Hey Greg, space isn’t actually as colorful as it seems in photos, the colors come from different types of gasses that glow because the stars heat them up and every color corresponds to a different gas, but the colors are actually very dim, on their own even in large telescopes the brightness of most nebulas is too dim to trigger the color receptors in our eyes. Long exposure photography is required to see the colors. Love your videos btw 🩷
That is actually so freaky. I’ve always found a little tiny bit of comfort at least seeing space photos with all these pretty colors, but knowing it’s actually way more dim has ruined that thought for me lmao.
A lot of it is also different wavelengths (invisible), captured with a special sensor and converted into visible colors. Like X-rays, they're not visible to the naked eye.
About the image with the giant monster eating a galaxy... i dont think it would be over in a second, i think it is more likely that it would take many hundreds of thousands of years (probably even millions of years), considering it's body would (at least in theory) still be limited by the speed of light. I think if something like that were to happen, we would be able to see it many hundreds and thousands of years before it happens... and i honestly think that would make it so much scarier, because its just on such a scale that we could do nothing about it, and even if we see it, we could not escape, since we are also limited by the speed of light, so the moment we see it will have been too late for us to even imagine any form of escape.
if it moved close to the speed of light it would be over really fast no? at least from our perspective, for the monster it would still be excruciatingly slow
@@kiituriii think it would be the other way around, the monster would be used to moving at that speed. since light is also limited by the speed of light tho we wouldn't see it until we'd been eaten
@@very_not_emo yeah I got it backwards, for the monster it would be over very fast because time moves differently close to the speed of light, but for us it'd take a bit for it to reach us, it's so big that we'd probably first see it many many lightyears away, and depending on how close to the speed of light it was moving, there would be a not so long buffer period
If I stare at the moon for more than 20 seconds, it appears to get closer. It freaks me out for about 5 seconds and I have to look away. But after 5 seconds, I stare at it again to make sure it isn't actually moving. And the cycle goes on and on.
@@dingusprime64 I'd say space is equally as scary as water, tbh. Both are horrifying, all-consuming voids that have seemingly no end, completely bottomless, dark, suffocating and lonely and we'd die either way, having our organs die out and being crushed from all sides, due to lack of oxygen and the amount of pressure or ya know, something big hits us and tears us asunder.
I could watching hours of this, I don’t know why by space content comforts me so much, especially at night. It’s almost like the incomprehensible existentialism is reassuring.
For me it certainly keeps my ego in check. Like I’ll be Star gazing and just start thinking, all my problems are pretty damn meaningless in the vastness of the universe
@@legolokicars5820 yep exactly, growing up I lived in a super small “cow town” and my friends hated it there but I absolutely loved it. It’s much bigger now, but at the time there was such little light pollution and I spent many hours looking up at the sky at night. It’s comforting!
Some astronauts said that when you see space outside of Earth that it changes you and your perspective. I do hope to be able to go outer space but yes that Sandra Bullock recent space movie made me really scared of the thought of being out there.
Long exposure goggles do exist, they're called military grade night vision goggles. They multiply the brightness of light, allowing full veiw of the milky way even though thats obviously not what they were made for
Idk if you’ll see this but my nightly routine consists of turning your vids on, making hot cheeto Mac and cheese with ground beef and then sitting in bed to watch your vids to sleep. Genuinely my fav content creator out there. Your humor, personality, interests line straight up with what I wish we had more of on this media. I’d love to see more liminal, space, astrophobia, weird core and dream core vids! My absolute faves. But all of them are bangers. Do you have a patron? I’d love to support you!
The distance from the couch to kitchen feels too far for me sometimes so I just order food. So yeah, no, can’t really fathom how far away the nearest galaxy to ours is.
I'm honestly very fascinated by space (And the ocean), It's just vast emptyness with a bunch of balls of random materials that our species might eventually explore.
Kurzgesagt has by far the best video I've seen that does scale really well. The video title "the largest black hole in the universe" makes you be able to barely fathom how insanely tiny we are
There's a game called Megaton Rainfall where you can fly at superluminal speeds without a ship through a procedurally generated universe with planets and galaxies and stars. Flying through the emptiness of space gives me an undefinable unease and sense of loneliness, especially coming upon black holes. Like I know I'm not supposed to be there.
as someone with astrophobia (i think?) for me, i love space. ever since i was like 2 i wanted to learn about space, and i still do! but looking at photos of space, mostly photos of jupiter, saturn. neptune, and even earth, i just feel fear looking at them. i do try to play vr space games to help with it and it has worked a bit, but astrophobia wont go away :(
Honestly what scares me for some strange reason is things like: zooming in quickly on the earth in google earth or in no mans sky flying quickly towards a planet. Something about that small globe in the distance becoming so massive is terrifying to me XD
The light amplification goggles you are talking about are exactly what military grade night vision goggles are! They are amazing. Veritasium made a great video about this very recently.
The only thing I fear alone from space is the black hole like there is literally nothing in there that terrifies me a lot, I can’t even look into it without looking away in 2 secs even through a picture.💀
i have this irrational fear that gravity will stop and nothing will tether me to the ground and its worse when im driving down the country to my friends and theres nothing but fields and the stars and i have panic attacks lol
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker im so sorry to give you my burdens but it is ToT i adore looking at the stars and im obsessed w space but recently i started to panic when i would LOL. (also the mcdonalds dehya (deyha?) pfp is so cute)
We used to be able to walk around at night and see those stars. Light pollution bums me out so much its unreal. The chance to see all those stars might be the only thing that could get me out to the middle of the ocean, but id rather go out to the desert.
12:38 Actually it is possible with a type of night vision goggles. Veritasium posted a video shortly before this video about night vision goggles, and it's super cool.
I was playing a free space game and I was on the iss and I threw myself into space so I was just hurtling though space watching earth get smaller and I kept panicking and that’s how I got astrophobia
Yay! You're doing one of my phobias! It's not so much the size of the celestial objects it's the idea of the vacuous void... & getting sucked into it... I regularly dream about my spaceship being destroyed & free floating in space, trying to make a jump to Earth, but missing & continuing on out to a place I have dubbed "infinity". I ALWAYS end up there. It is a TERRIFYING place & difficult to describe, despite being able to picture it perfectly as I write this...
At 4:50, that blue ghost looks like a swan to me. PS if you haven't seen pictures of Pluto, you should, it's absolutely beautiful! It maybe a dwarf planet, but it has the biggest heart.
Ngl I love space, idrk why but I always love stuff people usually are afraid of like liminal spaces. I have no idea what it is about those kinda things but it just makes me feel comfortable, especially thalassophobia and astrophobia pictures always just give me a weird dose of happiness. I also love the Mariana Trench, like it’s just so awesome and comforting that *anything* could be down there.. I’m built different-
When i look into space i dont feel fear, i feel the urge to explore, imagine the majestic aquatic life on oceanic planets like k2 18b or kepler 69c and imagine the lush red forests and plains of kepler 186f and proxima centauri b, gosh i wish i could hop onto a space ship and set sail into the great unknown
With that banana one I actually had a dream as a kid of celestial sized fruit of varying size floating all around the galaxy and I would just stare out into space froma window in the little space ship I was in with a couple of other dream buddies and be at awe. I even wrote a cringey summary of my events at school to show to other students >->' So thanks to Greg I can now reminisce about past space dreams and thoughts. I like space it's exciting... kinda.
I think space is too cool for me to think it's scary😂 I'm more in awe than scared of stars and planets. I love your videos though, they're so much fun to watch😊❤️
Weird thought about the picture of the monster sucking up the galaxy, it's possible that that already happened, and that we were already sucked up by a giant cosmic being but since it's so large the inside would essentially be no different than space itself so everything just continues as normal. And then a larger space beast comes and sucks up that one.
only like 2 weeks ago watched interstellar properly and man that movie is unironically one of the best movies I've ever seen, it looks so sick, the science is very realistic and man is it actually emotional, going in I would never have expected to cry but I did at least twice
It’s not the still pictures that get me it’s the edited videos of planets in our atmosphere that aren’t normally, or in place of the moon, or slowly moving towards us and hitting us.
I freak out about visual noise so I greatly appreciate the vast emptiness of space. I think astrophoboia is like agoraphobia, but magnified. My personal hell is when the aisles in stores are so congested you can't get through like I have a gnarly version of claustrophobia. Small spaces in general don't bother me, but stuff crowding me and f caving.
I'm usually not scared of space but rather fascinated and enamoured, but when I was a kid we had this children's book about natural sciences. It had this picture of Saturn floating in a gigantic hypothetical ocean, showing how it's desity is lower than water. Knowing how big saturn it, this picture somehow always deeply unsettled me. It's hard for me to explain why, it wasn't even dark or anything
The closest thing to "long exposure goggles" out there would probably be just standard image intensifier tube night vision. Between 30,000 and 50,000 times light amplification in real time on modern Gen 3 tubes. I have actually heard that looking up at the night sky with nods on is pretty wild.
if you think about it space is almost like the opposite of underwater spookiness though. i mean its got its own brand of massive spookiness but like... if a shark were swimming at you in space, you could just be like " oh look at that little dot thousands of miles away. eventually it will get closer but by then i'll be hitting the thrusters in my cool space ship. that shark will never get close enough for me to freak out." it could never just suddenly come out of the murk at you like it does underwater in the murky black depths ...
Now I'm trying really hard to wrap my head around the physics of a being of that size and realizing how futile it may be. If the speed of light is the limiting factor, how can this apply to the beast itself? How could a monster that large NOT move faster than the speed of light? But if this does limit how fast the galaxy could be inhaled, wouldn't that mean that if he were inhaling the milky way, which is around 100,000 lightyears in diameter, that it would then take 100,000 years to inhale the entire galaxy? And what would that even look like from earth? This is both fascinating and terrifying to try to comprehend.
8:26 that is indeed audio from another video, prob the most amazing explosion video out there (Tianjin explosion) and funny at the same time because of their reactions, jsayin;) You should do a reaction video of all the different views from Tianjin starting with the one with this audio, it's amazing! ps. new sub by the way, enjoying your reaction videos and space themed as well
The most unnerving thing I've learned about the gas giants, Saturn and Jupiter both, is that their extremely powerful magnetic fields are constantly casting off harmful radiation into space. In fact, if you were able to stand on the surface of Jupiter's closest Galilean moon, Io, you would be cooked to death by its parent planet's malevolent gaze in a matter of a few hours - if Io's hadean landscape of volcanoes didn't do the job first. Your body would boil and melt at all points throughout, slowly expanding to the point of bursting like a hot dog left too long in a microwave. And this is commonplace, it is the norm for such planets and their orbiting children. Our fragile, squishy forms were not meant to leave our gentle home and the cosmos reminds us of this at every opportunity.
You could totally make those Googles. You'd just a bunch of cameras at around eye level multiplying the amount of light coming to your eyes in real time. Easy Peasy. You could also do it with one 360 camera that's constantly filming in all directions, so when you turn to face a certain direction, it overlays the footage its from any given perspective as multiplication frames. The longer you stood in one place, the more intense the effect would be.
I realize that my specific flavor of astrophobia is NOTHING without "the void". I hate looking at stock images of singular planets, because the black negative space surrounding them IS REAL SPACE. Photography of stars doesn't freak me out, but standing in a large clear area on a clear night and seeing *exactly* how far the stars are from our sky do! The first time I was in an area without light pollution and saw nearly an entire GALAXY up in the sky made me freak out enough to hide behind my mom at night during a road trip.
tbh i think space will be less terrifying if you make the stars or the galaxies visible and the gases and the milky way visible too instead of just looking like a pitch black void
Btw for anyone knows the pillars of creation in space if you look at the full image it looks like a hand is that just me It's kinda creepy and veeery coiceidental....
Happy Birthday!!!! I'm so happy your back. I have a liminal space in my neighborhood, it's creepy lol. How can I send it to you?? Also Happy Halloween 👻🎃
Dude I had multiple dreams about a freaking massive black hole and I thought it was literally the end of everything. I’ve had may dreams about everything in the past and mostly it’s my fears I guess
2:47 At that scale, humanity might go extinct before the jaws close on our Solar System (I certainly would be dead by then), so I'm not super worried personally.

Yes, like how the Sun is actually white or while Venus Atmosphere is well, just Light Gray
yeah and I've heard that Mars isn't red at all. it's just a slight, greyish pink
Yep, true real space is literally a black void - interstellar space at least -. It's really scary and morbid in a kind of way
That is actually so freaky. I’ve always found a little tiny bit of comfort at least seeing space photos with all these pretty colors, but knowing it’s actually way more dim has ruined that thought for me lmao.

We could be seeing it a million miles away while its actively eating our galaxy. We wouldn't even notice it the monster would be that quick

The concept of long-exposure goggles isn't actually that impossible.
Expect it to be VERY expensive. And much more head-ache inducing then VR.

I'm not a scientist either, but I'm pretty sure if we were that close to Saturn its gravity would literally tear the Earth apart and kill us all.
Would love for you to watch the videos of how the Planets and Moons sound.
They are some wild sounds. Same with some of the crazy sounds they've recorded from the ocean

You could also do it with one 360 camera that's constantly filming in all directions, so when you turn to face a certain direction, it overlays the footage its from any given perspective as multiplication frames. The longer you stood in one place, the more intense the effect would be.
our sun wont go supernova which calms me down a bit
I realize that my specific flavor of astrophobia is NOTHING without "the void". I hate looking at stock images of singular planets, because the black negative space surrounding them IS REAL SPACE. Photography of stars doesn't freak me out, but standing in a large clear area on a clear night and seeing *exactly* how far the stars are from our sky do! The first time I was in an area without light pollution and saw nearly an entire GALAXY up in the sky made me freak out enough to hide behind my mom at night during a road trip.
The colors in a nebula are due to different gasses, materials, and tempatures.
tbh i think space will be less terrifying if you make the stars or the galaxies visible and the gases and the milky way visible too instead of just looking like a pitch black void
13:07 its actually a Whirlpool Galaxy
Space scares me.
The metal in your lungs part so funny but the picture was super cool
14:54 "This looks more a render than a real image." That awkward moment when you gaslight yourself.
welcome back, Greg. hope you're doing good!
Re: galaxy eating monster, I would do nothing. Assuming an upper bite speed of light, we'll be long dead before the galactic bite.
There's another youtuber whose channel is called parasyke tv and he could seriously be your twin. I love your channel by the way .
You didn't wave, so I had to stand up when you stood up.
Veritasium just did a video on night vision. And they show that you can see the nightsky really good with it.
Btw for anyone knows the pillars of creation in space if you look at the full image it looks like a hand is that just me
It's kinda creepy and veeery coiceidental....
Missed you Greg bro dude man
3:28 maybe a space monster is eating our galaxy but it’s taking a whike
Happy Birthday!!!! I'm so happy your back. I have a liminal space in my neighborhood, it's creepy lol. How can I send it to you?? Also Happy Halloween 👻🎃
Dude I had multiple dreams about a freaking massive black hole and I thought it was literally the end of everything. I’ve had may dreams about everything in the past and mostly it’s my fears I guess
Happy birthday day, Dudebro
I think you should try reacting to some analog horror series
yes
12:39, long exposure goggles that amplify the light - You mean like..... night vision goggles? 😂
If you look at the last photo with the super nova, it looks like a face for the side. Woooaa
Happy belated birthday Greg!
If you think about it, empty space is like the ocean of the universe
Was thinking the same thing. In a way thinking of being stranded in the middle of the ocean and stranded in space produce very similar fear🫣
2:47 At that scale, humanity might go extinct before the jaws close on our Solar System (I certainly would be dead by then), so I'm not super worried personally.
