Into The Cosmic Reef: The NGC 2014

See what it’s like to fly across the largest satellite galaxy of our Milky Way Galaxy — the NGC 2014, a nebular cloud nicknamed the “Cosmic Reef” — through this computer animated sequence made of combined data and images of this nebular cloud. Travel from a star cluster, to pillars of gas and dust, and finally to another nebular cloud, the NGC 2020, which looks like an hourglass when viewed from the side.
