Over 50k videos with 865k+ unique frames generate this image. The creation process resulted in videos chosen from hashtags spanning the world. #divine, #fireworks, #sicily, #utah, and #groundzero are just a few of the thousands of hashtags encapsulated within Cartwheel. The reference image is of the Cartwheel Galaxy, located 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation, composed of a bright inner ring and an active outer ring. While this outer ring has a lot of star formation, the dusty area in between reveals many stars and star clusters.
