NASA shared three-dimensional virtual tour of several dark pillars of cold gas in Carine Nebula that create “fantasy-like structures”. Taking to official social media accounts of NASA Hubble, video was shared on October 13 which is derived from two-dimensional ims captured from Hubble Telescope. According to NASA, stars and nebula were separated using both scientific kwledge and artistic license to create depth in video.

se “bizarre” structures were formed as relative distances between stars and nebula have been “greatly compressed” resulting in an “intriguing journey through a virtual cosmic landscape.” While sharing engrossing video, NASA wrote on Instagram, “Winds and radiation from massive stars in nebula carve away at se clouds, creating bizarre, fantasy-like structures.”

'Sounds of universe'

Before ‘fantasy-like structures’ in Carine Nebula were shared based on observations from telescope, Hubble also contributed to bringing “stunning cosmic sights”. Even though re is sound in , NASA assigned pitches to several stars and galaxies and shared data in a unique way called “data sonification”. This includes translation of digital data into ims which is furr transformed into sound. NASA said in a statement that “ Chandra X-ray Observatory team combined ir observations with those from Hubble Telescope and Spitzer Telescope to create se sonifications.”

Earlier this month, NASA had shared a spectacular photograph of  NGC 5643, a galaxy which is a part of constellation Lupus. im of spiral galaxy was captured by ncy’s Hubble Telescope and it took a total of nine hours for scientists to click im. “Looking this good isn’t easy; 30 different exposures, for a total of nine hours of observation time, toger with high resolution and clarity of Hubble, were needed to produce an im of such high level of detail and beauty,” ESA which jointly owns Hubble with NASA wrote on its website.
