    As someone with a passion of astronomy, thank you. There are many channels on youtube covering our cosmos, many are good, but yours is in a different league. The presentation, the music, the tempo, the stunning pictures, smooth panning and and step by step presentations that build on the prior ones - wow. You are all class Sir!
    The scale of our universe is simply staggering. I've known it from a theoretical perspective, but your videos have imparted a sense of vastness that is simply mind boggling and humbling. Thanks to you I have joined our local astronomy club and am getting a 10 inch telescope. I hope to spot Sirius B someday.

    Wow, that was actually very profound. After watching this, it hit me. We can "see" darn near our entire(visible) universe. That's amazing.....Wow, weird feeling I just had. David Butler sir, I thank you for putting out these videos. And you do it with such class. I love the classical music and you make it easy for me to understand and you keep me interested. I'm just a 30 something y/o mom who loves space science. I have been watching your videos for a good while now and iv always been stumped by the fact that you don't get enough recognition for the hard work and obvious passion you put in your video's. Anyhow, I think your lovely. This is just my opinion and my experience but I have yet to come across another channel(in this genre) that does it better and does it quite the way you do and for that I say thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👌

      The mind blowing thing now....is that they are saying that we can only see a small percentage of what is actually out there in our "universe".....and that there are possibly more than 2 trillion galaxies. I put quotations around that word because I wonder if we will ever truly know the extent of everything in existence.
      I agree with you about Mr Butler's videos. They have expanded my knowledge so much. Excellent to be played laying on your back on a cold clear night....while out in dark skies.

    This map shows 7% of the entire visible universe. So there is 14 times 100 super clusters which makes it 1400; 240,000 galaxy groups x 14= 3 360 000; 3 million large galaxies x 14=42 million; 60 million dwarf galaxies x 14=840 million; 230,000 trillion stars x 14=3 220 000 trillion. There has got to be intelligent life somewhere.

    Thank you for these videos. I have enjoyed them thoroughly. However, you should consider doing an April Fools video on the Bootes Void. Just play some pleasant classical music and show nothing but black screens, carefully describing the utter nothingness shown. "Let's take a look at this fascinating darkness: bleak and beckoning us to hopelessness. Two million light years away is this patch of zilch, a marvel of inky magnificence. Here we're coming up on this heaping helping of Stygian nullity: nobody's winning a Nobel describing this span of murk. Four million light years to the upper right, we can swoon with sheer ecstasy as we're greeted by my two favorite cosmic formations: zip and nada."... etc...

    The pictures of the galaxies are pretty great.

    Perhaps it is hard to do this. But it would be nice to see more clearly where the various galaxies are that are shown.
    Maybe drawings if photos aren’t easy to come by.

    Hi, I have a few questions about PISCES CETUS SUPERCLUSTER COMPLEX. What is the largest supercluster? How far away can we see dwarf galaxies before they get too small to see? How far away can we see globular clusters? Is the Virgo cluster and our local group headed towards the Great Attractor, and what is it made of? When will we get there? If all galaxies in Lanieka Supercluster are attracted there, will all galaxies in this supercluster converge into one?

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  8 років тому

      +Jatatan Globustead Good questions as usual. I think you can judge the distance limits from the ranges identified in the cosmic distance ladder. I don't think movement such as the Great Attractor mean all the galaxies merge. But I don't know for sure.

    • @jatatanglobustead3963
      @jatatanglobustead3963 8 років тому +1

      +David Butler Thanks for the reply. There are cluster collisions that form really massive clusters. This might occur in our case. These collisions are different than galaxy collisions. Stars rarely collide in galaxy collisions. However, in cluster collisions, galaxies collide about 50% of the time. This is because stars are smaller than the distances between them by many orders of magnitude, while galaxies are larger compared with the distances between them.

    imagine if the bosses of the universe lived a few clusters away and were just about to begin mapping our region next ,and than we were we thrust into this huge trans-clusteral society that knows about trillions of areas which are all interconnected through relays of communicating worlds. And they had a shared grid of portals that connected extremely far places which were used like highways ..we could probably never even imagine the planets and scenery in say..the centaurus supercluster or somewhere like that. Millions of years ago on some random planet out there is history and stories that are so different from our own that we couldn't even conceive of the concepts.. and most likely in our own galaxy as well!

Obviously, a flying saucer would be artificial, but, by its shape, appears to be outfitted to some fundamental aspect of creation; the same WAY we outfit our craft to be suited to whichever medium it's WITHIN, i.e. a submarine.

    The size is overwelming. Dident know that the GA was inside the known universe. Is'nt gravity time and a force constant? It could just be a nothing or dark matter that pulls. Anyway Great work. 👍

The way people are in the world today I really can't see us even doing that introduction right. Hell we can't seem to settle petty differences and work as one as a species. Wars, people starving and all most do is turn a blind eye. That includes our world leaders.

    11:50 So is the Great Attractor strong enough to keep all these local superclusters gravitationally bound? Because other videos suggest that only our Local Group is gravitationally bound and in the far far future everything else will be out of sight never to be seen again because of Dark Energy.

    • @Charlesincharge42
      @Charlesincharge42 6 років тому +1

      That depends upon lots of variables, including whether or not red shifted light is being correctly interpreted as actual motion. This may sound crazy on the surface, but other theories explain and predict the observed data much better.
      This one interpretation of red shifted light is the main tenet for the BB theory, which is very very broken and should have been tossed out decades ago. IMO the biggest flaw by far is that it is the grossest possible violation of conservation of matter/energy.
      The red shifted light from distant galaxies is still a great way of measuring huge distances, in all the alternate theories I have looked at. You can search for 'biggest holes in the big bang theory' and you will find lots of articles which list reasons the BB is broken, in fact any single one of the top 10 is reason enough to scrap it. Dark energy and dark matter were made up in the most unscientific way to try to band aid an incredibly broken and outdated big bang theory, they are basically fairy tales that were posited in a way that can't be proved or disproved.
      So, long story short, other super clusters will not be moving out of our sight. The theory I currently find fits available data best is called Sub Quantum Kinetics, and was published in the 80s. SQK is so rigorous that when you have objects over a certain mass you don't get "the laws of physics completely break down", that means no black holes. Rather you get very compact objects that are just as difficult to directly observe. FYI so called 'black holes' have never been directly observed, just the indirect effects of their gravitational fields on other objects or material, which from that perspective are indistinguishable from what the author of SQK labels 'mother stars'.

    I think the Big Bang theory needs a good revision, the more we know the less we or at least I don’t understand about it.
    I just can’t believe that exactly fourteen billion years it was all emptiness and nothing exists, it’s unthinkable.

    • @howfarawayisit

      The Big Bang theory doesn't start with emptiness. Take a look at the two part 'How Old Is It' segments on the subject an let me know what you think.

      Please keep enlightening me and many others with your videos, these two are the hardest to understand , all the others are fantastic in every detail.

    I'd think that the Great Attractor is just the center of mass of all the galaxies + dark matter, the gravitational average point. Like when two stars in a binary system orbit around each other, they orbit around a shared center that is essentially like the average mass of the two stars.
