Zoom into JWST Cosmic Cliffs image

[ChrisD (Chris)]

I found this animation showing the location of the "cosmic cliffs" JWST image in relation to the Carina Nebula. I think it's interesting.

Thanks for helping me figure out where it was I have some data at 2700mm of that area, should see how poorly it compares

Hi Chris,
thanks for that - it was great.
On the 2nd look -
I found myself pausing and rewinding the video in many places.
I wonder what software they use to make such videos?

The level of detail the JWST can see is insane. I love it.

Thx Chris , it's amazing, especially when they transition form the Hubble to the JWST image at around 00:45sec . It's like saying: see ya Hubble!

They used a clip from Stellarium up to about 20seconds and them "just" transitioned between a series of high quality Hubble, JWST. etc images. This is achievable with most video editing software using various zooms, pans, overlays, rotations, dissolve transitions etc...
