Hubble (film)

Hubble also known as Hubble 3D, IMAX Hubble or IMAX Hubble 3D is an American 2010 documentary film about the Hubble Space Telescope repair mission.

The films itinerary takes the viewer past Saturns aurora, the Helix Nebula in the constellation of Aquarius, the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula, the Andromeda galaxy, and the beautiful Butterfly Nebula. The HST has provided data and imagery so detailed that scientists and film technicians have been able to put viewers inside the images during two extended CGI flythroughs. In the most awesome sequence, gaseous clouds billow while millionmileanhour stellar winds blow through a cloud canyon in the Orion Nebula some 90 trillion miles across. These datadriven animations were created by the Office of Public Outreach at the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Advanced Visualization Laboratory at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.Footage seen within the movie was compiled from multiple sources, including IMAX cameras taken into space on Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Missions by the Space Shuttle. This allowed the camera to shoot footage of the satellite closeup and during maintenance. IMAX cameras were taken to the Hubble Space Telescope on STS61 Servicing Missionin December 1993 and most recently on STS125 Servicing Missionin May 2009 which carried an IMAX 3D camera. The IMAX 3D camera contained a mile of film, though this allowed for onlyminutesseconds of footage to be recorded. ........
