This visualisation takes the viewer on a breathtaking flight through the Orion Nebula, a nearby star-forming region. The video has been produced using scientific imagery and data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. <br /> <br />As the camera flies into the nebula, the viewer sweeps past newborn stars, smouldering clouds heated by intense radiation, and tadpole-shaped gaseous envelopes surrounding protoplanetary disks. A glowing gaseous landscape is revealed, that has been illuminated and carved by the high-energy radiation and strong stellar winds from the massive hot stars in the central cluster. <br /> <br />Credit: <br />Directed by: Mathias Jäger <br />Visual design and editing: Nico Bartmann <br />Written by: Nicole Shearer <br />Footage: NASA, ESA, and F.
