Product Description

In visible light, the area resembles the continent of North America. This is also why it is known as the North America nebula. This image is taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. This telescope detects infrared light at wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns. As infrared light can penetrate dust, the dark clouds become invisible. Visible light on the other side, cannot pass through dust and the clouds are easily visible as dark areas.
Still, there are many things to see in this view. Clusters of young stars, about one million years old, can be seen all over the view. Also, there are slightly older stars, about three to five million years, dispersed over the image. The darkest areas in the image are clusters of the youngest stars in the complex. These stars are less than one million years old.
In this view, the colours had to be changed in order to make the image visible as the human eye cannot see infrared waves.
This discs comes with a scenic disc showing telescopes. This makes everybody feel even more like a real astronomer.

AMAZING!!

AMAZING!!
I never leave product reviews. This is worth every penny. I watch every night before I go to bed (set on 15 min timer). I use with the Sega Homestar Flux.I have seen some people say the images are not clear. You need to tinker with the focus and distance from the ceiling (5-7 ft is optimal). It will still blur a bit around the edges, but overall the image is beautiful!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020
This is one of their's best disk. Put on some trance music and kick back and relax. I want to buy all the disk. Don't see why they are so expensive though. I would pay 100 bucks for this. 180 is definitely expensive for what it is. But I enjoy it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020
Stay far away from this retailer. My disc came with scratches so I reached out for a refund or new disc and I got a horribly rude answer back about how most client just suck it up. I’m now left with black lines in my night sky which looks horrible. Horrible product, even worse customer service
