  • i thought hypernovas were the biggest explotion in the universe

  • nice!

  • interesting video and very informative

  • I was watching "Shit drunk guys say" and I was like this is so gay n boring, so go to the YouTube homepage and I see SUPERNOVA SPOTTING and I went "AHHHJJJJ!!" and realized and such a fucking nerd!!!

  • love the video man

  • interesting video and very informative

  • If that Thinkpad laptop at 3:10 is good enough for the world's top scientists, it's good enough for me!

  • 02:30: No "Academy Award" for these guys, I guess. Though the one could have a bright future in Minoxidil commercials. I feel kinda guilty about making such a flippant post under a quality science story. But I just couldn't resist this time. ;-)

  • Has any of these observatory telescopes filmed the moon?

  • 2:18 :D

  • Gamma ray bursts are just goku doin super kamehamehas

  • @Renamed4Shame youre orobably right

  • Haha when the alarm goes off and those two guys are sitting there and rush to the computer they looked like, "Oh shit! Someone found our porn stash!"

  • @ashkibala1 You have one? Haha

  • @LoveAddictREmix the question is: who doesn't have one? XD

  • Comment removed

  • Atacama Desert is a map on Battlefield Bad Company 2

    Just saying...

    Cool video bro!

  • @TheKrisVideos

    They didn't add this telescope complex to the map in the game. Would have been a good objective to own you in.

    hhahahaha

    Then i would Gamma ray burst on your FACE!!!

  • @jimmy8shoes In your dreams bro :P

  • Comment removed

  • whats funny is it can take millenia for the rays to get here :P

  • Comment removed

  • Lmfao 2:46 was hilarious

    

  • someone wayyyy out in space got falcon punched hard.

  • I'm proud of being Chilean.

  • Gammy ray burst are from aliens !!! not the collapse of a star, I got upducttedded once they done did the anal probes lol

  • man thats a shiny bald head

  • I GAMMA RAY BURST YOU ALL!

  • If I worked at ESO, the first thing I would change is that annoying alert sound.

  • a pulsar kicks a supernova's ass.

  • Can you tell me more about the nature of the Sirius System? on the other side of the moon?....Oh!...Love your channel..:)

  • Isn't it possible that the gamma burst is caused due to a massive increase in positron emission during the supernova combined with photodisintegration and rp process? The photodisintegration would obviously lead to more loose electrons. And isn't it possible that some electrons are knocked out of course right before rp process leading to a massive excess of free electrons resulting in shit loads of electron-positron annihilation?

    I’m only 16 yo with a mediocre education, so I might be way off

  • is the orange laser thing pointing at the sky drawn in after, or does it actually look like that? Ive seen it on other vids also, from completely diff users and outfits.

    Thanks

    J.

    :)

  • I wish a super nova would occour close enough so that we could see it with our eyes like happened in china(I think)

  • @NationOfJames Close enough for us to watch..... but not close enough to fry us. XD

  • @Kraktzor I dont know, I might enjoy that. Im kinda in a bad place right now... jk

  • 2:30 that guy has a really shiny head.

  • We can all believe what we want to believe. We are all the same.

  • now I know why the astronomers are astronomers and not actors hehe

  • I know that if a Gamma (y)-Ray Burst had set off my Dosimeter's alarm, then it had to have happened far away. It takes Gamma Rays to get here just as light does, traveling at the speed of light. Light and Gamma rays are both photons, but Gamma Rays have an extremely short wavelength than do visible light photons. Perhaps they are caused by left over antimatter colliding with normal matter. Perhaps the remnants of stars' particles, such as electrons and positrons colliding. IDK... Mysterious...

  • The time lapses make this video AWESOME.

  • Obviously there are many uneducated 'christians' who don't realise that religion is AGAINST the bible. Use your brains.

  • #1 we would be changing that blood curdling alarm......

  • Jesus Christ put the God in Goddard

  • AWESOME VIDEO! Gamma- (y) Ray Bursts are extremely fascinating & mysteriously phenomenal! I think that all of our funds & charities should go to SCIENCE! Also, I study radiation & radioactive materials. I was in my room, & my digital dosimeter (Geiger-Müller counter) alarm just went off > 0.30µ Sieverts/hour (µSv/h). I live in Florida, where geological radioactivity, like uranium ore, radon, radioactive waste, & reactors aren't an issue, where my cosmic radiation level is ~ ±0.08 µSV/h. Odd...

  • When I went back to chile to visit my family, we went north up to iquique at night and my uncle stopped the car in the desert high way and told me to go out (we were above sea level in a mountain)

    I saw a CLEAR night sky just like in this video... it was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my 21 years of living in this earth. I hope to see another clear night again that allows me to see the milky way as clear as that time.

    :)

  • how does somebody dislike such an educative video? i guess some people really do like being ignorant...

  • I forgot to mention that it is after *Sunset.* Not Sunrise, for clarification.

  • 2:45 Working inside the lab with Dr. Emmet Brown had never been so intense. LOL

  • @BahoUtot greatest comment i heard in weeks!

  • @BahoUtot .....

  • @BahoUtot Great Scott!

  • Can anyone give any credible information on a flashing star in the sky, roughly 2 hours after sunset, and about 50degrees east of Venus' position in the sky. It's size is about the same as Venus, the only difference is, that it blinks red-to-blue-to-red, etc...

    What is this shining body, and is it in our system?

  • @CriticuleMe Do you mean sunrise? Venus is currently popping up just before sunrise lately. The star that you might be looking at is Jupiter or Mars and have been setting a few hours after sunset.

    To answer your question, though, I need to know which of these planets you're looking at and your relative location (latitude only will work). For a heads up, Mars is setting about 40 minutes after the sun, and Jupiter is setting about a half hour after midnight.

  • @Remagoen I live in Massachusetts, (42° 35' 25" N / 72° 18' 35" W)

    The first planet to rise(in the eastern sky), only shines yellowish/grey and does not blink any red or blue at all; The next one, the shining object I'm talking about is roughly at a 40-60degree angle east of the prior planet. It's size, relative to the dull planet, is the roughly the same, the only difference is that this object blinks red/blue profusely; I've noticed it's position relative to the other, does not change.

  • @CriticuleMe Hey! I'm from Boston myself! Oh boy do I miss living up there...

    That sounds right. The first planet is Saturn that rises followed by Venus. However, I'm still confused as Venus rises in the east. The brightest star in the eastern direction, though, would be left of Venus to your latitude. If that's true, it seems like it would be Vega, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. It twinkles as it does because it's so close to the horizon, the heat messes it up.

  • Astronomy 1

    Acting 0

  • if we get hit with gamma rays, are we going to turn green when we get angry

  • @10minutesofyourlife more like yabba dabba dooooo!!!

  • I'd be glad if my country spend my taxes in astronomy!

  • I wonder what would happen if Proxima Centauri went supernova? Think we'd get a sun burn?

  • The power reading on that gamma ray burst... it was...

    it was over NINE THOUSANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @culwin old meme is old.

  • 2:35 LOL @ the guy's face!

  • hey mom im going to kill 0 people

    mom:ok take a jacket its cold

    me:k (thank you for not hating)

  • i never knew gamma ray bursts briefly out shine there galaxy.. pretty amazing

  • thats the kind of alarm they need if they find a comet flying towards earth

    btw will those gamma rays ever reach us and wipe off our atmosphere?

  • Can anyone tell me what accent the female narrator has? I can't place it.

  • you spend billions of dollars building this amazing telescope and you fuckin call it the very large telescope? way to be creative...jesus christ

  • Intense!

  • @Cr0ssb0wY0 aww Xd u bastard. take it back!

  • 2:32 bad reaction he turns his head about 1.5 seconds after.

  • 2:31  =slow reaction time. when you react to something the word act in react is important. i guess scientists make bad actors. but then again actors make bad scientists too.

  • 0:59

    01:31 [Narrator]

    lol

  • What made the Universe and evrything in it,and how did the big bang form?

  • @strategistmmo u wanna check out "The Size of the Universe" and "Supermassive Black Holes" to learn more about the formation of big bang. the original uploader is spacerip.

  • @Ivin3690 thanks

  • So glad we aint in a path of one!!!!

  • @sarajanegarr we are, it just hasn't gone off yet. in the orion constellation, his left foot. Rigel.

  • *Alarm*

    -HOLY CRAP! A GAMMA RAY BURST!!!

    .....

    ....

    -Dammit, just Avast!'s false alarm on trojans....

  • what's that lassie? a gamma ray burst? allign the teloscope!

  • lol, that alarm

  • why smart people are always ugly?

  • @AlexanderSigal Madonna has a pretty high IQ I think, but shes also pretty hawt.

  • @CommissarBraxton you can't measure how smart person is just by IQ. Madonna looks stupid to me.

  • @AlexanderSigal Well why can we then measure it with your opinion?

  • @CommissarBraxton because opinion is a thought of 1 of us and IQ is just a test that shows how fast your intellect can solve the problem. What about great ideas then? they don't come fast. Human opinion is the best source, because you can see what that person is and you are basing your own idea on understanding who that person is and what info you get from the.

  • should I click dislike just because there are 200 likes and no dislikes yet? Nah ill hit like

  • The funny thing is this....is that it really is just looking back in time....

    The event probably happened thousands of years ago...

  • i love Spacerip :D

  • Bad acting for the scientists. Noticing and nodding. Haha.

  • Align your spectrograph slit and prepare to receive my gamma ray burst!

  • will we die if it happens in our galaxy?

  • @insanewarlock666 check out the video "last days on earth" part 1, ND Tyson talks at length about what would happen if a GRB happened in our galaxy. In short, we're dead.

  • creationists: "our universe is fine tuned for life" LOL but anyway GRS is impossible in our galaxy... as I have heard from astronomers. more dangerous phenomenons are quasars.

  • @insanewarlock666 quasars are too far away to harm us. the reason why GRBs are unlikely is because they originate in galaxies so far away that its likely they actually dont occur anymore in the universe, we are just seeing stuff that occured in the earlier stages of the formation of the universe

  • Did ya hear that? Dr. J!

  • 2:52 - Amazing!!

  • Dr. J. rules!

  • man, I would love to do this for a living.

  • ¥T

  • @Cr0ssb0wY0 that makes you one SOB.

  • Funny how 10% of the comments have to do with the actual video, and 90% are people arguing about religion.

    Seriously, keep on track... We all know religion is a hoax, no need to feed the religious fanboys anymore than we already do...

  • @leaf16nut Ugh, most of the comments are about the video. I don't know where you got those silly statistics from.

  • @Etiros

    Maybe not this video... look at the rest of them, you'll find religious comments all over the place.

  • @leaf16nut GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE........ jay-kay. 

  • @leaf16nut I presume you think the same of Christianity. But how come? I'm curious.

  • @77rxpharmacy

    Religion as a whole I believe is complete bunk. One, I can't see a single "creator" crafting the smallest of parasites yet craft something as big as the galaxy - theres no way that much power was given to a single person.

    There are older, more and scientifically proven religions yet, Christianity is "correct" how is that? Why would God need people to tell his story/Missions if that was actually how everything was formed? Theres to many flaws...

  • @77rxpharmacy

    Continued:

    Yet, I dont believe totally in science either... I believe man/woman cannot figure out how everything is created with our current technology. I believe it is more complex than we make it out to be, and our brains cant actually comprehend how everything was formed.

    It seems nieve to think we can figure out how something was crreated billions ad billions of years ago yet we don't know how life was formed...

  • @leaf16nut I see.

  • @leaf16nut Because YOUR brain can't comprehend science, doesn't mean OUR (the scientific community as a whole) brain can't. Just because we don't have all the answers right now, doesn't make it anymore less likely that we won't figure it out.

  • @burninmunkeys

    Ok then "burnin" "munkeys" I'm really going to take advice from somebody who can't spell his username right...

    So what about when science says the worlds flat, only to find out it isn't? What about Stephan Hawking admitting defeat; that what gets sucked into a black hole dosn't dissappear? [which was known as truth] The numerous things science says is "true" only to be changed a year later... How can your beliefs change the instant science changes... YOUR an idiot, stfu.

  • @leaf16nut, My name is spelled like that purposely, ass hole. Science is based on what we can derive from the universe based on current technology. Religion also has caused multiple slaughters of the human race. So, lets believe in something that promotes violence to people that decide to work on one specific day of the week, or kills innocent first born's because some of "God's" people were enslaved. Do you believe that the earth goes around the sun? Why, that's a scientific discovery.

  • @leaf16nut As of the sixteenth or seventeenth century you'd have believed something of the sort that a God pulled the sun across the sky in a chariot. Fact is, things change. Do you still have a telegraph? Polaroid camera? Black and white TV? No, you do not. What to know why? Because due to science, shit gets improved, and as technology improves so does our understanding of the universe. Consider this a fail on your part for thinking you're such a smart ass. Oh, and "YOUR an idiot, stfu."

  • @burninmunkeys

    Obviously you spelt your name right I just got a laugh out of making fun of it.

    No, I dont consider myself a smart ass. But u proved my point science changes so rapidly its looked at as "fact" today but that can change overnight. So obviously it isnt fact, its an educated guess.

    You take my words to literally saying a sun god is the correct god, and we should sacifice people... But in 2000+ years will Christianity be looked at like those religions are looked at today...

  • @burninmunkeys

    Continued:

    take for instance 300 years ago... Their brains couldnt comprehend the technology we have today. So if i a meer 300 years we went from everything revolving around the sun, earth being flat, etc...

    In 300 years you dont think they'll find more "educated guesses" proving todays era wrong, along with new discoveries.

    Your proving my message yet saying I'm an idiot for not understanding... Hummmm...

    Merry Christmas

  • @leaf16nut

    **Revolving around the earth**

  • @leaf16nut Well, I 'spelled' my name correct according to my own wants.

    But you're right, they are educated guesses, some are proven fact, but most, are educated guesses. But when things don't just jump out and say, "Truth! Pick me! Pickmepickmepickme!" It's kind of hard to tell exactly what you're looking for, so you look and record your findings and attempt to prove it.

    I wasn't saying that the sun God is the correct God, I was just giving a reference of Greek mythology comparing it to ....

  • @leaf16nut today's religions. I really hope that one day Christianity will be looked at like that. Personally, I believe it has served its purpose and now is the time to advance to something more logical. But this isn't a religious debate.

    You're very right, we've had so many advances just within the past 100 years, and phenomenal advances in the past 300. Once the light bulb was discovered though, everything pretty much 'took off.'

    I do believe they'll find more "educated guesses," because ..

  • @leaf16nut that's how science works. We build a theory then just continually improve and expand upon it. Religion actually seems to do the opposite... build a religion, then continually push out things they don't want there. Seems a bit counterproductive to me. Again, not a religion debate, just comparing and contrasting.

    I agree with you, though. And Merry Christmas to you too.

  • @burninmunkeys actually the whole idea of "a god" (not "a God", as there is a difference) pulling the sun across the sky in a chariot was an idea that came around during the Greek times...which was >400BC. By the fifteenth (15th) Century, Copernicus already came up with the idea of a universe where the Earth was NOT the centre.

  • @nubreed000 Yeah, it was to make a point. And during the 15th Century, when he came up with that idea, all he got in return were the words, blasphemy, treachery, fool, tossed around at him like he was the worlds biggest idiot. Same stuff happened to Pythagoras, Aristotle, Galileo, and most of the scientists today by the more uneducated population. This is why everything takes so long to catch on and why Copernicus's idea didn't catch on for a while.

  • A GRB anywhere near us would likely wipe out 96% of life on earth. Maybe something like this caused the Permian–Triassic extinction event

  • @ORACLE063 It has to be REALLY close, around 3000 light-years away and Earth has to be directly in its path. The Heliosphere protects the Solar System from most of the Interstellar Gamma Rays that comes our way. I personally think it's a stretch to tie a GRB to a mass extinction event given just how few stars (if any) within 3000 light years of us can actually produce one, let alone one that actually has its jet pointed directly at us.

  • @zkevwlu All science is about, is to be skeptical and think like you do until all evidence points to an event that took place as a gamma ray burst.

  • I thought they referred to stars that emit gamma ray bursts as 'Hypernovas'.

  • where is your god now?

  • I remember reading some papers from an astronomy journal from the late 80's. Scientist were concerned that we would never be able to effectively observe gamma ray bursts. Boy were they wrong! It's amazing that we can now observe this phenomenon so rapidly.

  • yay nobody's disliked the video (yet) yay!!

  • I wanna work here!!!

  • Goku is God.

  • @PObserver Goku ssj4 couldnt withstand that blast.

  • Can anyone tell me of an even better gamma ray burst sequence. Preferably in full HD?

  • @spacerip

    wod it be possibl that a gammaburst flash wod be visseble from earth but just for a split second ?

    case and point i was walking my doggy at 0300 and as i was walking and minding my own buissnes it was like a flash lightning out of my derect vissebl sight but it all was quite bright for a very very short while

    this happend around 10 months ago

    im just asking becours this cod explane what i otherwise didnt have the awnser for

    be well

    G.

  • Gamma burst? I think thats Goku's spirit bomb exploded on planet Namek. lol

  • I really enjoy these videos. I've always been fascinated by space ever since I was very young.

  • @pdot1337 Same here. I'm 13 and I love watching videos about space and tornadoes

  • @pdot1337 so am i :)

  • Aw, I have to go to school. Adding to Queue.

  • what the hell is a gamma ray burst if its not the collapse of a star? i wonder if its aliens testing THEIR nuclear bombs

  • i think dr j is bi. i can see him diving down on dick or pussy with equal gusto.

  • same effect happens when i slam my di.. in someones poo..

  • @Vleesball it's all about black holes and dark matter!

  • Great post!!!

  • Thank you for another great post, this was fascinating to me.

    I had no knowledge on gamma rays, and now I have an understanding of them.

  • godidit

  • damn... those night shots with the sky full of stars, sped up so you can see all the stars moving, is really weird

  • @DrawASketch The stars aren't moving at all. Our planet is spinning.

  • @kronosnihon the universe is expanding and everything is moving. You may not be aware of it but it is true.

  • @kronosnihon well yeah that was what i meant, but you could see our planet spinning in the universe...

  • "All truths are easy to understand once they are Discovered; the point is to discover them."

    Galileo Galilei

  • @segrum Bah, it's all very well for you to say Galileo, you have the luxury of being dead, so nobody can make you struggle through Fourier expansions :(

  • @AleximusMaximus dah, go play bang bang on your pc.

  • @segrum i just heRD THAT ON CRIMNAL MINDS LAWL

  • @Legitreporter me to, small world. seems very appropriate don't you think.

  • @segrum Then again Galileo didn't know about quantum physics.

  • @AgainstZombies then again galileo said truths have to be discovered, not that he knew everything.

  • @AgainstZombies and your point is?

  • @segrum Well that makes "all truths are easy to understand" false... But nice quote :)

  • @AgainstZombies why are you taking it out of context, that's only half the thought. Which isn't delivering the whole concept. Please note the punctuation.

  • @segrum Umm...the rest of the quote doesn't change the meaning of that part of it. He says all truths are easy to understand once they are discovered and that the point is to discover them. We can't understand a truth unless we know about it, i.e. unless it's discovered, so all truths that we know of necessarily implies (according to the quote) that all truths that we know of are easy to understand. We know of the truth of quantum physics, and yet no one understands it. Contradiction.

  • @AgainstZombies That is really amazing, you assume Quantum Physics is a tangible, something you can put your finger on just like Einstein's THEORY of relativity. It's a theory; just a good idea so as soon as you can make a quantum jump from one reality into another reality let me know. I'd love to take the ride.

  • @segrum A scientific theory is different from the colloquial use of the word "theory". A theory in science is something that is supported by mountains and mountains of evidence with no evidence contradicting it. A scientific theory is higher than a scientific law. A scientific theory describes a set of scientific laws. In science a theory is not just a hunch. Gravity is a theory. The earth rotating around the sun is a theory. The way we breathe air through our lungs is a theory.
