Horsehead Nebula: Visible Zoom to Infrared Fly-in

This video begins with a visible-light zoom into the Horsehead Nebula and a cross-fade to an infrared-light view. The sequence starts with a wide-field, ground-based view of the Orion constellation. The view zooms into the Horsehead region on the left side of Orion’s belt. A cross-fade to infrared light reveals a view from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The three-dimensional interpretation has been sculpted to create a wispy and mountainous environment. This imaginative traverse of the glowing, gaseous landscape provides an inspiring spaceflight experience that brings the celestial scene to life.
