think I just found my fave gif ever
picibird
Would be one hell of a phone wallpaper animating accordingly to tilting movements.

Love a good nebula

Quiet literally amazing
thegraphiteknight
I stared at these for a long time. Very cool.

Neat
ladyinthesheetsfreakonthestreets
This is crazy awesome.
Rumpelstiltskinner
Holy fuck, that is impressive. I wonder if anyone has done full 3D flyarounds?
SomeAngelDude
funny how nature do
ChairmanLMA0
These are a little nebulous for my tastes

Skyrim?

Neat

I love this. It's so hard to tell which stars are closer than others and this gives space depth perception.
Rivalyn
These always make me sad because we could be in the middle of a nebula right now and we'd never know it because you can't see them up close.
dronir
I'm an astronomer and I'm pretty sure we'd know it based on e.g. how the light from stars at different distances would get dimmer.
dronir
But I have to admit that I know very little about the interstellar medium beyond some basic course I took like eight years ago.
StarFox4ever
Now I'm in the mood to watch star trek. Voyager ... maybe tng. Hmmm. These are great, btw!
SuperDork42
WHAT?! A fellow Voyager nerd? THERE ARE DOZENS OF US MICHAEL, DOZEEEEENNNNNNSSSSS!
dontyourushme
Awesome! A full 360 turn would've been more awesome though!
hotrats
Ya, we'll just circle the entire fucking universe so you can watch a 10-second gif.
dontyourushme
A worthy mission, I'd say!
Cereaza
I think Space is gonna be the coolest VR experiences out there. Universe sims that have this shit... Off the chain, IMO.
ithinkifoundit
It probably took about 6 months to make these gifs
handyrzfg
You are clearly a bear.
CyriousLordofDerp
Parallax effect. Each one of these images was taken over a 6 month period then stitched together to form the image.
IalwaysupvoteKorra
They have to be using some serious extrapolation though. The Lagoon Nebula is 4100 ly away. Thats 1250pc. That equates to 0.0008" parallax.
IalwaysupvoteKorra
0.0008" (arcseconds) is about 2,22222e-7 degrees. So the nebula is so far away that it basically does not have any parallax at all.

Sigh.. *unzips brain*

How can I set it as my phone background?

Better ingredients. Better fapping. PapaPengo's.
PapaPengo
Aww yeah. Better ingredients
theclap67
i love how thats where your brain went with all that info
duojet
I'm a little odd.
theclap67
That's why we're here right?
fajiggle
I wonder how fast you'd have to go to get this effect with the bare eye.
hotrats
A lot faster than light, so it's not going to happen.
fajiggle
I guess that's not to mention the massive change in acceleration to get the back and forth motion.
HouseOfEvil
So about how far & fast I'm I traveling left & right here to be able to see these nebulae like this?
hotrats
I'm guessing 'far' will be the diameter of the Earth's orbit. So a lot faster than light which would take over 16 minutes.

You should favorite this if you aren't high right now because you'll really really appreciate this high.
IntheNameoftheBat
Precisely the reason I hit that heart.haha
suckitimdrwolf
So high right now. I appreciated it.
limpspinach
Yes. 100% yes.
TheShotThatGotYouNaked
I do, were looking at life forms doing their thing without seeing them. big woah man....
TheShotThatGotYouNaked
also my rap is moving with it, so more woah man....
itsonlysmells
I saved this a long time ago then randomly found it high
FartBubbles
And how awesome was it?
OneOfMyFavoritePartsOfBrowsingImgurIsTheAbsurdlyLongUsernames
Yes sir

An LSD high
Anonyfurb
Wait......are you high?
captainbananahammock
Have you ever seen the back of a dollar bill?
TheycallmeDanger
From someone who rarely ever gets high, so glad I found this rn
surfvvax
This is a neat effect, but in regards to how it would actually look in 3d, I'm afraid this says otherwise

there'd also be no colours, these are fancy composite images to show chemicals in the clouds

Beat me to it.
ScottLHolmes
I would presume the diameter of the earth's orbit would need to be a hell of a lot larger to get that much parallax.
RandomAbscessMemories
By many orders of magnitude.
planetfinder
A telescope in the Oort Cloud might be able to do this. It would only take like 20 years to get there.
imayormaynotbegroot
but the time it would take to get to opposite sides of orbit would be many decades if not centuries.. our solar system probably moves faster
imayormaynotbegroot
through space to get a wider angle than something that would orbit that slow
planetfinder
Fair point. Pluto's orbit is like 248 years so it would be faster to launch two telescopes in opposite directions.
