1 00:00:06,750 --> 00:00:04,320 hello everybody welcome to our latest 2 00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:06,760 Hubble hangout my name is Tony Darnell I 3 00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:08,830 am at the Space Telescope Science 4 00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:11,740 Institute and it is that time of the 5 00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:12,280 month 6 00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:20,289 oh great phrasing Tony I love visit with 7 00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:22,480 dr. Frank summers the outreach 8 00:00:25,919 --> 00:00:23,470 astronomer at the Space Telescope 9 00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:25,929 Science Institute who keeps tabs on all 10 00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:26,830 of the really cool and interesting 11 00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:29,199 things going on with Hubble and shares 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:33,430 them with us every every oh I did it 13 00:00:46,850 --> 00:00:41,290 again I had a dollar for every time I've 14 00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:49,980 you're the expert here Tony now I've got 15 00:01:04,560 --> 00:00:54,310 to figure out where it is darn it 16 00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:04,570 your echoes coming out somewhere and you 17 00:01:08,749 --> 00:01:06,070 get to hear your mistake coming at you 18 00:01:14,849 --> 00:01:12,959 so while Tony figures that out I'll just 19 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:14,859 say that it's always fun for me to be 20 00:01:20,489 --> 00:01:17,350 here even if I am considered that time 21 00:01:22,679 --> 00:01:20,499 of the month for Tony but what we like 22 00:01:25,499 --> 00:01:22,689 to do here at the Space Telescope is we 23 00:01:27,989 --> 00:01:25,509 really get a lot of fun out of taking 24 00:01:30,569 --> 00:01:27,999 the deepest discoveries from a strong 25 00:01:32,309 --> 00:01:30,579 from Hubble and explaining them in 26 00:01:34,649 --> 00:01:32,319 detail because for me as an 27 00:01:38,249 --> 00:01:34,659 astrophysicist the really difficult 28 00:01:41,459 --> 00:01:38,259 thing is to have a wide breadth of all 29 00:01:42,779 --> 00:01:41,469 these various ideas and then be able to 30 00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:42,789 explain them to the public I mean 31 00:01:45,569 --> 00:01:44,499 because you're taking something that's 32 00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:45,579 at the cutting edge of science what we 33 00:01:49,559 --> 00:01:47,200 do in our press release is we're really 34 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,569 at the edge of science and we've got to 35 00:01:53,249 --> 00:01:51,280 provide all the context and all the 36 00:01:55,649 --> 00:01:53,259 background information to bring it out 37 00:01:57,569 --> 00:01:55,659 to the public and so this is what really 38 00:02:00,090 --> 00:01:57,579 you know Jazz's me about doing all of 39 00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:00,100 this stuff with Tony and with all the 40 00:02:04,139 --> 00:02:01,030 stuff we do in the office of public 41 00:02:06,449 --> 00:02:04,149 outreach is that understanding not just 42 00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:06,459 the discovery but all the context and 43 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,040 the background behind it so Tony did I 44 00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:11,200 vamp enough to cover up you did great 45 00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:14,420 thank you I tab that had the I YouTube 46 00:02:20,050 --> 00:02:18,380 and killed it I have like 300 tabs up on 47 00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:20,060 my desktop right now I know I'm I think 48 00:02:23,890 --> 00:02:21,830 I've get it there's always one that gets 49 00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:23,900 through me so again apologies for doing 50 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:25,550 that yet again but you know what I don't 51 00:02:29,470 --> 00:02:27,530 think people would feel right if I 52 00:02:33,490 --> 00:02:29,480 didn't do that at least once during the 53 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,500 Hangout so like it's live okay so anyway 54 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:35,120 and it's free so you're getting what you 55 00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:39,920 pay for that's that's right so here we 56 00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:42,440 are another another month has gone by we 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:46,550 have started by the way broadcasting the 58 00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:49,010 public lecture series that Frank hosts 59 00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:51,230 every month at the Institute of the 60 00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:53,030 first Tuesday of every month is now 61 00:02:56,850 --> 00:02:55,160 going on our YouTube channel so we hope 62 00:03:01,000 --> 00:02:56,860 that you guys will tune in to watch that 63 00:03:02,110 --> 00:03:01,010 as well with us because it's an easier 64 00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:02,120 way for you to interact 65 00:03:05,890 --> 00:03:04,280 I generally what we try to do is answer 66 00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:05,900 any questions and comments while it's 67 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:09,380 going on I'll monitor the the 68 00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:12,050 Twitterverse and comments on on youtube 69 00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:13,550 and try to respond to him while the 70 00:03:17,170 --> 00:03:15,620 lecture is going on and Frank will do 71 00:03:18,850 --> 00:03:17,180 that to the extent that he can but he's 72 00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:18,860 also got to run the show so it's a 73 00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:21,590 little bit he me may or may not be able 74 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:24,440 to respond to all comments ok Frank so 75 00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:26,930 what do we got we got what's the latest 76 00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:28,430 and greatest with Hubble this month 77 00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,680 alright so I know we did the I did it 78 00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:33,200 live last week during the public lecture 79 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:35,660 series but I know a good honest audience 80 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:36,799 probably hadn't seen it but I want to go 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:38,450 quickly through the news from the 82 00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:40,730 universe that I did last week and then I 83 00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:42,110 want to take it will beyond what I did 84 00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:43,940 with the news from the universe and talk 85 00:03:48,009 --> 00:03:46,160 about a new section on Hubble site that 86 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:48,019 I had a lot to do with and I think is 87 00:03:53,289 --> 00:03:49,760 really really cool ok 88 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:53,299 agreed okay so let me I gotta start my 89 00:04:03,240 --> 00:03:59,840 screen share there we go starting my 90 00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:07,270 PowerPoint slides ok so when I present 91 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:08,630 this to the public lecture series I call 92 00:04:12,849 --> 00:04:10,850 it news from the universe and this is 93 00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:12,859 the stuff this is the stories I chose 94 00:04:19,479 --> 00:04:14,980 for May 2014 95 00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:19,489 so my first story called five golden 96 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:22,190 rings for those of you who know the 97 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:24,530 Christmas song well it doesn't have 98 00:04:27,890 --> 00:04:25,610 anything to do with the Christmas song 99 00:04:31,219 --> 00:04:27,900 so what we're talking about 100 00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:31,229 is looking at and discovering new 101 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:33,960 information in old data now I bring up 102 00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:35,850 this image this is from the Keck 103 00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:38,039 telescope not from the Hubble this is of 104 00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:42,030 the star HR 8799 well actually it's of 105 00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:46,110 everything but the star HR 8799 because 106 00:04:54,110 --> 00:04:48,300 like a star from the 60s or something a 107 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:54,120 little this this star with psychedelic 108 00:05:00,740 --> 00:04:57,690 on us know all that psychedelic glop in 109 00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:00,750 the middle is the residue after 110 00:05:04,730 --> 00:05:02,520 subtracting out the light of the star 111 00:05:07,129 --> 00:05:04,740 right if you're trying to look for 112 00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:07,139 things around a star you've got this 113 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:09,630 honking bright star that you've got us 114 00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:11,850 to be able to subtract out so the folks 115 00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:14,760 at the Keck Observatory subtracted out 116 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:17,030 the light of the star and that 117 00:05:20,990 --> 00:05:19,050 psychedelic residue in the in the middle 118 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,000 is the result of that subtraction so you 119 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:23,520 got the star mostly subtracted out but 120 00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:27,810 the red dots around it are three planets 121 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:32,220 that why yeah the ones that well the the 122 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:33,690 the red dots and then there are the 123 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:36,210 pluses to show where the planets were 124 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:38,490 observed in July 2004 Oh 125 00:05:44,659 --> 00:05:42,570 dots show where they were in 2008 got it 126 00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:44,669 okay and showing that they're moving 127 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:48,360 around this star right and so this was 128 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:51,360 one of the first discoveries of actually 129 00:05:56,029 --> 00:05:53,610 observing planets around another star 130 00:05:58,129 --> 00:05:56,039 and this was actually done with the Keck 131 00:06:03,260 --> 00:05:58,139 telescope from the ground in the 132 00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:03,270 infrared now we here at Hubble didn't do 133 00:06:07,129 --> 00:06:04,409 this this was again from the confirm 134 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:07,139 Keck but what we did with Hubble is we 135 00:06:11,899 --> 00:06:09,570 came back a couple years later and we 136 00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:11,909 looked at h we looked not at a new image 137 00:06:17,540 --> 00:06:15,180 of HR 8799 but we looked at an old image 138 00:06:19,339 --> 00:06:17,550 that was in the hubble database 139 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:19,349 all right the Hubble archives got lots 140 00:06:24,379 --> 00:06:21,930 of cool data in it and so people went 141 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:24,389 back to it and you see on the left the 142 00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:27,510 incredible brightness of the star HR 143 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:30,750 8799 as it was observed in the Hubble 144 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:34,289 database the Hubble archive well so you 145 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:35,520 can see a bunch of so what you're 146 00:06:39,140 --> 00:06:36,570 looking at is a bunch of diffraction 147 00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:39,150 spikes from the telescope and then 148 00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:40,680 there's the saturation in the center 149 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:41,759 that's the 150 00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:46,800 the thing about Hubble is that over the 151 00:06:52,159 --> 00:06:49,710 years we've learned the characteristics 152 00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:52,169 of Hubble incredibly carefully and one 153 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:53,520 of the most important characteristics is 154 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:55,680 called the point spread function so 155 00:06:58,249 --> 00:06:56,969 here's some cool stuff that I can give 156 00:07:00,379 --> 00:06:58,259 you that I can't do the normal public 157 00:07:02,149 --> 00:07:00,389 audience and so the point spread 158 00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:02,159 function takes I mean stars or points of 159 00:07:06,739 --> 00:07:04,559 light and it's a very fate points light 160 00:07:08,299 --> 00:07:06,749 it appears as a circular dot and as it 161 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:08,309 gets brighter and brighter it becomes 162 00:07:11,929 --> 00:07:10,319 bigger and bigger dot and then it starts 163 00:07:14,269 --> 00:07:11,939 to develop these diffraction spikes and 164 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:14,279 all of these this just stuff around it 165 00:07:20,179 --> 00:07:17,520 and so with Hubble we've gotten very 166 00:07:23,149 --> 00:07:20,189 good at characterizing how that point 167 00:07:25,159 --> 00:07:23,159 spread function grows and what are the 168 00:07:28,219 --> 00:07:25,169 what is the shape of the light that is 169 00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:28,229 put onto the detector using that 170 00:07:33,969 --> 00:07:30,870 information we can very very carefully 171 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:33,979 subtract out the point spread function 172 00:07:39,769 --> 00:07:36,930 due to the Hubble detector pull out that 173 00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:39,779 star and in the right hand image you 174 00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:42,870 again see three dots of light and those 175 00:07:48,409 --> 00:07:46,080 are the planets yes yeah 176 00:07:51,230 --> 00:07:48,419 those are the same planets that Keck had 177 00:07:52,969 --> 00:07:51,240 discovered a few years earlier but the 178 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:52,979 important point was this image was taken 179 00:07:59,300 --> 00:07:56,490 I think it was eight years before the 180 00:08:02,119 --> 00:07:59,310 Keck discovery so it adds to the 181 00:08:05,149 --> 00:08:02,129 baseline of this discovery of the planet 182 00:08:07,429 --> 00:08:05,159 so we have more points in the orbit for 183 00:08:10,189 --> 00:08:07,439 these planets around its parent star and 184 00:08:11,989 --> 00:08:10,199 that's really important I mean when we 185 00:08:14,029 --> 00:08:11,999 discovered Uranus the first thing people 186 00:08:16,369 --> 00:08:14,039 did was go back into old data to see if 187 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:16,379 you could you know determine its orbit 188 00:08:20,149 --> 00:08:18,089 more accurately by having a longer 189 00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:20,159 baseline of the data well we're doing 190 00:08:23,899 --> 00:08:22,110 the exact same thing here with 191 00:08:25,159 --> 00:08:23,909 extrasolar planets so now we know what 192 00:08:26,689 --> 00:08:25,169 to look for we now we know there's 193 00:08:28,999 --> 00:08:26,699 planets there they just went back and 194 00:08:30,679 --> 00:08:29,009 looked at what we previous observations 195 00:08:33,199 --> 00:08:30,689 of the Hubble and got this information 196 00:08:35,629 --> 00:08:33,209 out okay so this is an old story 197 00:08:37,790 --> 00:08:35,639 we've may have talked about this before 198 00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:37,800 but the point is is that we've got this 199 00:08:41,689 --> 00:08:39,750 really good way of subtracting out the 200 00:08:44,180 --> 00:08:41,699 light of stars and we wanted to do that 201 00:08:47,449 --> 00:08:44,190 not just for planets but we also wanted 202 00:08:50,210 --> 00:08:47,459 to do it for dust disks around stars so 203 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,220 these are two dust disks one on the left 204 00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:52,560 au microscopy one on the right 205 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:55,760 HD 107 one force 206 00:09:00,940 --> 00:08:58,130 and you can see also the size of 207 00:09:02,620 --> 00:09:00,950 Neptune's orbit for scale again in each 208 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:02,630 of these images the light of the star 209 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:05,930 has been blocked out in this particular 210 00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:08,210 characteristic not subtracted out later 211 00:09:14,170 --> 00:09:12,110 on but blocked by a spot of light on the 212 00:09:16,930 --> 00:09:14,180 despot a dark spot on the detector 213 00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:16,940 called a coronagraph so block the light 214 00:09:21,610 --> 00:09:19,460 out yeah so they they block the light of 215 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:21,620 the star in the detector they have 216 00:09:26,019 --> 00:09:24,050 actually a place on the detector window 217 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:26,029 where there is a dark spot and they can 218 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:28,610 place that dark spot over the star to 219 00:09:32,079 --> 00:09:29,930 block out the light of the star and try 220 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:32,089 and see the material around it now these 221 00:09:36,610 --> 00:09:34,850 of course are our two best examples the 222 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:36,620 one on the left being an edge on disk 223 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:39,170 these are flat as a pancake and they're 224 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:40,640 discs of material spinning around the 225 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:43,310 stars the one on the left being edge on 226 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:45,200 the one on the right being face off and 227 00:09:48,730 --> 00:09:47,330 of course you know as press release 228 00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:48,740 images they are really gorgeous and 229 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:50,980 beautiful and everything but most of our 230 00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:53,450 observations of disk aren't quite so 231 00:09:59,440 --> 00:09:56,720 good some of them are like we see in 232 00:10:04,090 --> 00:09:59,450 this next image here HD one eight one 233 00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:04,100 three two seven and on the left if we 234 00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:06,470 were trying to take out the star to try 235 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:07,700 and see the disk 236 00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:10,490 okay this again is the PSF removal point 237 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:13,070 spread function and removal the normal 238 00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:15,410 one that we have been using would show 239 00:10:20,050 --> 00:10:17,060 you that there is a ring of material 240 00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:20,060 around this star but there would be a 241 00:10:24,130 --> 00:10:22,790 lot of bleed of the star into that ring 242 00:10:25,329 --> 00:10:24,140 and you wouldn't be able to measure the 243 00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:25,339 characteristics of that ring very 244 00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:28,880 carefully well the new method they come 245 00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:31,940 up with they call it KL IP I don't know 246 00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:34,310 what that stands for but it's the new 247 00:10:39,390 --> 00:10:36,670 method of point spread function removal 248 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:39,400 removes the star more carefully and more 249 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:42,650 completely giving us the much clearer 250 00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:44,930 view of that ring on the right in the 251 00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:47,390 right hand picture so see it with the 252 00:10:50,890 --> 00:10:49,310 standard PSF removal but you get a much 253 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,900 better one with this new technique it 254 00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:52,640 looks like right and you're really 255 00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:55,190 getting rid of the star only so that the 256 00:10:59,079 --> 00:10:56,959 measurements of say the thickness and 257 00:11:00,760 --> 00:10:59,089 the density and how much material is in 258 00:11:02,980 --> 00:11:00,770 that ring which is really important for 259 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:02,990 understanding you know what stage the 260 00:11:08,410 --> 00:11:05,570 the planet formation is in the system 261 00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:08,420 because I said does that mean little boy 262 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:10,280 bright spots in the center there those 263 00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:12,650 were actually real then no I wouldn't 264 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:14,270 trust the stuff inside the ring okay 265 00:11:19,660 --> 00:11:17,210 alright you know again you're getting 266 00:11:22,450 --> 00:11:19,670 really in close to the star there and 267 00:11:24,820 --> 00:11:22,460 but you can see how you there the bleed 268 00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:24,830 around the ring both in interior to the 269 00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:26,420 ring and external to the Rings is 270 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:29,600 greatly reduced all those radial 271 00:11:35,830 --> 00:11:32,810 striations the lines heading out in 272 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:35,840 radial directions are greatly reduced by 273 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:39,170 this new PSF removal technique okay and 274 00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:41,330 that no let's do this folks I mean it 275 00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:42,470 doesn't matter how perfect your 276 00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:45,260 telescope is the PSF is this thing that 277 00:11:49,690 --> 00:11:47,000 smears it out you could have a perfect 278 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:49,700 point source of light and all optical 279 00:11:52,810 --> 00:11:51,050 systems are gonna smear it out a little 280 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:52,820 bit and the the manner in which it 281 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:55,610 smears that out is you can model that 282 00:11:59,920 --> 00:11:58,130 and and measure it and model it and that 283 00:12:01,090 --> 00:11:59,930 is what he's talking about it is called 284 00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:01,100 the point spread function and you can 285 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:03,350 remove that effect so if you had a point 286 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:05,810 of light that got smeared out into a 287 00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,690 circle a little bit and then you knew 288 00:12:11,710 --> 00:12:09,920 the point spread function you could 289 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:11,720 remove that point spread function to get 290 00:12:14,890 --> 00:12:14,330 your point back so that's what's going 291 00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:14,900 on here 292 00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:18,830 right but my question Frank is how are 293 00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:23,110 they able do you know to determine which 294 00:12:27,730 --> 00:12:25,910 light it belongs to the star and what 295 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:27,740 doesn't I mean how do you how do you 296 00:12:32,380 --> 00:12:29,930 figure that out okay well you're gonna 297 00:12:34,570 --> 00:12:32,390 calibrate your point spread function by 298 00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:34,580 looking at a sizing stars or perfect 299 00:12:39,310 --> 00:12:37,070 points of light right I mean the stars 300 00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:39,320 are so small compared to their distance 301 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:41,600 away that they are a point of light and 302 00:12:46,450 --> 00:12:43,910 what you're gonna want to do is find a 303 00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:46,460 uncrowded field where you're observing 304 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:48,950 just a star and not a star that has any 305 00:12:52,780 --> 00:12:50,930 and you want you know an older star that 306 00:12:55,390 --> 00:12:52,790 that wouldn't have a disk or such around 307 00:13:00,010 --> 00:12:55,400 it all right you want to be able to get 308 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:00,020 get your with each detector you want to 309 00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:02,170 be able to get a set of calibration 310 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,880 images of various stars that are 311 00:13:09,450 --> 00:13:07,040 uncrowded fields so you can get a clean 312 00:13:12,910 --> 00:13:09,460 view of the point spread function and 313 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:12,920 then you can by getting a whole suite of 314 00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:15,200 these and measuring them you can get an 315 00:13:20,650 --> 00:13:17,570 error you can do an average of those 316 00:13:21,820 --> 00:13:20,660 various calibration images to get a 317 00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:21,830 pattern 318 00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:22,820 develops through the point spread 319 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:25,519 function yeah I can see how that helps 320 00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:29,120 you identify the star but not the flux 321 00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:32,480 or the pixel values of that star so how 322 00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:34,910 do you know when to stop removing and 323 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:38,240 that's the art part of it okay if you've 324 00:13:41,710 --> 00:13:40,730 got the where and if the the point 325 00:13:44,139 --> 00:13:41,720 spread function changes with the 326 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:44,149 brightness of the star right yeah in 327 00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:46,610 doing this PSF removal you're going to 328 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:49,100 have the spectral type of the star as a 329 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:50,810 variable you're going to have the 330 00:13:55,329 --> 00:13:53,930 magnitude of the star the the apparent 331 00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:55,339 magnitude of the star the brightness of 332 00:13:58,769 --> 00:13:57,380 the star as another variable so you're 333 00:14:01,000 --> 00:13:58,779 going to be eight you're going to 334 00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:01,010 release squares fitting with the 335 00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:03,200 different variables that you have that 336 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,680 make up your PSF and say where in if I 337 00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:08,480 change these variables does the fit get 338 00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:10,550 better or worse and then you find the 339 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,070 one that gives you the least least 340 00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:15,440 amount of error okay that make sense 341 00:14:18,940 --> 00:14:17,000 sure and I guess that's another reason 342 00:14:20,829 --> 00:14:18,950 why you don't want to totally trust that 343 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:20,839 area where you remove the point spread 344 00:14:27,069 --> 00:14:25,130 function because right totally look when 345 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:27,079 I was doing my PhD thesis 20 years ago 346 00:14:31,660 --> 00:14:29,810 the PSF removal you see on the left here 347 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:31,670 would have been fantastic I mean it 348 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:32,810 would have been better than you could 349 00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:35,450 ever hope for at that point so we're 350 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:36,470 getting better all the time 351 00:14:41,079 --> 00:14:38,690 sure sure no I'm this is amazing this is 352 00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:41,089 really nice so let me give you a couple 353 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:43,100 more examples so what we're announcing 354 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:46,880 what we announced last month was looking 355 00:14:51,970 --> 00:14:49,370 at some discs around it in archival data 356 00:14:54,190 --> 00:14:51,980 so again we're going into images that 357 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:54,200 Hubble has already taken not 358 00:14:59,319 --> 00:14:56,450 partly to study discs but you know it's 359 00:15:01,329 --> 00:14:59,329 already in the archive and so here on 360 00:15:04,689 --> 00:15:01,339 the left you have HD one four one nine 361 00:15:06,579 --> 00:15:04,699 four three which is a mostly edge-on 362 00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:06,589 disc we've got the artists description 363 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,470 artist's depiction below to sort of 364 00:15:14,139 --> 00:15:11,360 guide your eyes to seeing that disc and 365 00:15:16,990 --> 00:15:14,149 on the right a somewhat face on disc one 366 00:15:19,889 --> 00:15:17,000 ninety one oh eight nine and the here 367 00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:19,899 are the the results using this new PSF 368 00:15:23,949 --> 00:15:22,640 retraction these aren't the only two 369 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:23,959 these are the ones that we illustrated 370 00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:26,690 with artist depictions on the next one 371 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,209 the final image of this story we have of 372 00:15:35,979 --> 00:15:34,399 course the five golden rings of the 373 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:35,989 title 374 00:15:43,989 --> 00:15:40,730 we have five really good detailed images 375 00:15:45,669 --> 00:15:43,999 of rings that arise from this PSF 376 00:15:47,139 --> 00:15:45,679 subtraction that we could not have 377 00:15:50,259 --> 00:15:47,149 gotten otherwise and you can see they're 378 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,269 still pretty ratty but without this PSF 379 00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:52,639 subtraction certainly the ones on the 380 00:16:00,129 --> 00:15:54,110 right would be very hard to tell that 381 00:16:03,609 --> 00:16:00,139 there was a disc there at all cool yeah 382 00:16:05,169 --> 00:16:03,619 I'm with you usually jump in with some 383 00:16:06,579 --> 00:16:05,179 sort of comment as I that's because I'm 384 00:16:08,949 --> 00:16:06,589 paid I'm cutting and pasting something 385 00:16:10,479 --> 00:16:08,959 like okay 386 00:16:11,979 --> 00:16:10,489 it was the problem when I have my screen 387 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:11,989 share on and I can't actually see yeah 388 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:16,850 yeah adding some comments here so I can 389 00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:18,410 make sure I get them all that's all yeah 390 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:21,110 I'm with you all right let's go to the 391 00:16:28,269 --> 00:16:23,809 second story second story I called a 392 00:16:30,989 --> 00:16:28,279 tail spin break up all right and that 393 00:16:35,710 --> 00:16:30,999 again is a play on words as I like to do 394 00:16:40,059 --> 00:16:35,720 but let's go back to last year 2013 and 395 00:16:44,350 --> 00:16:40,069 this was this has got to be one of my 396 00:16:46,359 --> 00:16:44,360 favorite images of Comet Ison alright 397 00:16:49,689 --> 00:16:46,369 this is from Damian peach I believe he's 398 00:16:52,109 --> 00:16:49,699 a British astrophotographer absolutely 399 00:16:54,609 --> 00:16:52,119 fantastic images of Comet Ison last year 400 00:16:56,739 --> 00:16:54,619 huge kudos to him because he did some 401 00:16:58,900 --> 00:16:56,749 fantastic shots this is one of the 402 00:17:01,389 --> 00:16:58,910 coolest ones this is from November 15th 403 00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:01,399 as Ison was heading into its perihelion 404 00:17:07,870 --> 00:17:04,880 and we all remember what happened or 405 00:17:10,659 --> 00:17:07,880 really what didn't happen during its 406 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:10,669 perihelion passage this is the image 407 00:17:17,289 --> 00:17:13,970 from Soho a time-lapse image from so 408 00:17:20,639 --> 00:17:17,299 where comet Ison comes in swings past 409 00:17:25,179 --> 00:17:20,649 the Sun and it breaks up on its way out 410 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:25,189 so we have seen comets break up 411 00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:28,610 comet Ison being the spectacular breakup 412 00:17:32,769 --> 00:17:30,950 that we that occurred last November as 413 00:17:35,289 --> 00:17:32,779 it passes the Sun but we've also seen 414 00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:35,299 comets break up not when they're passing 415 00:17:41,889 --> 00:17:38,809 right by the Sun comets Watchmen Walkman 416 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:41,899 3 one of my favorite comments to say 417 00:17:48,370 --> 00:17:45,490 just just that it's named so cold 418 00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:48,380 this is the break-up captured by Hubble 419 00:17:58,690 --> 00:17:51,230 of wash wash man Walkman 3 or we'll just 420 00:18:03,610 --> 00:17:58,700 call it SW 3 and keep saying that three 421 00:18:03,970 --> 00:18:03,620 times so we've got April 18th on the 422 00:18:06,249 --> 00:18:03,980 left 423 00:18:08,740 --> 00:18:06,259 April 19th in the center and April 20th 424 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,750 on the right this was back in 2006 and 425 00:18:13,779 --> 00:18:10,880 you can see all the pieces that are 426 00:18:15,460 --> 00:18:13,789 broke off of that comet were flying off 427 00:18:18,369 --> 00:18:15,470 matter of fact this wasn't the whole 428 00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:18,379 comment this was just fragment B and I 429 00:18:24,299 --> 00:18:21,679 believe there were Oh 10 or 12 of these 430 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:24,309 fragments this was just that this this 431 00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:26,960 fragment B out of I think it went up to 432 00:18:32,889 --> 00:18:30,350 J or K or something like that so we have 433 00:18:34,990 --> 00:18:32,899 seen comets break up elsewhere now this 434 00:18:37,810 --> 00:18:35,000 is sort of expected because comets are 435 00:18:39,610 --> 00:18:37,820 these snowballs and snowballs are you 436 00:18:42,249 --> 00:18:39,620 bringing the snow ball past the Sun it's 437 00:18:43,930 --> 00:18:42,259 gonna melt and its structure can break 438 00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:43,940 it can can become brittle and it can 439 00:18:50,049 --> 00:18:47,750 break apart what we didn't expect to see 440 00:18:53,619 --> 00:18:50,059 is something that I'll show you on the 441 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:53,629 very next image and this is the breakup 442 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,919 of an object that's not a comet it's an 443 00:19:07,749 --> 00:18:58,960 asteroid 444 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:07,759 notice that 2013 is it's name is in its 445 00:19:14,409 --> 00:19:10,610 name it was discovered just last year in 446 00:19:16,539 --> 00:19:14,419 September of last year and it was seen 447 00:19:19,869 --> 00:19:16,549 to have some interesting structure that 448 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:19,879 they believe they saw three spots that 449 00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:22,850 it was a couple's fuzzy spots and here's 450 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:24,470 what it looked like on a taupe so ha 451 00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:26,720 they got Hubble time to observe it based 452 00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:29,990 upon its unique characteristics and this 453 00:19:38,289 --> 00:19:33,710 is the image on October 29th and here is 454 00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:38,299 the image on November 15th and here is 455 00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:41,809 the image on December 13th and then 456 00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:46,070 again on January 14th so here's a 457 00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:48,320 composite of all four of those images 458 00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:51,049 and so over last fall and into the 459 00:19:59,549 --> 00:19:54,110 winter we watched the breakup of an 460 00:20:03,480 --> 00:19:59,559 asteroid not a comet how cool is that 461 00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:03,490 now you we don't expect asteroids to 462 00:20:08,249 --> 00:20:05,080 break up because we think of them as 463 00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:08,259 rocks right and that you know you would 464 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:11,590 even if it's a rock is hurtling through 465 00:20:15,210 --> 00:20:13,330 space and you know you warmth you could 466 00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:15,220 heat up a rock and it's not gonna it's 467 00:20:21,269 --> 00:20:18,580 not volatile with the ices of a comment 468 00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:21,279 so it we didn't we wouldn't expect it to 469 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:26,470 break up but there have been a couple to 470 00:20:31,259 --> 00:20:28,690 two major models of what the internal 471 00:20:33,419 --> 00:20:31,269 structure of an asteroid is now for the 472 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:33,429 larger asteroids like Ceres and Vesta we 473 00:20:37,289 --> 00:20:34,690 believe that they are these 474 00:20:40,049 --> 00:20:37,299 differentiated very large objects you 475 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:40,059 know like like planets there are many 476 00:20:47,820 --> 00:20:43,450 planets or moons etc but the smaller 477 00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:47,830 asteroids well they could be single 478 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:49,360 objects that are you know have chemical 479 00:20:53,549 --> 00:20:51,730 bonds holding them together or they 480 00:20:57,450 --> 00:20:53,559 could be what astronomers call rubble 481 00:20:59,369 --> 00:20:57,460 piles as in glommer ations of individual 482 00:21:02,100 --> 00:20:59,379 rocks that sort of are held together by 483 00:21:03,779 --> 00:21:02,110 their mutual gravity and that they don't 484 00:21:05,789 --> 00:21:03,789 have the chemical are there there aren't 485 00:21:07,259 --> 00:21:05,799 a single object all together but there 486 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:07,269 are multiple objects together or they're 487 00:21:14,609 --> 00:21:09,730 loosely held together or the structure 488 00:21:18,419 --> 00:21:14,619 is not in some way fully fully coherent 489 00:21:20,249 --> 00:21:18,429 right mm-hmm so this is the question for 490 00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:20,259 this if this was a what we call the 491 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:22,990 rubble pile model applied here how would 492 00:21:27,269 --> 00:21:25,690 you then get it to break up and the best 493 00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:27,279 guess for this and I'm gonna say this is 494 00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:30,399 a hypothesis it's not proven yet is that 495 00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:33,039 if you have the rubble pile all right 496 00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:34,960 and it has this incoherent structure and 497 00:21:43,109 --> 00:21:38,559 you start it spinning and you can use 498 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:43,119 the the the the tort there's a very 499 00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:45,970 small gravity a torque due to light that 500 00:21:49,139 --> 00:21:47,200 you can get on this you can get this 501 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:49,149 asteroid spinning and spinning faster 502 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:51,730 and faster then it could get to what we 503 00:21:57,450 --> 00:21:54,330 call the breakups velocity where the 504 00:22:01,769 --> 00:21:57,460 centrifugal central center pedal force 505 00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:01,779 pulls it apart can break it apart and 506 00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:06,669 pull apart this Robo pile and so the 507 00:22:12,270 --> 00:22:10,200 Dave Jewett from a from Hawaii is the 508 00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:12,280 the gentleman who's 509 00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:14,560 doing these observations and that is his 510 00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:16,720 best guess as to why we're seeing an 511 00:22:23,130 --> 00:22:19,030 asteroid for the first time falling 512 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:23,140 apart that if you get spun up to - to 513 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:26,050 break up velocity and the pieces started 514 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:29,050 coming apart now we don't know that that 515 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:31,330 is true yet we will continue to follow 516 00:22:37,050 --> 00:22:33,610 it and will continue to model it to see 517 00:22:38,850 --> 00:22:37,060 if the torques really can produce 518 00:22:41,670 --> 00:22:38,860 something to get it up to break up 519 00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:41,680 velocity is as an astronomer think about 520 00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:45,580 it go wow that's it's got a tap you kind 521 00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:47,260 of have that very very very small torque 522 00:22:52,260 --> 00:22:49,630 over a really really really long time in 523 00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:52,270 order to spin it up that fast but then I 524 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:53,830 always recognize that well this 525 00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:55,090 asteroids probably been floating around 526 00:23:00,690 --> 00:22:56,910 the solar system for a few billion years 527 00:23:02,730 --> 00:23:00,700 so even a tiny did you already say what 528 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:02,740 kind of orbit it had I might have missed 529 00:23:08,670 --> 00:23:04,570 that part I did not say what type of 530 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:08,680 orbit it had I do know that it is not in 531 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:12,250 the main asteroid belt i but it is not a 532 00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:14,530 sungrazer type thing where it goes in 533 00:23:17,610 --> 00:23:16,150 close to the Sun okay that was like 534 00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:17,620 that's where I was heading with that I 535 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:19,710 wasn't sure if the Sun might have been 536 00:23:24,690 --> 00:23:21,730 involved in some way producing that 537 00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:24,700 torque or not the Sun would be involved 538 00:23:27,930 --> 00:23:25,840 in curtain two in terms of the light 539 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:27,940 pressure so the solar wind would do 540 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:30,610 something it's just it's more this it's 541 00:23:38,610 --> 00:23:35,440 more this radiation and radiation to 542 00:23:42,090 --> 00:23:38,620 work on it especially if it's got 543 00:23:43,230 --> 00:23:42,100 different absorption because of 544 00:23:46,530 --> 00:23:43,240 different sort of different surface 545 00:23:48,180 --> 00:23:46,540 elements so yeah so you have highly 546 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:48,190 reflective in some dark spots that's 547 00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:51,370 gonna exactly put some weird forces on 548 00:23:56,790 --> 00:23:53,950 the on the surface is this the same kind 549 00:23:58,500 --> 00:23:56,800 of torque that JWST has got to correct 550 00:24:01,410 --> 00:23:58,510 for with its momentum flap or is that 551 00:24:03,230 --> 00:24:01,420 something else I can't I don't know 552 00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:03,240 enough about jus T's momentum flapped 553 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:06,790 but there might it might be okay I 554 00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:08,650 wasn't sure if it was the same sort of 555 00:24:12,930 --> 00:24:11,710 force or not but in as much as the Solar 556 00:24:14,850 --> 00:24:12,940 shield is going to be absorbing 557 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:14,860 radiation and if it absorbs more 558 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,450 radiation on one side than on the other 559 00:24:20,790 --> 00:24:18,400 side then that could definitely throw a 560 00:24:22,410 --> 00:24:20,800 torque onto the whole spacecraft okay 561 00:24:23,850 --> 00:24:22,420 that's so may not necessarily be related 562 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:23,860 I just it just came to my mind when you 563 00:24:27,310 --> 00:24:25,730 were talking about this and so I know 564 00:24:31,210 --> 00:24:27,320 these are the cool things that we get to 565 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:31,220 talk about the how bright was this thing 566 00:24:34,450 --> 00:24:33,410 do you have any idea what was it 567 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:34,460 something you needed a pretty big 568 00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:39,890 telescope to check this out or I don't 569 00:24:44,380 --> 00:24:41,990 have any I don't have a good idea but it 570 00:24:46,330 --> 00:24:44,390 was not particularly bright I mean no 571 00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:46,340 asteroid is very bright right right 572 00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:46,640 right 573 00:24:51,010 --> 00:24:48,950 so we're getting down toward 20 of them 574 00:24:53,230 --> 00:24:51,020 we're getting down 15th or 20th 575 00:24:55,420 --> 00:24:53,240 magnitude this is pretty much outside of 576 00:24:58,720 --> 00:24:55,430 most amateur scope that would be my 577 00:25:00,430 --> 00:24:58,730 guess on this I don't have the printout 578 00:25:02,410 --> 00:25:00,440 of the press release in front of me yeah 579 00:25:04,690 --> 00:25:02,420 yeah no I'm sorry I just was curious it 580 00:25:06,490 --> 00:25:04,700 was a hey people might have been able to 581 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:06,500 check out themselves I love it when you 582 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:07,610 ask questions that I don't know the 583 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:13,730 answer to let's go to the third story 584 00:25:19,930 --> 00:25:16,250 here okay and I call this a Hubble 585 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:19,940 anniversary present part two last month 586 00:25:26,110 --> 00:25:22,970 I talked about the Hubble anniversary 587 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:26,120 present part one and just to remind you 588 00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:30,530 we talked about a April 24th 1990 one of 589 00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:32,620 my favorite shots of the Space Shuttle 590 00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:36,230 blasting off obey a very special day 591 00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:37,150 it's got the Hubble Space Telescope 592 00:25:42,810 --> 00:25:40,670 inside the payload bay and then an 593 00:25:45,550 --> 00:25:42,820 amazing shot from the very next day 594 00:25:50,410 --> 00:25:45,560 taken by the IMAX camera in the payload 595 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:50,420 Bay for the deployment that front cover 596 00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:55,760 closed - yeah I I don't I know very few 597 00:25:59,530 --> 00:25:57,260 others I mean except for ones being 598 00:26:02,830 --> 00:25:59,540 serviced though that is almost never 599 00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:02,840 closed yeah yeah this was this was a 600 00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:04,670 fantastic shot I love how they arranged 601 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:06,110 to have the Sun in the background for 602 00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:10,730 this shot reflection of the earth and in 603 00:26:14,590 --> 00:26:12,230 the front cover there it's really neat 604 00:26:18,850 --> 00:26:14,600 that's right the cinematographer just 605 00:26:21,550 --> 00:26:18,860 you know just nailed that one you know I 606 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:21,560 think the only thing harder to do I 607 00:26:25,180 --> 00:26:23,330 remember on top of the movie do you 608 00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:25,190 remember the movie Top Gun right oh yeah 609 00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:28,280 yeah and Tony Scott directed that film 610 00:26:34,330 --> 00:26:32,300 and they were doing a shot on the flight 611 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:34,340 deck where they the aircraft were 612 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:36,890 landing and suddenly the boat starts to 613 00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:39,170 turn I mean this is a real Navy air 614 00:26:42,990 --> 00:26:41,120 craft carrier and it starts to turn to 615 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:43,000 head towards wherever it's going to and 616 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:45,290 the director calls up to the bridge 617 00:26:50,110 --> 00:26:47,450 saying no no you can't turn I need the 618 00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:50,120 Sun where it needs to be to hear for the 619 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:51,710 shot you know you got to give me half an 620 00:26:58,510 --> 00:26:55,730 hour or more on this course oh so who's 621 00:27:00,190 --> 00:26:58,520 in charge I guess right oh the bridge 622 00:27:02,130 --> 00:27:00,200 called back down said well that'll cost 623 00:27:06,370 --> 00:27:02,140 you and he said I don't care I need it 624 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:06,380 so they actually turn the ship back to 625 00:27:10,510 --> 00:27:07,730 its core so they could have the Sun 626 00:27:13,270 --> 00:27:10,520 where they needed it for the to finish 627 00:27:15,010 --> 00:27:13,280 filming that sequence I could imagine 628 00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:15,020 the only thing harder than turning an 629 00:27:20,740 --> 00:27:17,840 aircraft carrier just to get a shot 630 00:27:23,260 --> 00:27:20,750 would be to just to reposition the space 631 00:27:27,850 --> 00:27:23,270 shut the space space shuttles to get the 632 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:27,860 shot like this yeah I can't imagine IMAX 633 00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:29,570 calling down to Houston no no we got a 634 00:27:33,370 --> 00:27:31,790 way to not for that you can't release 635 00:27:39,850 --> 00:27:33,380 just yet we have to wait till the Sun is 636 00:27:42,010 --> 00:27:39,860 in the right spot blue thing there's 637 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:42,020 probably a that's either a lens flare or 638 00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:47,410 a blue got with the red circle around it 639 00:27:53,230 --> 00:27:49,370 either that or it's one of Hubble's 640 00:27:58,540 --> 00:27:53,240 images of planetary nebulae that's 641 00:28:01,860 --> 00:27:58,550 definitely a lens artifact yeah okay so 642 00:28:07,270 --> 00:28:01,870 back to Hubble instead of other movies 643 00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:07,280 so that was 24 years ago and last month 644 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:13,150 in Rome they had a the cover the 645 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:15,170 scientific meeting called science with 646 00:28:20,020 --> 00:28:18,050 the Hubble Space Telescope for obviously 647 00:28:22,540 --> 00:28:20,030 a series of meetings about the Hubble 648 00:28:23,950 --> 00:28:22,550 Space Telescope so to celebrate that 649 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:23,960 meeting and celebrate our 24th 650 00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:26,240 anniversary we actually released the 651 00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:28,910 Hubble 24th anniversary image a month 652 00:28:33,940 --> 00:28:31,630 early we released it during this meeting 653 00:28:36,090 --> 00:28:33,950 so it could be unveiled at this meeting 654 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:36,100 to the scientists at this meeting but 655 00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:39,170 what I showed you that image last month 656 00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:41,750 but what I didn't show you was the 657 00:28:50,290 --> 00:28:45,830 overview image so this is a visible 658 00:28:52,750 --> 00:28:50,300 light image of NGC 24 2174 also known as 659 00:28:54,910 --> 00:28:52,760 the monkey head nebula 660 00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:54,920 as noted here it is not from Hubble of 661 00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:56,870 course this is from an Astro 662 00:29:01,420 --> 00:28:59,120 photographer named Richard crisp always 663 00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:01,430 want to credit our sources here and that 664 00:29:07,810 --> 00:29:05,420 square box up there is where Hubble took 665 00:29:09,370 --> 00:29:07,820 the 24th anniversary image now this is a 666 00:29:11,770 --> 00:29:09,380 visible light image but Hubble took the 667 00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:11,780 24th anniversary image in infrared 668 00:29:16,030 --> 00:29:14,360 Hubble you know covers visible light a 669 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:16,040 little bit of the ultraviolet and a 670 00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:18,770 little bit of the infrared and here was 671 00:29:25,470 --> 00:29:22,270 that really cool Hubble image of that 672 00:29:30,430 --> 00:29:25,480 these pillars in the monkey head nebula 673 00:29:33,130 --> 00:29:30,440 in infrared and it to me it reminds me a 674 00:29:34,510 --> 00:29:33,140 lot of the Horsehead Nebula image 675 00:29:36,790 --> 00:29:34,520 released for their Hubble's 23rd 676 00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:36,800 anniversary that you're getting this 677 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:39,710 dark gas the stuff that's absolutely 678 00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:42,650 opaque in visible light and being able 679 00:29:48,490 --> 00:29:45,560 to see a beautiful glowing gaseous 680 00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:48,500 landscape by looking in the infrared 681 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:50,960 the infrared has longer wavelengths so 682 00:29:56,530 --> 00:29:53,210 it penetrates deeper into the gas and 683 00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:56,540 also this gas is cool that's not hot 684 00:30:02,530 --> 00:29:59,360 enough to shine using invisible light 685 00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:02,540 but it is warm gas that's hot enough to 686 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:05,180 shine an infrared light so we can 687 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:07,370 actually observe more of the gas with 688 00:30:12,790 --> 00:30:10,010 the infrared for those two reasons no 689 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:12,800 that's amazing so this was this was the 690 00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:14,930 small sub region in that over that 691 00:30:19,660 --> 00:30:17,270 larger picture you showed before right 692 00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:19,670 if isn't all is it this is not all 693 00:30:24,180 --> 00:30:22,070 because another thing I didn't tell you 694 00:30:28,090 --> 00:30:24,190 last month was that Hubble had observed 695 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:28,100 this very pillar previously this 696 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:31,610 subsection here was released oh five or 697 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:34,850 six years ago five or six years ago as a 698 00:30:41,370 --> 00:30:38,930 visible light shot so here is that 699 00:30:44,530 --> 00:30:41,380 cropping - that on the Left we have the 700 00:30:48,610 --> 00:30:44,540 wide field planetary camera - image 701 00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:48,620 using visible light of the these pillars 702 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:49,430 in the monkeyhead 703 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:52,130 and on the right we have the infrared 704 00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:54,650 version of it so that's kind of cool 705 00:30:59,530 --> 00:30:57,110 we've got this visible and you can see 706 00:31:02,890 --> 00:30:59,540 the darkness that you see visible and 707 00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:02,900 the what you see more the way you look 708 00:31:05,950 --> 00:31:05,150 through it one of the cool things to 709 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:05,960 look for 710 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:08,090 is just above the pillars on the right 711 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:10,610 hand side I don't know if my mouth shows 712 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:13,490 up on this but there is a galaxy sitting 713 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:16,850 right here next guys sort of bullet 714 00:31:21,070 --> 00:31:19,610 trails right next to that top bullet 715 00:31:23,470 --> 00:31:21,080 trail just to the right there's a galaxy 716 00:31:26,380 --> 00:31:23,480 and actually two or three galaxies that 717 00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:26,390 you can see through the nebula and you 718 00:31:30,430 --> 00:31:28,190 can't see that at all using visible 719 00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:30,440 light that just shows you how much the 720 00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:32,110 infrared light penetrates through 721 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:34,760 completely through the nebula here I 722 00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:36,770 know you and to see what Frank's talking 723 00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:38,510 about it more do anything that's black 724 00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:41,120 on the left side image or a very dark as 725 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:42,830 being the light is being completely 726 00:31:46,810 --> 00:31:44,570 blocked but here if you go to the right 727 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:46,820 side you can see those regions are not 728 00:31:51,070 --> 00:31:48,890 dark any longer that's what he's talking 729 00:31:53,049 --> 00:31:51,080 about the the the longer wavelengths are 730 00:31:55,389 --> 00:31:53,059 able to pass through some of that 731 00:31:58,870 --> 00:31:55,399 material and those what do you call them 732 00:32:02,529 --> 00:31:58,880 that thing oh I call it a bullet trails 733 00:32:04,210 --> 00:32:02,539 I think it's a bullet really start you 734 00:32:07,149 --> 00:32:04,220 could those are really stark in visible 735 00:32:09,370 --> 00:32:07,159 light and their little s so here in the 736 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:09,380 infrared but they're kind of glowing a 737 00:32:13,570 --> 00:32:11,090 little bit in the infrared - so that's 738 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:13,580 kinda yeah i'm just called them sorta 739 00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:15,049 like the bullet trail simply because 740 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:16,880 remember the movie matrix let's go back 741 00:32:22,659 --> 00:32:20,210 to old movies again and that the bullet 742 00:32:24,940 --> 00:32:22,669 trails in that the scenes of the bullets 743 00:32:26,049 --> 00:32:24,950 flying through the air that's what it 744 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:26,059 sort of looks like here but these are 745 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:29,210 actually the wind blowing past these 746 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:32,270 dense knots of gas yeah that's true yeah 747 00:32:35,049 --> 00:32:33,440 that does look like that I would have 748 00:32:38,350 --> 00:32:35,059 called them tadpoles but you know I 749 00:32:41,230 --> 00:32:38,360 don't mind as imaginative you are we can 750 00:32:43,139 --> 00:32:41,240 do tadpoles - another name we have 751 00:32:46,419 --> 00:32:43,149 another thing that we call tadpoles 752 00:32:50,289 --> 00:32:46,429 Orion Nebula oh that's right no problems 753 00:32:51,909 --> 00:32:50,299 in Orion right okay so here's we're 754 00:32:53,409 --> 00:32:51,919 finished with the setup here now the set 755 00:32:55,180 --> 00:32:53,419 is that we've got this visible light 756 00:32:57,220 --> 00:32:55,190 image and we've got this infrared image 757 00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:57,230 and we got the contextual image that I 758 00:33:00,820 --> 00:32:58,730 showed you so what I really want to do 759 00:33:03,370 --> 00:33:00,830 is take you on a full exploration of it 760 00:33:05,169 --> 00:33:03,380 so I'm going to show you a movie and 761 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:05,179 again this being a Hubble hangout it 762 00:33:12,970 --> 00:33:08,330 doesn't always show well so I'm actually 763 00:33:16,210 --> 00:33:12,980 going to let me just give you the URL 764 00:33:19,090 --> 00:33:16,220 first okay so here is the URL Hubble 765 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:19,100 site org slash new centers last archive 766 00:33:25,029 --> 00:33:20,090 slash 767 00:33:27,610 --> 00:33:25,039 lisa / 2014's last 18 / video /b yeah I 768 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:27,620 put that by the way it's in the event 769 00:33:31,779 --> 00:33:29,330 description so you can just click on it 770 00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:31,789 right so III talked it through making 771 00:33:36,310 --> 00:33:34,120 sure you had time to drop it in there 772 00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:36,320 but yeah it's in there now it's in the 773 00:33:41,230 --> 00:33:39,260 hangout description okay alright and 774 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:41,240 then this other UL Hubbell site toad org 775 00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:43,010 slash videos we'll talk about in just a 776 00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:44,510 second but I'm gonna escape out of 777 00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:48,169 PowerPoint because PowerPoint often has 778 00:33:53,019 --> 00:33:50,960 problems playing videos and I'm gonna 779 00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:53,029 change my screen share there we go get 780 00:33:59,529 --> 00:33:55,039 rid of the screen share and I'm gonna 781 00:34:01,720 --> 00:33:59,539 screen share with you this right just 782 00:34:04,090 --> 00:34:01,730 the movie you know play it in QuickTime 783 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:04,100 instead alright we up in the movie yep I 784 00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:09,530 can see it okay great so I need to 785 00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:10,250 rewind it 786 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:12,980 I've shown you the end here we go from 787 00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:15,649 the beginning now I'm playing it so you 788 00:34:19,450 --> 00:34:17,359 can see the Orion constellation and the 789 00:34:21,460 --> 00:34:19,460 Gemini constellation here and we're 790 00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:21,470 gonna zoom into a reach into the monkey 791 00:34:25,659 --> 00:34:23,200 head nebula which is located between 792 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:25,669 Orion and Gemini and it's I think it's 793 00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:27,050 technically in the constellation Orion 794 00:34:32,619 --> 00:34:30,830 so there's the whole view of the monkey 795 00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:32,629 head nebula then we're going to move 796 00:34:36,609 --> 00:34:35,030 into this very small pillar here section 797 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:36,619 here and we're going to show you how 798 00:34:41,260 --> 00:34:38,690 balls visible light image now we're 799 00:34:45,700 --> 00:34:41,270 going to go from 2d image to 3d model in 800 00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:45,710 the infrared and we're gonna slowly pull 801 00:34:52,899 --> 00:34:49,369 back this is a 3d model that our team 802 00:34:55,450 --> 00:34:52,909 here of visualizers put together by 803 00:34:57,579 --> 00:34:55,460 taking apart the image and then putting 804 00:35:00,089 --> 00:34:57,589 it back together in a three-dimensional 805 00:35:03,430 --> 00:35:00,099 computer model and give you a 806 00:35:05,109 --> 00:35:03,440 three-dimensional feel for the structure 807 00:35:07,359 --> 00:35:05,119 you've talked about this technique 808 00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:07,369 before and in another talk we that that 809 00:35:10,810 --> 00:35:09,440 you had given to remember the 810 00:35:13,690 --> 00:35:10,820 visualization talks so that's on our 811 00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,700 youtube channel as well on how you some 812 00:35:17,140 --> 00:35:15,680 of these things right I think that was 813 00:35:19,540 --> 00:35:17,150 the truth and beauty talk I gave him 814 00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:19,550 Texas they also gave that as a public 815 00:35:25,630 --> 00:35:22,670 lecture series we didn't hang out cast 816 00:35:30,490 --> 00:35:25,640 that one on you Joe no but the one in 817 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:30,500 Austin is so so what we did and you can 818 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:33,050 you can take take you can go to the the 819 00:35:37,660 --> 00:35:34,010 length of Tony Post 820 00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:37,670 and see that but what I really wanted is 821 00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:41,510 to show you is if I go to my screen 822 00:35:50,410 --> 00:35:47,020 share again and share my web browser 823 00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:50,420 there's my web browser all right that we 824 00:35:56,470 --> 00:35:52,880 have a new section on hubbell site for 825 00:35:59,050 --> 00:35:56,480 sharing these videos all right and so my 826 00:36:01,150 --> 00:35:59,060 web browser up no it's not up Tony's 827 00:36:06,099 --> 00:36:01,160 looking at me funny go to my screen 828 00:36:06,569 --> 00:36:06,109 share choose desktop to or no there we 829 00:36:10,390 --> 00:36:06,579 go 830 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:10,400 and start screen share that better yeah 831 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:12,890 that's better now I look okay so this is 832 00:36:19,170 --> 00:36:15,170 our Hubbell site web page Hubbell site 833 00:36:21,010 --> 00:36:19,180 dot o-r-g and you can see that up in the 834 00:36:23,170 --> 00:36:21,020 advertising box up here it says 835 00:36:24,670 --> 00:36:23,180 astronomy videos go to the page you can 836 00:36:28,329 --> 00:36:24,680 click that go to the page and get there 837 00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:28,339 if you go down to the middle of the page 838 00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:31,040 you can see a link to videos astronomy 839 00:36:34,750 --> 00:36:32,480 features visualizations bring space 840 00:36:36,609 --> 00:36:34,760 science to life then we got it though 841 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:36,619 there but we also have at the very top 842 00:36:42,430 --> 00:36:39,530 of the page along our menu bar we have 843 00:36:44,559 --> 00:36:42,440 that thing videos three ways to get to 844 00:36:47,859 --> 00:36:44,569 it from the home page or pushing it this 845 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:47,869 month aren't we yeah I have I go to that 846 00:36:53,020 --> 00:36:50,410 page you can see that we have a 847 00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:53,030 collection of videos right now we are 848 00:36:57,579 --> 00:36:55,849 featuring this movie which I call the 849 00:37:01,390 --> 00:36:57,589 evaporating Peaks pillars in the monkey 850 00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:01,400 head nebula and if I scroll down you can 851 00:37:05,770 --> 00:37:02,990 see we have that horse head video from 852 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:05,780 last year we have some star clusters we 853 00:37:11,859 --> 00:37:08,810 have some j ust actually along the left 854 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:11,869 hand side here we've got categories so 855 00:37:17,530 --> 00:37:14,930 we've got videos about planets some 856 00:37:20,770 --> 00:37:17,540 Jupiter and Saturn videos we have some 857 00:37:23,470 --> 00:37:20,780 stars star clusters and the 858 00:37:25,420 --> 00:37:23,480 constellation of Orion we have the 859 00:37:27,069 --> 00:37:25,430 nebula which I gotta say our bread and 860 00:37:29,890 --> 00:37:27,079 butter because the nebula are really 861 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:29,900 really cool we have amazing shots of 862 00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:33,490 nebula we have some galaxies stuff 863 00:37:38,140 --> 00:37:35,750 that's actually my favorite you could 864 00:37:39,970 --> 00:37:38,150 talk about that one that the galaxy 865 00:37:42,190 --> 00:37:39,980 collisions the simulations versus 866 00:37:44,589 --> 00:37:42,200 observations and okay that one's amazing 867 00:37:44,970 --> 00:37:44,599 that's why I will go into that and I 868 00:37:47,550 --> 00:37:44,980 will 869 00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:47,560 bring it up alright and you can see that 870 00:37:52,589 --> 00:37:50,560 on ah if you go to each page you can we 871 00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:52,599 have the youtube link to it so you can 872 00:37:59,099 --> 00:37:56,760 watch the the visualization from YouTube 873 00:38:00,120 --> 00:37:59,109 and you could make it fullscreen or I 874 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:00,130 think I'll just let it play in the 875 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:03,250 background while I talk here but you've 876 00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:05,410 also can see that we've got lots of 877 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:07,990 information about this now this was one 878 00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:11,170 where we have a bunch of colliding 879 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:14,079 galaxies we had 59 galaxy images for 880 00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:16,570 this press release of images galaxies 881 00:38:22,020 --> 00:38:18,910 that were colliding and so I took a 882 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:22,030 computer simulation of two galaxies 883 00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:25,119 colliding and I matched it to five 884 00:38:32,430 --> 00:38:29,260 different stages in the under galaxy 885 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:32,440 collision so there are five different 886 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:35,410 images from this set of 59 that I could 887 00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:37,570 match to one computer simulation and 888 00:38:45,089 --> 00:38:40,990 show you how that each image from Hubble 889 00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:45,099 is just one snapshot in a really long 890 00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:48,700 process and really long I mean a billion 891 00:38:53,579 --> 00:38:51,910 and a half years yeah that just blows me 892 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:53,589 away because you think about what you're 893 00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:55,210 what Hubble is showing us when we see 894 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,250 galaxy collisions and then you run it 895 00:39:01,410 --> 00:38:59,200 with you put it in the context of that 896 00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:01,420 simulation you have this model that 897 00:39:06,059 --> 00:39:03,910 you're running really is a great vision 898 00:39:08,370 --> 00:39:06,069 is a great way to see that every single 899 00:39:11,609 --> 00:39:08,380 one of those 59 images are at some point 900 00:39:13,770 --> 00:39:11,619 a point in time of a much longer drama 901 00:39:15,359 --> 00:39:13,780 of these galaxies interacting and so 902 00:39:17,069 --> 00:39:15,369 that's my favorite thing that's one of 903 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:17,079 my favorite ones you've ever made now 904 00:39:21,690 --> 00:39:18,730 this is a big effort you're going 905 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:21,700 through that you're going through so 906 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:23,890 people need to check back a lot on this 907 00:39:28,140 --> 00:39:25,930 website because Frank is adding to this 908 00:39:32,099 --> 00:39:28,150 all the time right I mean you're going 909 00:39:33,210 --> 00:39:32,109 back and putting visualizations up that 910 00:39:35,370 --> 00:39:33,220 you've had sitting around on your 911 00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:35,380 computer for a while right right what 912 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:36,430 we're doing is we're going back through 913 00:39:42,780 --> 00:39:38,650 all of the videos that we've produced in 914 00:39:45,329 --> 00:39:42,790 the past 10 or 15 years and we're taking 915 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:45,339 them and we're where we can we're 916 00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:48,810 rear-ending them at full HD 1920 by 1080 917 00:39:53,069 --> 00:39:51,700 you'll notice on News Center and in 918 00:39:55,290 --> 00:39:53,079 Hubble site that we generated these 919 00:39:58,260 --> 00:39:55,300 things only at 1280 by 720 at maximum 920 00:39:59,790 --> 00:39:58,270 resolution I've worked an 921 00:40:03,000 --> 00:39:59,800 axé films okay that's not good enough 922 00:40:05,340 --> 00:40:03,010 for me I want the full HD right and so 923 00:40:07,260 --> 00:40:05,350 we're making available and if you look 924 00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:07,270 on my web the web page here I'm going to 925 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:09,520 just highlight the right hand side are 926 00:40:13,980 --> 00:40:12,370 these download options right whoops 927 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:13,990 there we go on the right hand side 928 00:40:18,420 --> 00:40:15,370 you've got these download options 929 00:40:21,090 --> 00:40:18,430 QuickTime WebM and Windows Media you can 930 00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:21,100 get them at Full HD resolution to 931 00:40:25,890 --> 00:40:23,310 download and play on your computer 932 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:25,900 astronomers also appreciate this because 933 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:27,850 they download these and use them in 934 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:31,330 their talks or in their classes when you 935 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:33,370 say that you love this one I have to say 936 00:40:39,690 --> 00:40:36,970 that my my colleagues love that because 937 00:40:41,730 --> 00:40:39,700 they it is used in so many astronomy 101 938 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:41,740 classrooms where they can show off 939 00:40:47,550 --> 00:40:43,810 what's route what's happening and relate 940 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:47,560 the simulation to the visual to the 941 00:40:50,970 --> 00:40:49,570 observations yeah I'm glad you said that 942 00:40:53,370 --> 00:40:50,980 I was gonna say this is a great resource 943 00:40:55,620 --> 00:40:53,380 for educators to do a walk of all ages 944 00:40:58,410 --> 00:40:55,630 all grades and stuff they can use these 945 00:40:59,940 --> 00:40:58,420 in their classes so yeah I'm gonna go go 946 00:41:02,490 --> 00:40:59,950 to the site guys download this stuff 947 00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:02,500 it's all free you can use it however you 948 00:41:07,350 --> 00:41:04,960 want and let me highlight one more thing 949 00:41:10,230 --> 00:41:07,360 because the other thing that we've got 950 00:41:14,310 --> 00:41:10,240 on here are stereo 3d versions of these 951 00:41:17,250 --> 00:41:14,320 all right because we have been since we 952 00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:17,260 did the IMAX film Hubble 3d back in 2010 953 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:19,420 we have been experimenting with stereo 954 00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:22,450 3d so as you can see we've got what is 955 00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:24,310 it six different visualizations right 956 00:41:30,750 --> 00:41:27,310 now on the website that have stereo 3d 957 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:30,760 versions so if you own an HDTV with 958 00:41:35,820 --> 00:41:33,370 stereo 3d capabilities you can download 959 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:35,830 these movies generally you play them for 960 00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:37,810 the Media Player of the television you 961 00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:40,240 put your TV into 3d mode this these are 962 00:41:44,340 --> 00:41:42,400 our side by side versions so you put 963 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:44,350 your TV into the 3d side-by-side mode 964 00:41:49,890 --> 00:41:46,810 put on your glasses and then you'll see 965 00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:49,900 the the Hubble images pull out into into 966 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:52,420 3d it's not just seeing a 2d version of 967 00:41:56,820 --> 00:41:54,610 our 3d models are actually seeing of 968 00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:56,830 them extend out both in front of the 969 00:42:01,560 --> 00:41:58,450 television set and behind the television 970 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:01,570 set they're really beautiful so what 971 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:03,610 what software do you I mean I get a lot 972 00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:05,170 of questions sometime about this what 973 00:42:09,390 --> 00:42:07,270 what software do you primarily use to 974 00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:09,400 put these together with well when we're 975 00:42:14,970 --> 00:42:11,460 doing the stereo 3d ones 976 00:42:17,610 --> 00:42:14,980 most of the ones here use a software 977 00:42:20,670 --> 00:42:17,620 that's called from Autodesk called Maya 978 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:20,680 it's some same software that Hollywood 979 00:42:26,130 --> 00:42:24,010 uses for most most every blockbuster 980 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:26,140 movie that you see that uses 3d 981 00:42:31,110 --> 00:42:28,810 visualization probably uses Maya there's 982 00:42:33,180 --> 00:42:31,120 others light wave and Houdini and a few 983 00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:33,190 other things and there's even the open 984 00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:35,460 source blender 3d modeling software 985 00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:38,350 that's available but we happen to be 986 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:41,200 using Maya then of course we use all 987 00:42:47,070 --> 00:42:42,850 sorts of things to prepare the images 988 00:42:48,570 --> 00:42:47,080 whether it's or Photoshop or other 989 00:42:50,370 --> 00:42:48,580 things and you know since it's 990 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:50,380 scientific data there's often times that 991 00:42:55,380 --> 00:42:53,530 I will need to use my own my own 992 00:42:58,020 --> 00:42:55,390 software or some scientific software 993 00:43:01,590 --> 00:42:58,030 write code that transforms the science 994 00:43:05,010 --> 00:43:01,600 data into a suitable format for using in 995 00:43:07,530 --> 00:43:05,020 the visualization if I've got you know 996 00:43:10,050 --> 00:43:07,540 ten thousands galaxies in a 997 00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:10,060 visualization I'm not going to go by 998 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:11,920 hand and place ten thousand galaxies at 999 00:43:16,890 --> 00:43:14,170 ten thousand different 3d positions in 1000 00:43:19,350 --> 00:43:16,900 space instead I'm gonna write code that 1001 00:43:21,210 --> 00:43:19,360 will write out a script that will then 1002 00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:21,220 do that tenth those ten thousand 1003 00:43:25,470 --> 00:43:23,710 positionings for me so it's a it's a 1004 00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:25,480 good combination of scientific software 1005 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:30,250 custom software off the show commercial 1006 00:43:33,930 --> 00:43:31,690 software that we use in our in our 1007 00:43:35,130 --> 00:43:33,940 productions how did you get into this 1008 00:43:37,170 --> 00:43:35,140 Frank how did you get into the 1009 00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:37,180 visualization you started out as an 1010 00:43:42,420 --> 00:43:39,730 astronomer doing research and what and 1011 00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:42,430 you also but now you're I mean you you 1012 00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:44,590 you're huge and been making these big 1013 00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:46,240 you know these visualizations how did 1014 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:50,200 you get into it well it was actually 1015 00:43:55,710 --> 00:43:52,720 kind of funny because it started when I 1016 00:43:58,860 --> 00:43:55,720 was doing a postdoc at Princeton after I 1017 00:44:00,270 --> 00:43:58,870 did my PhD at Berkeley I came to 1018 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:00,280 Princeton to work with Jerry Ostreicher 1019 00:44:05,580 --> 00:44:03,970 and David Spergel and we were part of 1020 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:05,590 something we called the grand challenge 1021 00:44:11,670 --> 00:44:08,770 cosmology consortium doing computer 1022 00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:11,680 simulations of how galaxies form in the 1023 00:44:16,980 --> 00:44:15,340 universe and we were approached by of 1024 00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:16,990 some folks who are making an IMAX film 1025 00:44:21,870 --> 00:44:19,900 the IMAX film cosmic voyage and they 1026 00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:21,880 wanted to do an evolution of the 1027 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:24,250 universe from the Big Bang to the 1028 00:44:28,060 --> 00:44:25,010 formation of 1029 00:44:29,860 --> 00:44:28,070 earth and so they came to us as the 1030 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:29,870 cosmology consortium saying all right 1031 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:31,970 well how do we draw the early stages the 1032 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:35,690 universe tell our artists what to draw 1033 00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:37,610 to show the formation of galaxies and 1034 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:40,310 then we sure showed them our computer 1035 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:42,650 simulations and all the complexity and 1036 00:44:46,510 --> 00:44:43,970 all the detail that we have these 1037 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:46,520 computer simulations and they said wow 1038 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:49,490 that's kind of cool maybe we could use 1039 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:51,440 your simulations instead of asking 1040 00:44:58,960 --> 00:44:56,410 artists to draw it so my PhD thesis I 1041 00:45:02,320 --> 00:44:58,970 scaled the simulation up by a factor of 1042 00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:02,330 10 ran it on the largest supercomputer 1043 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:04,250 of the time at the National Center for 1044 00:45:12,090 --> 00:45:07,970 supercomputing applications and my data 1045 00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:12,100 appears in the IMAX film cosmic voyage 1046 00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:14,720 you were hooked from that point on well 1047 00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:18,710 during that process I served as not just 1048 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:21,920 a data provider but also I became the 1049 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:24,050 main liaison between the astronomers and 1050 00:45:29,230 --> 00:45:27,770 the visualizers out at NCSA and I found 1051 00:45:31,570 --> 00:45:29,240 that I had National Center for 1052 00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:31,580 supercomputing applications exactly they 1053 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:34,160 had a great wonderful help yeah 1054 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:35,810 wonderful visualization group out there 1055 00:45:42,460 --> 00:45:40,610 run by Donna Cox and Donna and I found 1056 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:42,470 that we could she was a she's an artist 1057 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:44,480 I'm a scientist but we could meet in the 1058 00:45:47,770 --> 00:45:46,010 middle we could we could chat very well 1059 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:47,780 and I found I was in a really good 1060 00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:50,810 translator of the science to the art 1061 00:45:55,870 --> 00:45:53,920 side and that you know working 1062 00:45:57,100 --> 00:45:55,880 understanding one and being able to 1063 00:46:01,420 --> 00:45:57,110 explain it to the other and vice versa 1064 00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:01,430 it was a really good role for me so that 1065 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:05,110 got me hired at the Hayden Planetarium 1066 00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:09,050 to work on the exhibits for the Rose 1067 00:46:12,940 --> 00:46:10,400 Center for the earth person space I 1068 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:12,950 don't put in two thousand and it's been 1069 00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:14,690 in I've been doing lots of visualization 1070 00:46:22,450 --> 00:46:20,240 ever since then and so my job has moved 1071 00:46:26,860 --> 00:46:22,460 out of doing scientific research slowly 1072 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:26,870 moved over the years from 1994 on my job 1073 00:46:31,060 --> 00:46:28,970 slowly moved from doing scientific 1074 00:46:33,220 --> 00:46:31,070 research in cosmology and how galaxies 1075 00:46:36,430 --> 00:46:33,230 formed to doing the public outreach and 1076 00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:36,440 doing the visualizations that that I 1077 00:46:40,990 --> 00:46:38,630 love to do so much now and now 1078 00:46:43,779 --> 00:46:41,000 how important do you think the 1079 00:46:45,309 --> 00:46:43,789 scientific background is for doing this 1080 00:46:47,079 --> 00:46:45,319 kind of thing I mean I'm trying to 1081 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:47,089 imagine somebody who's very interested 1082 00:46:52,210 --> 00:46:50,210 in doing these visualizations but maybe 1083 00:46:54,819 --> 00:46:52,220 isn't a scientist how how would you 1084 00:46:57,089 --> 00:46:54,829 weigh that ability to be able to do like 1085 00:46:59,230 --> 00:46:57,099 you said but Donna Cox were to you know 1086 00:47:02,019 --> 00:46:59,240 translate the science into a more 1087 00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:02,029 artistic thing do you think that's a do 1088 00:47:05,349 --> 00:47:03,680 you think that's a very big part of what 1089 00:47:06,759 --> 00:47:05,359 you do and would you recommend that 1090 00:47:08,529 --> 00:47:06,769 anybody else wanting to get into that 1091 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:08,539 have a pretty heavy science background 1092 00:47:14,019 --> 00:47:11,210 well if you want to do it right I think 1093 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:14,029 you have to have to not have a science 1094 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:16,130 background but be willing to collaborate 1095 00:47:22,559 --> 00:47:18,890 with someone who does this is what makes 1096 00:47:25,809 --> 00:47:22,569 Donna understand whatever it is he says 1097 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:25,819 this is what as a start from the 1098 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:28,970 beginning and what we strive for here at 1099 00:47:35,019 --> 00:47:32,450 Space Telescope is that we want to 1100 00:47:37,509 --> 00:47:35,029 achieve a verisimilitude of science 1101 00:47:38,769 --> 00:47:37,519 right we can't get an exact we're not 1102 00:47:41,799 --> 00:47:38,779 going to be perfectly scientifically 1103 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:41,809 exact this is a movie as you know you 1104 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:44,450 want it to be entertaining but we don't 1105 00:47:49,779 --> 00:47:46,490 want to miss teach we don't want to put 1106 00:47:53,319 --> 00:47:49,789 in misconceptions can I rag on cosmos 1107 00:47:56,140 --> 00:47:53,329 Tony do you sure okay I mean a Neil 1108 00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:56,150 Tyson hired me at AMNH he's a great 1109 00:47:59,680 --> 00:47:57,890 friend of mine and everything I'm not 1110 00:48:01,799 --> 00:47:59,690 trying to rag on Neil but I'm gonna rag 1111 00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:01,809 on their computer graphics folks okay 1112 00:48:08,349 --> 00:48:04,250 because their very first episode of 1113 00:48:11,220 --> 00:48:08,359 cosmos had three howling errors of 1114 00:48:14,529 --> 00:48:11,230 computer graphics in the first you know 1115 00:48:16,930 --> 00:48:14,539 15 minutes and it really bothered me 1116 00:48:18,099 --> 00:48:16,940 because this is what I do for a living 1117 00:48:20,529 --> 00:48:18,109 okay this is what I really care about 1118 00:48:22,150 --> 00:48:20,539 and let me just give you a kiss to 1119 00:48:24,009 --> 00:48:22,160 glycin is a little too far then I'm 1120 00:48:25,870 --> 00:48:24,019 saying they had Hollywood computer 1121 00:48:27,460 --> 00:48:25,880 graphics guys doing it and they didn't 1122 00:48:31,029 --> 00:48:27,470 have a scientist doing the oversight 1123 00:48:33,519 --> 00:48:31,039 okay so for example their spaceship of 1124 00:48:35,799 --> 00:48:33,529 the mind right that the old silver 1125 00:48:39,130 --> 00:48:35,809 flying wing was flying through the 1126 00:48:41,980 --> 00:48:39,140 asteroid belt right and it was dodging 1127 00:48:44,740 --> 00:48:41,990 asteroids as if the asteroid belt were 1128 00:48:47,109 --> 00:48:44,750 this you know you densely packed with 1129 00:48:49,660 --> 00:48:47,119 asteroids like in a Star Wars film right 1130 00:48:52,270 --> 00:48:49,670 exactly these are guys who grew up they 1131 00:48:53,770 --> 00:48:52,280 saw Empire Strikes Back they know that 1132 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:53,780 no if you go into an asteroid belt it'll 1133 00:48:57,610 --> 00:48:55,610 be dangerous and you have to swerve the 1134 00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:57,620 ship back and forth through it that's 1135 00:49:04,300 --> 00:49:01,040 total BS the asteroid belt 1136 00:49:06,310 --> 00:49:04,310 is totally empty right you could fly 1137 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:06,320 through the asteroid belt and never ever 1138 00:49:13,870 --> 00:49:11,530 see a single asteroid and that really 1139 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:13,880 would you go so far as to say they were 1140 00:49:17,950 --> 00:49:16,490 miss teaching them yeah that is miss 1141 00:49:20,860 --> 00:49:17,960 teaching that is reinforcing a 1142 00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:20,870 misconception that has been around you 1143 00:49:25,810 --> 00:49:23,510 know certainly since a lot of the sci-fi 1144 00:49:27,310 --> 00:49:25,820 movies have adopted the idea that you 1145 00:49:28,780 --> 00:49:27,320 know the asteroid belt is dense it would 1146 00:49:30,790 --> 00:49:28,790 be dangerous you don't want to fly into 1147 00:49:32,530 --> 00:49:30,800 an asteroid belt and that's just wrong 1148 00:49:35,260 --> 00:49:32,540 at least in our solar system the 1149 00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:35,270 asteroid belt is really really sparse 1150 00:49:41,110 --> 00:49:38,510 and you have to work really really hard 1151 00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:41,120 to get anywhere near an asteroid and you 1152 00:49:45,670 --> 00:49:43,760 think of our missions the dawn mission 1153 00:49:48,130 --> 00:49:45,680 that's gonna approach Ceres next year 1154 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:48,140 right we're working pretty damn hard to 1155 00:49:54,070 --> 00:49:51,290 get at anywhere near Ceres right that's 1156 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:54,080 a complex trajectory just to get there 1157 00:49:59,500 --> 00:49:57,650 so you know it's you don't accidentally 1158 00:50:01,540 --> 00:49:59,510 come upon an asteroid very often right 1159 00:50:03,130 --> 00:50:01,550 yes true and we've sent many probes out 1160 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:03,140 into the outer and will not manny but we 1161 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:05,090 have sent some out into the outer our 1162 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:06,890 solar system and there's been nothing 1163 00:50:10,780 --> 00:50:08,450 really to worry about we just send them 1164 00:50:12,550 --> 00:50:10,790 straight out there and they actually I 1165 00:50:14,980 --> 00:50:12,560 mean the one place we did have to worry 1166 00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:14,990 was the rings of Jupiter rings of 1167 00:50:19,930 --> 00:50:17,510 Saturn's all right there the ring plane 1168 00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:19,940 crossing of Saturn for Voyager we 1169 00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:22,310 worried an awful lot about that turned 1170 00:50:27,250 --> 00:50:24,800 out to be just fine but that was one 1171 00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:27,260 place where we know there are literally 1172 00:50:31,630 --> 00:50:29,510 millions to billions of particles in 1173 00:50:34,660 --> 00:50:31,640 those rings and that's someplace that 1174 00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:34,670 you do have to worry about it but not 1175 00:50:40,780 --> 00:50:36,710 the asteroid belt anyway that's just one 1176 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:40,790 example of the carefulness that you want 1177 00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:43,850 to take with computer graphics that I 1178 00:50:48,370 --> 00:50:46,400 want to make sure that the science is 1179 00:50:50,710 --> 00:50:48,380 presented accurately it doesn't miss 1180 00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:50,720 teach but it doesn't have to be 1181 00:50:55,060 --> 00:50:53,510 perfectly accurate right I mean your 1182 00:50:57,490 --> 00:50:55,070 cameras are always flying faster than 1183 00:50:59,680 --> 00:50:57,500 the speed of light you have to speed up 1184 00:51:00,910 --> 00:50:59,690 and slow down time you have to show some 1185 00:51:03,010 --> 00:51:00,920 things that are invisible that are 1186 00:51:05,250 --> 00:51:03,020 invisible to the human eye yeah there's 1187 00:51:07,770 --> 00:51:05,260 artistic license you can allow but you 1188 00:51:10,980 --> 00:51:07,780 want the main messages to be strong and 1189 00:51:13,170 --> 00:51:10,990 I really you know when professors say 1190 00:51:15,090 --> 00:51:13,180 hey I use your visualization in my 1191 00:51:16,350 --> 00:51:15,100 classroom that's one of the greatest 1192 00:51:18,570 --> 00:51:16,360 compliments they can ever give me 1193 00:51:21,060 --> 00:51:18,580 because it shows me I've got the basics 1194 00:51:23,190 --> 00:51:21,070 down and that it's worthy of using as as 1195 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:23,200 a teaching device not just for 1196 00:51:26,610 --> 00:51:25,450 entertainment exactly so I would I mean 1197 00:51:28,590 --> 00:51:26,620 I would encourage anybody who's 1198 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:28,600 interested in this and to take a look at 1199 00:51:32,190 --> 00:51:30,610 these visualizations of Frank's created 1200 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:32,200 and he also worked with others at the 1201 00:51:35,660 --> 00:51:33,490 Institute to make these and he has a 1202 00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:35,670 great team of people and they are 1203 00:51:42,330 --> 00:51:39,280 astonishingly I just know these are like 1204 00:51:44,820 --> 00:51:42,340 I mean I my first video I made in 2006 1205 00:51:46,700 --> 00:51:44,830 was on the Hubble Deep Field and there 1206 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:46,710 was this you know Frank had done a 1207 00:51:51,330 --> 00:51:48,610 visualization where we kind of flew 1208 00:51:53,340 --> 00:51:51,340 through the Ultra Deep Field and you 1209 00:51:55,950 --> 00:51:53,350 know that was that you know that was 1210 00:51:57,390 --> 00:51:55,960 just one example of the kind of stuff 1211 00:51:59,760 --> 00:51:57,400 that he did and even then he was careful 1212 00:52:01,830 --> 00:51:59,770 to say you know I had to squish to scale 1213 00:52:04,250 --> 00:52:01,840 all those galaxies you know those guys 1214 00:52:07,050 --> 00:52:04,260 aren't really that close together so 1215 00:52:09,450 --> 00:52:07,060 anyway they're amazing stuff they're the 1216 00:52:11,940 --> 00:52:09,460 source of a lot of good material for 1217 00:52:13,170 --> 00:52:11,950 videos that I make as well and I just I 1218 00:52:15,750 --> 00:52:13,180 just think everybody should show check 1219 00:52:17,070 --> 00:52:15,760 them out and let us know what you think 1220 00:52:19,890 --> 00:52:17,080 I mean you know give us some feedback 1221 00:52:22,170 --> 00:52:19,900 that Frank know let me know and and keep 1222 00:52:23,340 --> 00:52:22,180 checking back because he's adding more 1223 00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:23,350 all the time right uh-huh 1224 00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:25,510 right just whenever you feel like it 1225
