    In this final segment of our “How far away is it” video book, we cover the structure of the visible Universe as we currently know it.
    We start with some galaxy and galaxy clusters beyond our local superclusters, including: Abell 2029 with its supermassive galaxy IC 1101; Quasar Markarian; a massive cluster gravitationally lensing a more distant cluster; El Gordo; some distant supernovae remnants; gravitational lensing in giant galaxy clusters like Abell 1689, Abell 68, and more. We then cover dark matter discovery in the Coma cluster and evidence for it in the Bullet cluster. We see a gravitationally lensed supernova;
    Next, we cover slowly expanding space and the impact that has on measuring distances using GN-z11, currently beyond the visible horizon, as an example. We also cover how recent redshift measurements from distant Type 1a Supernovas have provided evidence that the expansion is accelerating. We explain how this leads to the concept of ‘Dark Energy’ by examining the concept of a cosmic scale factor and how it changes over time. With this we introduce ‘cosmological redshift’ as a measure of the expansion.
    We then cover the creation of the Cosmic Background Microwave (CMB) radiation and what that tells us about the formation of galaxy walls around great voids. We then cover some of the recent galaxy surveys that are helping us understand the fabric of the visible Universe. These include the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey of 52,000 galaxies out to 3 billion light years, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that mapped one million galaxies. We show the 3D supercomputer video that shows the fabric of the Universe is like a web of galaxies with massive voids. We show some of the galaxy surveys that show this web-like structure.
    We conclude with a review of the cosmic distance ladder and our last adjustment based on cosmological redshift. And we end with Edwin Hubble’s own words on the limits of our knowledge.

    There's so many documentaries and divulgative series on various networks, NONE of them compares with your videobooks in terms of clarity, details, images, careful selection, background study. If you are doing all of this by yourself, with no staff to research and support your work in all the phases of production, then you are nothing short than amazing and you deserve your place among the great recognized science communicators, from David Attenborough to Carl Sagan and so on. This is just to say David that you have my greatest admiration, and I sincerely hope your work will find its way to mainstream television, to be able to reach the wider public.

I wouldn't rule out Mega Earth humans out so fast. Trillions of stars and planets in our universe we barely scratched anything , heck we don't even know if Alt dimensions exist but we all like to say yeah it probably does. Plus these humans could've inhabited the world earlier and reproduced on that planet.

      @@IntergalacticCherry Yes, but we don't really know how big of a fluke life is here. What if the only reason we're here is the Thea impact hitting the planet at just the right speed and angle to create the moon and get the Earth spinning? Venus doesn't spin because is never had an impact like that, and just look at the conditions there.
      How likely do you suppose that is? Maybe it cancels out 5-10 of your zeroes over there, and it's only one of the many, many things we don't know.

    I've watched this video six times now and I still cannot wrap my head around the size of some of these galaxies. When you think about the fact that with current technology it would take humans 6,300 years to get to even the nearest star outside our solar system. That fact alone is mind melting and that's just the distance to one single star in our tiny Galaxy not to mention how far and big some of these galaxies are it's at absolutely unfathomable. We will never be able to wrap our heads around how big the universe is ever.

    It’s VERY VERY rare to come across such content that illustrate things that we may understand at the superficial level but aren’t able to explain or give such examples to make another person understand what we do. That’s cos we ourselves don’t understand what we think we understood.

    Dear David Butler, your explanation of the astronomic phenomena is EXCELLENT. Knowing that our human existence within this wonderful and huge area of an infinity of galaxies is really without any importance. I also know, that our UNIVERSE has precisely the diameter of the SCHWARTZSCHILD- Radius R= 2 GM / c^2 which is equivalent to the Black Hole defined by the Matter and the Gravitational Constant of ALL Dark and Known Matter of 'the Universe'. This means our 'Universe' is just one SINGULARITY within the INFINIVERSE :

    Probably the best videos of the universe ever out there, and this is an understatement!

Compact, succint and the reference point to begin the journey of the understanding of the infinite universe.
