Hubble 3D - Special effects

Space Daily

«That's all real Hubble data, not computerized special effects. Hubble has captured a huge, huge data set-I've forgotten how many thousands of pixels it is across, but it's massive. You pick key frames of where you want to go, so you plan a flight through trial and error, flying literally through the data.» - Toni Myers

«One day we may be so lucky to go into space and see the Earth in all its full glory. Until then, IMAX’s “Hubble 3D,” which opens today, will be a worthy substitute….This is not something you can hope to see at home. Ever.»
Bryan Alexander - NBC New York

«We use the word “awesome” a lot. IMAX’s new movie Hubble is a near-perfect reminder of that word’s true roots and what it should really stand for.»

«In the end, Hubble is exactly what we watch IMAX for. It is eye candy, complete with eye-popping special effects. Unlike Avatar, it’s all real.»

Hubble on Wikipedia

Wikipedia«The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a space shuttle in April 1990. It is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space telescope, Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, and is one of NASA's Great Observatories.»
