MINING THE HORSEHEAD NEBULA!
We went out mining, not with a pick axe and shovel, but rather with the MMT Molecular Mining Telescope. The new view is phenomenal!
The process of Molecular Mining is accomplished with the MMT Telescope and the active Molecular Processing Machine. Join us as we process the Horsehead Nebula in Orion in ways never seen before.
The MMT transforms the Horsehead Nebula into something new. For nearly a century, man has gazed at the faint nebular wisps of what looks like the head of a horse and this appearance has not significantly changed until now. With the dynamics of the MMT Telescope and its powerful Molecular Mining Machine, a new extraction results. The MMT is designed to look at things in the Cosmos in a new way and gather information about molecules and structures in space.
