  • Porn for nerds! awesome video.

  • how the fuck is that a ghost?

  • Comment removed

  • i jumped to the end, to make sure nothing was gonna jump out at me

  • anyone come from minecraft? I need some directions on how to get back.....

  • Wow. It's got to be moving pretty damn fast, relatively to how large space is. Imagine that centimeter the pic just moved- that's probably equivalent to millions of miles...and in the span of less than a decade. Pretty damn fast my friends!

  • watching minecraft vids... why am I here?

  • @shadowhacks35 for some reason i ended up here to, weird lol

  • @shadowhacks35 Exactly the same.

  • the title says new .. the video is from 2009 ... the futige from 2004

  • excellent

  • Thats a gorgeous brain, nice activity. haha Avatar

  • Dont loooook at the light.............zap!

  • Dang, Frieza is blowing stuff up again.......guy can never get enough.

  • @lattask8er thumbs up lol

  • so how big was the diameter on start & on the end?

  • shoot it ned! it's coming right for us!

  • @TheMasterOfSounds There is sound in the universe, just not in places without something to conduct sound waves, such as air. I'm guessing that's what you meant?

  • @absolutelyaaron well thats what i meant, there is no sound if youre in space, but in planets, off course. but there is sound in the universe but not for our ears, thats what i meant, maybe i dont know shit, thats what a norwegian astonomer said to me once, maybe i missheard him

  • @TheMasterOfSounds It is common knowledge, that laser beams and lightsabers can be heard in outer space.

  • @TheMasterOfSounds The sound he's talking about isn't actual sound vibrations across matter. It's radiation waves, which are similar though.

  • @MasterAsra Similar yes, but not the same. I meant the sound waves a human can hear. If i can hear radiation waves, then there is sound in the universe. There is sound in the universe, but not for us... Right? Whatever

  • @TheMasterOfSounds Technically... it's a wave, but it's not "sound". You can detect radioactive waves or other waves without them being sounds. Sound is specific.

  • 2000 ; 2002 ; 2004 ; 2007; and again: 2000 ; 2002 ; 2004 ; 2007; and again: 2000 ; 2002 ; 2004 ; 2007; and again: 2000 ;

  • it looks like it's not going very far, but as far as I understand, it's moving millions and millions of miles in each frame. even if it IS moving slower than expected, it's still moving pretty fast, wouldn't you say?

  • @TheMediocgeForce...very possible... and they are gazing

    back towards us... as they ponder the specticle in the

    grande dancebetween 'our' MilkyWay & Adromeda...

    must be beautiful from their perspective...

  • what? no slo mo intant replay?

  • ... the thing about space and time... is that it is so-oo-oo slow-ww-ww. ...given the distances of the universe and the energies whether they are concentrated or weak... even @ c light takes a lon-nng time to get anywhere... ...some of what we see here on Earth imaged upon a primary mirror or objective lens- happened eons ago- and that object, today, is entirely different- maybe dispresed by the time its' light reaches us. What we see in the night sky is... well, old...
  • @SittingMooseShaman exactly. for all we know, there's a new planet there.

  • gamma rays not a ghost

  • hello! watch my video (the creation of universe), in my channel: 2knowfun2, and u will understand the creation of universe, creation of life and creation of water... in 3 min! everything is very easy to understand! i have produced all the videos by myself... dont forget to subscribe, rate and commment

  • COOL

  • holy crap that is growing fastttttt

  • if u like supernovas u should try bejeweled twist

  • @firehero6666 lol i searched that u cunt

  • That looks so cool...

    I wonder if I could see that if I ate sum shrooms... :D

  • @Dragonshear yes with a telescope. hell you could see it with a telescope and smoking crack i guess

  • Get laid!!!

  • Beautiful.

  • amazing colors and none of that is man made, what a sight

  • @danny5766

    uhm the colors on your screen are basicly man made.

  • @mitsukai89 umm r u stupid?, the colors of the star ain't man made r they, so what if the colors on my screen r man made, whats that got to do with this?

  • @mitsukai89 u twat this was not made on a computer it is just a picture from a camera,

  • mitsukai colors aren't man made they're natural occurring the only way man could make colors is if he mixed many colors that you couldn't see naturally so the colors on your screen are colors that have existed through light and have been around ever since light has so don't call other people stupid if you cant realize that

  • no, the way they are produced on your screen is man made the colors as how you see them is not. i suppose next you'll be saying that man created fire as well? or that man invented magnetic fields?

  • @weegar

    trolling much? my point was hes not looking at a star hes looking at a screen.

  • no trolling would be going to your page and or insulting you for no reason at all i have done neither. you on the other hand have. if your trying to prove your point why not explain to him? tell him exactly what you mean, don't insult him because he didn't understand what you meant

  • People like you are the reason the United States is falling behind most developed nations.

  • LoL yeah yeah you say that...But what do you know dweeb...Suck my nuts queer bait

  • I know there's more to life than picking fights on Youtube.

  • Comment removed

  • What you have here is an animation construxcted from four still frames taken over a 7 year period. The pictures are of X-Rays, shifted down into the visible color band by a computer. It depicts the super-hot gasses of the explosion expanding into the space around the former star. The supernova appeared on Earth in 1667, and was possibly observed only by John Flamsteed, who thought it was a normal star. It is about 10,000 ly away.

  • nobody cares

  • Mr. Beaver says, "Duck and cover."

  • @truvelocity mr beaver says duck and cover lol luv tht one

  • th universe changes in so many ways that even the best of our abilaties will not come close to some answers .......science can proove all but at the moment it can only proove so much..and this i beleive to be real ...there are suns out there that will do this and i recon this one has but science is the key and the answer

  • I believe this is imagaes extrapolated from measured radiations (Gamma rays, etc) and the data entered into a 3dim space plot is what makes this vid.

  • are they trying to say this is actual telescopic video or a recreation? becasue the graphics look like the video "new animation lets you fly through a super nova".....probably animation base on data.... who knows?

  • considering many cosmic processes take millions, sometimes billions of years, this seems to be going very fast

  • I guess so, but you've got to remember that a Super Nova is a much faster paced EXPLOSION! :D

  • It's comin' right at us! Close the window!

  • Close the window????? lol!!!

  • lol

  • Honey, Go back in the house. Ill get the shotgun.

  • ahahahah lol lmao! XD

  • before i even watch it - its the pumpkin head right at the top of the supernova- my cousin noticed that like a year ago cuz that pictures my background LOL

  • yeah buggy new swf player version

  • woa if u squint ur eyes it looks like a dragon

  • omg how come so many of this channels videos wont work? for me it plays but it pauses and plays really fast and flickers the loading icon in the middle of the video and there is no audio

  • yeah  by me too

  • Same

  • samething here

  • yeah i gotta say what the heck. its like some force doesnt want us to watch it. but i find it all so interesting. quick fix i found is i cant let the video end i let it load a little and click an already loaded part of the bar. still i have the same problem and my quick fix doesnt always work either.

  • @77josh77 this video does work. it is flickering because new pictures were added every second, its not a video just a bunch of pics

  • @77josh77 coz hes gay

  • Comment removed

  • @77josh77 how can you expect audio? in the vacuum of space, everything is totally silent

  • @77josh77 you have to update your adobe flash player to watch the videos. 

  • hm...very mysterious....could be a super nova or red giant out aura layer. i am not yet tottaly sure.

  • let's face is

    all you people acting like you know what you're talking about

    you probably don't

    nobody knows for sure

    about any of it

    not yet

  • Engwadur

    knows something for sure ^^

  • It's very pretty.

  • i like ghosts!

  • That's how much it moved in 7 years.

  • so.......wat happened

  • a supernova star goes boom... and expands

  • There's no such thing as a 'supernova star'. A massive star's outer-layers expand and it becomes a super nova.

  • oh...

  • That might not be ABSOLUTELY correct... but that's generally how it goes.

  • To add to it...

  • a supernova occurs in massive stars. The outward pressures generated by nuclear fusion in the core of these stars prevents gravitational collapse. After fusing hydrogen to helium stars begin fusing heavy elements. The heavier elements require more energy to create and I think the fusion rate begins to decline. At a certain point, the fusion of heavy elements no longer produces enough enery to prevent gravitational collapse. The core of the star contracts violently turning into a black hole.

  • I heard from my physics professor whose focus is astronomy that the fusion rate speeds up significantly. The last fusion process lasts like a day, then the supernova happens.

    Also the result can sometimes be a neutron star.

  • And the collapse of the core into a black hole creates a very powerful showave, a supernova, that throws off the outer layers of gas/plasma.

  • to 'expand' upon your point; Our suns outer layers will bloat into a red giant and instead of collapsing and rebounding off a hyper-compressed core explosively [like a supernova] it will merely continue to bloat and eventually float off forming a more or less spherical "planetary" nebula with a chewy white dwarf center.

    if i recall correctly stars that nova/supernova, forming neutron stars or black holes have to be at least 1.4 and 1.6 solar masses respectively.

  • That's absolutely correct.

  • thats very interesting =)

  • (Quote off of nerdyharry) "to 'expand' upon your point....Blah blah blah blah ....bloat and eventually float off forming a more or less spherical "planetary" nebula with a chewy white dwarf center."

    Chewy?

    Well i have to say in all my years as a white dwarf taste tester i havent yet come across a chewy white dwarf.

    Na im just kidding, your knowledge on white dwarfs is very descriptive and may be very correct! =)

  • I'm just a mere mortal, but it's really cool to watch these vids and have people who know what they are talking about explain it so we mortals can understand. Thanks!

  • thats god

  • thats my fish you bastard

  • it`s actually my balls !

  • I asked my 4 yr old daughter ' how long does forever go for? ' and she replied ' all the way to xmas'

  • C'est tres beau, is it not?

    or for the grammar nazi's out there

    Is it not very beautiful?

  • No, its a single star exploding.

  • While some may say that this sort of thing proves the existence of a god, in my opinion, i say it just furthers the belief that there might not be a god. What all-loving creator would make things like this occur, but never let us, his own creation, see something as majestic and breath-taking like this first hand.

    this is open for a civilzed debate, if anyone is interested.

  • yea i don't think we should debate on this, believe me Ive done it before and it turned into a flame war, could you not post things like this? Thats a subject that most people don't want to talk about.

  • Absolutely. I didn't mean to cause a fuss. I just live in the hickest of all towns, and I'm looking for a little educated, and civilized talk for once.

    But I will respect your wish.

    Thanks =]

  • no, thank YOU. I hate flame wars =\

  • people can debate what they like. if someone doesnt like it, dont join in the debate. i think this is just another step towards fully understanding the universe, reducing the psycological need for supernatural beings and gods

  • People can debate what they like but do you like watching science videos and on every damn one their arguing for or against God. Honestly do they expect to prove or disprove God on youtube?

  • Just healthy debate, dude. We're not trying to prove or disprove anything. Nobody started any argument against god. Or for god. I wouldnt've even opened the topic up for debate if I knew that uptight assholes would ruin it for everyone.

  • Exactly its like a bio-cell... One big organic expanding multiverse, like the inside of a living organism. Infinity as a Russion doll effect our universe could be a cell in the body of a celestial being an so it goes on.. Wow good weed this!

  • wow 2 years for such minimal movement...and to think that this is probably expanding at thousands of miles per sec

  • that's definitely not minimal movement. you have to remember that we're viewing this explosion at stellar distances, so the fact that we can see ANY movement at all is astounding. That stuff must be really MOVING.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the tiny shift we see here is actually an expansion of the original diameter by several times the diameter of Pluto's orbit.

    Does anyone know the scale of this explosion?

  • Haha, I'm guessing that expansion is several HUNDRED times the diameter of Pluto's orbit

  • well, 4900 Km/s for 7 years (220752000 secs) should be some 7200 AU. Pluto semi-axis orbit is about 40 AU. So it should be some 180 time pluto's orbit

  • close enough ; )

  • why on every space video is there religous comments?

  • peoples earthly identities being threatened by enormous acts of nature *ahhhh superstitions

  • Because religious cunts have to throw god into everything.

  • Seriously....people need to either expand their idea of what god is or crawl into a box.

  • i agree. it gets a bit boring to look at the comments of EVERY science video, only to find knucklehead atheists and knucklehead evangelicals having yet another mindless debate about God and Science.

    Give it a rest, people.

  • I'm actually a christian. And knucklehead takes it a bit far... I mean... Some people like to remove themselves from the idiocracy of the society that they THEMSELVES live in, and engage in healthy intelligent debate. Trust me... I don't prod, poke or try and start fights.

    yes... I have been very mad at the same exact thing. I just don't like our planet, and would rather see these things first hand, or exist within a year of them. I am just looking for possible explanations why not...

  • shut up

  • I like you

  • You can't until one is proven wrong. Seriously... This has been going on since Christianity or religion in general has started.

  • It's like a bio-cell.

  • wow cool beans

  • guys, this is the INTERNET. be quiet. kthx.

  • ???

  • That expanded faster than Rosie O' Donnell's waistband on Thanksgiving.

  • lol

  • stop commenting O.D

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • and next time read my commenst its 3 separate comments and the last one is the first of it i am telling people to live freely coz most people these days dont know what they are missing in life. word of advice d not judge the book by its cover read it b4 u say something :D

  • Comment removed

  • lol now read b4 u reply on my comment i dont believe in god o w/e things people say im a techno type and im talking to people who kept saying the end is near and fyi this is my comment about those people who kept saying that the punishment is end of the world no offense but i think u dont understand anything here.. :)

  • Comment removed

  • lol why not long time ago when our ancestor's were doing the biggest crime in the history of the planet? don't tell me its because god wants to give us a chance to change coz its not giving someone a freedom to live is to give those people to live till they change even if it takes forever and letting them live peacefully and without fear. people makes lies and put

  • It's fine to have beliefs. but please. Stay on topic. This is a video clip of a supernova taken over 7 years. That's what it is. There is no bible mentioned or religious philosophy mentioned in this video.

  • Folks, 3L3M3NTO is teasing all you. He's one of those folks that likes to irritate people. He's probably a very knowledgeable person that just likes to fake dumb to drive more serious people nuts. Like most of those arguing about the moon landing or in favor of ghosts or extra terrestrial UFOs. Just ignore him.

  • I think you need to go learn to spell, punctuate,and use proper grammar before you try to have a rant that makes no sense

    =)

  • get from the bible of lies. whats the reason? for this? god wants us o pay from our crime so he is wiping us from the face of the universe?

  • I don't know whats going on and I am not that educated, but I do know that this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! Look at those colors!

  • This video, rather than showing actual physical expansion, more shows he surrounding interstellar dust being illuminated by the light from the supernova.

  • wow! what the fuck is that?

  • It's expanding. Very interesting.

  • its not really expanding.. more along the lines of pulsating...

  • watch it... it constantly grows outward... expanding...

  • it also constantly contracts between grows..

    therefore

    pulsating

  • They're looping the pictures from 2000 to 2007, there's a time stamp at the upper left.

  • ohhhhhhhh yeah that makes sence -.- didndt see that xD

    & its 2008

  • haha at first i thought i was talking to an idiot

  • only a little bit xD
