the Milky Way
appears to pass over us,
while the telescopes
twist and turn,
tracking distant
objects in the sky.
Nowhere else in the world can you
see the stars shine as brightly.
On the clearest of nights,
you can see your own shadow,
cast from the light of
millions of distant stars.
And as we explore the heavens,
we have found
the birthplace of stars.
and dust is the Carina Nebula.
It's a star factory,
churning out
thousands of stars,
some of which are the
brightest in our Milky Way.
You could
call it a stellar nursery.
Because in
a nebula like this one,
stars are being formed.
are relatively young,
they're not exactly small.
And there are a huge
range of star types.
In fact, our own sun would have been formed
in a cloud of gas and dust just like this.
Sometimes, these nebula are named
by the shapes that they seem to make.
Here's one with
a great nickname.
The Snow Angel Nebula.
The blue wings of the snow
angel are actually hot gas,
being illuminated by a huge star
forming in the middle of this hourglass.
The astronomers who named
the War and Peace Nebula
could see a dove
dancing in the gas.
I don't see it myself,
and I'm more interested
They're shining hundreds
of thousands of times
brighter than our sun.
But not every
nebula is a stellar nursery.
Arabian, Japanese
and Chinese astronomers
all recorded a strange,
lingering light in the sky,
as bright as the full moon.
They were witnesses
to the death of a star.
scattered gas and dust particles
60 billion miles
into the cosmos,
forming this.
The Crab Nebula.
Sometimes, astronomers
look deep into the sky
and see the cosmos
looking right back at them.
This magnificent
eye in the sky
is just the remnants
of a burned-out star
that has shed its outer layers
back into the universe.
By studying
formations like this,
we now know that stars
come and go from the universe.
Just like life begins
and ends here on Earth.
Beyond our Milky Way,
you'll find stars,
gas and dust
clumped together in huge
structures called galaxies.
Galaxies come in
all shapes and sizes,
but what I love
most about them
is that the light that I'm seeing
was created way back in time.
Light from even
takes two and a half million
years to reach us.
And the deeper I
look into space,
This means that galaxies
are like fossil records
of how the universe
used to look and act.
So in a way,
my work is a little bit
time travel
and a little bit
cosmic archeology.
