For those wondering how it can be only 160K light years away and in a different galaxy when the nearest galaxy, Andromeda is 2.5 million years away, it’s probably in the Magellanic Clouds that are like satellite galaxies of Milky Way and are 160-200K years away.
@@megamankeht6098it is literally beyond weird, because I can’t help but wonder as you zoom out if everything is orbiting around something else, what does that look like once you get to a way bigger scale, play galaxy, orbiting X then cluster of galaxies orbiting and so on… idk if i said that correctly. But yeah 🎉😂
Check out an old Dennis Quaid movie, "Frequency". It's plot is an example of exactly that. EDIT: Except it's racing against the clock over something that happened only 30 years in the past, not 160K.
I love how we explore things like a single dying star. W humans for being explorative like this I find it healthy to think about our cosmic ancestry Puts our young earth in perspective
Is it possible that I may have been seeing a galaxy in the night sky lately? I sometimes get up very very early, at which point the night sky is at its clearest. And I have managed to detect a cloud like formation of light. Which looks very much like a galaxy to the naked eye. It's kind of Northwest. It may be Andromeda
There are places on the planet you could see Andromeda from earth with a naked eye. If it were brighter it would appear bigger than a full moon in the sky from earth
My mind went to a screeching halt when you said we’re watching cosmic history unfold in real time. We don’t see anything in real time especially not a star dying.
Came here to say exactly this. Idk how they went from “we’re seeing this as it was 160000 years ago” to “we’re watching cosmic history unfold in real time”. Which is it Blanche?!
You're absolutely right that we don't see anything in real time when it comes to the cosmos. What I meant by 'real time' is that we're witnessing events as we receive the light they emit, even though the light from a distant star might have traveled for millions or billions of years to reach us. It's cosmic history unfolding for us now, thanks to the universe's vast distances and the finite speed of light. Thanks for pointing that out though!
@ yes, I see what you’re saying now. I can agree in that regard. I just struggle with spacetime and that phrase threw me off. Thanks for your work and insights.
@@CosmoknowledgeAnd if people are willing to say, "Okay, not in REAL time, but I know what he's saying", YOU wouldn't have to write a whole 'nother paragraph explaining the minutae of what the commenter already knows, and is technically correct about, but wouldn't cut you a break for.
I like to try and imagine what the night sky would look like if light somehow traveled instantaneously and we could see the universe as it is rather than the ancient cosmic history we see. Instant light speed would change all physics and life probably, but still an interesting proposition to imagine what is there now.
I think I see this with my phone camera. I get this reddish circle square glowing spinning thing sometimes. It's like a ball of fire inside the frame of a box that's spinning really fast around the ball
Final death role is a more viable cause here....cz, if another star was pulling it from any side, which is briefed as star dance here...thn the dying sun had have an egg shaped look. Which ever side was that other star pulling from the masses of this sun always moved there. But the image showes a clean oval shape.
I doubt if the star is dying...looks like it's at the merge of creating it's solar system after ejecting all the mass ingredients needed to create planets.
That's not the way it works. Active stars are mostly hydrogen. Depending on things like mass, size, density, age, etc., an active star might have some smaller amounts of helium, lithium, carbon, oxygen and such; but being denser, those elements would be situated near or in the core of the star, far removed from the surface, where they could be routinely ejected into space. A star COULD eject hydrogen from it's surface; but that hydrogen would be too hot and energetic for gravity to begin collecting it together to form a "gas giant" type planet. On an atomic scale, heat is motion; and hot hydrogen atoms close to one another just dance and bounce off of each other, never giving static or gravity a chance to pull them together into a large mass. Everything we see tells us that gas planets form far from their parent stars where the gas atoms and molecules are cold and sluggish enough that they don't bounce off of each other much. Electromagnetism (static electricity) and gravity then have the chance to begin forming a mass. ("Hot Jupiters" are gas giants that formed far out in space, and then migrated inward toward their stars.) Rocks and many metals come from supernovae. A star fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. Hydrogen is easiest to fuse, and liberates the most energy. The helium thus created fuses into lithium; then lithium into carbon, and so on, up to iron. The heavier the element, the harder it is to fuse, and the less energy comes from the fusion process. Iron WILL fuse, but it requires more energy than the heat of fusion creates. It's a net energy loss. Up until now, the star has resisted collapse under its own gravity because the energy of fusion in the core was pushing back, outward against gravity's pull. But when enough of the lighter elements have fused into heavier ones and energy production falls below a critical level, gravity wins. In a fraction of a second, all the mass of the star collapses onto the core. The local gravity of the highly compressed matter shoots upward, along with the internal temperature and pressure of the mass. In an instant, the high temperature and pressure of the mass fuses most of itself into heavier and heavier elements past iron up to gold. But the intense energy can't be contained, and the remains of the star blow up and scatter themselves out into space. Some of the debris begins to gather electrostatically and gravitationally, beginning the formation of planets, and any leftover hydrogen from the exploded star begins to collect with any remaining hydrogen that had already been floating free in "local" space before the supernova. It's cold, with no star nearby, and the cold hydrogen cloud is able to grow, and condenses under gravity, which collects more hydrogen, helium, and some few bits of rocky and metallic debris. Eventually, the mass of mostly hydrogen reaches a critical point, triggers fusion once again, and around the new star, some rocky planets may form from leftover debris close in; and farther out, gases, dust, and frozen gases (ices) may gather to form gas and ice worlds. And that's where baby star systems come from.
Wow! So..Mr. Musk i'm right...The Universe really doesn't have station for they are always searching...Whoever this is i wanted to talk to you in person..your question is so complicated..but i think i've known everything when i was in great need of help! To Scientist you're of great help in humanities sake! Thank you for your existence..🎉❤
This doesn't add up, the closest galaxy to us is Andromeda and it's 2.5 million ly away while this star is only 160k ly away but the narrator said it's on a different galaxy.
The "Large Magelenic Cloud" is merely a "satellite galaxy" around our own Milky Way. There is at least one other: The Small Magelenic Cloud". There is currently a possibility of a third small galaxy hiding behind the LMC. That has NOT been confirmed yet. These galaxies are true satellite galaxies of the Milky Way as they circle around our own galaxy every so-many millions of years.
Andromeda is the nearest large galaxy to us. The Large Magellanic Cloud is one of several smaller satellite galaxies around the Milky Way that is closer to our galaxy than the Andromeda Galaxy.
Alpha Centauri isn’t easily visible because it lies in the Southern Hemisphere sky, making it inaccessible to most Northern Hemisphere observers. Despite being closer, it requires dark skies and favorable viewing conditions to see clearly.
JWST can’t capture close-up images of stars. It can study their light and properties but due to the vast distances, stars appear as tiny points, even with its advanced resolution. Unfortunately not possible ❤️
Maybe all the UFO's flying about are from this star system coming here b/c their world was about to be incinerated. Of course they must have found a wormhole to get here. Lol.
What i can't wrap my head around is that 160,000 light years is how we perceive the distance and time to travel from that star to us. (But) from the perspective ofv the photons of light from that star to us, there is ZERO time to travel to Earth. Try and work that one out from an intuitive point of view.
It's not impossible. To instruments powerful and sensitive enough, Earth would stand out in the solar system like a candle in a dim room. Only in the last couple of decades have we begun to see that such instruments ARE possible with the right engineering, the right materials, and the right approach. At the rate we're going, some people alive today will live to see the first direct image of an exoplanet showing some surface features, perhaps such as continents and oceans (assuming a rocky water world like ours). There's not one thing that would prevent advanced life on some other world, at this moment by OUR reckoning, from studying Earth the way it was decades or centuries ago, if they exist, and if they have the instruments.
These aren't real pictures and it's somewhat dishonest that JWST vloggers try to pass these off as real images. JWST uses infrared technology to artificially create an AI generated image that is a "representation" of what the telescope assumes according to the data. Cool technology? Absolutely. But if you boil it down, at the end of the day it's still an artificially created image.
This image wasn’t taken by JWST but by ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), which combines light from multiple telescopes for incredibly detailed observations.
The Magellanic Clouds are two irregular dwarf galaxies in the southern celestial hemisphere. Orbiting the Milky Way galaxy, these satellite galaxies are members of the Local Group. The Large Magellanic Cloud is about 163, 000 light years away.
they explained the star was in the large magellic cloud (idk if i spelt that right) (LMC) and LMC is outside our galaxy, but is a sattelite galaxy, which is like a mini galaxy of some sort that is actually very close to the milky way galaxy in cosmic terms.
Dumb dumb dumb..... its not a close-up picture. That means the the picture was taken close to the star. Its a super-telephoto picture from a huge distance away.
Dumb indeed. Close up photography refers to a tightly cropped shot that shows a subject (or object) up close and with significantly more detail than the human eye usually perceives. With close up photography, you reduce the field of view, increasing the size of the subject, and creating a tight frame around your selected shot. Being "close" to your subject is not required for a close-up. A telephoto lens or a giant telescope in space can produce a close-up. Source: Photographer of 20 years. Ultimately it doesn't matter as nothing will change your mind.
@@merickful I understand many people will not differentiate between a close-up shot and a telephoto shot. Close-up does not mean cropping. Why dumb-down to that level? You could say 'here's a crop' or 'here's a detail' from that image. I'll go get my macro lens to take some close-ups of the moon.
It can’t be 160,000 ly away if it’s in another galaxy. Our galaxy alone is 100,000 ly across. The nearest galaxy is like millions of light years away. Idk how they messed that up.
Actually, LMC is a dwarf galaxy and a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, situated at about 163.000 ly from our galaxy. I think you're confusing Earth as the point of reference and the distance between the two galaxies.
Large Magellanic cloud is 160k lightyears away from earth. Milkyway is 100k but we are not in the center of it. We are ¾ of the way out. So yeah. 160k lightyears is right for the large magellanic
Why do we keep looking at other galaxies? Aren't there stars and systems in our own galaxy? I mean, we haven't even completely mapped the earth's oceans.
You obviously have a hard time understanding the size of objects and the difference between a star, which is a massive nuclear powerhouse, and a planet which is a ball of rock or gas which gives off no light of it's own.
imagine a star 2000 times larger than our sun going supernova wiping out any potential life in its wake while we sit here in the comfort of our homes watching it through modern day telescopes.
