Data collected over a 10 hour period of the M42 & M43 nebula. The capturing process used portrays light that has traveled thousands of years to now be represented through hundreds of separate images amassed into one whole. This whole, compressed with data, still only yields a reflection of what once was and only from a fixed perspective. Revealing our limitation on harnessing the powers of the universe and our portrayal of scientific knowledge as a whole as opposed to the fragmented way in which we perceive it.
