Pseudo trash absolute garbage . You reject every notion that not all us are complete idiots who can not question your absurd stupidity you pass off as a scientific study of your dumb ass limited construct you make out to be reality .
@@eclipse369. You sound intimidated. Just because she is passionate and studies something incredibly difficult, that you have no knowledge of, does not make her “ego too much”.
Fascinating watching not only the movement of stars, but also the evolution of technology that allows us to gain a better perspective on the universe. Galileo would be proud.
None of all you specialists in Physics, Math, Engineering, Mechanics, Chemists, etc, etc, etc, could have done this alone. It is the TEAM which makes this all possible. Sincerely Yours, a team member!
Fascinating. As a 65 year old, I'm astonished at all advances in science, since I was young. Fascinating again, to speculate, what will be, in another 40 years! Love this presentation.
The most incredible fact showcased here for me is this...I can now visualize with absolute astonishment the 37,000 light year distance between the large and small Magellanic clouds. And they look so close.
Because nobody cares about Education, society is in ignorance of the factual truths and is developing an intellect in following fake-drama. Bad time for Education in the world.
The same reason why you are talking with your husband about the weather, how kids do at school or about the new neighbors. And not about Astrophysics... Btw. I despise scientists whose first sentence during a lecture is "Are you all exited?" and who wear more jewelry then the Kardashians on the red carpet.
I keep coming back her - such a delight. The visual information is amazing - the presenter's vibe is so pleasant, so powerful. It's a joy - one of the best videos in the UA-cam video library.
@@lbpiercy It would be nice if someone occasionally answered any questions at all, though. ;-) I agree with you: the risk is that, missing good questions or answers, we assume that the questions we have matter and the answers given to them are correct.
@@lbpiercy "History shows science declares answers that are often later proven wrong." Uhu, and the thing that proves them wrong is more science, you fuckwit. Science, when it turns out to have been mistaken, will learn from its mistakes and build a new model that better fits the data we have. Religion just shuts its eyes and ears and screams "NAHNAHNAHNAH, CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
Really? You envy them? Of what? Polluted and toxic planet? Thanks but no thanks. Think Fallout not Star trek. Toxic soil, polluted oceans, dirty rivers. Clean water will be more valuable than gold. Planet earth will be a wasteland in 200 years or sooner.
WOW, she is pure passion about this subject. For someone who knows nothing, or at least very, little, I'm now totally hooked after listening to her and have booked up for a night at the planetarium near Kielder, England. She has as much energy as the universe lol. Loved it.
Thank god for youtube... did i just say that? lol But really, there are so many gems of up to date talks from scientists that we would never be privy to otherwise. The next best thing to hanging out with them.
@@godschild5587 God is probably very unhappy because you doubt HIS CAPACITY OF CREATING A GIANT UNIVERSE. You should be ashamed of trying to diminsh HIS WORK with this continuous effort,so you could feel special and important. At the moment ,you are NOT acting like a God´s child. You are acting like a VERY IGNORANT CHILD,ignoring God and His creation. The importance of people is not measured by the size of their body in the universe or the size of the universe around humans.The importance of people is measured by the capacity of accepting and recognizing how great is the Creator and His Creation. The Universe is Immense and His creator moves all over its extension. Deal with it.
I've presented to Aerospace companies for 20 years, in my former Metrology career... this Lady is one of the best presenters i've seen. Super impressive technology.
Wow, there are a lot of mean-spirited critiques here. Where's the childlike wonder that this technology deserves? It's fantastic technology. Thank you Jackie Faherty for your high-spirited presentation,
@Don Pelton, I agree, so many haters here. I enjoyed the hell out of this presentation, I'm over 60 but her enthusiasm made me feel like a kid again. These bozos are yawning and whining but I'm wishing it was 2 hours longer.
Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty gave a spectacular presentation. I love when these show up online, more and more cutting edge science is being done every day! Jackie's project on the Brown Dwarf plants is also connected with Galaxy Zoo! Sure didn't realize that until I looked up her link online and found it connecting up my Galaxy Zoo acc. Sure wish those images were a little bit more beautiful. It's such a bummer, I miss all the exciting new images! Good Luck with your Brown Dwarf planet search Miss Jackie! Thank you for the wonderful presentation. 😍
Astronomy is so fascinating. The passion in her voice is pure and authentic. Wished I would have been more intuned when I was in school. Kudos to you young lady.
This woman is passionate about her subject matter, she knows her stuff and she breaks really complex theories into plain English so that shmucks like me can understand. Really enjoyed her presentation!!
@Jerome Walker Habit mostly. Plus comments on channels like, ChessNetwork, Numberphile, and PBS Space Time, among a few others are generally better than the normal noise.
WOW!! she is fantastic, wish I had a teacher with her interest in Science back in the day, when we hadn't even landed on the Moon with a surveyor space craft... Even up to the Apollo landing... teachers in high school were like robots themselves just doling out information... I hope there are more like her, who know how to turn kids on to STEM subjects... Even if there are few jobs, with knowledge comes power.... My parents believed in having a well rounded education, and they tried their best to get us involved intellectually with the science discoveries of the 50's and 60's which helped with the explosion of information and technologies that has happened since, and powers my interest to this day about the future... without that, I'd be another 70+ senior, sitting in a nursing home, waiting to peg out... Remember that as you teach your kids and others... you are helping them to navigate through life's technical and social changes, not just supplying them with the tools to earn a living...
65 year old man here; I wish I was being born tomorrow to see what great 'stuff' Jackie Faherty discovers!! Happy to have enjoyed the Museum of Natural History for many years.

This is absolutely fantastic work by Jackie Faherty! ... So proud that my ancestor Collis P Huntington was a founder of the American Museum of Natural History and funded the Huntington Expeditions ... I worked with the evolutionary microbiologist Dr. Lynn Margulis who co-wrote the Gaia Hypothesis [Margulis was also married to astrophysicist Carl Sagan] and I later pioneered augmented reality and photographed NASA's Orion Journey to Mars First Test Launch at the Kennedy Cape Canaveral through Google Glass ... This is SO COOL! ... amazing use of technology! ... We are star stuff! #Gaia #GaiaHypothesis #DataVisualization #MappingtheGalaxy
I was a bit familiar with the Gaia mission but not with Margulis' Gaia Hypo until I saw your post and investigated. After watching a thorough 10 part series "Voyage of the Continents" for many weeks at bedtime recently, I kind of drew the same conclusion of the hypothesis: It's as Earth is a living organism closely tied and evolving alongside what we deem life. Whether this is just a probable roll of the dice or intentional, well that is a whole 'nother topic :D Love your enthusiasm! Highly recommend that series.
looks like you are very proud? Pride is foolish. Downvoted. PS I like scientists, but I cannot comprehend PRIDE. I think it's some sort of illness. I would have understood if you had written 'it's so pleasant, I feel that my actions are so important for the humanity, and touching this well fills me with joy, and my fountain sparkles!'. I'll downvote any pride-filled turkey-cock.
Third time I've watched this because it's captivating and beautifully presented by a brilliant and energetic astrophysicist. Every time we go to NYC we make sure we go to the MNH and buy tickets to the Hayden Planetarium...we've never been disappointed.
So with Gaia's data we can plot the distance and trajectories of stars and place each one where it SHOULD be in time without time delay caused by distance and the speed of light. For example Proxima Centauri is the closest star to Sol, but we see it 4.3 years behind where it is actually located in space due to the light speed time delay of 4.3 years. Now we can show exactly where it is in its orbit of Alpha Centauri A and B binary system as well as exactly where those two stars are in their binary orbits around each other. So we can remove the time delay of what we see in the night sky and where these and other stars are really located in the Milky Way. That will siginificantly help in persuing 1/5 or 1/10 speed of light travel to out nearest stellar neighbors for navigating to them correctly.
Pup314 Thanks for your thoughts. I had not considered time delay in visualizing these star positions. The presenter did not say whether her visualizations were corrected for time, that near stars are closer to their current positions relative to the sun and distant stars are billions of years from the positions we see them. I have spent a lot of time listening to scientific presentations and making them myself, though not on astronomy. I prefer to have each visual aid, like a graph, clearly explained, ordinate, abscissa, dimension, scale, trend lines, error bars, colors & symbols etc. In this case I kept feeling that the scale and resolution and the meaning of other characteristics of the images were left to my imagination. It can seem obvious to the presenter since they look at their data every day, but for most other people, taking time to explain what we are seeing is much appreciated. For example, early in the presentation I could not reconcile the apparent star burst pattern of bright stars which seems not to match the spiral distribution of matter in the galaxy. Could you explain for me what was being shown? Another question I had was later in the presentation of the distribution of iron rich stars represented in green. She said the more distant stars were bluer, so less iron and therefore older. But when she pulled back in the image of the galaxy, the green stars formed a starburst pattern in a small region of the galaxy. Is that because of the time factor you mentioned above. Thank you.
@@drmasroberts From what I understand the Kepler view was towards the constellation of Cygnus the Swan, and the stars we see are those stars in that direction we see from Earth. Kepler 2 mission after its gyroscopes had somewhat failed was allowed to look around the ecliptic for brief (compaired to the previous Kepler observation time) observations. So for Kepler 1 mission we are looking across a few spiral arms in a narrow area of view. Kind of like looking through a cardboard tube. we will see some near by objects and some medium objects and some distant objects in the field of view. I think (I am trying to understand this myself) the time dilation effect for the iron rich (green stars) compared to the distribution of the blue stars is not a major factor as the distances are in thousands and tens of thousands of years distant, and has more to do with concentration of super nova ejecta( heavier metalicitiy of stars formed from the super nova ejecta) towards the center of the galaxy. That sine more matter is closer in to the central black hole you will get heavyer stars that are both younger and live shorter lives, and enrich the instellar medium with heavier elements faster, as opposed to the outer rim and spirals of our galaxy where stars might be fewer in number smaller in mass on average, and thus longer lived and producing less heavy elements. I think, too, that locations of the actual spiral arms where matter is concentrated more also plays a part. I hope that helps you. I certainly do not know of all the variables in this scenario.
This is a question I've had for a long time now as well. As I hear about maps of the universe, I'm thinking that such maps are distorted by time delay. I have often wondered whether someone could construct a model of the universe, or our local area of the universe, that positions stars where we predict they should be now based on their velocity and trajectory. I've emailed several astronomers over the years with no reply to this question.
@@Knoxvilletim Maybe now with this Gaia star probe such information it gathers will make such a real time map possible? Maybe see if you can email the AMNH to find out the name of this presenter and take a look at the actual information and learn how to set it up yourself? Maybe star with the closes 10 stars to our Sun. some of shich would be Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, Barnard's star, to name 4 i can remember off the top of my head.
Truly, the human mind and our capabilities are amazing. Its only a few hundred years since we really had much clue what was going on out there and we’ve got this far. What do the next couple of millennia hold??? A culmination of effort from much of the global population, from astronomers, chemists, engineers, project managers, accountants, governments and tax payers, this really is one of the whole human races achievements.
Excellent presentation! In my junior year of high school I took a course in Astronomy. I quickly became an assistant to the prof and not only helping him with his projects, I occasionally helped teach class. This presentation of yours reminded me very much of the sort of things we did back then. One involved painting a scale model of the solar system ( relative to distance, but not size ) on the floor of the hallway. Another project involved a square yard of Styrofoam and hundreds of push pins to map out things in the galaxy relative to Earth. My final exam was to do my own presentation. I had the full use of the planetarium at my disposal. So I did one on how vast the Milky Way is. And I did it in relatable terms to everyday experiences. So this vid brought back some good memories. Thank you.
Fantastic presentation! With the pace of data coming in from present probe projects, it's really great to see renderings of this data in visualizations that are easily digestible. I applaud Ms. Faherty for bringing all this together is a way that allows us all to appreciate what is out there in a way that's never been seen before. A real movie of what is happening instead of a simplistic animation. Really fantistic stuff! Keep up the amazing work Jackie and I look forward to more of these awesome presentations.
WOW. I love astronomy and science, been loving and following it for years now. So I'm not easily impressed but wow and indeed. Our milky way like never seen/simulated before. Great work!
These stars are moving like molecules in air , how vast the difference in scale and yet the familiarity is mindblowing ! We now have an accurate representation of the galaxies , a step towards understanding space.
To see the first take and use of new revolutionary data set is always very exciting. I can only imagine the implication of this new data and its uses will take decades to fully utilise. Red dwarfs are exciting and potentially enormous by way of opportunities. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Its amazing to think back to Carl Sagan's cosmos as a boy and the imagery was based on theory and those shown here are based on actually data plotting paths and motion etc. Truly exciting times. For us all. Invitation accepted, thanks for the Christmas present!
Telescopic perspective is still and real, but motion drawn from other perspectives is animated, based on calculated data to be processed in millions of years. (Years?) Since time doesn't exist, I have used the term Process for time, while year is the duration of the process of Earth rotation around Sun, which is just another process like numerous other processes, such as duration of cooking food in kitchen is different from the duration of process of a year. If you still think time exists, then think of vacuum or empty space, somewhere in the infinity, without any processes, where I would imagine duration of my cooking process, you would imagine a year on Earth and someone else would imagine drive from home to office, etc, etc but in fact, there were no processes to measure in vacuum or empty space somewhere in the infinity. Now its easier to think of Eternity (timelessness) in the Infinity (limitlessness) as well, where, Processlessness aare actually the Timelessness. Thanks for reading.
Nice to see such enthusiasm. I like her presentation and I like the content. I have a masters degree but this is not my field so I guess you could say I'm a layman and I find this very interesting at this level.
I know right.... Not nearly enough women have interest in something outside of a selfie; lunch with the girls.. .etc.... (So it seems anyway)... So yeah this is really a turn on lol..
This is truly a groundbreaking project. A few decades from now we will know so much more because of this. After computers are able to render at higher speeds we should be able to map and project the movements off all the stars in our galaxy.
I have been to many presentations at this museum and to say she is presenting to layman is a correct assessment. These presentations are only attended by interested lay-people like me, who have paid actual money to hear these presentations. That is not to say I am not educated. My degrees are in Biology and my Masters is in Multimedia Technologies...but I still attend because the presentations are presented in a style that everyone can understand. Her manner of talking truly is due to living in New York but her style of presenting the facts, is entirely due to talking to laypeople. The audience came for a show Not an education lecture as you would get in a college class. They are likely to be people with a passing love of astronomy, whatever their day job may be, who paid their 10 bucks to learn what the latest news is in observed astronomy. They aren't an audience of physicists nor astronomers, but hobbyists and potential Museum Donors ($$$) who need things explained in simple terms, and WOW'ed by what the museum staff are doing, or could be doing with more funding.
Also, this is more of a teaser than a comprehensive explanation of the galaxy. If you want the details, there are plenty of people willing to give talks (and she might well be one of them) that last an hour or more. They may even be in the same building.
@@clevername8832 Why do you say that? We should appreciate scientists like her trying to motivate young people to marvel at the universe around us and to want to find out more. If we judge them by the way they talk or look, scientists like Stephen Hawking would have given up trying to interact with the public long ago.
@@rogerdodger8415 Just compare the pittance (thousands or millions) allowed for basic science research compared to dropping untold billions on defense. I'm not saying that defense isn't necessary, just that congress willingly gives defense the lion's share of taxpayer's money and tosses 5% of that amount towards the science that not only educates humanity about the reality of their place in the cosmos (i.e. relieves their ignorance) but may also lead to new science and technologies that benefit mankind...you know, like in the past, the science research that led to COMPUTERS, SMART PHONES, the INTERNET, advanced agriculture to stave off the FAMINES of the past, advanced MEDICINE that prolongs and improves the quality of LIFE. Just because you may not stop and think about or be aware of these advances that ultimately behoove you doesn't mean that you should denigrate them out of your ignorance.
I have to ask. Why should I be afraid? All of the scenarios the presenter said that we shouldn't be afraid of, but do be afraid anyway, won't happen for least one million years. So I have have to ask, again. Why should we be afraid?
@@MarkOden Well, basically, I think she showed star (with its own oort-cloud of comets) passing our star "soon", so you could conclude that earlier stars passing through our oort cloud would perturb stones and they would be hitting us. Nothing we can do about it now, she did not say we should advance our monitoring of space so we don't get wiped out ("like dinosaurs"). Though dinosaurs were on their way out anyhow, a hit by comet just speeded it up a bit. She didn't say it directly but add 10-10000x amount of stars to any video she showed and you may get a decent picture what's happening... We need a plan to divert stuff dropping our way.
That's why she said 'don't be afraid, but do be afraid'. Just like when you look into the Yellowstone Super Volcano or the other things that could cause extinction level events for earth in the far far future. They're things that are scary, but so far away or unknown that its not worth actually being scared about.
Justin Miller Your analogy is comparing a person with a bad heart wondering if they will ever have a heart attack to someone with a bad heart wondering if a jet plane will ever fall on them.
@@MarkOden I don't get why you didn't like his analogy. He was on point with it. What this data shows is, that stars are "constantly" passing by. This can cause asteroids or comets getting pushed into our solar system, potentially hitting earth. Before that "we didn't think" that other stars would pass us so frequently. Its scale means "Don't be afraid, this is stuff that might happen in a million years or so". Its implications mean "But be afraid" because you should always remember: The universe is very hostile towards life. The fact we're here, is dumb luck. Dumb luck can run out over night.
Brilliant. Inspiring. Enlightening. Powerful. Important. Just a few words that could never do justice to an accomplishment of this magnitude. Here's two more words, "thank you."
Brilliant! I'll be following all this closely... I have a few questions.. 1. As the light we see from all stars indicates their positions when the light started its journey to us, and that those stars have moved by the time the light the light reaches us, I assume the stars positions have been corrected accordingly. Some of those stars will have burned out, or even supernova'd in the intervening time. Also, new star will have been created... How have the gravitational influences of now dead and newly formed stars been accounted for in the program's projection many millions of years in the future? And if you are going back in time, what about stars that have supernova'd that we don't know about? Cheers and please keep releasing these incredible insights to our universe...
Well, to account for the gravity of the stars which we can't see (brown dwarfs, etc.) and also that of the "dark matter" which we can't see, I'm sure that they have factored in the best estimates available. After all, they do this for a living.
Chris A - A fact I pointed out in one of my papers in university 56 years ago. If the sun nova'd, we wouldn't know it for eight minutes! My point was that ALL 'knowledge' is actually a belief.
@@eltigre249 Oh no... Beliefs are things we believe it, and haven't any solid proof (like religions and gods). 'Knowledge' is the body of scientifically proven facts, like dinosaurs, fossils, climate change and a round earth....
@@eltigre249 Knowledge aka sciences try their damnedest not to be beliefs. By using instruments beyond the scope of what the human form can measure, we continue to prove and disprove thru peer review and thru many different scientific disciplines. When all of these things continue to point at the same thing, we become more certain of its truth. Scientists are fully aware that not every understanding is 100% correct. Having confidence of 99% can be used to build upon, and as it gets built upon and scrutinized from all involved sciences it becomes further cemented and understood. What would be the alternative? To give up because we do not know for 100%? If the sun nova'd, we would know not fthru the human form but from our instruments/tools and calculations/predictions. From current data, the sun will become a Red Giant set to reach the orbit of Earth 5bil yrs from now, but don't worry... enough other stuff will be happening that it won't be our only concern and hopefully by then we'll have alternatives. A 'belief' is something that you cannot necessarily prove to others, nor others prove for you. 'Knowledge' is stuff that first we prove, then continues to be proven and can be proven by others.
Belief: Someone thinks another is still overly concerned about their college paper from 96 yrs ago because maybe they feel their paper received an erroneous bad grade. Knowledge: Looking up the actual grade of that paper and knowing it.
What a knowledgable and clear, forthright sharing of the latest we have on star creation and mapping star/galaxy movement over accelerated timeframes. I detect no brashness or aggression from the excellent presenter whose enthusiasm drives the presentation.
It's so sad that if this was a song video or a cat putting a hat on it would a hundred times the views and comments! We are so lucky to have this brilliant mind blowing information available at a push of a few buttons. I think about the graph paper we had on our school ceiling representing time and the mobile solar systems we had hanging in our science classrooms and think who could have dreamed we would have this information in such a short period of time. The next decade and beyond is going to bring things we are not capable of even imagining!
Good stuff. If we replay the motions which Gaia now reveals for neighbors, are there any past near transits that might coincide with major past climatic fluctuations or extinction events?
Not quite. See, you have current position, velocity and direction for all these star. From that, you can make linear plots. What you cannot make is accurate predictions because all the stars here are constantly being influenced by the complex gravity fields of other moving objects in the galaxy. Add in the uncertainty of dark matter and dark energy, and all plotting predictions going forwards or backwards becomes increasingly erroneous in an exponential way. Watch the video at 15:30 and notice all the star pairs/groups are moving in straight lines across those millions of years. In reality, they would be moving in curves as they proceed through and with gravity of all other objects. Still, very educational and entertaining! :-)
@@valkyriefrost5301 thats a good point, but i would still be very interested to see that information. for stars that are close enough or moving fast enough, i think even a straight-line approximation would probably still be fairly informative out to several millions of years.
@@Speedj2 I wish we could target our searches towards comets (perturbed by our past millions years nearby stars passing us by). I wish we could see where we could expect oort-cloud hits, but we're nowhere near that precision. So it's still "same old" look out at every direction and hope a killer-comet is not coming from near the sun (only about four days warning period), then hope we can make difference in trajectory in few months we would have left.
@Geo Well yeah, obviously. Anything larger than ~20 km across is likely to have caused all life on Earth to go extinct! The Chicxulub impactor is only hypothesized to have been 10 to 15 km across and that (apparently) caused the entire Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. A near transit might simply perturb Oort or Kuiper Belt objects sufficiently to "stir" them up and send a few on reoriented trajectories that impact Earth.
@@zingkhe ofcourse ! there Are some places where there is very less light pollution , im not saying these places dont exist , but most of the places were people are located are just filled with light pollution , from where iam i barely see a couple stars during the night time :( , i wonder if i will see it in the future
@Zurround100 wait what ? i wasn't talking about those things at all , i just said i would like to see our galaxy and light pollution is stopping me from it , i never mentioned anything about other pollution's or whats the worst pollution.
As she said even on a clear night with zero light pollution on a tall mountain in chile we can only see a bare fraction of the stars in our milkyway (even with a decent refracting telescope on long exposure probably) .This is precisely the point of coupling multiple space based telescopes with the internet and high speed computers/smart phones. We can barely see the constellations that have been know by our ancestors for millennia in city skies. In the 21st century the entire public will have access to hundreds of millions of stars as well as their planetary systems! In both hemispheres; viewed from non-visible spectrums as well.
Haha, the shape of the Kepler data is so embarrassing, if aliens capture our star charts they will totally be able to tell that we can't build reliable reaction wheels :(
Use your got damn brain, boy! This is the usa. If 3d rendering was used, yhe Federal Researve would find a way to 🍒🍌it up and Tax it. Lol Yeah...I guess utilizing rendering software and required processing power would optimize the visual effects thus enabling "brain matter" of individuals that lack previously quoted word, to understand what a proper visualization should look. In theory Dot com Dot org .net
They are in 3D. Like she said, they're pre-made videos because the data set is so huge that she can't do it in realtime on her laptop for the presentation.
1,5 k doesn’t like this presentation !?.Can sameone help me to understand human stupidity and ignorance!?.Did the religion completely blind human intelligence and appetite for knowledge for same people !?.
Your style and approach to explaining how the galaxy look and function is just breathtaking! Great job Doctor. As a result, I definitely will visit the museum in the near future .
Wow, wow wow. I am flashed. Makes me humble and thoughtful.... We as humans only have this world and how are we treating it! Space, we only can reach it in our dreams. Thank you for this excellent presentation.
I am a retired Oracle and SQL Server developer and I would have been thrilled to have loaded these data into a database and run statistical analyses on the data or developed queries to extract subsets of the data. Also, I think if they could have gotten a better close up of Oumuamua, they would have seen that it had "Send more Chuck Berry" printed on it.
@Jeff Lee if god already knows everything there can be known, and can do everything that can and can't be done, there's no more science for him. what's there to learn or improve for a god? how to get *even more* all knowing and omnipotent?
We benefit greatly from expand our consciousness beyond the smallest of petty activities in our daily lives. We are part of this living Universe. It's important to be reminded of this.
The whole talk is about data from the GAIA telescope. She never mentions that Europe built it. She says, "You can applaud GAIA". But it was human beings in Europe, pouring their lives into GAIA, and paying $700 million (650 million Euros) for it, who should get the applause. Another major topic: Oumouaoua. She states, "Using data like this ... Astronomers used this exact thing that I'm showing you". However, she was pointing at an artist's rendering of Oumouamoua. She never mentioned it was just artwork and guesses of an artist. Astronomers do not have an image showing what Oumouamoua's surface looks like. Why did she say this was data and that "astronomers use this exact thing"? (The aspect ratio is approximately estimated, still uncertain.)
Don't worry "Israeli" Mossad agents are stealing all the technical knowledge about the Gaia satellite, the rocket that sent it up, and the software that was used to come up with a distances.. (because of course everything they lay their eyes on BELONGS to them). After Israel manages to copy the technology (using European and American parts) in about 25 years you'll see some serious credit-giving for the bootlegged version of Gaia... Food for thought: Einstein worked in a EUROPEAN patent office before he suddenly turned from a nincompoop into a "genius", and was branded a scientific Superstar by certain newspapers as soon as he got off the boat in New York
Beautifully done! I, for one, strongly believe that while scientific analysis should always be done with dispassion, presentation of such findings should always be with passion. Sadly, in most cases, we get the opposite: we get passionate research and dispassionate, boring presentations. Not so with this one! The amount of enthusiasm is so dense that it's almost tangible. How anyone can hate this, I don't understand at all. Kudos and well done! Love from S Asia!
Great presentation! I’m glad that she talks to the kids at the end-they’re the future generation of astronomers. I’m also glad to see it’s a she and not a he-not that I have anything against guys, but women have typically not been associated with astronomy, and it’s a welcome change in the last few years that we see more and more of them. Hopefully, this will bring more kids and more girls/women to STEM!
In a million years, whatever we become will likely have the ability to move anywhere in this universe and beyond, instantly at will...Frighteningly powerful......So powerful that the only respite would be to forget start again.
Gaia Sky is a wonderful app for exploring the stars that have been mapped by Gaia. It is quite beautiful and I believe offers 3D if you have the capability. Unfortunately, I do not.
According to the simulations, the stars seem to be travelling on something. No of them seems to be colliding into each other. More like what you'd expect if you had balls in a liquid or other fabric. They don't look like they are forming. I'd love this as one of those audio visualiser.
Darn tootin. Just head on down to your local health spa and breathe in the healthy air of a room filled with Himalayan rock salt! Better living through SCIENCE!

Hello good or Ming 11/05/2019
Pseudo trash absolute garbage . You reject every notion that not all us are complete idiots who can not question your absurd stupidity you pass off as a scientific study of your dumb ass limited construct you make out to be reality .
If everyone had this passion about their work, this world would be a different place. Thank you, young lady.
Having teachers like her, learning wouldn't be a struggle for me
@@eclipse369. You sound intimidated. Just because she is passionate and studies something incredibly difficult, that you have no knowledge of, does not make her “ego too much”.
@@eclipse369. and you don’t know Jackie.
Fascinating watching not only the movement of stars, but also the evolution of technology that allows us to gain a better perspective on the universe. Galileo would be proud.
This presentation is MIND BLOWING! it's nearly impossible for the human mind to grasp. I love Jackie's passion, enthusiasm and humour.
None of all you specialists in Physics, Math, Engineering, Mechanics, Chemists, etc, etc, etc, could have done this alone. It is the TEAM which makes this all possible. Sincerely Yours, a team member!
Fascinating. As a 65 year old, I'm astonished at all advances in science, since I was young. Fascinating again, to speculate, what will be, in another 40 years! Love this presentation.
The most incredible fact showcased here for me is this...I can now visualize with absolute astonishment the 37,000 light year distance between the large and small Magellanic clouds. And they look so close.
Why didnt THEY PUT THIS ON THE NEWS? No, they rather flood the news with the latest drama of the Kardashian's
My favourite opinion.
PUT THIS ON THE NEWS! your fav girl is RIGHT!
Because nobody cares about Education, society is in ignorance of the factual truths and is developing an intellect in following fake-drama. Bad time for Education in the world.
The same reason why you are talking with your husband about the weather, how kids do at school or about the new neighbors. And not about Astrophysics...
Btw. I despise scientists whose first sentence during a lecture is "Are you all exited?" and who wear more jewelry then the Kardashians on the red carpet.
@@Astuga ua-cam.com/video/Nzb-VmUCaxM/v-deo.html
I keep coming back her - such a delight. The visual information is amazing - the presenter's vibe is so pleasant, so powerful. It's a joy - one of the best videos in the UA-cam video library.
Science asks questions that may never be answered; religion preaches answers that may never be questioned.
@@lbpiercy It would be nice if someone occasionally answered any questions at all, though. ;-)
I agree with you: the risk is that, missing good questions or answers, we assume that the questions we have matter and the answers given to them are correct.
@@lbpiercy "History shows science declares answers that are often later proven wrong."
Uhu, and the thing that proves them wrong is more science, you fuckwit. Science, when it turns out to have been mistaken, will learn from its mistakes and build a new model that better fits the data we have. Religion just shuts its eyes and ears and screams "NAHNAHNAHNAH, CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
@@lbpiercy Never mind, you're right. My response was uncalled for.
There's so much we still don't know. I envy future generations.
Really? You envy them? Of what? Polluted and toxic planet? Thanks but no thanks. Think Fallout not Star trek.
Toxic soil, polluted oceans, dirty rivers. Clean water will be more valuable than gold. Planet earth will be a wasteland in 200 years or sooner.
We ARE our predecessors' future generation.
freeze yourself
Galileo probably said the same thing.
Science can take blame for some of those things we do not know.
WOW, she is pure passion about this subject. For someone who knows nothing, or at least very, little, I'm now totally hooked after listening to her and have booked up for a night at the planetarium near Kielder, England. She has as much energy as the universe lol. Loved it.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this presentation. Jackie Faherty has a remarkable mind!
wisdom of this realm is foolishness to our creator..
#theawakeningisunstoppable
and this is just regurgitated garbal wisdom and cgi...wake up
Oh my goodness, i love this woman's passion. I wish I could hang out with these scientists. So much to learn.
Thank god for youtube... did i just say that? lol
But really, there are so many gems of up to date talks from scientists that we would never be privy to otherwise. The next best thing to hanging out with them.
wake up, earth is flat and stationary, space is a hoax, there is a firmament above us, people are waking up everyday.
@@godschild5587 God is probably very unhappy because you doubt HIS CAPACITY OF CREATING A GIANT UNIVERSE.
You should be ashamed of trying to diminsh HIS WORK with this continuous effort,so you could feel special and important.
At the moment ,you are NOT acting like a God´s child.
You are acting like a VERY IGNORANT CHILD,ignoring God and His creation.
The importance of people is not measured by the size of their body in the universe or the size of the universe around humans.The importance of people is measured by the capacity of accepting and recognizing how great is the Creator and His Creation.
The Universe is Immense and His creator moves all over its extension.
Deal with it.
@@billybelcaro9585 Unfortunately, there are people who make comments like the one I saw after yours.
Physics and lots of math will get you there.
I've presented to Aerospace companies for 20 years, in my former Metrology career... this Lady is one of the best presenters i've seen. Super impressive technology.
Wow, there are a lot of mean-spirited critiques here. Where's the childlike wonder that this technology deserves? It's fantastic technology. Thank you Jackie Faherty for your high-spirited presentation,
@MonkeyZorr Right..that's why there are so many of us are here commenting on her political jobs. lol
@Don Pelton, I agree, so many haters here. I enjoyed the hell out of this presentation, I'm over 60 but her enthusiasm made me feel like a kid again. These bozos are yawning and whining but I'm wishing it was 2 hours longer.
I'm not a child anymore.
There's the childishness! Ah... From the mouths of babes. @@CrimTube
@@CrimTube I'm sorry. I thought we were talking about mean spirited critiques.
Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty gave a spectacular presentation. I love when these show up online, more and more cutting edge science is being done every day! Jackie's project on the Brown Dwarf plants is also connected with Galaxy Zoo! Sure didn't realize that until I looked up her link online and found it connecting up my Galaxy Zoo acc. Sure wish those images were a little bit more beautiful. It's such a bummer, I miss all the exciting new images!
Good Luck with your Brown Dwarf planet search Miss Jackie! Thank you for the wonderful presentation. 😍
Astronomy is so fascinating. The passion in her voice is pure and authentic. Wished I would have been more intuned when I was in school. Kudos to you young lady.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much, Jackie!
I really enjoyed this presentation. Thank you for sharing the data visualizations with the world.
This woman is passionate about her subject matter, she knows her stuff and she breaks really complex theories into plain English so that shmucks like me can understand. Really enjoyed her presentation!!
Amazing work scientists and engineers.. Thank you.
...don't any of them bump into each other?!....
I love this visualization style. As an artist I like the scale it can boggle your mind with.
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION! I could not even sleep well last night thinking of that new data!!!! Wonderful!!!
Oh no!!! I started to read the comments....WHY do I always start to read the comments?!?
Indeed. Humanity may be a lost cause.
@Jerome Walker Habit mostly. Plus comments on channels like, ChessNetwork, Numberphile, and PBS Space Time, among a few others are generally better than the normal noise.
They are good for truthful criticism.
I fall into the same trap, Colin. I share the feels.
Ha ha ha exactly my friend. Curiosity killed the cat...
WOW!! she is fantastic, wish I had a teacher with her interest in Science back in the day, when we hadn't even landed on the Moon with a surveyor space craft... Even up to the Apollo landing... teachers in high school were like robots themselves just doling out information... I hope there are more like her, who know how to turn kids on to STEM subjects... Even if there are few jobs, with knowledge comes power.... My parents believed in having a well rounded education, and they tried their best to get us involved intellectually with the science discoveries of the 50's and 60's which helped with the explosion of information and technologies that has happened since, and powers my interest to this day about the future... without that, I'd be another 70+ senior, sitting in a nursing home, waiting to peg out... Remember that as you teach your kids and others... you are helping them to navigate through life's technical and social changes, not just supplying them with the tools to earn a living...
Great advice, thank you.
65 year old man here; I wish I was being born tomorrow to see what great 'stuff' Jackie Faherty discovers!! Happy to have enjoyed the Museum of Natural History for many years.
puts a lot of our "news" into a much more humble perspective. Thank you!
I am SO GLAD I came across this video. Thank you!
My feelings exactly.
did it open up your eyes
so amazing. sped up in the 'fly-by' animation those stars appear like motes of dust in a sunbeam. truly perspective-changing
Fascinating stuff made even more interesting by an excellent presenter who with genuine enthusiasm made this sound like an Apple event!!
I really like her enthusiasm about space exploration and astronomy.

@@2campercamper , Before you hit the reply tab, you should proof read what you write! Your first line shows that you can't even make a complete sentence. Maybe a basic English class wouldn't hurt you.
This is absolutely fantastic work by Jackie Faherty! ... So proud that my ancestor Collis P Huntington was a founder of the American Museum of Natural History and funded the Huntington Expeditions ... I worked with the evolutionary microbiologist Dr. Lynn Margulis who co-wrote the Gaia Hypothesis [Margulis was also married to astrophysicist Carl Sagan] and I later pioneered augmented reality and photographed NASA's Orion Journey to Mars First Test Launch at the Kennedy Cape Canaveral through Google Glass ... This is SO COOL! ... amazing use of technology! ... We are star stuff! #Gaia #GaiaHypothesis #DataVisualization #MappingtheGalaxy
I was a bit familiar with the Gaia mission but not with Margulis' Gaia Hypo until I saw your post and investigated. After watching a thorough 10 part series "Voyage of the Continents" for many weeks at bedtime recently, I kind of drew the same conclusion of the hypothesis: It's as Earth is a living organism closely tied and evolving alongside what we deem life. Whether this is just a probable roll of the dice or intentional, well that is a whole 'nother topic :D Love your enthusiasm! Highly recommend that series.
looks like you are very proud? Pride is foolish. Downvoted. PS I like scientists, but I cannot comprehend PRIDE. I think it's some sort of illness. I would have understood if you had written 'it's so pleasant, I feel that my actions are so important for the humanity, and touching this well fills me with joy, and my fountain sparkles!'. I'll downvote any pride-filled turkey-cock.
Third time I've watched this because it's captivating and beautifully presented by a brilliant and energetic astrophysicist. Every time we go to NYC we make sure we go to the MNH and buy tickets to the Hayden Planetarium...we've never been disappointed.
So with Gaia's data we can plot the distance and trajectories of stars and place each one where it SHOULD be in time without time delay caused by distance and the speed of light. For example Proxima Centauri is the closest star to Sol, but we see it 4.3 years behind where it is actually located in space due to the light speed time delay of 4.3 years. Now we can show exactly where it is in its orbit of Alpha Centauri A and B binary system as well as exactly where those two stars are in their binary orbits around each other. So we can remove the time delay of what we see in the night sky and where these and other stars are really located in the Milky Way. That will siginificantly help in persuing 1/5 or 1/10 speed of light travel to out nearest stellar neighbors for navigating to them correctly.
Pup314 Thanks for your thoughts. I had not considered time delay in visualizing these star positions. The presenter did not say whether her visualizations were corrected for time, that near stars are closer to their current positions relative to the sun and distant stars are billions of years from the positions we see them. I have spent a lot of time listening to scientific presentations and making them myself, though not on astronomy. I prefer to have each visual aid, like a graph, clearly explained, ordinate, abscissa, dimension, scale, trend lines, error bars, colors & symbols etc. In this case I kept feeling that the scale and resolution and the meaning of other characteristics of the images were left to my imagination. It can seem obvious to the presenter since they look at their data every day, but for most other people, taking time to explain what we are seeing is much appreciated. For example, early in the presentation I could not reconcile the apparent star burst pattern of bright stars which seems not to match the spiral distribution of matter in the galaxy. Could you explain for me what was being shown? Another question I had was later in the presentation of the distribution of iron rich stars represented in green. She said the more distant stars were bluer, so less iron and therefore older. But when she pulled back in the image of the galaxy, the green stars formed a starburst pattern in a small region of the galaxy. Is that because of the time factor you mentioned above. Thank you.
@@drmasroberts From what I understand the Kepler view was towards the constellation of Cygnus the Swan, and the stars we see are those stars in that direction we see from Earth. Kepler 2 mission after its gyroscopes had somewhat failed was allowed to look around the ecliptic for brief (compaired to the previous Kepler observation time) observations. So for Kepler 1 mission we are looking across a few spiral arms in a narrow area of view. Kind of like looking through a cardboard tube. we will see some near by objects and some medium objects and some distant objects in the field of view. I think (I am trying to understand this myself) the time dilation effect for the iron rich (green stars) compared to the distribution of the blue stars is not a major factor as the distances are in thousands and tens of thousands of years distant, and has more to do with concentration of super nova ejecta( heavier metalicitiy of stars formed from the super nova ejecta) towards the center of the galaxy. That sine more matter is closer in to the central black hole you will get heavyer stars that are both younger and live shorter lives, and enrich the instellar medium with heavier elements faster, as opposed to the outer rim and spirals of our galaxy where stars might be fewer in number smaller in mass on average, and thus longer lived and producing less heavy elements. I think, too, that locations of the actual spiral arms where matter is concentrated more also plays a part. I hope that helps you. I certainly do not know of all the variables in this scenario.
This is a question I've had for a long time now as well. As I hear about maps of the universe, I'm thinking that such maps are distorted by time delay. I have often wondered whether someone could construct a model of the universe, or our local area of the universe, that positions stars where we predict they should be now based on their velocity and trajectory. I've emailed several astronomers over the years with no reply to this question.
@@Knoxvilletim Maybe now with this Gaia star probe such information it gathers will make such a real time map possible? Maybe see if you can email the AMNH to find out the name of this presenter and take a look at the actual information and learn how to set it up yourself? Maybe star with the closes 10 stars to our Sun. some of shich would be Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, Barnard's star, to name 4 i can remember off the top of my head.
Truly, the human mind and our capabilities are amazing. Its only a few hundred years since we really had much clue what was going on out there and we’ve got this far. What do the next couple of millennia hold??? A culmination of effort from much of the global population, from astronomers, chemists, engineers, project managers, accountants, governments and tax payers, this really is one of the whole human races achievements.
Muslims defeat us and return us to the stone age. That's what the future holds.
Seeing the 'Magellanic clouds' above the Milky Way takes me back 30 years to climbing in the Andes & camping near
Excellent presentation! In my junior year of high school I took a course in Astronomy. I quickly became an assistant to the prof and not only helping him with his projects, I occasionally helped teach class. This presentation of yours reminded me very much of the sort of things we did back then. One involved painting a scale model of the solar system ( relative to distance, but not size ) on the floor of the hallway. Another project involved a square yard of Styrofoam and hundreds of push pins to map out things in the galaxy relative to Earth. My final exam was to do my own presentation. I had the full use of the planetarium at my disposal. So I did one on how vast the Milky Way is. And I did it in relatable terms to everyday experiences. So this vid brought back some good memories. Thank you.
This is absolutely amazing stuff!! Thank you for the presentation, Dr. Faherty!
Fantastic presentation! With the pace of data coming in from present probe projects, it's really great to see renderings of this data in visualizations that are easily digestible. I applaud Ms. Faherty for bringing all this together is a way that allows us all to appreciate what is out there in a way that's never been seen before. A real movie of what is happening instead of a simplistic animation. Really fantistic stuff! Keep up the amazing work Jackie and I look forward to more of these awesome presentations.
sure, "real"
What’s up with all the negativity? She is an amazing presenter. I’m a physics teacher myself, and I was enthralled by the whole thing.
Exactly. This was a beautiful presentation!
I think the "fake news" comment just triggered the youtube trolls. LOL!
The usual men who cant stand a woman cos she doesn't go into all the mathematical shit they want to hear cos theyre losers with no imagination.
WOW.
I love astronomy and science, been loving and following it for years now. So I'm not easily impressed but wow and indeed. Our milky way like never seen/simulated before. Great work!
These stars are moving like molecules in air , how vast the difference in scale and yet the familiarity is mindblowing ! We now have an accurate representation of the galaxies , a step towards understanding space.
Here's another beautiful rendition of our satellites in space. Here's some stars that are also in space.
this is Stellar cartography you people have an awesome job I'm jealous
Wow! I've played with the older data in Partiview. I would love to be able to turn on time and see the movement like this. Outstanding.
But she says your laptop will be crashed.
To see the first take and use of new revolutionary data set is always very exciting. I can only imagine the implication of this new data and its uses will take decades to fully utilise. Red dwarfs are exciting and potentially enormous by way of opportunities. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Its amazing to think back to Carl Sagan's cosmos as a boy and the imagery was based on theory and those shown here are based on actually data plotting paths and motion etc. Truly exciting times. For us all.
Invitation accepted, thanks for the Christmas present!
Telescopic perspective is still and real, but motion drawn from other perspectives
is animated, based on calculated data to be processed in millions of years. (Years?)
Since time doesn't exist, I have used the term Process for time, while year is the
duration of the process of Earth rotation around Sun, which is just another process
like numerous other processes, such as duration of cooking food in kitchen is different
from the duration of process of a year.
If you still think time exists, then think of vacuum or empty space, somewhere in the infinity,
without any processes, where I would imagine duration of my cooking process, you would
imagine a year on Earth and someone else would imagine drive from home to office, etc, etc
but in fact, there were no processes to measure in vacuum or empty space somewhere in the infinity.
Now its easier to think of Eternity (timelessness) in the Infinity (limitlessness) as well, where,
Processlessness aare actually the Timelessness. Thanks for reading.
Nice to see such enthusiasm. I like her presentation and I like the content. I have a masters degree but this is not my field so I guess you could say I'm a layman and I find this very interesting at this level.
@@PersonalStash420 I would give you 10 "likes" if I could, you've said what we all think brother 😀👍

@Welsh Simon you're not wrong.
@Benaiah Ahmadinejad word

@@GabeTheGun1 I just like her cute voice
Awesome presentation, I wish science teachers could be like her!
I wonder why most intelligent science people choose not to teach?
This is truly a groundbreaking project. A few decades from now we will know so much more because of this. After computers are able to render at higher speeds we should be able to map and project the movements off all the stars in our galaxy.
I have been to many presentations at this museum and to say she is presenting to layman is a correct assessment.
These presentations are only attended by interested lay-people like me, who have paid actual money to hear these presentations. That is not to say I am not educated. My degrees are in Biology and my Masters is in Multimedia Technologies...but I still attend because the presentations are presented in a style that everyone can understand. Her manner of talking truly is due to living in New York but her style of presenting the facts, is entirely due to talking to laypeople. The audience came for a show Not an education lecture as you would get in a college class. They are likely to be people with a passing love of astronomy, whatever their day job may be, who paid their 10 bucks to learn what the latest news is in observed astronomy. They aren't an audience of physicists nor astronomers, but hobbyists and potential Museum Donors ($$$) who need things explained in simple terms, and WOW'ed by what the museum staff are doing, or could be doing with more funding.
Also, this is more of a teaser than a comprehensive explanation of the galaxy. If you want the details, there are plenty of people willing to give talks (and she might well be one of them) that last an hour or more. They may even be in the same building.
She makes me puke in my mouth a little.
@@clevername8832 Why do you say that? We should appreciate scientists like her trying to motivate young people to marvel at the universe around us and to want to find out more. If we judge them by the way they talk or look, scientists like Stephen Hawking would have given up trying to interact with the public long ago.
What's all this doing for your everyday common man? With these billions spent, what's it concretely doing for us?
@@rogerdodger8415 Just compare the pittance (thousands or millions) allowed for basic science research compared to dropping untold billions on defense. I'm not saying that defense isn't necessary, just that congress willingly gives defense the lion's share of taxpayer's money and tosses 5% of that amount towards the science that not only educates humanity about the reality of their place in the cosmos (i.e. relieves their ignorance) but may also lead to new science and technologies that benefit mankind...you know, like in the past, the science research that led to COMPUTERS, SMART PHONES, the INTERNET, advanced agriculture to stave off the FAMINES of the past, advanced MEDICINE that prolongs and improves the quality of LIFE. Just because you may not stop and think about or be aware of these advances that ultimately behoove you doesn't mean that you should denigrate them out of your ignorance.
I have to ask. Why should I be afraid? All of the scenarios the presenter said that we shouldn't be afraid of, but do be afraid anyway, won't happen for least one million years.
So I have have to ask, again. Why should we be afraid?
terb reduob Understood. But I'm still not afraid. 😎
@@MarkOden Well, basically, I think she showed star (with its own oort-cloud of comets) passing our star "soon", so you could conclude that earlier stars passing through our oort cloud would perturb stones and they would be hitting us. Nothing we can do about it now, she did not say we should advance our monitoring of space so we don't get wiped out ("like dinosaurs"). Though dinosaurs were on their way out anyhow, a hit by comet just speeded it up a bit.
She didn't say it directly but add 10-10000x amount of stars to any video she showed and you may get a decent picture what's happening... We need a plan to divert stuff dropping our way.
That's why she said 'don't be afraid, but do be afraid'. Just like when you look into the Yellowstone Super Volcano or the other things that could cause extinction level events for earth in the far far future. They're things that are scary, but so far away or unknown that its not worth actually being scared about.
Justin Miller Your analogy is comparing a person with a bad heart wondering if they will ever have a heart attack to someone with a bad heart wondering if a jet plane will ever fall on them.
@@MarkOden I don't get why you didn't like his analogy. He was on point with it. What this data shows is, that stars are "constantly" passing by. This can cause asteroids or comets getting pushed into our solar system, potentially hitting earth. Before that "we didn't think" that other stars would pass us so frequently.
Its scale means "Don't be afraid, this is stuff that might happen in a million years or so". Its implications mean "But be afraid" because you should always remember: The universe is very hostile towards life. The fact we're here, is dumb luck. Dumb luck can run out over night.
Brilliant. Inspiring. Enlightening. Powerful. Important. Just a few words that could never do justice to an accomplishment of this magnitude. Here's two more words, "thank you."
Important was a stretch
Had to watch twice and could watch it again..alot of work went into this and ty for opening up our minds more.
Brilliant! I'll be following all this closely... I have a few questions.. 1. As the light we see from all stars indicates their positions when the light started its journey to us, and that those stars have moved by the time the light the light reaches us, I assume the stars positions have been corrected accordingly. Some of those stars will have burned out, or even supernova'd in the intervening time. Also, new star will have been created... How have the gravitational influences of now dead and newly formed stars been accounted for in the program's projection many millions of years in the future? And if you are going back in time, what about stars that have supernova'd that we don't know about? Cheers and please keep releasing these incredible insights to our universe...
Well, to account for the gravity of the stars which we can't see (brown dwarfs, etc.) and also that of the "dark matter" which we can't see, I'm sure that they have factored in the best estimates available. After all, they do this for a living.
Chris A - A fact I pointed out in one of my papers in university 56 years ago. If the sun nova'd, we wouldn't know it for eight minutes! My point was that ALL 'knowledge' is actually a belief.
@@eltigre249 Oh no... Beliefs are things we believe it, and haven't any solid proof (like religions and gods). 'Knowledge' is the body of scientifically proven facts, like dinosaurs, fossils, climate change and a round earth....
@@eltigre249 Knowledge aka sciences try their damnedest not to be beliefs. By using instruments beyond the scope of what the human form can measure, we continue to prove and disprove thru peer review and thru many different scientific disciplines. When all of these things continue to point at the same thing, we become more certain of its truth. Scientists are fully aware that not every understanding is 100% correct. Having confidence of 99% can be used to build upon, and as it gets built upon and scrutinized from all involved sciences it becomes further cemented and understood. What would be the alternative? To give up because we do not know for 100%?
If the sun nova'd, we would know not fthru the human form but from our instruments/tools and calculations/predictions. From current data, the sun will become a Red Giant set to reach the orbit of Earth 5bil yrs from now, but don't worry... enough other stuff will be happening that it won't be our only concern and hopefully by then we'll have alternatives.
A 'belief' is something that you cannot necessarily prove to others, nor others prove for you. 'Knowledge' is stuff that first we prove, then continues to be proven and can be proven by others.
Belief: Someone thinks another is still overly concerned about their college paper from 96 yrs ago because maybe they feel their paper received an erroneous bad grade.
Knowledge: Looking up the actual grade of that paper and knowing it.
What a knowledgable and clear, forthright sharing of the latest we have on star creation and mapping star/galaxy movement over accelerated timeframes. I detect no brashness or aggression from the excellent presenter whose enthusiasm drives the presentation.
Wow......I actually was able to comprehend some of the presentation. What a leap forward.!
That is beautiful. But it is hard to beat the mid pacific too. Thanks for sharing!
It's so sad that if this was a song video or a cat putting a hat on it would a hundred times the views and comments! We are so lucky to have this brilliant mind blowing information available at a push of a few buttons. I think about the graph paper we had on our school ceiling representing time and the mobile solar systems we had hanging in our science classrooms and think who could have dreamed we would have this information in such a short period of time. The next decade and beyond is going to bring things we are not capable of even imagining!
Good stuff. If we replay the motions which Gaia now reveals for neighbors, are there any past near transits that might coincide with major past climatic fluctuations or extinction events?
Not quite. See, you have current position, velocity and direction for all these star. From that, you can make linear plots. What you cannot make is accurate predictions because all the stars here are constantly being influenced by the complex gravity fields of other moving objects in the galaxy. Add in the uncertainty of dark matter and dark energy, and all plotting predictions going forwards or backwards becomes increasingly erroneous in an exponential way. Watch the video at 15:30 and notice all the star pairs/groups are moving in straight lines across those millions of years. In reality, they would be moving in curves as they proceed through and with gravity of all other objects.
Still, very educational and entertaining! :-)
@@valkyriefrost5301 thats a good point, but i would still be very interested to see that information. for stars that are close enough or moving fast enough, i think even a straight-line approximation would probably still be fairly informative out to several millions of years.
@@Speedj2 I wish we could target our searches towards comets (perturbed by our past millions years nearby stars passing us by). I wish we could see where we could expect oort-cloud hits, but we're nowhere near that precision. So it's still "same old" look out at every direction and hope a killer-comet is not coming from near the sun (only about four days warning period), then hope we can make difference in trajectory in few months we would have left.
Sholz star fucked us really bad 70k years ago
@Geo Well yeah, obviously. Anything larger than ~20 km across is likely to have caused all life on Earth to go extinct! The Chicxulub impactor is only hypothesized to have been 10 to 15 km across and that (apparently) caused the entire Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
A near transit might simply perturb Oort or Kuiper Belt objects sufficiently to "stir" them up and send a few on reoriented trajectories that impact Earth.
A shame we cant go out every night and look at something similar or close to this everyday , a shame light pollution exists.
not from where i come from. I just witnessed the milky way galaxy yesterday.
@@zingkhe ofcourse ! there Are some places where there is very less light pollution , im not saying these places dont exist , but most of the places were people are located are just filled with light pollution , from where iam i barely see a couple stars during the night time :( , i wonder if i will see it in the future
@Zurround100 wait what ? i wasn't talking about those things at all , i just said i would like to see our galaxy and light pollution is stopping me from it , i never mentioned anything about other pollution's or whats the worst pollution.
I still remember seeing the Milky Way, as a child, back in the 50s. It was nearly as good as her photo.
As she said even on a clear night with zero light pollution on a tall mountain in chile we can only see a bare fraction of the stars in our milkyway (even with a decent refracting telescope on long exposure probably) .This is precisely the point of coupling multiple space based telescopes with the internet and high speed computers/smart phones. We can barely see the constellations that have been know by our ancestors for millennia in city skies. In the 21st century the entire public will have access to hundreds of millions of stars as well as their planetary systems! In both hemispheres; viewed from non-visible spectrums as well.
About time we got some fresh blood into Astrophysics... well done, Jackie Faherty !!
*We have a Universe to Explore !!*
These visualizations really need to be done in 3D, collapsing star movements into a plane leaves out so much info
Haha, the shape of the Kepler data is so embarrassing, if aliens capture our star charts they will totally be able to tell that we can't build reliable reaction wheels :(
Use your got damn brain, boy! This is the usa.
If 3d rendering was used, yhe Federal Researve would find a way to 🍒🍌it up and Tax it.
Lol
Yeah...I guess utilizing rendering software and required processing power would optimize the visual effects thus enabling "brain matter" of individuals that lack previously quoted word, to understand what a proper visualization should look.
In theory

They are in 3D. Like she said, they're pre-made videos because the data set is so huge that she can't do it in realtime on her laptop for the presentation.
1,5 k doesn’t like this presentation !?.Can sameone help me to understand human stupidity and ignorance!?.Did the religion completely blind human intelligence and appetite for knowledge for same people !?.
One has to love Jackie's passion!
Exactly that i was going to comment
She is so friggin amazing and cool
You said it!!!!!
Great delivery, awesome knowledge and kickass energy. Showing Neil DeGrasse how its done!
@@VonSC2 I wouldn't be surprised if NDGT wasn't in the audience and every bit as awe-stricken as the rest of us!
@Benaiah Ahmadinejad bahahaha, your comment stopped me from puking at all the unwhitingly-sexist patronizing simps
Thank You Jackie! You're 1000 times smarter than Neil Tyson. Anyway, Loved your presentation.
I don’t think so 🥳
I Love this woman's presentations. She is the reason I subscribed to this channel.
"Science" is a method of study, not a body of knowledge.
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be lighted. Plutarch
Scientific knowledge is based on the scientific method.
Science literally comes from the Latin for "knowledge."
And most sciences began as religions, but that etymology does not change the definition of the term.
Science is both a set of methods for studying as well as containing a body of knowledge.
This is jaw dropping. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these amazing views with us!
Your style and approach to explaining how the galaxy look and function is just breathtaking! Great job Doctor. As a result, I definitely will visit the museum in the near future .
Reading the comments leads me to wish that the Andromeda Galaxy was hitting us tonight
And I pray, both Faherty & Doherty survive.
Science is very magical.
LOL This isn't science, it is mere spectacle
Caesar Vespasian yeah, ok. Its not science huh? Are u a Flat Earther too? If so, I just wasted lots of science sending a message to irrelevant person.
Caesar Vespasian "spectacle" could be better used on a topic such as Stalins "Show Trials"....not so good here.
Very Magical is Science.🤔
Wow, wow wow. I am flashed. Makes me humble and thoughtful.... We as humans only have this world and how are we treating it! Space, we only can reach it in our dreams. Thank you for this excellent presentation.
Astonishing! Many thanks for the post.
I had never heard of her, but great presentation!
I am a retired Oracle and SQL Server developer and I would have been thrilled to have loaded these data into a database and run statistical analyses on the data or developed queries to extract subsets of the data.
Also, I think if they could have gotten a better close up of Oumuamua, they would have seen that it had "Send more Chuck Berry" printed on it.
god i love science
@Jeff Lee if god already knows everything there can be known, and can do everything that can and can't be done, there's no more science for him.
what's there to learn or improve for a god? how to get *even more* all knowing and omnipotent?
@@miwoj
Then God is an atheist if he doesn't have another God to believe in?
What would all the Christians do if only they knew.
Well done. Enjoyed it. Love the dress x
We benefit greatly from expand our consciousness beyond the smallest of petty activities in our daily lives. We are part of this living Universe. It's important to be reminded of this.
Thank you.
The whole talk is about data from the GAIA telescope. She never mentions that Europe built it. She says, "You can applaud GAIA". But it was human beings in Europe, pouring their lives into GAIA, and paying $700 million (650 million Euros) for it, who should get the applause. Another major topic: Oumouaoua. She states, "Using data like this ... Astronomers used this exact thing that I'm showing you". However, she was pointing at an artist's rendering of Oumouamoua. She never mentioned it was just artwork and guesses of an artist. Astronomers do not have an image showing what Oumouamoua's surface looks like. Why did she say this was data and that "astronomers use this exact thing"? (The aspect ratio is approximately estimated, still uncertain.)
Stop whining like a woman
Don't worry "Israeli" Mossad agents are stealing all the technical knowledge about the Gaia satellite, the rocket that sent it up, and the software that was used to come up with a distances.. (because of course everything they lay their eyes on BELONGS to them). After Israel manages to copy the technology (using European and American parts) in about 25 years you'll see some serious credit-giving for the bootlegged version of Gaia... Food for thought: Einstein worked in a EUROPEAN patent office before he suddenly turned from a nincompoop into a "genius", and was branded a scientific Superstar by certain newspapers as soon as he got off the boat in New York
Beautifully done! I, for one, strongly believe that while scientific analysis should always be done with dispassion, presentation of such findings should always be with passion. Sadly, in most cases, we get the opposite: we get passionate research and dispassionate, boring presentations. Not so with this one! The amount of enthusiasm is so dense that it's almost tangible. How anyone can hate this, I don't understand at all. Kudos and well done! Love from S Asia!
Great presentation and great science.
Great presentation! I’m glad that she talks to the kids at the end-they’re the future generation of astronomers. I’m also glad to see it’s a she and not a he-not that I have anything against guys, but women have typically not been associated with astronomy, and it’s a welcome change in the last few years that we see more and more of them. Hopefully, this will bring more kids and more girls/women to STEM!
In a million years, whatever we become will likely have the ability to move anywhere in this universe and beyond, instantly at will...Frighteningly powerful......So powerful that the only respite would be to forget start again.
Gaia Sky is a wonderful app for exploring the stars that have been mapped by Gaia. It is quite beautiful and I believe offers 3D if you have the capability. Unfortunately, I do not.
Give yourself a few years. She said a laptop cant handle it. It will a few years from now. It will be a mobile app before 2022.
There are more stars in the sky, than all of the grains of sand in all the Earth's beaches.
💚👽
Yes , even more so. You get it. 😀👽💙 Screw all those flat earther idiots.
Vermin Killah 👽👍🏻
This captured beauty of a world beyond our little dot is an absolutely inspiration..Thank you for sharing!
I love this Amazing presentation thank you!
Love this! Thank you for sharing!
According to the simulations, the stars seem to be travelling on something. No of them seems to be colliding into each other. More like what you'd expect if you had balls in a liquid or other fabric. They don't look like they are forming.
I'd love this as one of those audio visualiser.
Collision is a good point of your remarks.
*The data that scares me?*
The comments.
Proof, we're still in the Dark-Ages.
Darn tootin. Just head on down to your local health spa and breathe in the healthy air of a room filled with Himalayan rock salt! Better living through SCIENCE!
@@JUANS3F European! As for me, I'm American, and I use a lavatory.
Brilliant presentation.
i salute Jackie Faherty
sweet exciting presentation, outstanding vision,
outstanding guide to help us feel our galactic disk swarm of stars
Wow, Jackie.... this is fascinating! Thank you!
