How We Are Going to the Moon - 4K

"Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the CANDELS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field, unveiling the kaleidoscopic array of galaxies and their intricate three-dimensional distribution. This captivating sequence guides you through a densely clustered galaxy ensemble located approximately 6 billion light-years away, extending its reach to galaxies more than double that distance. As the light from these distant galaxies traverses billions of years across the cosmos, the imagery unveils their ancient appearances, capturing moments from eons past.

Moreover, the relentless expansion of space has imparted a redshift to their light, stretching it towards longer wavelengths, into the realms of infrared and the red end of the visible light spectrum. Witness the evolving forms and visages of galaxies during this exhilarating fly-through, a visual tapestry chronicling billions of years of cosmic evolution. The acronym CANDELS represents the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey, a monumental endeavor undertaken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Encompassing five fields of study, CANDELS probes the evolution of galaxies across the annals of time.

Complementing the Hubble UDS images, these observations of the UDS field stand in synergy with data from the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. A collaborative effort between astronomers and visual artists yielded a meticulous extraction of over 26,000 galaxies from the Hubble UDS imagery. This data formed the foundation for a detailed computer model, meticulously crafted based on measured and estimated properties.

It's important to note that for cinematic effect, the visualized distances have been condensed significantly. Credits for this breathtaking odyssey go to NASA, ESA, F. Summers, J. DiPasquale, G. Bacon, and Z. Levey (STScI), with acknowledgment to H. Ferguson, A. Koekemoer, and the CANDELS Team. The ethereal music, "Rotisserie Graveyard" by Doctor Turtle, adds an atmospheric touch to the experience.
