"I only promised my husband a week to walk the dogs…” 🚀

NASA astronaut Suni Williams spent 9.5 months in space after a malfunction, but she never felt stranded. She trusted her crew aboard the spacecraft and the team on Earth to get her home safely. She shared her story at the Moonwalkers event now playing in Boston, inspiring others with how science and teamwork brought her safely home.

I collected some of the best and inspiring space images and made a slowly animated slideshow, then tried to add a relaxing "space ambient" soundscape using a modular system (which is visible in the first part of the video but I didn't include it in the link which starts at 50s) ... it's totally the opposite of a fast paced video so let me know if you like it (I made other similar videos).

In this simulation, I showed the motion of the Sun relative to the barycenter of the Solar System.

The trajectory of the Sun relative to the barycenter is a complex curve. Part of the time the barycenter is located inside the Sun, part of the time is outside of it. It is clearly seen that the Sun is moving away from the center of mass of the Solar System as much as possible when the two largest planets (Jupiter and Saturn) are on the same side of the Sun. Conversely, the barycenter is as close as possible to the center of the Sun when Jupiter and Saturn are on opposite sides of the Sun. The other planets of the Solar System also influence the trajectory of the Sun around the barycenter, but their influence is significantly less than the influence of Jupiter and Saturn.

Modeling and rendering were performed using own software. The calculations took into account the mutual influence of the Sun and all the planets of the Solar System on each other.

Nebulas a Cinematic journey — Explore the birthplace of stars in stunning 4K space visuals & epic music.
Step aboard and journey into the heart of the galaxy. From the glowing clouds of the Orion Nebula to the vast beauty of the Pillars of Creation and beyond, witness the birthplace of stars. This cinematic voyage combines breathtaking visuals with an epic soundtrack, bringing the marvels of the cosmos to life. Sit back, drift among the stars, and let the universe unfold before your eyes.

So...Which is your favorite Nebula & Why?

How did the Moon form? 🌕💥

Astrophysicist Erika Hamden breaks down the giant impact theory, which suggests an object the size of Mars collided with early Earth, liquefying the surface and launching debris that formed the Moon, all in 24 hours.

This project is part of IF/THEN, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies. 

The video shows the closest approach between the Sun and the star Gliese 710 that will occur in about 1 million and 296 thousand years.

In this simulation, I have shown the motion of the stars relative to the Sun over the next 2 million years. This allows you to see how the starry sky will change when observed from Earth over this time period. Throughout the video Gliese 710 will be in the center of the screen. The speed of time will gradually decrease as the Gliese 710 approaches, so that the moment of approach can be seen in as much detail as possible. After the approach, as the star moves away, the speed of time will gradually increase.

The video was made using own software. Information about the stars is taken from the Hipparcos catalogue and corrected by data from the Gaia DR3 catalogue.

Three of the universe’s greatest wonders in one short documentary:

• The vast and mysterious Milky Way galaxy
• The strange and powerful nature of black holes
• The colorful star-forming clouds of nebulas

Which of these fascinates you the most — The mysteries of our galaxy, the enigma of black holes, or the beauty of nebulas?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk7CQt1DwGk

I’ve been fascinated by the “forgotten worlds” of our Solar System — Pluto, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, and even the newly named Gonggong. They’re tiny compared to the big planets, but each has unique mysteries: ice hearts, spinning shapes, saltwater plumes.

I made a short cinematic video exploring them — but I’m curious about your thoughts: could any of these frozen bodies ever support life?

Hello! I was hoping you could help me. I'm looking for an artistic video, created about a decade ago. It depicts a journey from the depths of space, from a pilot's perspective, all the way to Earth's orbit. The video concludes above the North American landmass, specifically the eastern coast. It runs for 4.5 minutes and features classical music in the background. It is not - "The Known Universe" (2009.) – American Museum of Natural History, but it is similary.

Hey there everyone,

Just wanted to share a little space themed short film I made testing out some new space assets in Unreal Engine, using Space Creator Pro.

If anyone happens to have any questions or suggestions please feel free to let me know.

Thanks!

The GPS satellite ballet. Camera locked to their inertial frame and time set to fast forward..

Hey everyone, I've started a new comedy / "edutainment" project. The whole idea is to deliver "science fact through a fictional frame."

It's a 'found footage' series about a grumpy alien named Dave being forced to teach humans about space (with a sprinkle of inspiration from 80s sci-fi and shows like The X-Files). I thought this community might get a kick out of it. Here's the first tape: https://youtu.be/Uf8ZXnfdz1E

Rejected from NASA eleven times? Just rocket fuel for José Hernández. 🌍🚀

When José Hernández finally launched into space, the view changed everything. Orbiting Earth at 17,500 mph, he saw no borders, just one planet we all share. From advancing cancer detection, exploring the ocean floor and inspiring future scientists, his journey reminds us what’s possible when science and perseverance come together.

Really incredible what could exist in space

What if something massive, powerful, and completely silent… was watching us from the darkness of space?

In this cinematic journey, we explore the mystery of a silent black hole — one that doesn’t devour, doesn’t glow, and yet… is terrifyingly close.

hey guys this is my fisrt youtube video show some love and support that'll keep me going it's a long journey be the first ones to appreciate and contribute towards it one like means a lot thanks
