00:00:00,233 --> 00:00:02,202
Images of space can be amazing,


2
00:00:02,202 --> 00:00:05,170
 but have you ever wanted to make your very own? 

3
00:00:05,166 --> 00:00:09,000
NASA's Astrophoto Challenge invites you to do just that.

4
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,146
You can pick data from telescopes on earth and in space,

5
00:00:14,146 --> 00:00:15,448
choose colors to apply,

6
00:00:15,666 --> 00:00:18,866
and produce your very own expression
 of the universe.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,733
For this winter's challenge,
 we take you into the iconic Eagle Nebula,

8
00:00:24,966 --> 00:00:29,766
where huge pillars of gas and dust
 are creating new stars, and the hottest

9
00:00:29,766 --> 00:00:33,966
massive stars are eroding away
 emerging areas of star formation.

10
00:00:35,866 --> 00:00:37,533
Have you seen the recent releases 

11
00:00:37,533 --> 00:00:41,600
of The Pillars of Creation by NASA's
 James Webb Space Telescope?

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,800
For the first time, we invite you
 to make your own version of the Webb

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,366
infrared images and combine them
 with data from other telescopes.

14
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,566
Would you like to create a wider view
 of the surrounding Eagle Nebula?

15
00:00:55,733 --> 00:00:58,933
You can choose among several datasets
 that provide a broader view of the

16
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:02,800
star forming region in x-ray, near-infrared,
 and far-infrared light.

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,433
Do you want to include data of the Eagle
 Nebula from a telescope that you control?

18
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,666
You can, with the ground-based
 MicroObservatory Network.

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,100
Choose colors and how they are
 represented in your images

20
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,666
and combine them
 to create something truly unique.

21
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,366
Please make sure to share
 your image with us.

22
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:26,100
Tell us about your creative choices. 

23
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,200
Why did you use the color
 schemes that you did?

24
00:01:28,566 --> 00:01:31,600
Were your choices
 scientific, artistic, or both?
