The Universe Breaking Lore of the Azure Nebula

- The Azure Nebula is at a meeting point along the Klingon Federation border and near to Romulan Space. However, while unimportant in canon lore, it's alternate universe versions have a very different role, that might pertain to reality hoping and time travel among other subspace effects. From Borg to Tholians, many others are interested in this blue dust cloud, so why? Let's take a look.

My guess is the sensors in Star Trek are automatically colourising nebulas the same as NASA does so the crew have the convenience of being able to see the nebula.
My headcanon indeed was also that the viewscreens automatically mapped from radio to gamma with various colour schemes.
Though early TNG asking Geordi to look out of a window to get a better view than the sensors raises questions about that... (especially given the size of the sensors, not to mention whatever frequencies the transparent aluminium would filter).
And in Discovery the few times they tell the computer to add-in IR information colourised to the visible range, that further questions whether it goes on all the time.
But of course, every single "graviton burst" that has colours simply must be colourised from the spatial sensors. So. I don't know. Sigh.
FYI that also applies to Asteroid belts. You can stand on any asteroid and not be able to see another as they are normally thousands to hundreds of thousands of km apart. What we see on TV and movies would be debris fields, either from moons or planets that have recently broken up. If there is enough mass in the local area the field could be collapsing into a new planet as well.
If I remember correctly, 2001 Space Odyssey actually had a space cruise ship go Out Of Its Way to approach an asteroid in the belt. That was how spaced apart they were.
Finally someone mentioned the Borg invasion of 2381!!. Please make a video about it, it's easily the most ignored event in all star trek continuities
oh yes plz i don't even remember that one
Its in the Star Trek Destiny series @NightridingDoom
Time bending shenanigans might be interesting but it can get tiresome as a plot device when it’s used over and over and over again.
Just like the Borg. Or, if you prefer a certain Timelord, Daleks.
@@vic5015it’s the problem when you over use the extraordinary it becomes the mundane
My favorite little Nebula in Star Trek Online. Always fun just sitting there looking at it. So pretty.
I love these videos Rick. Looking at the ... Stuff of star trek, stars, nebula, events? And comparing them to real world known objects and science.
Enjoying these "weird places in Trek" videos! After all, they are pretty much Starfleet's raison d'etre, if i spelled that correctly.
I like how you were able to interject how real-life nebulas look and act like into Star Trek. Much appreciated! 👍
Disclaimer: "I am dumb" LMAO that's hilarious.
So this is basically the magic plot nebula with which they explain away literally all the lore-breaking
Thanks for this Star Trek lore video.
"Space is really big"... there's a tie back to another Sci-Fi series..... Just Don't Panic.
And don’t forget your towel !
I would give almost anything for a Destiny audiobook.
There are destiny audiobooks on audible
No doubt they exist.
@@adamzahzouh136 I'm gonna ask you to link me to that because all I can find is the German version.
@@vic5015 Not that I've been able to find. The German version is out there but I can't find an English one.
Thank you for not getting too technical in your explanation of the nebula and stating that "Space is big really big" is on my level of technobabel. LLNP 🖖
The reason we can see nebulae in Star Trek is because the sensors automatically alter the image seen on the viewscreen. I don't think there's an example of someone seeing a nebula with the naked eye in Star Trek. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
So I’ve just realized- have you done a ship breakdown of the Constitution?
"This is what we know about..." How many hours of material you want, hun? It happens when it happens
@@trelauney The reason I'm asking is because it had seemed lately like Rick had felt done with Federation ships
Thanks for sharing 👍
I'm gonna go out on a 30 second limb here and say it's visible because the presence of the noble gases within it are being ionised by nearby stars and ships passing through it, thereby causing the same effect as electrified neon in a vacuum tube.
That's pretty clever, actually. IIRC, it's argon that glows blue when excited.
it may be phosphorus based nebula that emits blue light thanks to the radiation from the star, particularly UV radiation from nearby stars. Phosphorus is theorized to be produced by cool stars. If thats the case, Azure nebula is explained by being primarily phosphate nebula. however, it only emits blue light under UV, so there goes my theory
Perhaps a ship's shields or sensors emit UV radiation, thereby causing any phosphorus around the vessel to light up?
Straight away, EXPLOSION!
I like the music inside the nebulas.
Right off the bat, a space station among the vast blue.
Azure Nebula isn't that code for 30 mins leavers penalty because the dam thing is still broken in STO?
The Borg from Star Trek assimilate the K-Lon from the TV show The Orwell?
Maaan, I love me some subtle Rick humor.
A Dhelan warbird is escaping!
I really like the ST: Destiny novels and I wished these novels were made into feature films.
With my head cannon there was a lot of ice in the area and when it went super nova it melted the ice and the H drifted off leaving a lot of O around.
It’s also possible as the star was fusing its way through the periodic table, it got to its oxygen stage when it exploded.
something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue?
SPACE!!!
So that means the Mutara Nebula wouldn't have blocked the Reliant and the Enterprise _from seeing_ each other?
Or the Enterprise-D from the first Borg Cube to attack Earth, when they hid out in a Nebula.
Or the Titan-A from the Strike.
Rick i got a theory like in Chrono Cross both dead sea and sea of eden same place 2 universes one held a conglomeration of destroyed realities all merged together while the other was a future zone of chronopolis ground zero for the Timecrash when the frozen flame overloaded their systems and sent the entire city back 10,000 years but at same time dragged bck dinopolis yet another timelines chronopolis but ruled by reptites, this Nebula has similar properties hence why it could be so young but yet old like a continuous timeloop each time it circles about makes new timelines
Good joke there at the end lol
If Betleguise explodes douring our lifetimes, we will know for sure can you see super nova nebulae with the naked eye.
If it happens, supernova explosion should be bright as the full moon on the nights sky, so if its possible to see its nebula, we will see it xD
...wait, was this all just an excuse for a Karen Gillan reference? :v
🖖
S-type Stars are very oxygen rich.
Is there coffee in it?
No, otherwise Janeway would have already cleared out all the Tholians in it.
First! Thanks for the great content, as always, Ric!
Its Blue Dabba Dee Dabba Die
So much of space is hypothetical and theoretical. And even with the JWST, we only see 16 billion light years. Truely anything is possible out there in the vastness of the universe.
We are lucky we live in a relative young universe, where we can actually still detect and appreciate some of the far off stuff. Due to the increasing expansion rate, this will not be so in the far future.
Nothing is canon.
Oxygen rich nebula would come from wolf raeyet stars which are massive very hot Oxygen stars and that's real
