04:14 Zooming in on the Triangulum Galaxy. This immersive journey transports the viewer on a three-million-light-year voyage to the Triangulum Galaxy, Messier 33. The final view, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, represents the most detailed wide-field observation of this object to date, showcasing the numerous luminous gas clouds in the spiral arms with remarkable clarity.

05:04 Zooming into the Bat Shadow and its “flapping”. From the vicinity around the Serpens Nebula to the young star HBC 672, this video reveals the intriguing "flapping" motion observed for the first time in the shadow of the star's disk by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This star, nicknamed Bat Shadow due to its wing-like shadow feature, resides in the Serpens Nebula, approximately 1300 light-years away.

08:33 Zooming in on NGC 6752 and Bedin 1. This video takes the audience on a visual tour of the globular cluster NGC 6752. The final view from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope showcases the bright stars of the cluster, along with a group of faint stars, which are actually part of a background galaxy discovered unintentionally by astronomers studying the cluster itself. This galaxy, classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, is approximately 30 million light-years away and has been affectionately named Bedin 1 after the principal investigator.
