Sometime back in the 1980s, a supernova went off in one of the Magellan clouds. I heard about an australian astronomer, who began taking these awesome colour pictures of the remnant at regular intervals. I saw an animation made from the first few images in this series, but this guy's hope was that the project would continue for centuries after his time. If something like this had been done with M1 since 1054, we'd have the most awesome vid on UA-cam and beyond by now...!
I'm can't seem to find M1! It's driving me nuts! I've seen a bunch of nearby m-objects but M1 is hard for me to find. I'm traveling to a darker sky for this new moon. I'll give it a try then.
M1 is very impressive in a large scope. While I usually use small refractors, I was able to borrow a bit of time with a 25" Obsession dob at a star party and M1 looked just like the photos (minus the color). The tendrils were very obvious. Thanks for another excellent video. Scott
I saw the M1 from a distance which was blue in the dark sky. It really surprised my location in Indonesia, West Java, Sukabumi, Cikembar, Cibodas village RT01 RW03
@KamekoBruns All the images in the video are actually used with necessary permissions or are out of copyright... though personally (and this is just my view) I must say I think SOPA/PIPA is the thin end of a dangerous wedge and don't mind people being worried about it. I'd rather talk about the Crab Nebula though!
Wow these videos are so amazing! It's so awesome how you go to real places and show us these records and different types of equipment, just something about seeing real things makes it more close to home.
Great video - I already knew a good deal about M1, but learned plenty here. Is there any chance of a subplot video or two explaining astrophotography techniques? Nik Szymanek seems to be good at explaining things, and expositions on equipment, tracking, filters and so on would not be lost on your viewers, especially as practical astronomy is becoming so popular.
The idea that something ~28km in diameter and unbelievably dense can spin 33 times a second is astounding and really reinforces just how amazing the universe is. Without science and human curiosity, we would never know such things!
@seedyf I am not going to take a career in to astronomy but space interests me and i am most fascinated with this nebula, just wanted to make my position clear on where i stand after your comment.
The sheer size of objects like this is what fascinates me. The Crab Nebula is 5 freaking light years across. If that doesnt melt your brain I dont know what will.
@madjimms not really, it's in our galaxy and fairly near by, relative to say, the galactic center, or andromeda galaxy. The video said it happened 1000 years ago and we recently watched it unfold from out earthly perch. According to Wolfram Alpha 1000 light years is 2 % of our galactic radius.
Great video! These objects must distort time also, forming a curvature of spacetime relative to their own energy. Are they forming their own spacetime by slowing up the rate that time flows (time dilation) forming their own future?
Very cool. I was wondering if there would be an abundance of heavy elements in the vicinity of a supernova, as in heavier than uranium and possibly higher than #118? A question for your physicist friends perhaps? How high of an element could exist for a measurable time? Sorry my brain got out of control, but I am curious.
@DeepSkyVideos I see. I'm just not used to seeing the video ends without the Nottingham logo, so i thought this channel may be a bit different from the others in this respect. P.S. Love your NASA T-shirt.
An astronomy question I've had for awhile: If a stream of photons leaves a star a few million lightyears away, and space expands as the light travels to us, is the space in between the photons increased? If so, why don't stars blink? Is it merely a matter of the sheer quantity of photons involved?
Wow! At the end, he was talking about how they have telescopes that can detect gamma radiation coming from M1. That's nuts! That means that basically that supernova POOFED and snowflaked its gifts across this sector of the galaxy. I know its kind of a silly way to think of things but I get a magical tingly feeling when I think of a star erupting and flinging its essence across the galaxy and raining it down on all nearby objects. It's so natural and organic, like a beautiful stellar spore...
Part 1. As far as I am aware the space does increase but remember that this same expansion is shared by the rest of the universe too so everything you could say just gets bigger together. I think you should view the travelling light as a wave rather then a particle and we know already that movement within the universe causes the wave-length of the light to shift one way or another. From this we can tell via red shift that distant objects in the observable universe are accelerating away from us.
@otakucode I imagine the space between photons is increased, but the sheer number of photons, the speed at which they travel, and the (in-)capacity of the eye to detect such a minute difference in spacing means you would never notice the difference.
@xJayJayx995 Yes mate, the telescope tracks the target and corrects for relative motion so the rotation of the Earth etc is taken out giving a stable platform.
I can't wait for m101, looked very interesting from other videos! YOU guys are the greatest most intelligent original videos I have found! Meghan grey is beautiful and Mike merrifield is my favorite!
Part 3. However if space time as a whole all expanded together then it would still measure 800nm as everything would have expanded together so everything would still be the same 'size' as it was before in relation to the things around it. Kind of like saying this road is 10 meters long as measured by this 10 meter measuring tape. Space time expands and both those 10 meters increase in size by the same amount so to the person measuring it, it would still be the same size.
@assimilation I think i'm correct saying that the electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces and gravity provide a stronger force holding matter together than the expansive force, which allows matter to be largely unaffected whilst the rest of space-time expands.
Judging from his appearance, I fully expect Nik Szymanek to be the eccentric genius that not only discovers the giant asteroid on a collision course with Earth, but also to be the one who comes up with a crazy, improbable plan to save us all....but just might work. He will of course be played by Jeff Goldblum in the film adaptation.
Question for you, or maybe a topic for a new video... Ive seen only about 3 interstellar movies with the one's youve shown in this video. Why dont they do this more ofter except for telescope cost? Isnt there much more to learn from a video of something then a still image?
I imaged it today myself, for the first time. :) I don’t have the resolution of professionals like seen here, but can make out some of the bigger details. However in my picture it looks way greener, than most other pictures I’ve seen. Any idea why?
By "Two minute exposure", does he mean the telescope collects the light for 2 minutes? And if that's what it means wouldn't the target object move slightly?

Is there a link to that video? It sounds super interesting

Have you found it since?
I would like to see the shockwaves of the pulsar over a period of 10 years or more
Yes, someone NEEDS to do this.
How it is possible they did not do it already??
i love the contrast between astronomy and history that you put in this vid, really awesome
Loving these deep sky videos. Really informative and fun to watch. Thank you Brady.
This Nebula Is My Favorite
It’s so Colorful.
Where’s Phil?
Epic video, even better than that, no unnecessary theme music, legit!
‘So Phil, is it?’
I am actually a Finance student but I love the sixtysymbols (the bits i can understand) and I am enjoying these also. Great work brady, keep it up
The CRAB Nebular is "Buster CRAB's" favorite star and chosen emblem!Great Video Presentation!
M1 is very impressive in a large scope. While I usually use small refractors, I was able to borrow a bit of time with a 25" Obsession dob at a star party and M1 looked just like the photos (minus the color). The tendrils were very obvious. Thanks for another excellent video. Scott
SLAP Astronomy that’s awesome. In my 10 inch dob it’s barely visible
I saw the M1 from a distance which was blue in the dark sky. It really surprised my location in Indonesia, West Java, Sukabumi, Cikembar, Cibodas village RT01 RW03
Loved the video. Can't wait for the next one!
what are you doing in this comment section
Wow! Can you keep up this level of quality trough the whole catalog? Great start for the series.
This one one of the favorite channels on UA-cam.
Amazing video. If only this was the stuff we taught our kids in public schools. Thanks for the education! I will share with as many are interested.
Really interesting video! I just love the way Mike Merrifield explains :) Keep up the great work!
I can’t imagine how much effort goes into these kinds of videos.
How on earth has this video only 366k views?? This is great. M1 is so beautiful
@KamekoBruns All the images in the video are actually used with necessary permissions or are out of copyright... though personally (and this is just my view) I must say I think SOPA/PIPA is the thin end of a dangerous wedge and don't mind people being worried about it.
I'd rather talk about the Crab Nebula though!
Where’s phil and his milkshake
This is an excellent introduction to the set. Kudos.
Wow these videos are so amazing! It's so awesome how you go to real places and show us these records and different types of equipment, just something about seeing real things makes it more close to home.
Outstanding summary suitable for all ages and levels of knowledge. Well done.
@Squagnut I think you'll find we have plenty to say about astrophotography, especially with Nik who is VERY good at it!
@DeepSkyVideos I'm looking forward to a ten minutes long video on M40. :-)
keep up the GOOD WORK mate! cheers from NY!i will follow your videos as you go on! interesting stuff i didnt know until now
When you finish the Messier objects, please do videos for the NGC and IC catalogues!
Great video - I already knew a good deal about M1, but learned plenty here.
Is there any chance of a subplot video or two explaining astrophotography techniques? Nik Szymanek seems to be good at explaining things, and expositions on equipment, tracking, filters and so on would not be lost on your viewers, especially as practical astronomy is becoming so popular.
thank you!
Well done Brady and team. Loving your work!
I'm quite pleased with myself that I find this kind of knowledge about our universe fascinating.
How lucky we are to see this. Imagine bringing Messier from the past into our present-- here, Charles, check it out!
Can you zoom in on the dq-like restaurants so that i can see phil
The idea that something ~28km in diameter and unbelievably dense can spin 33 times a second is astounding and really reinforces just how amazing the universe is. Without science and human curiosity, we would never know such things!
Great video, Excellent quality and rich in content.
@seedyf I am not going to take a career in to astronomy but space interests me and i am most fascinated with this nebula, just wanted to make my position clear on where i stand after your comment.
I am so excited about these videos.
i had this as one of my screen savers for a couple of years
had no idea of the history behind it until now
@4jonah you'll be interested in the last minute or so of the video I upload on Thursday!!!
I was hoping we'd see Keith.
Won another subscriber. Love these videos.
The sheer size of objects like this is what fascinates me. The Crab Nebula is 5 freaking light years across. If that doesnt melt your brain I dont know what will.
Where it all began...
yes, the first: nope, it is not a comet. 😂
@TheDingiso no, the the Nottingham guys are pretty important... I'd hate to be doing it without them.
@madjimms not really, it's in our galaxy and fairly near by, relative to say, the galactic center, or andromeda galaxy. The video said it happened 1000 years ago and we recently watched it unfold from out earthly perch. According to Wolfram Alpha 1000 light years is 2 % of our galactic radius.
They won't all be this long... The Crab is pretty interesting!
@TheDingiso cheers... yes no Nottingham logo on these ones... But still give them some credit! ;)
where's phil
Drinking the all new 99cent milkshake from Dairy Queen
I mean it looks similar to the formation
Great video! These objects must distort time also, forming a curvature of spacetime relative to their own energy. Are they forming their own spacetime by slowing up the rate that time flows (time dilation) forming their own future?
@Meb8Rappa it would be quite a sight, I imagine. Make a good Deep Sky Video too!
@DeepSkyVideos The longer the better! Are they going to be weekly?
Incredible work 🙏

I want to see a time-lapse video of the pulsar now!!!
@Tilaron love it!

i did a observation project on M1 in one of my astronomy classes!
@DeepSkyVideos where? Looking for it. have you'e done one on Adramada?
@xJayJayx995 Yes mate, the telescope tracks the target and corrects for relative motion so the rotation of the Earth etc is taken out giving a stable platform.

Any chance on a video on quasars staring Paul Francis?

good stuff brady, goooood stuff!
There was a supernova(?) at the end of August 2013. Has DSV been keeping track of this?
Question for you, or maybe a topic for a new video...
Ive seen only about 3 interstellar movies with the one's youve shown in this video.

Awesome. My new favorite channel, well, second to sixtysymbols that is :D
great work!
Awesome! thanks for this amazing video!
So, phil, Is it?
By "Two minute exposure", does he mean the telescope collects the light for 2 minutes? And if that's what it means wouldn't the target object move slightly?
question, you see everything through the computer? or it telescopes. please answer
very interesting stuff !
It'd be so incredible to be alive to see one of these events from earth.
@DeepSkyVideos I don't mind the length. The more info. the better.
Could you do a video on Hoag's Object?? :)
brady, u r amazing...loved the video
Great video by the way DeepSky folks :)
Superb.
1:21
moves telescope up 8 inchs, when really that far away it's probably like 100 Trillion light miles.
What are you talking about poped in to existence is exactly the perfect choice of words
GREAT video !!! ...
Very nice!
Awesome! Keep it up..!!
Neutrinos are even less massive than neutrons. In fact, it's quite difficult to prove that they have any mass at all.
If the rest are half this interesting, I'm willing to bet(and hope) there will be more than 110 videos.
Awesome!
So Brady, this channel is not the University of Nottingham's,is it?
