Behind the Headlines

I ran across this in cyberspace — a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Hubble telescope. Using Hubble and independent images, you get a video trip to a distant nebula.
Keep in mind that the place you’ll visit is just 7,200 light-years away. Keep in mind that one light-year is about 5.879 trillion miles.
So, even if you squint or use binoculars, it would be really, really hard to see this place.
