I'm not scared! Not with Butler's relaxed voice tinged with just a touch of awe and admiration. I find these programs both elucidating and meditative--a wonderful combination. Thank you David Butler! (Wow, it's all really BIG, isn't it!)
You'll make a great tour guide across the galaxies, I could listen your voice all day long on the tour while passing through the local galactic group on hyperdrive jump
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.
A Space Rip video claims the entire universe is to the visible universe as the visible universe is to an ATOM. I've read/ seen that comparison other places. That is simply astonishing.
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.
dude this video blew my mind, the universe is so HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my brain cant even process all the information. its ginormous
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.
David Butler, I absolutely love your uploads. I don't understand them like a student of science would, but I really do enjoy them. Every time I watch an upload, whether it is the first or whatever time I've seen one upload, I learn something...and this makes me more fascinated with astronomy. A subject that is pioneered by extraordinary minds, but ordinary minds like myself can appreciate their discovery by minds like yourself. Thank you very much.
Mr. Butler, I have listened to almost all of your series, How Far Away Is It and my interests in Astrophysics, Astronomy has deepened. I thank you for providing one of the best, in-depth analysis on our knowledge of space. Please keep on making videos and updating us on the latest discoveries about space. I am finally understanding how the theories in Physics are applied in Astronomy.
Very well explained, like all the other posts. Classical music goes very well along with the images, kind of reminds me of Fantasia. This is excellent work, thanks for posting.
I dont know what this reality is and why it is so awesome, why it is so vast, so vast it scares every fiber of my body, truly awe inspiring, make me think that one of those galaxies sure does have a planet with life, these videos are better then any planetarium i have ever been to
I'm fascinated with the enormous bigness of the universe and the mind-bugling of the distances. This convinces me that we can never ever leave our solar system. So let us protect our planet not only for been the most beautiful planet, but the only inhabitant planet, and Mr. David Butler his excellent narrator.
One of the things I find so fascinating about other galaxies is that every dense patch of stars or clouds of dust that we can see could very possibly be the defining features of some distant life form’s night sky
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...
Absolutely amazing video! My particular area of interest is cosmology at these scales. I wish we understood the rotation curves and galactic nuclei better, as well as better understanding gravity at these scales. But as of right now, General Relativity seems to be our best approximation. Thanks for uploading! Space is just so awesome!
It's pretty interesting to imagine the Hydra supercluster being 150 million to 200 million light-years away, with the red giant in the line of sight being only 480 light years away. The galaxies are like 400 thousand times further away than that star.
The pictures of the galaxies are pretty great. I’d sure like to see some clearer pictures of the clusters, groups, super-clusters etc. 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.
@M T "If not us, then who?" The possibilities for "who" are potentially limitless. It just so happens humans are the only "who" we're aware of -->right now
Now den Mr Butler Gary power just thought I’d pop my head in an say hello, I live in a hostel in sunny Liverpool right by Liverpool Football Club, I suffer with epilepsy and it’s gotten worse over last two years and I’ve found myself staying in more and more the last 18 months paranoid about fitting in front of ppl, ive been watching loadsa documentaries about the universe and space in general, proper proper boss it is so thanks for doing what you do, I emailed nasa an to my surprise they emailed me back haha
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?
+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.
+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.
What really had me going was at the end... not with the statistics but how that's only SEVEN PERCENT of the observable universe! Please, next time remind us to wear a condom because my mind's pregnant!
Incredible the vast distances of Galaxy's and stars from each other and us, yet from our perspective they are tiny specs of light only millimeters from each other instead of the billions and billions of kilometers in reality.
This was a truly amazing video, shows the true look and meaning of galaxies, and it answered my misconceptions on how to located galaxies and distinguish differences between them. I also mistook some stars for quasars, which I know think to myself as being and idiot for that. ;-)
What amazes me does Hubble Telescope has a capability to zoom-in vast distances of lightyears to take a close-up of these Galaxies? An example NGC4911(320mly)
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!
Typo Report -At 16:55, "APR 127" may mean "ARP 274", another name for NGC 5679 -At 17:35 "ESO325-004" -> "ESO 325-G004" -At 18:06 "Hoags Object" -> "Hoag's Object"
Anyone EVER notice that a flying saucer (nevermind whether you think they are REAL or not) looks like a galaxy? Maybe there is some aspect of physics in this bulge/disk shape inherent in the universe that we don't fully understand. 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. 👍
Wonder if it's possible to get approximate location of where Milky Way is in the universe based on how the other galaxies are moving away and expansion. Maybe we're on an outer edge. We're def not the center of the universe.
Tracy Phillips it will. There are images of what it might look like from our sky. Of course, it will take an inconceivable amount of time and we will all be dead by then, unfortunately.
If universe is 13.8 billion years old, how is it possible we could see a galaxy 46.5 Billion light years away from earth in “observable universe” when light hasn’t reached earth yet?
Good question. The answer comes down to the expansion rate of the Universe. I cover this in detail in the 'How Old Is It" video book on Big Bang Cosmology Fundamentals. Take a look and post a question there if it doesn't explain what you're looking for.
@@truthseeker3857 But isn't time, at its most basic, just a measurement of change? Things most definitely changed before humans existed, so I would argue time existed from the moment the universe came into being -- no matter its mode of creation.
@@truthseeker3857 Oh, and the BBT doesn't soothe anything for me. It sticks in my craw like a sesame seed between the teeth. I just can't get behind the idea that every single atom that exists was crammed into an area smaller than, well, an atom. Sure, it's the best model we have at the moment, but that doesn't mean it's correct. It just means we don't have enough information to KNOW what happened. All we can do is make educated guesses.
David Butler - I was just being tounge-in-cheek :) It's at the beginning of the video, it's at the top left hand corner, and it looks like male anatomy. Love your work btw. Watched all your videos. Thank you.
So if I correctly need to list my address then it should be: Earth, Solar System, Orion Spur, Milky Way, Local Galactic Group, Virgo Supercluster, Centaurus Wall... Anything to add or correct...??? I am missing a name of the filament before the Wall part aren't I...???
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge this way ! May I ask where do you find those stunning very large images ? Do you have any link ? Or is it a DIY assembling ?
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.
David Butler Dear Dave , thank you for replaying to my comment, I took a look again , I’ve seen both parts before but as I mentioned it’s only my lack of knowledge what makes it hard to understand the theory, but still , it’s only a theory and not a law , people like you encourage others to ask questions and try to find the answers to the incógnita. 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 am a thing that is made of Trillions of little living things all working together to create one big thing, that is watching a box that animates an image of the massive universe I am somehow alive in.
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.

It‘s more of billions superclusters and soooooooooooooooooo much and other things
I would've thought it would make it easier to process the information if your brain's ginormous not harder.
Take a bow sir. Noone has ever explained and showed the space the way you are showing us.
A lot of respect for you sir.
Came here to learn about superclusters. Video resulted in strong ASMR and sleep-inducing effects. Not disappointed.
I was wondering who else was here for the ASMR
Fascinating, just fascinating! Anything larger than galaxy clusters is mind-boggling to me. Thank you Mr. Butler for your channel. :)

So if I correctly need to list my address then it should be:
Earth, Solar System, Orion Spur, Milky Way, Local Galactic Group, Virgo Supercluster, Centaurus Wall...
Anything to add or correct...???
I am missing a name of the filament before the Wall part aren't I...???
Your good man except you forgot left side.
@@MountainFisher Left side...???
@@An0nim0u5 just a joke, left side of street
@@MountainFisher LOL
You forgot to list the causality branch # for your multiverse
I'd hate to run out of gas in the middle of a void.
@6:15, every pixel is about 70 to 100 trillion kilometres considering you are playing this video full screen at 1080p resolution
Atoms we are made of have assembles into entities that can somehow ponder there origins
man this fucked me up
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge this way ! May I ask where do you find those stunning very large images ? Do you have any link ? Or is it a DIY assembling ?
+buissonland It is mostly from the Hubble Space telescope.
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.
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.
David Butler Dear Dave , thank you for replaying to my comment, I took a look again , I’ve seen both parts before but as I mentioned it’s only my lack of knowledge what makes it hard to understand the theory, but still , it’s only a theory and not a law , people like you encourage others to ask questions and try to find the answers to the incógnita.
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.
Moonlight sonata is way too somber for a beautiful space video unless that video is about some form of destruction or impending doom. But who am I...
What is the difference between cluster and galaxy?
Scale. A cluster is a collection of galaxies.
supercluster is a group of 1 billion galaxy
we will never visit any other super cluster!
@@edthoreum7625 >will we ever visit the nearest star? (let alone other stars within our own galaxy, or even another galaxy altogether??...
I am a thing that is made of Trillions of little living things all working together to create one big thing, that is watching a box that animates an image of the massive universe I am somehow alive in.
It's Amazing Excellent Video
Get comfortable kids, it's gonna be a long ride. Long, as in never.
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.
Spettacolare e meravigliosa e l astronomia
Which supercluster is bigger shapley or lanieka?
Laniakea
Small... does not come close to how I feel right now
Thank You for the informative video.
