Betelgeuse Star

[klsuperman]

VY Canis Majorus compare to it which is bigger?

[SmexyPC]

you can fit in 350,000,000 suns in betelgeuse. incredible

[mosquitobight]

I envy the future generations who will get to see the show when that sucker blows apart. We are overdue for a really good supernova.

[SOyouTHINKurFUNNY]

my dick never felt any smaller

[GiromCalica]

No one will stalk me here... Thanks.

[lueljohn]

@GiromCalica I SAW U! >:D

[GiromCalica]

@lueljohn NUUUUUUUUUU Why me? OH WELL WHO CARES? NOW ABOUT THE "Best I got", I UPLOADED A PIVOT ANIMATION. IT MAY LOOK CRAPPY, BUT JUST WATCH IT.

[GiromCalica]

@lueljohn Also, can you put me to the best list now?

[lueljohn]

@GiromCalica u must prove me that ur not a troll.

[GiromCalica]

@lueljohn I don't troll, I do stuff.

[maxwel411411411]

This video is amazing. It really gives you an idea of how small our Sun is compared to other stars.

[TheEnoughisEnough]

It amazes me that this star may have exploded in a massive supernova 100's of years ago and we are just waiting to see it!

BTW the generally accepted distance from earth is 640 light years not 430 as yr video states.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 BETAL-G|EEUSE not j sounding g.

[etacarinae99]

@halomaster22323 There is no need to tell me how to spell Beteigeuze, Halomaster. The star was named long before American or Japanese people got to know. So just leave it as it is.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 It was around waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before your ass (&mine).

[Video85Man]

yea... if that thing explodes, we're all dead

[halomaster22323]

O_O

[azezel2311]

cool. I want to mine it.

[tracycaldwell]

Would u be able to see Betelgeuse & Canis Majoris from the sky?

[elazar79]

Super Star??

[TedLee810]

Is this the same animation as you VV Cephei video?

[wavepsychic]

Who the hell can pronounce that!

[TedLee810]

@wavepsychic Beatle-juice. THAT'S how you pronounce it

[TedLee810]

@etacarinae99 "Morons"?

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 It's Betelgeuse now. [betaLg/eeuse].

[halomaster22323]

Beteigeuze, Beteigeux, Betelgueze, & Betelgeux are all wrong now. It's Betelgeuse with an S at the end. So its called Betelgeuse. sound your S.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 Wtf I live in America But I'm from Japan & I don't pronounce it like Beteigueze. I pronounce it like Betelgeuse not Beetle Juice. It's very simular to how you say it but Betelgeuse is correct. Without an I & without a Z.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 People from like 1900's used to say Beteigeuze.

[etacarinae99]

@halomaster22323

and u really think, pronounciation like "Beatle Juice" is correct for this red supergiant???? If YES, then it is only american or japanese arrogance and incompetence to spell it the right way, but not correct at all.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 Nah you don't say it like Beetle Juice you pansy. You say (kinda like you're saying it Only with the S & Not the I &- OK NVM).

[halomaster22323]

sadasfdsfs

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 Gayhole.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 See you're from England right? & I'mn from Japan. Go search up on google how to say "Betelgeuse". (BTW it's my favorite star).

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 You wasted all this time showing people how to say Betelgeuse.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 You wasted all this time showing people how to say Betelgeuse. It serioulsy doesn't matter so GO SEARCH or just tell my dad.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 Btw English people aren't morons. Stop being racist.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 Btw English people aren't morons. You're glad you speak English because you are the only english moron. Stop being a racist bitch.

[halomaster22323]

@etacarinae99 Go FUCK YOURSELF AND LEAVE ME ALONE. EITHER I WANT FRIENDS OR NOT BECAUSE I HAVE A REAL HARD LIFE!

[halomaster22323]

@TedLee810 Lol.

[sommif]

Great upload. Very nice work.

I work outside at night and watching Orion steadely from September. Would be awseome if its left shoulder flared up one night.

I like the soft and mellow way you are providing the facts in this video. It actually is one off the biggest stars known. Very, very good stuff.

my best

[chloefgl]

i thought the biggest star was CY canoris majoris!

[Guitar14k]

@chloefgl it is. several 100 times bigger than betelgeuse

[Gattberserk]

@Guitar14k

VY Canis Major, the largest star known, is only 2-3 times larger than Betelgeus in diameter, which correspond to 8-27 times the volume at most.

[KingWing777]

cant wait till we see it go boom, hopefully in our lifetime.

[betelgeusesupernova]

betelgeuse must die!

[betelgeusesupernova]

betelgeuse must die!

[Neopulse00]

This is a program called Celestia. Cool download.

[ezeta69]

betelgeuse is already dead

[david959100]

well VY canis majoris is 2.6 billion times greater than the volume of our sun... hmm lets just say that betelgeuse is the small star and VY canis Majoris is the big star in the picture at 1:02

[157wowman]

@david959100 No, not really... that picture is more like VY Canis Majoris and the sun.

[NANOFORGE]

@157wowman No The sun would'nt even beable to be seen next to Canis Majoris it is that big, this is quite accurate for Betelgeuse's size.

[bingbang3214]

@NANOFORGE nah you are wrong. Betelgeuse isnt that much bigger than the sun

[bingbang3214]

eta carinae is even bigger than betelgeuse at like 100-150 times the size of our sun and that picture makes it look as if betelgeuse is easily over 1000 times bigger than our sun. I have read in many places that betelgeuse is around 20 times bigger.

[bingbang3214]

@157wowman nah you are right

[157wowman]

@bingbang3214 who, me or him?

[kutubu1]

betelgeuse is not very stable, it might go in supernova

[ebrennan111]

and by the way,i saw betegeuse in the sky before

[ebrennan111]

how many lightyears is betelgeuse?

[xxMurderfacexx9]

350,000,000x Bigger than the sun actually!

[ebrennan111]

@xxMurderfacexx9 you are wrong

[xxMurderfacexx9]

@ebrennan111 Wait I WAS WRONG! I keep on hearing 350x-300x

[david959100]

@xxMurderfacexx9 no lol were do u get that from?

[zetrino]

it looks pink to me

[nucliosis]

badass vid

[jb19751]

I really like that song. Can anyone tell me the title?

[stormcsss]

@jb19751 Well, actually i did it myself, about 3 years ago :) And it s*cks tbh

[TedLee810]

@stormcsss Why'd you put "s*cks"?

[bakla3434]

the star named betelguese was the star biggest than the sun and the Earth. so it means, if that size of star is going to hit the Earth, it is possible to not see the even the pieces of our planet.

[killer1302]

the part of 300 million times more volume than the sun is bull sh@t becouse the biggest star known in the milkyway, eta carinea is 300 times the weight or mass of the sun a volume of 300 million times the sun is inpossible

[ChronicMist]

dude, you're clueless lmao....eta carina is shit compared to VY Canis Majoris. and wtf? what has diameter and volume to do with mass? Sun has a diameter of 1 million km, wile VY Canis Majoris has the diameter of about 3 billion km, so that's 3000 times the diameter of the sun, so the volume is incomprehensible by the human mind. gonna send you a PM with a link to a video to make an idea about it

[killer1302]

volume has everything to do wit it: becouse the volume is so extremly big compared to the sun that there are 3 possible explanations:

[killer1302]

1. his mass is millions of times that of the sun, taken that it has the same density of the sun (impossible haviest found yet is 300 times suns mass) 2. the density is absurtely low (impossible as well becouse if you start calculating you would come to the conclusion that its around the same density of stone wich isnt enough for nuclear fusion) 3. we dont understand stars well enough en there might be some other reason why its so bright other than being extremly big

[ChronicMist]

yea, because of the size, the nuclear reactions are very intense, a star this size will live for a few millions of years, and colaps into a black hole without even a supernova. but yea, mass has nothing to do with what I replied to you. I was talking about pure volume

[killer1302]

well the heaviest star found yet: eta carinea (VY i dont count since they havnt figured out the mass yet) she is 300 times the mass of the sun AT MAX explain to me why everywere i look i see its suposed to have a diameter of about 1500 times that of the sun. with such a diameter it has a colume of hundreds of thousands times tha tof the sun so i ask: why is it still only 300 times the suns mass? that would mean a density to low for nuclear reactions

[ChronicMist]

um nope.... the density of a star is calculating with a medium of overall density. at the surface, in the first millions of km, it had a density incredibly small, thousands of times less then our atmosphere, but the core is incredibly dense, it's impossible to calculate it's density. but because the core is so small in ratio with the volume of the exterior "shell", the overall density is small. hope that clear things up.

[killer1302]

you are overstating things: the upper layers of a star are not that well undense (im not from england so my vocabularie isnt really good) im only counting the layers you see that produce light not the immense unvisible outer layer surrounding the star but still i made a calculation for the average density and i hope your not trying to tell me that for example betelgeuze has a average density of more than 25000 times LESS than that of the sun?

[ChronicMist]

yes, the incredibly low density layer that I'm talking about is NOT invisible, it's part of the start you see with your own eyes.

[killer1302]

well my friend the upper visible layer needs a density far bigeer than our atmospher to be able to be so bright. and whenn just for the idea you were right about that would that then couse a star with a averige denisty of 1/25000 of that from the sun?

[ChronicMist]

no dude, they don't have to be dense. just use google to search about it. you'll see that I'm right. or wikipedia, I'm sure you'll find an article there

[killer1302]

well thats my whole poit a star HAS to be extremely dense or it wont have nuclear fusion and also if it isnt dense enough the outer layers will escape into space becouse the density of an object decides the gravity and with such a low density the inner force pointed outward would overcome the gravity

[ChronicMist]

ok...

1. it has to be dense, BUT only at it's center, that's where the nuclear fusion has place, and that's dense, VERY DENSE.

2. outer layers can't escape. it's called GRAVITY

3. not the density decides gravity, but the MASS of that object.

[killer1302]

first point is right second point: reason that a star doesnt collapse any further under its own gravity is becouse of the explosive force from the nuclear fusion (also reason why it collapses at the end of its life whenn that power disapears) 3. a combination of density and mass decide the gravitation. thats why a black hole of about the mass of 10 suns has more gravity then a giant star like eta carinea

[ChronicMist]

that's the way it is, bigger the star, less denser it is. same thing applies to black holes. smaller the black hole, denser it is. another interesting fact about black holes is that the bigger then get, the more oval they appear to be. the universe is a strange place m8

[killer1302]

and nobody knows the density of a black hole there is actually alot of speculation of black holes being a singularity meaning its density is infinitely large

[ChronicMist]

yes, that's why the "density" of it it's calculated by the size of the event horizon, more precisely by it's diameter. ok, now seriously, google it

[killer1302]

well that makes it a irrelivant and non real average density since you know nothing of the real density whenn you just take empty space with you in your calculations making it totally useless as an argument

[ChronicMist]

99.99999999999 % of an atom is empty space. or maybe 99.999999991.everything is speculative or inclines to speculation in our world dude. nothing is sure

[killer1302]

dude dont fail now pls we were having a good dicusion so dont come with the crapo of everything is speculative nothing is sure

come on man i hope you know a black hole does not exist out of atoms even a neutron star already exists of compact atom cores without the empty space dont fail me now

[ChronicMist]

not of atoms, but of smaller particles from which atoms are made. if there wasn't nothing in the black hole, there wouldn't have had mass or gravity

[killer1302]

we know its made of something but of what is unknown and if its idnead a singularity it doesnt even exist out of small particles but out of ifititely condensed energy in its purest form

[ChronicMist]

it can't be a singularity just because that means that it would be infinitely small, meaning that it's gravity would be infinitely big, so all the universe would be it's even horizon, but it isn't. "singularity" it's just a word to explain something incredibly small, that humans can't understand. at least for now :)

[killer1302]

the power would be infititely strong but becouse of the short range of gravity it wont suck up the universe in a certain area the strenght is indeed infinite but becouse of the short range it wont destroy the universe

[ChronicMist]

gravity does not have short range lol. it just becomes weaker by the distance. but it's always there, no mater the distance to that object. how to you think that quasar were found? :P by gravity

[killer1302]

they were found becouse of the massive amount of ligt and radiation it emmits gravity DOES have a limitit distance

[ChronicMist]

no, gravity does not have a limit. but at certain distances is negligible. but it's ALWAYS there. no mater the distance

[killer1302]

you were right i did some research on it however this ends in a strange situation since the same sources that say that gravity has an unending range say that a black hole is a singularity. and i have to agree with you that with an infinite density it must have an infinittely strong gravity coucing the whole universe or at least the matter to fall into it at the spee do light

[shutup735]

@killer1302 if the power is infinitly strong, it goes on forever, with infinit power, no matter how far....

[killer1302]

dude read my last comment before you react

[crispysmith11]

Betelgeuse looks a bit like the sun in colour (without atmosphere.) You see, it only appears red with atmosphere. Without atmosphere, it appears orange like the sun. Yet it is calassed as a "red" supergiant...hmmm.......

[KirbyNicoDDR]

Fun Fact :

Betelgeuse is pronounced BeetleJuice

[BetelgeuseX90]

@KirbyNicoDDR fuck you, son of a bitch!

[KirbyNicoDDR]

@BetelgeuseX90 What did i do wrong? No need to PMS now.. lol...

[crucialconflict02]

orion's right shoulder :-p

[Anibattor101]

left*

[chrisekz]

nice video <3 good choise of music too :)

[vini0120]

why does everyone keep going on about bigger stars ??? betelgeuse is massive beyond anyones imaginination. i knw there are much bigger stars. but comon peeps lets crawl before we can walk

[gytasassk8]

vy canis majoris is the biggest star known

[clayzee001]

celestia is cool :)

[Hellbopper]

or rigel, vv cephei, v354 cephei... still, has te b admired nd adored.

[xXMikuGirlXx]

this aint got nothin on the vy canis majoris

[Notyouraverageperson]

but it's supernova will.

[xXMikuGirlXx]

but still. when vy canis majoris goes supernova :\ heh....well still it has nothing on vy canis majoris. :)

[Notyouraverageperson]

you'll see betelgeuse's supernova in the daytime it'll be that close. vy canis majoris i'm not so sure of, it's a lot farther away and the dust in between will diminish it. As long as the gamma rays from the supernovas don't turn us into a planetary oven then I don't mind a solar system being deystroyed for a few weeks worth of sightseeing, lol.

[DeepGrey]

You're right but the Pistol Star and Eta Carinae are two of the most massive stars known, so they might have the most powerful supernova explosions. Although they aren't the biggest in volume they have greater mass.

[LiuKang1080]

VY won't go into a supernova, ill go into a black hole.

[xXMikuGirlXx]

i know o.o

[tietokone222]

It just doesnt come a black hole. Its gonna supernova and then it becomes a black hole.

[TJBSports1]

Celestia =D

[grimwatcher]

I'm sorry I meant pop the cork, lol I that first imagery is more vivid though

[grimwatcher]

the process repeats, except every new nuclear reaction happens faster and faster (silicon, the last element before it reaches iron if I recall correcty, burns in a copuple of seconds!). and then youg et you supernova, any way, Betelgeuse appears to show a 15% decrease in radius, which means it must be contracting, which it's about to poop the cork any time soon

[grimwatcher]

there's actually some proof that betelgeuse is going supernova any second now. See when a star that big runs ou of hydrogen , it will start to contract, without the thermonuclear fusion it contracts, pressing on the remaining helium inside intil it reaches the temperature necessary to start the fusion of helium into carbon. That's the point at which Betelgeuse is now.

[nyc10101]

we r s screwed

[1DRAgoooN]

I thought VY Canis Majoris is the biggest one

[Vexoro]

VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star known to mankind,

but remember, in this video it doesn't say Betelgeuse is the biggest one.

plus, this video is from 2008,

as far as i remember, Canis Majoris was discovered in 2009.

[1DRAgoooN]

No, I watched a video last year with Canis Majoris in it.

[jeffrey200800]

@1DRAgoooN No, Betelgeuse has 950 100 000 km across vs 2 800 000 000 for vy canis majoris!

[Anethredon]

No, some people made a video of Planet and Stars size in 2008 and included VY Canis Majoris -.-

[Vexoro]

thanks for the correction.

[nemesisniN]

I think it was 2007 :P

[G2DAMAX]

my wife loves that cartoon show...."Moon Tiara Power !!!"

[KadoatieXD]

music reminds me of Sailor Moon :)

[quakize]

on its last fuel its burning hellium which causes it to strink and to be very unstabie

[Luisda1984]

¿Hellium? I think that Betelgeuse now is burning carbon in its core, and hellium in a layer around the core. Fos this reason, this star may explode in some point of next 1000-10000 years. It will happen when its core gets full of iron.

[Tal7765]

I wonder how big it explodes, and how massive the black hole would be...hmm... let me see... super massive

[JCDlover93]

barbie planet lol

[demoix]

its star lol

[JCDlover93]

ok then barbie star then....looks like a giant bubblegum XD

[4568ASDK457]

celestia......¨-¨

[therandomkings101]

celestia????????????????????

[Ericksantana6]

Yes. this is Celestia, amazing great astronomy software to explore the universe in 3D!

[xeviousg]

yea, I love that program,

[bombarderoazul]

When Betelgeuse becomes a supernova, it will outshine everything in the night sky including our moon, that will be an amazing sight. It probably has exploded already, since light takes so long to reach us!

[MartekTheSuperhero]

The star is shrinking 1% each year so far astronomers reported this today

[sushanalone]

@bombarderoazul i just hope if it squirts it misses us =)(gamma ray burst)

[BYfodas]

well then for the other Spam comments, heloooo Betelgeuse is going to become a super nova if u don't Know! ¬¬ and he haven't said 'Betelgeuse is the size of our solar system!!' is thousand times bigger than this!

I've loved the video, it seems pretty sad lookin that a supergiant like that is going to die soon! T_T

[kindness4]

We can fit 7 quadrillion earths into VY canis majoris!!

[gordonfan190]

This star is said to be the size of out solar system.

[CATMARK1]

Um...wrong.

The largest known star (VY Canis Majoris), if our sun were to be replaced by it, would only extend to the orbit of Saturn. And though very large, Betelgeuse is dwarfed in size by Canis Majoris.

[gordonfan190]

Sorry. I meant in diameter, not size. That is correct.

[CATMARK1]

Eh, didn't mean to come off as an ass. Sorry about that.

[discovery2245]

I seen the history channell talk about this star on the show called the universe.That star is that size because its in its death throws.That star could blow tonight or it could blow 10000 years from now.But it will blow.And when it does an the light from that explosion reaches earth it will be the biggest astronomical site ever in the night sky.Thats from the history channell.

[toaCARL089]

rigel star is more bigger than the sun

[zigma65]

incredibly the Sun is more massive than Betelgeuse.

[TheYasinatorTVpage]

yh im the david beckham

[TheMasterTyrex]

this is celestia........i have it :)

[Lachy314]

hooooooollllllyyyyyy ssssshhhhhhhhhiiiiiiittttttt! but i new that

[phred03]

actually not all stars explode and the sun isnt going to go supernova because it isnt massive enough

[teenurban]

the sun is a star and all stars explode

which means that earth will be destroyed due to the super nova of the sun, that could happen in billions of years and then the cycle will begin again

[dahunterfromrune]

lol? what are you 10? thats idiotic. the sun isnt big enough to go supernova. its gona become a red giant then shrink and fade. the sun wont produce a new star. we beleive another star formed our sun. but the sun wont explode due to its size. its outer layers will fly into space then leaving a white dwarf

[discovery2245]

That star was at one time the size of earths sun but when stars like ours reaches the end of its life it begins to swell up.They said on the history channell that star could blow tonight or it could blow ten thousand years from now.But evntually it will blow.

[dahunterfromrune]

i doubt it. stars like our sun consume inner planets then they blow there outer layers into space leaving a white dwarf.wich eventually fades. betelguise was probably about 50 times the size of our sun? possibly bigger. they dont go to extreme sizes. and if u notice the word "super giant" thats bassically red giant for huge stars. our sun will be a red giant. wich is much much smaller.

[discovery2245]

They were talking about that star on the history channell show called the universe which comes on Tuesday nights 8pm est.They said the reason why that star is big is that it is in its death throws.The star is nearing the end of its life.

[nixxxon18]

According to new measurements, Its bigger than previously thought, about 950-1000 times the radius of the SUN

[jenxx06]

nice

[bekam154]

there are bigger stars then this

[MatoroX]

There are bigger stars

[stormcsss]

yes, but i dont say this one is the biggest
