Real Pictures VS SpaceEngine

space pictures today we're in space engine and we're gonna look at space pictures real ones from the Hubble Space Telescope and try to recreate them in space engine and get them as close as possible we're gonna go through a few different galaxies and nebulas and we're gonna look at some planets too so let's get right into it okay so this picture right here is M51 or the whirlpool Galaxy this is a real picture of it taken by the Hubble Space Telescope so we're gonna try to recreate that picture the best that we can so let's search for the whirlpool Galaxy and just see what comes up okay so this might not even be that hard if you just go like this so actually I think it might be more realistic if we take it from Earth because Hubble is on Earth so we might get more of the correct lighting and stars and stuff okay so if we go so here's Earth where's my atmosphere boom so Let's Pretend We're the Hubble telescope like in orbit boom okay we're orbiting the Earth and then we search for the whirlpool Galaxy get it and then zoom in all the way on it like we are in oh yeah that's gonna work good like we're in the like we are the Hubble telescope okay so there's another galaxy there I'm not sure which one that is for the purposes of our picture let's line it up like this and then we want our exposure up a little bit that already looks awesome okay and oh a little bit darker adjusting some of the settings on here okay and boom okay so here is my final picture of the whirlpool Galaxy that I took in space Engine versus the real one but the thing is with these galaxies is space engine actually uses the real image on it um so it's it is gonna look exactly like the image but with some of our planets and nebulas it generates 3D models like this technically is a 3D model we could go in it this is the whirlpool Galaxy so that is still pretty cool but now we're going to do the Eagle Nebula which has the Pillars of Creation all right so here is the Eagle Nebula and you can see right in the middle there The Pillars of Creation if you zoomed in on it this is a very very famous nebula so let's go back to Earth because that's where that's where the Hubble Is before we go take a picture of it let's just go look at what a 3D model of it is gonna look like in space engine okay well that is a little bit disappointing if that's it if that's what we're looking at where's I don't even know where I'm supposed to look at it from oh there's I see the pillars I think [Music] in there I think those are the pillars right here okay so let's go back to Earth so we can get like the right angle because the view from Earth is going to be different than the view from anywhere else okay so Earth's super bright because of our exposure there we go and now let's search for the Eagle Nebula okay so if you're on Earth and you just look up in the night sky and see the Milky Way you can see there's a nebula and if you do have a telescope you can maybe see a little bit of the Eagle Nebula okay so this is what it looks like from Earth on Space engine I wonder why we can't see a ton this is Max exposure so I think this model is not super good I think you can get mods to try to get better models for some of our known nebulae um and then we have a nebula down here too so there's The Pillars of Creation in the middle so uh the way they're lined up in the picture they're kind of facing like this for the pillars of creation okay so we're gonna do this is our picture let's line it up this does not look nearly as good as it does in the real picture from the Hubble which is kind of disappointing that space engine wouldn't be able to get a better model for this front part um but let's see now we're gonna try Saturn so we can see how well Saturn translates in space engine okay so here is a picture of Saturn from the Hubble Space Telescope so let's find Saturn let's go to Saturn first and look at it so the view right next to Saturn is going to be a little different than the view from far away but already like look at that that looks almost identical if you went like this turned on a better lighting turned up the exposure a little bit and maybe down go a little further away and then zoom in boom Oh my gosh that is so good that looks just like it okay wait we need to do it from Earth though because that's where all of these are taken from we're not going to be able to be standing right next to Saturn and take the picture so let's see if we can make it look that good from Earth still okay so we're floating right above Earth which is where the Hubble Is and Saturn's gonna be that dot there okay so if we zoom in on Saturn still look at that space engine's really good with planets line it up check that out so it might vary a little bit uh based on like the time of year of Earth and Saturn so to get this exact picture you'd have to go to the exact date that it was taken in space engine check that out so here is my final picture the one I took in space engine compared to the real picture of from the Hubble okay okay I remember this one actually working pretty well in space engine this is a picture of the Ring Nebula which is a really famous nebula also so let's go to it first here's a first glance at the Ring Nebula so it looks like we have even more colors in space engine than we see in the actual picture so you can start to see that like halo effect around it that you actually do see in the picture [Music] um for this picture it's sort of slanted like this uh what what do we see if we turn up the exposure a ton so we see that a lot of that redness but then the middle part so it's actually like spherical if you look at that I wonder if they actually know if it's that shape or they just like guessed that but let's go back to Earth and let's get our comparison picture Okay so we're on earth and the ring that beloved we Follow the arrow is gonna be oh that's the Moon beautiful okay we're good we're doing the moon next don't even worry boom it's right there zoom in zoom in there's another galaxy there okay so this is what you see if you zoom in we need more exposure that is pretty close I do think that this model is better than the one they had for the Eagle Nebula but I do think um they could do some more work to try to get it to look more like the picture but this is going to be my picture of the Ring nebby let's take it okay so final picture of the Ring Nebula in space Engine versus the real picture of it okay let's do a picture of the Moon because I think that that is one of the best objects in space engine just because we do know so much about it that you can get pictures in space engine that look absolutely realistic [Music] oh my gosh look at that shot that we can get this is like one of my favorite objects to go fly around and look at just because the detail is so insane okay so we're also going to do the Andromeda galaxy which is the brightest Galaxy that we could see from Earth Andromeda so here is a space engine model of the Andromeda galaxy uh looks not too hard to get a good picture of this one might be harder than the than the whirlpool Galaxy because this it doesn't look like they use this exact picture for it if you look at this picture so let's go to Earth and see if we can get anything close to that okay so here's Earth if we go right above the land we don't want to be on the land above so we're still in orbit now and then search Andromeda okay so this little dot there oh you can already kind of see it so it looks like there's a lot of stars in that picture so how do I get a lot of stars to show up but not have the Galaxy be so bright oh here we go look galaxies turn it down in brightness how come that makes it disappear turn the Stars up oh okay okay I see so get the galaxy in the right brightness probably about there that actually looks pretty close so the colors aren't going to be the same but oh look you can even see how in the picture there's a smaller Galaxy at the bottom and we can see that right here and I don't see this one though um but how do we get the zoom right yeah you can see the blue stars even line up because we're standing on Earth doing this so some of the Stars you can see like this red one and there should be a smaller red one next to it yeah those Stars line up that's actually really cool to see so that's proved that how realistic space engine can be with celestial object placement okay so we're gonna take our picture probably like this so I know the colors aren't the same but also they kind of alter the colors to make it look as cool as possible in some of the Hubble pictures um but that is a picture of the Andromeda galaxy in space engine and then here's the real one again okay finally we're gonna do the Orion Nebula which is one of the most famous nebulas that you can see from Earth so here's what it kind of is gonna look like in space engine oh I have the Stars so bright you oh whoa whoa um this one does look a little better than some of the other ones I think in space engine so here's a real picture of it and then we're gonna go to Earth so we can get the right angle again and then we will zoom in on it and see how that looks so here's Earth we'll go right above the surface right there okay so you can already start to see it so this is actually in the constellation of Orion let's turn some of these let's turn the stars back down because they're just so bright okay so yeah you can start to see the constellation Orion we have this star this star this star this star they make a box and then in the middle of those box there's three stars and that's Orion's Belt so when you see it it'll probably be more oriented like this if you live in the Northern Hemisphere you'll see this about November to April depending on it can change a little bit depending on where you live but if you look right here in the constellation with a telescope even some binoculars you can see a little bit of it there is the Orion Nebula so this actually does look closer to the picture than some of the other ones I would say um it looks like it's a little too dark in some of the spots I need to like turn Okay so that's gonna be so here is the picture we took in space Engine versus the real one all right thank you guys so much for watching this video if you have more pictures that you would want to see looked for in space engine I also want to try to get some mods to see if we can make some of the nebulae look more realistic but thank you so much for watching leave a like on the video If you enjoyed it and I'll see you next time [Music] thank you
