California-Nebula in 3D
This animation shows the California Molecular Cloud in a 3D reconstruction with 160,000 stars as extinction probes with precise distance estimates. The distance measurement is based on the Gaia EDR3 star catalog.

Orion A-Nebula in 3D
This animation shows the Orion A molecular cloud in a 3D reconstruction with 60,000 stars as extinction probes with precise distance estimates. The distance measurement is based on the Gaia EDR3 star catalog.

Planet Formation
This collection shows the major stages of planet formation, from small-scale dust growth and destruction by various particle collisions,
to large scale simulations of dust and gas which show areas of dust concentration in the protoplanetary disk for particles of a few millimeters. In these areas, the dust can continue to grow and collapse into km-sized planetesimals which is shown in the second simulation. The final zoom shows the system PDC 70c which shows for the first time a young planet in a gas and dust disk.
