I like how they added neptunes orbit as a point of reference.
That helps to asimilate how fast theese stars move ....
They love using Neptune’s orbit. I prefer the orbit of Sedna.
And Sagittarius A* is basically the size of Neptune's Orbit.
Can't wait for the James Webb to look into the centre of our galaxy. Its going to be a game changer.
I wonder if they'll do the same thing as when they observed the others galaxy black hole, where they synchronized all the earth telescopes too I really hope they would do that along with Hubble and the spitzer telescope that would be amazing 😍
says who
Whatever they capture it's going to be awesome!
I don't think they will.
It's not the first infrared telescope. They already looked at the center with infrared telescope. Moreover, JWST was designed to work for collecting light from very distant star systems.
@@blahblah-pl2qd they will
It's mind-boggling that a star can cover the distance of Neptune's orbit in a matter of months! Imagine the forces going on there!
A very rough estimate based on what I'm seeing on screen gives me that these 2 stars are moving at ~3% the speed of light.
EDIT: oops forgot time is relative! Most probably my calculation is very wrong since gravity is a lot higher there i.e. time runs much slower than on Earth (or Neptune).
And Neptune take 165 years to orbit Sol.
@@admiralnlson damn youre right! I havent thought about that either. So maybe they would be moving even faster in our time.
But do you think that time is moving slower there? I mean the star is roughly as far away as neptune. That are 30 AU! ~2.6 billion miles. So maybe it would be even too far away for the gravity to curve time...?
I dont know if I am right..
@@dominik-bb4mz I'm not sure either. But we're talking about inverse square law so, yes, I would imagine only the mass of the star itself matters (no pun intended), not the one of the black hole which is 'too far'.
I discussed this on the side and someone redirected me to the "Sagittarius A* cluster" wikipedia page, which indicates that the fastest of these stars reaches a speed of 8% c.
@@admiralnlson yeah we are talking about inverse square lawa. 8 % of the speed of light is pretty high but I even thought that it would be higher That are about 24 000 km per second. That is 120 times faster than the sun is traveling the milky way. No wonder, it has to move that or it would get pulled to sagittarius a*
Crazy to think that when you look up, everything is in motion. Nothing is ever constant.
Except God.
@@_vortech_ I doubt many will read my comment.
10 to the 38 times less than the weak nuclear force
so not much eh?
Until absolute zero
@@The_Unintelligent_Speculator Good point… but heat death is hypothetical
It really helped superimposing that circle indicating the size of Neptune's orbit in giving a sense of scale. Combined with the date indicator, it really showed how fast those stars were moving around the supermassive black hole.
Really fast
@@jeremyjery01 Fast fast!
I could imagine the chaotic and crazy view in the sky if you were on say a planet or something close to there I can imagine the chaos for those stars to orbit as fast as they do around the black hole indicates how powerful Sagittarius a-star really is
Yep the diameter of that Neptune circle is 60 astronomical units
I'm amazed they could see through all the dust and crap between us and the black hole at the core of our galaxy.
Just wait until JWST has a look at it. It's tuned for IR, which penetrates all that crap fairly well.
@@JCO2002 yeah I am really looking forward to JWST
@@JCO2002 have you heard of ROMAN telescope?
lots and lots and lots and lots of math. If you looked at the raw data it would probably look very similar to a black square
There's barely any crap anyways
Almost fivehundred years ago a man named Galileo Galilei saw our moon through a piece of glass like no one has ever seen it before. Now we watch stars dancing round a black hole. What a time to be alive!
* four hundred years
I bet your life will never be the same again🤣
The fact that S29 star is travelling up to 8,750km/s at its fastest point is mind bending enough. To think it would take roughly 800mil years at that speed to reach the nearest galaxy is difficult to comprehend at all
Big numbers aren't easy nor entertaining for most people to comprehend. I'm with you though
If this isn't tickling that one part of your brain how scary and insane it is I don't know what will. There are freaking huge stars slingshot at insane speeds and force around an extremely massive dark scary spot in the sky. That's so intense to witness from here.
I have same feeling. Nicely described.
It isnt actually moving that fast, the orbit is a timelapse of long exposure photos
@@temerodiavolo470 the star reaches 8% the speed of light or around that number.
Insane, yes. But how is it scary? Nothing that affects us any time soon lol. And how fast are those orbits?
i get the "feeling" something is off here. The distances travelled would be more than should be possible in the time frame.
This is the best no-BS space video I've seen on UA-cam 👍
Have you seen 'NASA Fiery looping rain on the sun'?
It’s complete bs. It’s made up
The speed at which those massive stars are moving is unreal.
They arent moving at all, the horizont event is distorcing the light that we see around it, actually time around it its very slow compared to ours
@@BrunoZ177Uh, no.
@@BrunoZ177some of them are moving at 8% the speed of light. Wtf are you talking about...
According to Wikipedia, the closest star passing near the black hole travelled at 8% of speed of light, which is 24000 km/s - 800 times faster than Earth around the Sun.
Whoever's responsible for the idea of hooking up an infrared device to a telescope should get unlimited kudos for life. This is just short of a miracle being able to see the center of the milky way through all of that dust. And that black hole must be immense to be able to effect that much of a gravitational pull on all those stars. It's kinda like a solar system, with planets orbiting their star except it's not a star....... well, a collapsed star, and instead of planets circling around a sun, its stars orbiting a black hole.
"It's kind of like a solar system."
Flex your imagination a bit, and you will realize that the entire galaxy is orbiting that black hole, not just these closest in. Our star, too, is orbiting that black hole, just as the Oort Cloud orbits the Sun.
If a star passes too close, the differential gravity across the star disrupts the entire solar sphere. It's a tide that rips a star front to back. "Spaghettification" happens.
Some of the star may survive, but much of the mass will join the black hole's accretion disk.
Yeah! And it seems like it's ready to eat everything.......

I spent two days at ESO Paranal as a member of a site search committee. I will never forget lying on my back at night for a couple of hours, watching the guide laser beam from one of the 8-meter scopes pointing right into Sagittarius. The Magellanic Clouds were smiling at me, and the whole experience was like a beautiful dream. But there was sadness, too. When I was an astronomy student, a half-century ago, I spent many cold, uncomfortable hours at the eyepiece of a telescope, tears streaming down my face. Today, I would be sitting in my office, waiting for the data file from thousands of miles away. Not a change for the better, in some ways. But there it is.
Wow it is my dream to become a astronomer. How hard was the education for you? Please tell me🙏
@@dominik-bb4mz Please, please go ahead and pursue your dream. If you don't, you will regret it for the rest of your life. To answer your question, though: for most people (like for me) becoming a scientist is very hard - they make it that way, always pushing you no matter how talented you are. But that is true in other challenging fields: law, medicine, computer science, etc. So, the fact that it will be hard shouldn't deter you. But one word of warning: Astronomy these days is a branch of Physics. That makes it even more exciting than it was when I was starting out. Thus, for example, the large-scale structure of the Universe (the stuff of the Hubble - and , some day, JWST - Deep Field) depends critically on the tiniest-scale properties of the most elementary particles. BUT, if you love Astronomy for the descriptive grandeur, but shy away from the very, very difficult concepts of Physics, you should probably think twice.
May ask why the sadness and tears? The beauty and mystery of the Universe, or just long hours of work?
@@karlkarlsson9126 Perhaps I did not express myself well enough. The tears: from staring at a moving eyepiece for a half-hour or more while manually guiding a photographic plate, in the middle of a cold night. Today's sadness: because some of the romance has gone out of experimental science. A student used to build, maintain, operate and analyze data from his [sic] experiment. That is still true in some areas of Physics, but in too many the research is mostly done on computer screens, while the engineers do not let the students anywhere near the apparatus (which may be worth a hundred million dollars) for fear that they would hurt themselves or break something. There are plusses as well as minuses, of course. For instance, I've been to CERN dozens of times over many years. In the early days, the women that I met there were mostly secretaries. Today, when you visit the experimental areas, the voices that you hear are dominated by those of enthusiastic young women scientists. That's real progress.
@@stefan2292 Thanks for writing all of the above!
It's good to read that you haven't lost your sense of wonder.
Considering that you're able to look up in awe at the vast beauty of the universe and also enjoy it's complexities thru physics...does that make you believe more or less in God?
I love how you can see areas of light being warped by the black hole
Those background music with those star's slingshots around that blackhole give me goosebumps and a empty stomach feelings ! It’s really terrifying event! Imagine if there is a civilization like us in that star and they are watching this event closely: what a horrible feeling they got...... right??
This is not fake and created from actual data. Terrific job!!!
Question:
The flickering light in the center of the black hole... Could there be something there we're not seeing making the light flicker? Perhaps A huge planet facing the system, orbiting as its dark side faces us.
yeah it's pretty nice if it's real data. I was thinking that the flashes are bodies being swallowed. Either luminous from agitation or the unknown cosmic jet effect which can be extremely bright. Imagine if some of these star systems are inhabited. Quite a ride. Fortunately it seems UFO propulsion tech which we would have had already if not for hijacking of our culture would seem to be plenty to leave a planet despite the influence of the black hole.
Its still bullshit. Its flat.
Why blurred then?? There are lots of better quality images that are millions of lightyears farther than this
@@phoebedemontefalcon1423 those clear things are not us having to look through a lot of stuff - also, other reasons.
@@jasonodell79er thanks
It is very exciting to watch the video of this event.
Dude, it's CGI Cartoons. 😑
@@danielmconnolly7 I know, but this is a real event and the universe is such a crazy place.
This is not CGI , it's actual images .
@@danielmconnolly7 This isn't CGI. Just because you can't comprehend doesn't mean it isn't reality. That's why refrain from putting embarrassing comments.
@@danielmconnolly7If it’s CGI, why would they use such grainy detail? 😂
Amazing. Getting clear and clearer views of Sagittarius A* might finally show us images of a massive black-hole distorting the light behind it, like a magnifying glass. Imagine that.
Funny reading this in 2024, when not too long after your comment like a year or so later they had the first picture of a black hole
Imagine civilations closer to the galactic core. Thinking no way there could be habitable planets on the outer spiral arms where we are
Do you realize that radiation levels there are thousands of times what we have out here?
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex If life exists there, the radiation would clearly be accounted for in regards to their evolution, most likely tons of error checking in their "dna", but their "dna" would likely be quad-helix or something, idk. LOL.
@@Synky The galactic core doesn't just have a bit more radiation than out in the arms, it is orders of magnitude higher radiation.
Like nuclear weapon radiation...all the time.
There would be no atmospheres, no water and no organics could form there.
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex What if that’s that’s just our understanding of life and how it’s made up cause that’s how we are… what if they are made differently biologically?
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex Nothing like nuclear weapon radiation. High energy/unstable nuclei produced from nuclear fission decay via β- which release 2 high energy leptons (in this case electrons and electron antineutrinos). These forms of ionizing “radiation” aren’t really radiation, still ionizing though. Either that or the abundance of extremely heavy elements emit charged He-4 (α) nuclei which are ionizing as well. High energy atomic nuclei may emit actual gamma photons, which are real radiation, via IT decay, but this is uncommon.
Radiation produced from SMBH are photons and actual radiation. While still being ionizing, they are nothing like nuclear weapon “radiation”.
Edit: Also, at 67 AU+, Sgr A* radiation is unnoticed due to its lack of a strong magnetic field (no plasmic accretion disk)
That is extremely cool considering that we finally have dim enough answers to find the whip forces and videotape them in action, would have been quite scary seeing stars going in and out of existence simply based off of the limitation of light speed
Whoa! It covers a diameter of Neptune's orbit within 1-2 weeks? That's insane! The S55 star has orbital period is only 12.8 years. The S62 orbits every 9.9 years. I wonder if these stars still have any planets around them or if they were torn off by the black hole..
Hmm, wikipedia says the S62 on its close approach moves at 0.1 speed of light. We should be observing some pretty strong relativistic effects here, no? The light coming from this star should be considerably red-shifted on its close approach compared to when it's on the far end of its orbit.
@@kyjo72682 you'd only notice red shifting if it was moving away from us. Its orbit is perpendicular to our viewpoint, so it does not approach or recede from us
An there’s still more stars behind! How f big is the Universe?😭
Facts 😭😭😭
The truth is probably that space is so big eventually we will reach a point in time where the vastness of space is just to beyond comprehension meaning " All the smartest mathematicians in the world combined couldn't even come up with a number or even give an estimate to describe the vastness of space.
The real question should be "how much will space stretch" because evidence shows at one point it was infinitely small but just started stretching, and no, not expanding because that would assuming its expanding into something. That will probably never be confirmed because space stretches faster than the speed of light making it impossibly to reach an "edge" if there is one
@@PlacingRed It's either infinite, or finite. We don't know. You don't need to have a PhD just to understand the ideas.
This is just our galaxy...
That's one hell of a zoom in, it must have been amazing to discover that black hole.
Wow awesome job 🌙
Em um momento o telescópio usado parece transformado em um microscópio onde passamos a observar algo vivo.
Realmente impressionante poder observar o centro de nossa galáxia de onde se origina todas as outras forças de formação da mesma.
Energias imensas devem existir por ali.
El portugués es un idioma tan transparente que pude entenderlo todo sin hablar una sola palabra.
Mesmerizing and humbling to see.
Great video !
Just Brilliant ❤..amazing deep space data👏
Thank - You .
The insane speed of those stars!
Don't forget that all the stars at the disk we see at the start of the video also orbits that supermassive black hole. That reach of gravity is mind-boggling.
Simply subliminally awesome
Wow! Now THAT'S impressive
That's crazy we can actually see that. The scale of how far away that is messes with your brain.
I love these videos.
Amazing 👏
That is just too cool!
It makes me wonder….
…if there has, or is, a civilization that grew up very close to the black hole at the center of our galaxy (or any galaxy) and what that would have been like to their scientists? How close can a self aware civilization be to a black hole without feeling tremendous gravitational pulls that must affect evolution? Or will evolution find a way and there are civilizations alive on a planet circle stars such as S55?
I don't even know what I just saw but it's amazing!
Amazing Video 😌
wow ... hopefully in a few hundred years, we have the tech to travel to these places. but looking at this video makes me feel i am there . its so peaceful
I think of two things when I see this. The view from a planet orbiting one of those stars would have an amazing view. Also, the time dilation has got to be crazy when they speed by A* at their fastest speed and then slow down at their farthest. Crazy.
Imagine living on a planet orbiting one of the stars that is closely orbiting the black hole. That would be terrifying.
It still blows my mind that the light we're seeing in the centre of our galaxy is at least 100,000 years old.
Im surprised that thing hasn't been teared in pieces
I just regret not being alive for what future generations will see about our universe. It’s like diggin into our creation.
How do they avoid gravitationally interfering with one another at those close distances? Especially when two of them reach perihelion close to the same time?
Deeper you look less you understand what it is you are looking at.
Cara, a velocidade que essas estrelas estão adquirindo é vertiginosa...
sim, mais impressionante ainda é ver a luz se distorcendo em volta do buraco negro
Exstraordinary
It hard to believe that black hole have all swirl control 🌀 of our Galaxy 🌌
Neptune's orbit for scale is mind-boggling scale. Stars whirled arount multiple times the our solar system's distances in matter of days
Amazing!
Dude, the fact that its influence stretches across such an absurdly vast distance, that sucker is pretty damned heavy.
There is some sparks of light coming from sagittarius-A. And it’s amazing to me just how fast the stars are orbiting the black hole 🕳️ 💫. I wonder how planets… if any, fair in such a region.
Watching that quickest star.. Imagine to see her going to the Moon in 12 seconds..turn around and back to Earth in 12 seconds..
Thanks, this deserves millions of views, much more than the fictional and nonsensical garbage of Marvel.
AWESOME!!!
So this is official music of black hole
what sort of stars are these, that are orbiting the black hole? are these larger B stars, or sun-like stars?
I wonder, what would it feel like if you were to stand on that close proximity star orbiting the black hole? The speed that star is moving has to be insane. Would it be like being caught in a tornado? Wind gusts and storms? Would you notice anything at all besides a perspective shift of the black hole?
That’s awesome how we see that
How cool is that!?
1:00 asking myself why i am crying
Marvelous
Amazing
Nice lens mate!
*WOW!!!*
Did it happen a long time ago?
It is far away. Could it be
I'm confused if that small circle beside the text represents Neptune's Orbit (which btw is much smaller than the orbit of that star around BH) or the box is comparable to Neptune's Orbit...if it's the former than it is more interesting coz the star's orbit is many times larger and that distance is just being covered in months!
super amazing
Whoever selected this music track for this video is a f.. GENIUS
ua-cam.com/video/HzJaZ9r1ums/v-deo.html :)
amazing
Totally awesome
@videofromspace
what is current situation as of may 2024 now that james webb is in operating state.
plz do comparison vdo
Me encantó que hayan puesto como referencia la órbita de Neptuno al lado...
O sea, es increíble. Fuera de nuestra imaginación...
Da miedo
it's amazing we even know about this
it exciting,
What equipment was used to record this
Very expensive one
"Shot with an iPhone X"
At what estimated speed are those giant stars doing at the apex of those orbits around Sagittarius A* black hole?
they can reach around 0.8c
Very cool
The sound in this video sounds like the real sound of space!
This is the distance that our grandfather had to cross to go to school.!
Crazy cool.
Can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not, but can you see Sag A*'s gravitational lensing in this?
5 more months till we get some beautiful james webb images of our galaxy and universe
in 6 months time period only 3 objects (2 yellow dots and 1 red dot) and moving but other 2 objects (red dots) not moving at all. why?
As an orbiting Rogue star, I endorse this video.
Flat earthers get mind bogged by these observations.
I can't believe we can resolve this much without Webb. Clearly, ground based astronomy has a place.
That flickering light at the black hole is accretion disc ripping apart matter from the nearby orbiting star.
All simulations of orbits around Sagittarius A (including this one) that I have seen appear to show the orbits of the nearby stars in a plane apparently/approximately perpendicular to our point of view. However, in the center of our galaxy wouldn't it be more likely that orbits around such a massive object would be at almost any angle (the way an electron cloud encompasses the hydrogen nucleus) with our viewpoint being just matter of biased perspective?
woah, interesting, didn't think of this...
would love an explanation on this by someone more knowledgeable
Space can be bent using triple layer dust clouds. Somewhat like exhaust chambers. The first CG. The second direction. The third thrust.
I can only hope that they will discover an instrument that will be able to read/see gravity force in a visible manner, more obvious than how they detect it now by how it affects nearby objects... But in a vissible way like they do detects gamma and other "invisible to naked eye" waves... That will definitelly make any black hole visible.
Gamma rays are still light, thats why we can see them with instruments. Gravity is a force, not a wave, so i dont think it would work the way you think it does.
This is so terrifying
Soooo, was the zoom-in authentic or was it a simulation? Enhanced somehow? I didn't know we could see that deeply into the center of the galaxy.
It hurts trying to comprehend the amount of speed those massive bodies are traveling
Lovely cosmic dance
I was like "ok, so what?" but then I saw the comparison of Neptune's orbit and whooooaaaaa 🤯
Neat!
