Galaxy 3C321, the 'death star' galaxy

[cml794]

Muito bom. Bastante informativo.

[animationhero421]

IT'S A TRAP!!!

[enoquelopez]

this is fake!

[TheGuyWithTheSniper]

Now you will witness the power of this fully armed and OPERATIONAL black hole!

[daslimshady1]

am i right to say this is a quasar

[CutzmanX]

@daslimshady1: I believe you are correct to call this a quasar but naming conventions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a matter of semantics. The more general term is to call it an active galaxy or an AGN in case you are ever confused.

[DaHurler1]

The guy said that the strong concentration of photons (light basically) would seriously effect a planetary atmosphere.

If so, how bad?...Because you have to remember that when he says "strong concentration of photons" hes not on about a laser-pen... It's a supermassive blackhole...

This is basically galaxy death-match.

[yushatak]

Any civilization that might be in that galaxy would not only have a brilliantly interesting night sky, but a very useful power source for probes and spaceships (in one direction) - solar sails ahoy! :D

[mity15]

Its a billion  or so light years away think this is so long ago what we now see, I wonder how this galaxies is faring these days?

[valdastikvaldas]

:47 fuck you distract fuckingly that voice coming from nowhere

[floopalomp]

I didnt understand :(

[bbphnix]

hm..... based on video statistics it would seem russians are the most interested in this video after the americans; I wonder why?

[wo0obly]

imagaineif they found 2 galaxies shooting those beams at each other by coincedence and having a beam struggle like out of dragonball z xD. the chance of that is amazingly humongously stupidly low though :(

[Faizann23]

IS IT TRUE

IN GALAXY

[sk8terguy110]

@Faizann23 all of this is true you are all fucking retarted

[GIMMA96]

lol epic fake

[ltzul2vi7l]

ima firin my lazorz

[djFede97]

@ltzul2vi7l blarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rg

what...tha fuck?

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oom

[daithisogood]

jaysus i would hate to be stuck in a broken lift with this bunch of commentators

[stybarrow]

wow !

[TheChosenOneOfRussia]

the most epic lazer!

[supergiuovane]

This video is clearly a naive representation of the central part of a QSO with the clear intent of point to the discovery of the effects of a jet. There are many simplifications that have been done. Goal of such videos is to provide a broad picture,so I think that saying that it is totally wrong is a bit pointless

[supergiuovane]

@Maridianokus 1) there are lots of proofs for the corona,and yes it is observable since it emits the hard X-ray spectrum of qso (via inverse compton emission);2) the dusty torus is much further away from the BH,beyond the accretion disk,so it cannot belong to the BH. I think you're mixing things. The BH is just the object that trigger the accretion,all the rest (disk,corona, plasma,jets, dusty torus) is -of course- outside the event horizon. "Broad line region": region of hot-high speed gas.

[supergiuovane]

So were are the errors in this video? It's not an exact representation even of what we know it's there: no hot corona, no broad line region and even no dusty torus. I would point to such features instead. What's wrong with the jets? They do not originate close to the event horizon...

[supergiuovane]

@Maridianokus Bullshit? Why exactly? What's wrong and how should it be and how do you know?

[supergiuovane]

I am totally calm. But, sorry, you cannot say that there are observations at this spatial resolution, simply because there are not!! So, actually, we don't know "exactly" how an accretion disk in a qso looks like.

[supergiuovane]

No. There are no observations like this, because no telescope can reach that resolutions (we're talking of sub milli-arcsecond), not even radio telescopes. And if you put it like this, then colors ARE important. Such colors make sense only if you view them as false color representing a temperature gradient. And the "inside structure": to me it may represent just plasma dragged by the magnetic field.

[supergiuovane]

That has little to do with astrophysics and more with graphics I would say. Furthermore, there is no observation available at the moment, to prove **exactly** how the accretion disk looks like...

[supergiuovane]

Why?What's wrong with that?

[Siamesemama1]

No words are adequate, to describe what just played, but I would love it if NASA/ESA/JPL or whoever names these phenomena would name something a "nuclear shit thingy xray"! Brilliant!

[masxutesno]

gamma rays nothing survives that

[ewegfyciwdcd11]

the blue thing you saw must be "Jet" a radiation nuclear shit thingy xray

[Thulgore]

Hmmm......what do you use that was a "newer" technology (newer meaning the last 500 years) that "nerds" didn't affect? This is one of the last things you should worry about as far as your "tax dollars" are concerned.

[klooger28]

please explain how im using your tax money to look this up... lol

[MikeRotten15]

I cant believe your grammar is so poor!

When you start substituting words with numbers, you know you need to go back to school... I wont even start with your shitty spelling.

Kill yourself.

[wendysisgay]

this animation may just be a movie but this really does exist. quite interesting

[Acrimonator]

You're right, shouldn't have rised your nose from your book...

[aioria911]

what is that?.. that think like a beam

it's that possible?-- it's seems like a cannon!

[henryvoo]

The universe is weird

[029560]

No sound!  BOO!!!!!!

[luxfair]

Audio starts at 0:47

[rhinonose]

there is no sound in space, whatd you expect

[aioria911]

jajajajajaja!!!

[ye3ala2]

dude is this real?

[LeoE08]

its called galaxy 3c321

[cloud0123]

What if this is like a natural phenomena being used as a weapon by one galaxy onto another? :)

[joenpamtorres]

Is this Real?

[stevebd1]

It was in the news recently. Search for watch?v=fTKi4etU32c for a video called 'black holes' for more info.

[jfooj]

Wow.

[teknomaker18]

Very interesting video. It could use some music in the intro though.
