Here's the coolest tour you could ever think of! It's faster than the speed of light and takes you straight to our galactic neighborhood. You'll witness colorful nebulas, a distant supernova, even a dwarf spheroidal galaxy. You'll enjoy the amazing views from your window and will be offered space-themed snacks. You'll find out what a 'parsec' is. And it’s not slang for “pair of socks”. This is gonna be the greatest sightseeing tour you've ever been on, I promise. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to be surprised multiple times! Our Intergalactic Cruiser is ready to set off. #brightside TIMESTAMPS

The Triangulum Galaxy 11:20 SUMMARY – Our first main item of interest will be an intense star-forming region known as M42, the Orion Nebula;
– The Horse Head nebula: the newborn star at the top of the horse’s head has a strong solar wind that is deforming the shape of the nebular cloud;
– The “M”in M43 and M45 stands for “Messier”;
– Charles Messier was a French astronomer in the 18th century. He published a catalog of 110 fuzzy objects as seen through an early telescope;
– As we approach the Trapezium star cluster in the center, the bright star Theta-C sends out a solar wind at 5 million miles an hour;
– Theta-C is a megastar 200,000 x’s brighter than the Sun. It will go supernova in about a million years;
– Our Sun, which you cannot distinguish from this height above the galaxy, is in the Orion Spur that lies between the outer Perseus arm and the inner Sagittarius arm;
– Only 20% of distant galaxies contain magnetic bars in their cores;
– The Large Magellanic Cloud – LMC to astronomers – is an irregular dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way containing about 30 billion stars with a dynamic star-forming region called the Tarantula Nebula;
– A parsec is about 3.26 light-years, a light-year is about 5.88 trillion miles. The word “parsec” is a combination of two words: “parallax” and “second.”
– 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the closest supernova to Earth since 1604, which happened in the Milky Way;
– M33, The Triangulum Galaxy, the third and last spiral galaxy of our Local Group. Located in the small constellation of Triangulum, Latin for “triangle”, good guess — M33 is about half the size of the Milky Way. Animation is created by Bright Side.
