This science visualization presents the dramatic landscape of two nebulas in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The video takes viewers on a close-up tour of the nebulas' three-dimensional structures, as deduced by scientists and artists. The visualization is an interpretation of the nebulas' complex structure and is based on images by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
