I've been photographing a star for the last few weeks. It outshines everything in the sky except for the moon. When I zoom in on this object it looks a lot like the dying star shown in this video. It seems to have a core that is surrounded by some sort of gas,or cloud. I'm not sure how to explain it. It almost looks like it's pulsating or throbbing while it spins and creates a strobe-like effect. Could this be a pulsar star,or a star going supernova? Thanks.-V.R
Prolly a stupid question but at 0:25 when the pics is getting fuzzy - what would be needed to keep it sharp? Is this just the limitation of the zoom of the lenses used or the end capability of the telescope? Sorry if it stupid question :)
@eroka5 what do you mean grow up a little? Your the one yelling "WHAT THE HELL???" for me correcting your stupidity. Instead of using a telescope try using your eyes for once. Its what they're made for.
in The Philippines you see lots of thing in the sky a night..different activity ..I am not to sure what they are..one day we saw 4 things moving at the same time..my friend told me is a satellite,and one day is a fireball moving very slowly and very low.about 25 in height..I wish I can record them and put them in youtube..
a star does only take roughly 3 seconds to expand to a red giant, but will reamain a red giant for hundreds of millions of years and then a few hundred years to implode and explode. this all happens within 3 seconds?...............idiot.
i only have one problem with this statement, it takes light about 8 mins to reach earth and when our sun becomes a red giant it will probably encompass Venus and could even reach earth, if it only takes 3 seconds then it would expand faster then light could travel.
that is true but if you think about other things occuring in the cosmos such as a black hole absorbing everything so fast even light cant escape then theres many things that sound impossible but are actually probable
Yah but the sun expanding faster then the speed of light is not one of those things. The stars expansion will probably take a couple million years to expand. its hard to say because the chart i am looking at only marks every 100 million years. Either way it takes a lot longer then 3 seconds, i mean the amount of momentum behind the particles would blow off and the star would lose almost all its mass if it expanded so fast.
Hey I have a question.. About 2 years ago I was riding in a car at night, looking at the stars, when all the sudden a smaller star turned red and expanded, then recieted back and was gone. This all happend in about 3 seconds.
I'd like to know if this was a dying star "exploding"?
I thought the proccess was a lot longer then that though, the star got to about 2x visably bigger then a bright night star.
(PS im just a kid, please don't blow up on me if I'm sounding stupid.)
@ImayStalkU; A star will not explode and disappear within 3 seconds. The process takes much much much longer than 3 seconds. I can assure you this was not a star dying. When a star explodes it has much debris as well. It leaves behind much more than simply 3 seconds of turning red and expanding then disappearing.
@ImayStalkU; Possibly something in the atmosphere that was burning up. Possibly some sort of flare maybe. It's hard having not seen it myself. I would say most likely it was something burning up in the atmosphere due to the short lived flare up and disappearing.
Hmm, I really don't care about the opinion of some illiterate moron on youtube. I'd sit here, and argue with you, but I just don't have qiute the motivation that you do to start internet arguements.
@ImayStalkU if what you said was true ... then why did you even make a post ? who are you kidding ... you love internet arguments ... you just dont like losing them imo :P
stars explode in 3 seconds wen u saw it disappear that was a black hole formed so u probably did see a star die but that occurred millions of years ago because of light years
@ImayStalkU If it is what i think it is, then it is probably a pulsar. Thats a star that have sudden bursts of energy from time to time. A "exploding star" also called a nova or supernova would be much brighter. It is also possible that it is a super nova or a nova ust several millions of lightyears away. But it could also be a (exuse bad writing) quasar witch is a supermassive black hole "erupting" when owerwhleming amounts of mas fall into it. Sorry bad spelling.
@ImayStalkU A kid u do know that every star is a sun with planets around it. So what u saw was the end of the world for millions of alliens or planets (if that star had any planets around it)
I was in Scarborough camping last year. As always, the sky was extremely clear and dark. We was walking home from somewhere and I looked up and something caught the corner of my eye. It was a star and it made a tiny flash. After that TINY flash it wasn't there! Me having lack of knowledge about astronomy thought it was a supernova. My dad said it would be all over the news if it was. I guess I'll never know.
@ImayStalkU Well usually when starts blow up we wouldn't see it for days or even months, like it takes 7 minutes for solar energy to come from the sun to earth so if the sun blew up we wouln't know or see any sort of blast for 7 minutes so maybe you where just looking at the right time but i don't really know.
@kefer123622 Taking into the whole Sun solar light 7 min thingy, this star probably died a good amount of years ago (or whatever time span suits best) and the light has only just arrived.
@ImayStalkU Omg i saw something like that too! It was like 11 PM and i was watching stars and sattelites and i saw this one star... i kept my eye on it.. and it got birghter and then just went away... iit happened fast too
@ImayStalkU What you most likely saw was an illusion, most likely concentrated humidity in atmosphere make the star looking bigger and then smaller, in August in the areas around the Mediterranean sea, you can see the moon looking red because the evaporated water and the winter more "blueish".
@ImayStalkU If it was exploding at that time, you wouldn't see it for abbout 120,000 years. And It takes thousands of years for the star to explode, it doesnt explode so fast. AND you would see a supernova. It probably wasnt a star, but something else.
@ImayStalkU k let me answer you i know that i am late but get over it so
the star that you see explode in front of you and when it will explode the star expand get bigger and bigger it create more and more things like oxygene hydrogene and alot of other things than explode it only take like 3 to 6 second to let a little star explod but the sun that we have take like 8 minute to explode and your little sun will explod in 13.7 millards years :)
@ImayStalkU I do not know what you saw, but it sounds very interesting. If there is an astronomical observatory near you or a university with a science department contact them and ask what they think it might be. And don't let some of the people on YouTube put you off. Best of luck.
@ImayStalkU You might have seen something called an "Iridium Flare". Those are satellites that tend to reflect sunlight (400km above the ground, the sun might still reach it) onto the surface of the earth. They can be very bright and last for about three seconds. If yours also moved a little, it definitely was one.
They occur very often almost everywhere on Earth. If you're interested in this, look it up on wikipedia, the article isn't bad.
@ImayStalkU I, too, recently saw something similar. One night I watched the sky and then my attention was drawn to light something that looked like a star. I looked and the light was growing stronger while at one point not lost completely. It all lasted about 3-4 seconds.
Son nubes que tapan la estrella,pueden verse o no verse pero es tapada,si cambia de color es por estar hacia una parte baja donde hace reflejo la asmofera... pero piensa que en el cielo hay cosas tan estrañas vistas por mi que ni la imaginacion del ser humano ha sido capaz de crear cosas parecidas...
@ImayStalkU well, if a star DID die, then it probably would have died a long time ago, long before you saw it, because the speed of light needs to travel to us for us to see that happening.
@ImayStalkU yo same shit happened to me like a year ago.. i was looking at the stars at night, my eye turned to one that go like 2x bigger stayed there for like 1 sec then dissappeared... creepy thing...
Interesting. I was once in Yorkshire and it was a very clear night. I was lucky to be there to watch a meteor shower. From the corner of my eye I was SURE I saw exactly what you just explained. I doubt it was though - it'd be all over the news.
@Mazza4Azza i know its 2 months old comment but...Yestearday,i was watching a star trough telescope.When i look right,i saw a blue flash,in Cassiopea constellation.When flash was gone,there was something like gray line and gone!Maybe was a fireball or something...
@ImayStalkU It could have been a star dieing out or it could have been a star becoming a hypergiant either way, it's not good. If a star dies, it either closes in on itself and turns into a black hole, or explodes that makes a massive explosion
You aren't sounding stupid, and what you saw was a Super Nova Explosion, and I think if it disappeared like that then it turned into a black hole, but most likely it was a Super Nova, and it exploded before you even saw it, the light just took quite awhile to reach Earth.
jupiter would have to possess at least a mass of about 70 times of his actual mass to start the fusion processes characteristical of the smallest possible star, a "red dwarf" (says german wikipedia :D )
People,VY Canis Majoris ,last time i checked is like woohooo bigger then Pistol Star......anyways..i wanna skip a point, somebody please explain Sirius star to me and Tucana star i find them weird,EXPLAIN PLEASE,private message me either message me here (REPLY)
Runan, VYCanis, is larger only in diameter, but a lot smaller than a pistol star, we are talking nearly 10 times smaller, Pistol star is quite powerful star, so much so, it is visible some 25500 light years away. Pistol star is so bright if it was only 100 light years away from our sun, it would outshine our own moon, it shines 5 million times more brightly than sun, VYC only 450 000 times brighter... VYC is larger in diameter only, Pistol star is a heavyweight here ;)
yep, that is what I meant, but also, Pistol Star is 10 times more massive, has 150 solar masses, its a monster, VY Canis Majoris has a mass in region of 15-25 solar masses, I can't be certain as no real measurements have been done, so its best guess of the true size of the star. what ever the case, Pistol Star is at least 6 times more massive than VY Canis Majoris.
keep in mind with time. as stars age they lose their energy and temperature, which causes them to expand. So, in size VY Canis Majoris might be bigger in size, it might not have a bigger mass than the infamous pistol star. because, the pistol star is newer and is in it's main sequence, turning into a red giant, where as VY is alreasy a Red Hypergiant, already off its main sequence.
It takes 8 min for light to travel from our sun to earth, or something like that... it takes 2 hours for it to travel one time around Canis, which is close to the size of our solar system.
your saying it takes 2 hours for light to get from canis to earth?, or from the sun to canis?.. Canis is 2350 lightyears away, wich means it would take 2350 years for light from Canis to hit our eyes. im probably on about somthing your not.. but oh well
If you consider pluto's orbit to be "the size" it is something like 22.7billion miles and light would take 1.4 days to travel that many miles. In a vacuum of course.
2light hours is more like twice the orbit of Earth. So, Mr Canis sitting in Mr. Sun's place would have his belly slightly outside the Martian orbit.
we dont have to worry about a black whole the sun is too small when it dies it will become a white dwarf a big sun is called beatleguess its about 2,000 times bigger or more than our sun
you don't know that, it hasn't used all of it's hydrogen, and it wont, in our lifetime, so for you to say, 'we don't have to worry about a black whole' is completly false..we wont need to worry about it, but it could happen..
and it's not called 'a big sun' they're called stars tbh. or giant,supergiant oreven hyper giant, if you want to see a big star, research on, vy canis majoris, now that's big..
NO, its not, it is a super giant, for to be a hyper giant must contain mass of 100+ suns, Pistol star is a Hyper Giant, any star that exceeds 100+ mases of suns is a hyper giant and they go out with the hypernova, :)
yes, totally, the more massive, the bigger the boom. VY Canis is only twice the mass of Betelgeuse. If Pistol star went supernova (hypernova) and was at the distance from earth Betelgeuse is, life on earth would cese to exist with in 650 years after the explosion, thats how powerful hypernova explosions are, Betelgeuse or anything less than 90 masses of sun won't create such explosion. Although supernova explosions are massive events and life within 20 light years of would be effected by it.
Betelgeuse is only 15.5 times more massive than sun, and it won't turn in to a black hole, as a matter of fact it might not even turn in to a neutron star, it might turn in a rather heavy white dwarf, perhaps with the mass of 1.25-1.4 suns, Betelgeuse is loosing way too much mass and it is too small for it to become a black hole, for that star must be at least 40 times more massive than sun and when it goes supernova, there must be certain conditions. Black holes are very rare.
In our galaxy there are less than 500 black holes, only one in billion stars becomes a black hole, for this to happen star must be really massive and retain as much mass before it goes supernova, mass released before it becomes a supernova must be at least 20+ masses of sun, some astrophysicist say 12, but no evidence of this this far, smallest black hole ever discovered had a mass of 3.8 suns (3.8x2x9) or 68.4 mases of sun before it went supernova. So you see black holes are really rare.
when I say, heavy white dwarf, perhaps I was ott, it might become a small neutron star, neutron stars can't exceed mass of 3.75 masses of sun, but smallest neutron star discovered was only .8 masses of sun, I guess, it is quite possible for star to become a neutron star, although small one, say 1.4 masses of sun. Mass of white dwarfs can be anything between .1 sun masses to 1.44 masses of sun, although most are in region of 0.7 masses of sun.
BTW, ppl, did you know Sirius B star, some 8.8 light years away was a giant star with some 8-9 solar masses, 120 million years ago, Sirius B went supernova, all that's left of the original progenitor star, is a small white dwarf of 1 solar mass. And this is why I think Betelgeuse will also go similar way, it is loosing mass almost identically to Sirius B BTW, Sirius B had a diameter of 3 billion km before it went supernova.
lol i dunt kno y ppls always hav to say its fake n kill the moods for ppls who actually believe it i mean no1 really gives a dam weather u think its a fake or not n no1 wanna kno where to find out to kno its fake they should just stfu n keep their own thoughts or theories to themselfs instead killin the moods for other ppls
Well, originally, you could just see earth in Google earth, but instead of making whole other programs, they just added Google Sky/Mars onto the Earth program.
sure beats going outside and contorting your neck in this "looking up" position i hear about.. id much rather look at a computer screen from my couch.. anything to save energy im for
Well, there's always the issue for us in or near big metropolitan areas, where looking up is fairly useless. When I look up at the Baltimore sky, I see a pitiful handful of stars, and the glare of the city lights.
yeah, try living in NYC....you see absolutely NOTHING. Its almost as if we were living in that doctor who episode "utopia" when all the stars are burnt out.lol
Certainly one of the reasons that it comes as no surprise when I meet people from the coastal cities that are more close minded than any given conservative Republican in small town Iowa.
On a clear winter night, you can see the Milky Way crystal clear. It's fucking beautiful.
PS You might want to spice up your repertoire of insults. Gay is soooo overused, and "little 130lb pimply ass kid, while original in a "who else would use that one?" way, is, let's be honest, kind of dorky. I know you can do better, and I'll be rooting for you.
This is a computerised image. Not the real thing. First of all any telescopical material can not go past past extreme lighting to see what's on the other side. You would be blinded just like trying to look right past the sun. Impossible so this video is fake but very well done. Impressive gimmickry
It is not going "past" the lighting. It is simply adjusting. So the big bright halo of the explosion is darkened out to a level that only the star itself, which is still brighter than the surrounding is visible. Try it out with your camera: Inside a building, focus on a point just next to the window: The outside is white. Move the camera quickly to focus out the window and watch the display: For a moment ist is still bright, until the camera adjusts. In video it happens more slowly.
But in the video we see the camera zooming past the light and we end up seeing a blur of colour. Why do you think it says bad astronomy at the end? Is that not a give away of its fakeness? Also notice the thickness of the stars in the video which is also a sign that its not the real thing because when we gaze up at the nightsky they appear like little pebbles. A camera would not make much of a difference with the view
Do you even know why he's called the Bad Astronomer ? It's because he's dealing with myths and all that kind of stuff... Not because he's lieing people
The definition of myth is fiction. Fiction only so a myth is myth and nothing else. I went into the Mythbusters website and typed in the search bar most things possibly known as a myth and the result was what I expected. Their website has facts only and most things we already know
Hick? I don't understand. Our understanding of words are different because we're in seperate countires. I take as a compliment being mature. Bad astronomy is bad astronomy, yeah?
This video is so well crafted with computer animation sampled from a reality concept which seems to have been misinterpreted as real. And no, I do not "know it all". You're being ridiculous and contradicting me saying that.
I know what you mean. And also your not a know it all just because your using the type of language or increased speech people think your trying to be all that. Any way just saying so im not a hater unlike alot of people

Son nubes que tapan la estrella,pueden verse o no verse pero es tapada,si cambia de color es por estar hacia una parte baja donde hace reflejo la asmofera... pero piensa que en el cielo hay cosas tan estrañas vistas por mi que ni la imaginacion del ser humano ha sido capaz de crear cosas parecidas...

@ImayStalkU well, if a star DID die, then it probably would have died a long time ago, long before you saw it, because the speed of light needs to travel to us for us to see that happening.

@ImayStalkU It could have been a star dieing out or it could have been a star becoming a hypergiant either way, it's not good. If a star dies, it either closes in on itself and turns into a black hole, or explodes that makes a massive explosion

You aren't sounding stupid, and what you saw was a Super Nova Explosion, and I think if it disappeared like that then it turned into a black hole, but most likely it was a Super Nova, and it exploded before you even saw it, the light just took quite awhile to reach Earth.

Beezy2127 2 years ago
in general yes, but in fact not.
jupiter would have to possess at least a mass of about 70 times of his actual mass to start the fusion processes characteristical of the smallest possible star, a "red dwarf" (says german wikipedia :D )

Runandescape1 2 years ago
Runan, VYCanis, is larger only in diameter, but a lot smaller than a pistol star, we are talking nearly 10 times smaller, Pistol star is quite powerful star, so much so, it is visible some 25500 light years away. Pistol star is so bright if it was only 100 light years away from our sun, it would outshine our own moon, it shines 5 million times more brightly than sun, VYC only 450 000 times brighter... VYC is larger in diameter only, Pistol star is a heavyweight here ;)
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
I think you mean Pistol star is more luminous than VYC. VYC is huge, not "10 times smaller". One tenth as luminous is acceptable.
agentdarkboote 2 years ago
yep, that is what I meant, but also, Pistol Star is 10 times more massive, has 150 solar masses, its a monster, VY Canis Majoris has a mass in region of 15-25 solar masses, I can't be certain as no real measurements have been done, so its best guess of the true size of the star. what ever the case, Pistol Star is at least 6 times more massive than VY Canis Majoris.
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
keep in mind with time. as stars age they lose their energy and temperature, which causes them to expand. So, in size VY Canis Majoris might be bigger in size, it might not have a bigger mass than the infamous pistol star. because, the pistol star is newer and is in it's main sequence, turning into a red giant, where as VY is alreasy a Red Hypergiant, already off its main sequence.
Beezy2127 2 years ago
Are you defining size in terms of mass or volume? Also, power output does not necessarily dictate size.
damaged01 2 years ago
mass of course, x total solar mass is what' counts in my book...
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
It takes 8 min for light to travel from our sun to earth, or something like that... it takes 2 hours for it to travel one time around Canis, which is close to the size of our solar system.
Slyther83 2 years ago
your saying it takes 2 hours for light to get from canis to earth?, or from the sun to canis?.. Canis is 2350 lightyears away, wich means it would take 2350 years for light from Canis to hit our eyes. im probably on about somthing your not.. but oh well
umpalumpa101909 2 years ago
im saying at the speed of light it would take 2 hours to make one trip around canis- nothing to do with earth.
Slyther83 2 years ago
If you consider pluto's orbit to be "the size" it is something like 22.7billion miles and light would take 1.4 days to travel that many miles. In a vacuum of course.
2light hours is more like twice the orbit of Earth. So, Mr Canis sitting in Mr. Sun's place would have his belly slightly outside the Martian orbit.

NO, its not, it is a super giant, for to be a hyper giant must contain mass of 100+ suns, Pistol star is a Hyper Giant, any star that exceeds 100+ mases of suns is a hyper giant and they go out with the hypernova, :)
simgadraco2005 2 years ago

RohanV2 2 years ago
yes, totally, the more massive, the bigger the boom. VY Canis is only twice the mass of Betelgeuse. If Pistol star went supernova (hypernova) and was at the distance from earth Betelgeuse is, life on earth would cese to exist with in 650 years after the explosion, thats how powerful hypernova explosions are, Betelgeuse or anything less than 90 masses of sun won't create such explosion. Although supernova explosions are massive events and life within 20 light years of would be effected by it.
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
VY Canis Majoris is biggest..
Runandescape1 2 years ago
Betelgeuse is only 15.5 times more massive than sun, and it won't turn in to a black hole, as a matter of fact it might not even turn in to a neutron star, it might turn in a rather heavy white dwarf, perhaps with the mass of 1.25-1.4 suns, Betelgeuse is loosing way too much mass and it is too small for it to become a black hole, for that star must be at least 40 times more massive than sun and when it goes supernova, there must be certain conditions. Black holes are very rare.
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
In our galaxy there are less than 500 black holes, only one in billion stars becomes a black hole, for this to happen star must be really massive and retain as much mass before it goes supernova, mass released before it becomes a supernova must be at least 20+ masses of sun, some astrophysicist say 12, but no evidence of this this far, smallest black hole ever discovered had a mass of 3.8 suns (3.8x2x9) or 68.4 mases of sun before it went supernova. So you see black holes are really rare.
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
when I say, heavy white dwarf, perhaps I was ott, it might become a small neutron star, neutron stars can't exceed mass of 3.75 masses of sun, but smallest neutron star discovered was only .8 masses of sun, I guess, it is quite possible for star to become a neutron star, although small one, say 1.4 masses of sun. Mass of white dwarfs can be anything between .1 sun masses to 1.44 masses of sun, although most are in region of 0.7 masses of sun.
simgadraco2005 2 years ago
BTW, ppl, did you know Sirius B star, some 8.8 light years away was a giant star with some 8-9 solar masses, 120 million years ago, Sirius B went supernova, all that's left of the original progenitor star, is a small white dwarf of 1 solar mass. And this is why I think Betelgeuse will also go similar way, it is loosing mass almost identically to Sirius B BTW, Sirius B had a diameter of 3 billion km before it went supernova.

This is a computerised image. Not the real thing. First of all any telescopical material can not go past past extreme lighting to see what's on the other side. You would be blinded just like trying to look right past the sun. Impossible so this video is fake but very well done. Impressive gimmickry
amievery1 2 years ago
It is not going "past" the lighting. It is simply adjusting. So the big bright halo of the explosion is darkened out to a level that only the star itself, which is still brighter than the surrounding is visible. Try it out with your camera: Inside a building, focus on a point just next to the window: The outside is white. Move the camera quickly to focus out the window and watch the display: For a moment ist is still bright, until the camera adjusts. In video it happens more slowly.

deviance87 2 years ago 2
But in the video we see the camera zooming past the light and we end up seeing a blur of colour. Why do you think it says bad astronomy at the end? Is that not a give away of its fakeness? Also notice the thickness of the stars in the video which is also a sign that its not the real thing because when we gaze up at the nightsky they appear like little pebbles. A camera would not make much of a difference with the view
