund 2”

This is where stars are born and the visualization is incredible.  The simple definition of a nebula is an interstellar cloud of hydrogen and helium as well as ionized gases of different elemental make up.  The majority of them span tens or even hundreds of light years across.  Eventually enough clumps of “space stuff” 😉 come together to form stars and planets.  This video takes you through an incredible trip to one particular nebula.

A three-dimensional perspective on Hubble’s 25th anniversary image of the nebula Gum 29 with the star cluster Westerlund 2 at its core. The flight traverses the foreground stars and approaches the lower left rim of the nebula Gum 29. Passing through the wispy darker clouds on the near side, the journey reveals bright gas illuminated by the intense radiation of the newly formed stars of cluster Westerlund 2. Within the nebula, several pillars of dark, dense gas are being shaped by the energetic light and strong stellar winds from the brilliant cluster of thousands of stars. Note that the visualization is intended to be a scientifically reasonable interpretation and that distances within the model are significantly compressed.

We hope you enjoy this video.  Some of the commenters on the thread are definitely into it!

This is AWESOME!! I CANT BELIVE IT! Dont worry guys, If you go to Full screen, It will be more realistic

This extra video shows off some incredible footage of other nebulae throughout space.  And in a related comment one of the viewers asks this question:

I’m extremely interested in space…can anyone tell me if there is no gravity in the vacuum of space, besides the gravity the massive objects create, how does it exist in the areas of space that are empty? If all the nebula are created from continual explosions of massive stars? Gravity shouldn’t exist if it’s destroyed in the explosion…

What do you think?
