  • M89 (or NGC 4552) appears a very "round" galaxy - but looks can be deceiving. Featuring Dr Meghan Gray.

    There is a non-zero chance that there is a parallel universe where the most prominent astronomer in the world is Brady Haran, and therefor all galaxies are classified using some sort of food related terminology.

      Hubble's galaxy classification system is not a tuning fork; it's a wishbone.

    • @NeonLuvBar
      @NeonLuvBar 7 років тому

      A wishbone is more like a V shape than a Y. The stem is quite short. Either way it's just as subjective as the classification system itself.

  • @Everest314
    @Everest314 7 років тому +1

    Do we actually know why/how galaxies can have bars? Intuitively I would say that that wouldnt be a favourable state and that the bar should be collapsed into a sphere over time. Or is that what happens and when we see a barred spiral galaxy we're just looking at it too early for the centre to have settled?
    Maybe a question for another video?

  • @tfsheahan2265
    @tfsheahan2265 7 років тому

    So Brady, Dr. Meg,
    I haven't stumbled upon any explanations for barred spirals, of which ours is considered one. How discernible is ours from inside (our view) as compared from outside, face-on? How did astronomers come to believe the milky way is barred? Or has this already been shown, and I just haven't encountered it?

    Couldn't we be looking at just a regular elliptical that's tilted towards us so its major axis appears to be the same size as the minor axis?
    As Bradley said, redshift data would give us a better idea as to the object's actual shape.

    Spherical galaxies are shaped by their strong electric field. Spiral galaxies are shaped by their strong magnetic field. Other regular shaped galaxies are intermediate and are shaped by both their magnetic and electric field. The bulb in the middle of some spiral galaxies is the region where the electric field overpowers the magnetic field wrt shaping the galaxy.
    Standard EU stuff that every astronomer should know, but it never gets mentioned in non-electric cosmology groups.

    If Messier was using a simple telescope, how was he able to tell the difference between an E0 galaxy and a single star? They're both spherical and uniform

      @thisisnotdom 7 років тому +1

      TheAutoban1 Stars don't look like spheres through a telescope. They are so far away that even with very large telescopes, they just look like point sources. Galaxies actually appear much larger in the sky.

    I find such matters as galaxy classification of interest, largely, but that said, I can't imagine a more boring way of explaining it. On the Dull Scale, I rate this video around 4/10. I realize that, at a glance, 4/10 doesn't sound too dull, sounds like maybe 40 % dull. Wrong. Any, and I repeat, ANY percentage of dullness is a bad thing where internet videos are concerned. For me to rate it as I have means that although the subject itself had merit, and it was addressed (however blandly), I was so bored I didn't finish the video, and in fact not even a half of it. Thank you.
