MPL3D Solar System Tour 1

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under solarsystem | 25 Comments »

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.

Finished animation for a school project. The Solar System.

Note: Celestial bodies’ sizes, distances and speeds are not realistic.

There are stars in the background but the compression erased them so they are not really visible.

All 5 Parts of Hubble And Beyond – Telescope in Space
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A5555EF116D45358

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 22: Hubble Space Telescope Directly Observes Exoplanet Orbiting Fomalhaut.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn’s.
