That night sky would keep me up until 2 am
I'm so glad so many people enjoy yours vids, you really deserve all the recognition
Can you imagine living on one of the planets orbiting on one of these stars in the cluster.
More then 10 million stars all so close together not more then 0,1 Ly apart.
That would truly be an amazing site.
I will be creating this site in my game, Omega Mouse.
If we lived in that cluster nobody would sleep...

13:04 Gas Giant: SELFIE TIME!
Wow! This is way cool. I have actually observed Omega Centauri through my telescope from my home in Denver, CO. The cluster rises about 3° above my southern horizon when it reaches the terminator.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MILLION!!
Galaxy looks so beautiful when Anton shows us. Thank you!!!!!!!
0:30 I can see the constellation orion and its winter triangle! :D
anton is the best and he is educational :))))
Im exploring there now, thanks Anton I didn't know about this place.
Also, I love the purple planets as well.
What program is it
That's a wonderful place for space travelling civs, having so many star systems nearby. Very early in their space travel capability, they can already explore and visit many solar neighboring systems! Lucky!
WELL, andromeda isn’t going to be the first galaxy collision! IT WAS THIS ONE!
I can't believe how spherical it is, I wonder if it's actually like that. Pretty cool stuff.
I live at 32 degrees North Latitude and Caldwell 80 or Omega Centauri is visible from early May to July when it goes over the horizon. It never gets high in the sky so clear seeing weather is a must to get a good view. I think above 40 degrees they can't usually see it at all. Most globular clusters are filled with red stars and so s C80, red stars are the majority even though you see other colors.
I know the cool name omega, which is the first letter "A" of the alphabet. I have heard of "Alpha Centauri" solar system before. I never heard before of "Omega Centauri" star cluster.
Cesare Vesdani the first is alpha.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it goes, Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Gamma, Hotel (so on so on), X-Ray, Yankee, Zulu.
🅱 centauri
@@schad1738 That's the NATO phonetic alphabet lol Alpha and Omega are in reference to the Greek alphabet.
Omega was given the astronomical Ω symbol because German cartographer Johann Bayer used Ptolemy's data to find and designate this object "Omega Centauri" Ω being the last letter in the Greek alphabet Alpha Α same as ours being the first letter and same shape. So Bayer was actually the first to call it Omega not Ptolemy, who called it a star on the horse's back. Not until English astronomer Edmond Halley rediscovered this object in 1677 was it called a non-stellar object before Mayer called it Omega. It was first recognized as a globular cluster by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop in 1826, who described it as a "beautiful globe of stars very gradually and moderately compressed to the centre". Since it was the biggest star cluster discovered so far and Ω Omega means Great they left the star designation, but call it the Great Omega Star Cluster of Centauri.
That's a bit of its earthly history.
COOOOOOOOL ! This will be my desktop 'Observatory', hahaha !
Update: unfortunately your other videos don't have this cool feature seen here where a particular area of the vast 'galaxy' can be pointed to show up a bunch of stars at the top panel any of which can be brought forward enlarged to see its detail even with orbiting moons.
Great video Mr. Anton! Can you please tell us what software is it?
Can I ask you your graphics setup Anton?
that omega bastard wanted to steal our galaxy's stars!!!
Lol 🤣
I hope one day to return home to Omega Centauri.
2:58 Living in there would be like having a billion suns shining all at once, regardless of the time of day.
Ceres is stronk!
no anton is stronk
no nebula's are stronk
:(
No, Russia is stronk
Pluto is a stronk planet
Anton petrov my mom likes your chanel because it is very educational.
what kind of name is shameka
video idea: how we could terraform a gas giant?
Ryan Crane we dont know what's under those thick clouds, if there is land or just gas.
there is no land on gas giants. hence the name "gas" the further in you go the higher the pressure gets.
Not land like we know it. The core of gas giants is gas that is so dense that it got pressure frozen, so it might be a very dense type of ice called ice VII.
There have been recent studies on the inner parts of Jupiter, it's very likely it is a mixture of layers of liquid metal hydrogen and helium.
Pmbayliss I think Ice VII is in other gas giants but either way, it still has a solid core in its center (metallic hydrogen)
Black holes are tiny because they one plank length.They are terrifying.Don,t worry about them because we won,t live at the time it crush us.
12:40 'This is just a rock, this is not fun.' - Anton
Love listening to you Anton
Quick question, which version of space engine are you using anyways?
I assume it's 0.980 but not sure
what app is this that you are using? it is amazing
i see this cluster in the sky beatiful
Video suggestion: what if Earth had rings?
the night sky would be verey bright from the rings being a lot closer than the moon and reflecting a lot of light and astronomers would somehow move to the moon
NoNameJames Astronomers are people that study stars. Get your facts right.
Eduard G
NoNameJames knows that >.<
He is saying Astronomers would need to go to the moon, because the rings would make night so bright, so we wont be able to observe very well because we need darkness to observe space (:
Cobra He could've mentioned that, then.
meh, he didnt need to, i was here to do it for him (:
wait what app is that i need it
milky way: oh hello there omega centauri
omega centauri: what
milky way: I hate you your just a dwarf galaxy
omega centauri: what
milky way: you are gonna be part of me
omega centauri: noooooooooooooo
milky way: get over here
omega centauri nooooooooooo
Damn. Sounds like a prison story
Milky way be like: "Get in mah belleh!"
Hmmm, omega centauri, the universes disco lights.
Purple may indicate plants because of retinal
What program do you use and how much is it?
Science and video games combined, yes give me more
Turns out is is a dwarf galaxy…. Swallowed up by the Milky Way. With an intermediate mass black hole.
Suggestion for a space simulator similar to this for iPad?
11:30 Planet has life? that is a giant leap of science. I don't think we can assume that.
Hi, how did you get the new graphics in SE? They look really awesome.
I like astronomy a lot thanks Anton for teaching me :D
How can you zoom and change magnitude limit :O
i only know the zoom. To zoom in its the page up key and page down to zoom out! I hope you enjoyed youre help!
Great video. Keep up the good work 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The purple planet looks like purple Jupiter
how do you make the game so beautiful? graphics settings pls
Thanks
Can you please show what you using
Here because of the upcoming Exodus game 😁
How do u view the space like that?like what website u use?
what is this application you are using, it's extremely interesting
This is an old vid lol,The name is *Universe Sanbox 2*
@@HeitorFelismino It is actually SpaceEngine, Universe Sandbox 2 is different
hello Anton, can you please make a video showing why a black hole with less mass than a very massive star will eat it anyway? thanks
omega centauri is one of the largest clusters of all time hundreds of thousands of light years across
The milky way is 100k light years wide 💀 omega cen is 157 ly wide i think
he often says that stars in Space Engine are procedurally generated which is kinda disappointing. even Celestia that's almost an abandoned software for 7 years now has them all in the right place and catalogued!
objects which are known are all in the right place. all the rest are procedurally generated d
So is it inside the milky way or not?
What is it? Is this a website? Or any app? Or anything else?
Idk actually. Can i get this too?
Space Engine
What is he using to see the planets
What software are you using?
Is this some kind of app or what is this ???
What kind of program is he using
video suggestion: what of earth had the amount of moons of the other planets in our solar system?
Restless gamer all those moos wouldn't fit. About 20 could fit but the rest couldnt because the earth doesnt have a large enough gravitational sphere
So it's basically like a dwarf planet that was eaten by a gas giant
What mods and settings do you use?
What is the name of that program ? 😊
What software do you use
What program does he use
Shepard aproved XD
So, where’s the video on Kapteyn’s star?
Woah! Thats cool!
i have poor hearing and anton is usually very difficult to follow. but seven years ago apparently he sounded like this, which is quite easy for me to understand. what happened? i always assumed that he never switched out his native russian phonemes when he learned english, but it's something else. english language is a broad tent and i don't fault anybody for having an unusual version. i also remember being a lot younger and having no problem with heavy accents ... but there must be other people who think his posts sound like an mp3 that lost half its bits. anton is practically the only astrophysics presenter i follow and i live in hope that he might remodel his speech. fwiw globular clusters are my favorite astronomical objects
nice program>>>what its name ?
What are you using for this
I enjoy your videos. I thought there were no green stars. But there is one in this video at frame 2:52. Are you able to explore its source?
Ik I'm 3 yrs late but it's a nebula. Alot of nebulae appear as smudged dots in space engine
What program are you using? Real cool!
Space engine (Not free and not in phones)
Why are us not part of a cluster of stars?
1+2 equals THAT THING OH MY
12:54 the gas giant with rings looks like saturn
HOOOOOOW did people manage to find out what's inside of Omega Cent...??? I mean this is so far away! How???
Alex Meles Hubble Space Telescope. It can zoom to the edge of the universe i think
How much time did it take to make this game?
What game/program are you using?
🔥🧲and be honored
13:13 looks like Jupiter with some purple. If the purple was removed, SECOND JUPITER?
Early and I randomly found this video.
what is the black hole name
only if we had this type of tech then we would know the ENTIRE Universe
Simulation distance 93 billion ly
Which tool you are using?
space engine
did it die due to galactic quench?
what if the moon exploded (orbiting earth)
awsome vids!
What app is that, that ur using
Space Engine
What program are you using to do this?
jay louis Space Engine
But is the sagittarius A* cluster bigger than omega centauri?
No. Alpha or A in Greek, unusually still the same even in modern Cyrillic, is used to refer to the "first", or "primary", or "principal".
Omega Ω doesn't mean last it means Great, hence the Great Omega Star Cluster, it retains its Greek star letter although it is not a star.
When used as star designations usually the brightest star is given A and then so on down the 22 letter alphabet, but not always. But Omega or NGC 5139, Caldwell 80 or C80 is a dim star with a 5.31 to 5.68 apparent magnitude. It isn't easy to see by the naked eye so Ptolemy called it a star on the horse's back. It was Johann Mayer who first designated it Omega Centauri based off his primitive telescope he could tell it was big and the most luminescent in the 17th century.
How your zoom in and out on space engine??
page up and page down. Press home to return to original spot.
What is app i need it
Space Engine
Dude your friggin awesome
can you give me the name of that ringed planet here 11:23? yea can someone go to that system and go the the ringed planet and give me the name? plz?
why the name centauri?
محمد زيدان it's probably found in the constellation Centaurus.
AMAZING
Anton I want more vids with the biggest stars, Scuti and others 👍👍
