Orion Nebula Fly-Through at High Resolution

Disclaimer:

I had no part in making this visualization. This visualization was released as part of a Hubble press release on April 26, 2001. The video release page contains only a low resolution MPEG-1 encoding of this visualization. The only high resoluion version I could find was an MPEG-2 version on the HubbleSource video clips page. I obtained the high resolution Quicktime file from the STScI animator and re-encoded it for AVI. I am posting both of these here for others to use.

Credit for the visualization should go to the folks listed on the HubbleSite page, which I quote here:
