    Music free version: • 2016 Review
    2016 was another very good year for the expansion of our knowledge of the Universe.
    Inside the Solar System we have:
    • A solar flare
    • Mars at opposition
    • Juno reached Jupiter
    • Rosetta ended
    In the Milky Way we have:
    • Major data from Gaia
    • Updates on several nebula and star clusters
    • A close look of the Crab Nebula pulsar
    • The discovery of a new Magnetar
    We’ll go into what a magnetar is which will also lead us into a deep dive on how we used radio astronomy to piece together our galaxy’s rotation curve.
    Beyond the galaxy, we have some beautiful photographs of:
    • Nebula inside orbiting galaxies
    • The discovery of Eta Carina twins
    • A skyrocket galaxy
    • A report from a Great Observatories Survey that has changed the number of galaxies we believe exist in the Universe.
    We’ll end with a look at the Palomar Observatory and its new Zwicky Transit Facility that can cover the whole sky in 8 hours; compare one day to the next; and report differences of any kind. It’s great for finding things like distance supernova to nearby asteroids.

    Mr. Butler, normally, although I really do try, and am interested, most excessively technical descriptions of the universe can't hold my interest for long, as I'm not up on complex science. But you have a way of allowing me to really appreciate these things much more than I usually ever could. Thank you. Look forward to more!

    Wow! This is the good news / bad news aspect of u-tube. I started exploring in 2011, and I've just discovered this site in 2017, by just "fluking" it. Somewhat behind on the astrophysics, but just right for the astronomy. For example, Eta Carina as a type of pre-super nova kind of system. Who new? Subscribed in an instant.

    First time viewer & absolutely love it! My only suggestion would be less audio compression. Your voice is often cut at very the start & end of your sentences. This makes it also sound a bit weird without any ambient sound. The content however, love it. I'm now going to head off to watch more :) Thank you

    @jessebauer0110 6 років тому +3

    First off, Thank you for all of your brilliant videos. But The reason for this comment is I wanted to suggest an idea for a new video if you felt up to it. I was wondering if you could explain our orientation in space and why people in the southern hemisphere have a view of the galaxy’s center, and people in the north cannot see it. Also why when the planet travels through a yearly cycle, why we are not able to see different sets of stars. I have come to somewhat understand it myself but only after 30 years of pondering. I believe this would be a successful video and also a very informative one.
    Thank you again Mr. Butler. I watch your videos on repeat. I love the intricate details that you explain, almost as much as I love space itself.

    • @howfarawayisit

    27:50 so incredible seeing so many bunched up together but not the slightest fathomation of how far outward they go, and spread apart they are in general. Itty bitty piece of darkest area. Being so far apart, I wonder how many we'd see if we weren't in milky way but just a figure solar system... Prob only a few dozen or so.
