The video starts looking at Pluto’s moon, Charon, and it visits all the planets of our solar system, including Earth. Then we move 100 light years away to circle the Sun, away again to 15.000 light years, travelling outside the galaxy, to finally travel 500.000 light years away from it.

Second in the series with an inderterminate number of parts.
Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot tells us a lot more about our place in the Cosmos than any creation myth cooked up by men. The reality of how stars and worlds are born makes the primitive explanations of our ancestors pale in comparison. The fact that no scripture holds a description of the creation of the Earth that comes even vaguely close to the reality we have discovered speaks volumes as the origins of these texts. They do not contain the facts because the facts are beyond the comprehension and imagination of the human brain.

All 5 Parts of Hubble And Beyond – Telescope in Space

Original Air Date 2005 — We search the night sky wondering what lies out there but our telescopes could only take us so far. As far as the light of the universe has traveled to reach us its way is blocked in its finale mile by the blurring effect by our atmosphere. Astronomers realized to capture the pristine light of the universe they would need to put a telescope into outer space. For fifteen years the Hubble Space Telescope has been capturing breath taking images of Stars, Galaxies, Nebulas and more. But after fifteen years in space the light from the fabled telescope is now fading. The question before NASA and the public can Hubble be fixed by robots or will it take a daring rescue in space. Is Hubbles cosmic rein now coming to and end?

Hubblecast 32: Born in Beauty – Proplyds in the Orion Nebula.
Visible to the naked eye, only 1500 light-years from Earth, the great Orion Nebula has been known and revered since ancient times.
A popular target of Hubble, researchers have now identified 42 new discs within it that could be the beginnings of new planetary systems like our own.

14-Dec-2009: A collection of 30 never-before-released images of embryonic planetary systems in the Orion Nebula are the highlight of the longest single Hubble Space Telescope project ever dedicated to the topic of star and planet formation.
Also known as proplyds, or protoplanetary discs, these modest blobs surrounding baby stars are shedding light on the mechanism behind planet formation. Only the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with its high resolution and sensitivity, can take such detailed pictures of circumstellar discs at optical wavelengths.
Looking like a graceful watercolour painting, the Orion Nebula is one of the most photogenic objects in space and one of the Hubble Space Telescope’s favourite targets. As newborn stars emerge from the nebula’s mixture of gas and dust, protoplanetary discs, also known as proplyds, form around them: the centre of the spinning disc heats up and becomes a new star, but remnants around the outskirts of the disc attract other bits of dust and clump together.
Proplyds are thought to be young planetary systems in the making. In an ambitious survey of the familiar nebula using Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), researchers have discovered 42 protoplanetary discs.
Visible to the naked eye, the Orion Nebula has been known since ancient times, but was first described in the early 17th century by the French astronomer Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc — who is given credit for discovering it. At 1500 light-years away, the nebula, also known as Messier 42, is the closest star-forming region to Earth with stars massive enough to heat up the surrounding gas, setting it ablaze with colour, and making the region stand out to stargazers.

Hubblecast features news and Images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
The space-based observatory is a collaboration between NASA and ESA. The observations are carried out in visible, infrared and ultraviolet light. In many ways Hubble has revolutionised modern astronomy.
The Hubble Space Telescope has made some of the most dramatic discoveries in the history of astronomy. From its vantage point 600 km above the Earth, Hubble can detect light with “eyes” five times sharper than the best ground-based telescopes and looks deep into space where some of the most profound mysteries are still buried in the mists of time.
