Take an exhilarating ride through the Orion Nebula, a vast star-making factory
1,500 light-years away. Swoop through Orion's giant canyon of gas and dust.
Fly past behemoth stars whose brilliant light illuminates and energizes the
entire cloudy region. Zoom by dusty tadpole-shaped objects that are fledgling
solar systems. This virtual space journey isn't the latest video game but one of
several groundbreaking astronomy visualizations created by specialists at the
Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, the science operations
center for NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
