Flight Through the Orion Nebula in Visible Light — Hubble Space Telescope Data Visualization @WaspieDwarf

Uploaded October 2024 | Updated September 2026, 17 minutes ago

This visualization explores the Orion Nebula as seen in visible-light observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. This movie is designed to be compared and contrasted against the companion movie using infrared-light observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope.

As the camera flies into the star-forming region, it reveals a glowing gaseous landscape that has been illuminated and carved by the high-energy radiation and strong stellar winds from the massive hot stars in the central cluster. The high-resolution visible observations show fine details including the wispy bow shocks and tadpole-shaped proplyds.

$Solar Sailing Our Way to the Outer Planets NASA researchers are working on a concept to use solar sail technology to get to Neptune and Uranus in a fraction of the time that it would take with current propulsion technology. Using the power of the Sun, the concept called SCOPE — short for ScienceCraft for Outer Planet Exploration — could help us unlock the secrets of the scarcely visited ice giants in our outer solar system. NASA 360 takes a look at the NASA Innovative Advanced Concept (NIAC) that could help us learn more about Neptune and Uranus.

NIAC is a visionary and far-reaching aerospace program, one that has the potential to create breakthrough technologies for possible future space missions. However, such early-stage technology developments may never become actual NASA missions. Credit: NASA #SolarSails #NIAC #NASA$
