Pan Across NGC 2014 & NGC 2020

Posted by

This video pans across a diverse landscape of colorful, iridescent gases, streamers of dust, and a plethora of brilliant newborn stars in the nebula NGC 2014, located 163,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. The camera then sweeps toward a blue ring of glowing oxygen in neighboring nebula NGC 2020. The blue gas is formed by a torrential gaseous outflow from a lone, massive, super-hot star at its center.... Read More | Share it now!

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.... Read More | Share it now!

And it isn’t just showing you a screensaver like a computer monitor would; The Frame is using every trick it can to sell the illusion that it’s a genuine printed image. Between that, the magnetic frame bezels and the flush wall mount with single ultrathin power and data cable … I simply couldn’t resist. When, last November, I saw The Frame at my local electronics store on the first TV-buying expedition of my life, I just had to have it – even though for the price, I could have bought two or three 65″ TVs that didn’t pull double duty as a “Frame.”...
