M15 - Globular Cluster - Deep Sky Videos

[Astrofish226]

Bravo.  Excellent video and looking forward to more in the series. Aloha.

[seedyf]

I cant wait to try and see this in my own telescope :-)

[MystikalMayhem]

wow that was pretty cool

[Corgonu]

just subscribed, whoa what great videos, I'm learning all sorts of new stuff, Thanks so much for taking the time to share the knowledge! :)

[mcrettable]

are there videos on stargazing and cosmology without fried eggs? if you know what i mean

[sestraux]

I just recently subscribed to you channel and I am amazed by all these wonderful videos the stars are fascinating as Spock would say. thanks for sharing!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@sestraux glad you're enjoying... just about to upload M105 video!

[ThoughtfulGeek]

Thanks for posting this helpful video. Please would you mind answering a quick question for me? At 6:00 - "In the terribly remote chance that there was a planetary system around one of these stars". Could I ask what makes you say the chance of finding a planetary system in a cluster of around 100,000 stars terribly remote? Wasn't the Arecibo message transmitted towards a similar cluster (M13?) because of the increased chance of finding an intelligent alient species there?

[DeepSkyVideos]

@ThoughtfulGeek you'll enjoy our upcoming M13 video I reckon!!!

[ThoughtfulGeek]

@DeepSkyVideos I'm enjoying all your videos :-)

[Somerco]

GREAT! Looking forward to your vids.

[JohnnyVegas420]

wow this was awesome!

[sjcwoor]

Dr Meghan Gray mentions that this system is below our galaxy.

How does one decide what is above and what is below us in space?

[jrtakesthesky27]

@sjcwoor She explains that if we take into account that the MW galaxy is a 2-d disk, M15 would be below the Galactic plane in respect to Earth's equator (Or the sense of what's above or below)

[cutiepie316289]

this is just awesome. I got so excited when I first saw this(I subscribed first glance), I told my dad and we both are in love. Thank you for doing this, its amazing and without it I wouldn't know what messier object was! :)

[DeepSkyVideos]

@cutiepie316289 glad you (both) like it... loads more to come.

[baalzebubdeffiu]

globular cluster: thousand of suns packed together. the universe is indeeed such a beauty and you guys are filming all of this. keep it up FOLKS!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@baalzebubdeffiu we will - lots more about globular clusters to come

[turbodyzel]

Hi, can someone tell me a site where i could learn how to take long exposure photos, what kinp of camera to use ant all that? thank you.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

wow. speechless. one of those vids where my mind has taken in so much and is on full digesting mode that I sometimes even to forget to click the like button. thanks again Brady and co for another AWESOME vid! (ps - dont worry, if i forget, i always come back to nail that like button! ;) ) space distances are just completely mindblowing...

[DeepSkyVideos]

@jeebersjumpincryst as long as you watch (and tell a few friends!) we don't mind what buttons you press

[MrDevlin350]

Awsome,I would love to have a telescope setup like that.Space just blows me away,totally awsome !

[Bobajobimus]

Another great vid as always. Thanks... as always.

[AntiProtonBoy]

Good to see Meghan back!

[Zee96969696]

just 10 light years? well, some day we can go there

[Bobajobimus]

@Zee96969696 10 light years across. Globular clusters are a very very long way away.

[oisiaa]

Isn't it great that we can learn more from a single filmmaker (and his subjects) than from the "Science Channel"!

[xJayJayx995]

How much does a set up like that cost?

[SpartanStig117]

how much does a telescope like this cost?

[252Laz]

Absolutely fascinating .. thank you so much x

[jamieball]

Thanks for posting this, the messier objects are my favorite! :)

[DeepSkyVideos]

@jamieball well we'll be doing videos about all of them I hope.

[taydigidy]

beautiful/ inspiring youtube is a better place with these channels thank you so much!

[eggroll9000]

Imagine if intelligent life existed on one or more planets in such a cluster... That would be perfect conditions for different alien species interacting with each other or one species colonizing many stars and building a huge empire... Mind = blown.

Thanks for the video!

[KennethBrandon]

M15 is my favorite Messier Object!

[andreirocks1992]

i've changed my mind. globular cluster are way cooler than galaxies. space travel would be much cooler inside one of those :|

[camelsat1]

We LOVE Deep Sky Videos because Meghan Gray is on !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maasusthefrozen]

the feeling when you wait 5 minutes and get to watch 5 seconds of video...

[IcEye89]

Are over and under really terms in which astronomers think? Or is that just a visual aid for us? How can that cluster be under the galaxy, maybe we think of it the wrong way up? The earths a bloody sphere - more or less - so it is possible we are all upside down all the time and the other planets are laughing at us.

[werdnativ]

So the theory is that galaxies are similar to a stellar disc like our early solar system; except instead of dust around a central proto-star mass, it's stars orbiting around a black hole? Is it possible that galaxies progress to eventually condense the stars around themselves into clusters, and eventually black holes? A kind of "solar system" of black hole "planets"?

[ConsciousAtoms]

Wow! I studied astronomy in the 90s, and I didn't know that globular clusters are suspected to have black holes in their centres. Very interesting stuff indeed!

[Prowler047]

Marvelous!!!

[Crunch0r]

I've seen a lot of the "Mesier's Objects" with my naked eye. Al be it without me knowing about it, glancing up in the sky.

Considering that every square inch is filled with these objects and all we need to do is look up. Looking thousands upon thousands of miles away. This is what fascinates me of astrology.

Thanks for the great video's Brady, keep up the good work! =)

[eggroll9000]

@Crunch0r It's astronomy, not astrology. Astrology = horoscopes and zodiac signs and shit... You shouldn't confuse the two things, it might be offensive to astronomers ;)

[Crunch0r]

@eggroll9000

I knew something was wrong in my sentence but I couldn't spot it.

Too bad my first language isn't English.

Thanks for telling me =)

[terrait]

Awesome, awesome videos your sharing with us. Already looking forward to the next one :)

[ohwhererehwho]

The fact that a black hole is at the core of all galaxies and it's size is proportional to the mass of stars that whirls around it, is quite intriguing. Makes me want to re-think the mythological "Big Bang" as non-local, non-simultaneous multiple events, each unfolding into the physics of the spacetime in which it was enclosed - mindboggling - it may explain the intergalactic partitions observed - differing densities and composition.

[1212JackJohnson]

How do you get remunerated for all this wonderful work? Where is the edge? Keep it up, I have followed you from Sixty Symbols thru Numberphile to this - brilliant!

[justajavajunky]

Brady, just keep the videos comming!! I've been whatching your videos for about two years now, and they keep getting better and better.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@justajavajunky thank you... here's to another two years hopefully! :)

[atthetopofmyvoice]

Wonderful video Brady. Tweeted it just now.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@atthetopofmyvoice thank you... tweets from our friends really help us reach new people, which is good!

[Supacalaz]

dam nature u scarey

[aFreeDooM]

Question , is there alot of mathematics involved within Astronomy?

Because it's something that i really want to work with when i grow older, but sadly it's where i falter within my grades.

[ConsciousAtoms]

@aFreeDooM I'm afraid astronomy is quite heavy on mathematics. When I studied astronomy in the 90s the maths and physics involved were a real stumbling block for some of the more enthusiastic "star gazers" amongst my fellow students.

I'm not saying that it is impossible to get a career in astronomy if your maths skills are less than stellar (some of the aforementioned star gazers did just that), but it will be hard during your undergraduate years.

[aFreeDooM]

@ConsciousAtoms Thank you very much for the reply. I'll see to it then that I'll get working on my mathematics skills :)

[MaCs1313]

I am the only one who always known that There is a black hole in the center of every galaxy and it's influence spans the whole galaxy ?

[Somerco]

Keep up your great work! Your channels have many interesting topics. Anything new on Foodskey any-time soon?

[DeepSkyVideos]

@Somerco more to come from Foodskey yes, stay subscribed to it (and it is on Twitter and Facebook too)! :)

[TheHemsworthboy]

You should put the coordinates of the messier objects on your next vids for us amateur astronomers.

[molbac]

a planet circeling two star is strange enough, but imagining living on a planet in this cluster is just bizzare

[jerommeke69]

Brady, this is really awesome!!! I really really like your work!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@jerommeke69 hey it's easy to point your camera and ask astronomers whatever question pops into your head! :)

[jerommeke69]

@DeepSkyVideos Haha! Well, you have to ask the right questions to the right people in the right places. That doesn't seem so easy!

[Freshman000000]

@DeepSkyVideos The difficulty of something does not necessarily correlate to its awesomeness. People love your videos because they are interesting, regardless of whether it was easy to make.

[wishbagii]

@DeepSkyVideos lol I like the way you make it easy

[HotblackDesiat042]

@DeepSkyVideos Well, I’m certainly glad you find it easy to point your camera and ask questions; we greatly appreciate you doing so and sharing the results with us. Thank you!

[WillEyedOney]

Another fantastic video, Thanks Brady!

[DaRealFiberOptix]

so cool, i wish i could watch the sun set on all the planets in the universe... without dieing

[TheDingiso]

I love you Brady!! 2 uploads a day! You make me the best Chinese New Year's Day

[DeepSkyVideos]

@TheDingiso I am pondering a third!

[TheDingiso]

@DeepSkyVideos That would be the best New Year's Day's present since the tea chemistry video

[xxmtgxx]

@DeepSkyVideos DO IT!

[ChRIs23696]

great job brady i think this is becoming my favorite channel :)

[KamekoBruns]

Awesome video Brady. I've got to be honest and tell you that all of your videos had made me wish I paid more attention in school. Thank you for doing these.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@KamekoBruns well as long as you pay attention to the videos we're happy!

[Mymetallicpotato]

I a film student and I'm a huge fan of your work, Brady! Keep up the great work!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@Mymetallicpotato Thank you...for the first time I actually have some help on my videos too... a guy called Stephen is editing some of the Deep Sky stuff... he did some work on this one.

[tmafkap]

Somehow this video makes me wonder how many science fiction authors get their inspiration from your work, Brady...

[nikodormius]

Thank you so much for these videos. Now I have the urge to look at the stars at night again.

[azmanabdula]

*in a death metal voice*

science rocks, all uphold the marvelous channel before our eyes!

[stevebonnar]

Lovin' the series, learning a lot.

[porkypine1888]

wewtwewt :D!

[Gnomeslayer778]

Out of curiosity, do astronomers(I think that's the right word) theorize on the theory that galaxies have black holes in the middle? o.o

Also, what's the deal with the black hole? o.O' I mean, black holes suck up everything, even time itself!! so therefore, eventually, our planet will get close enough to the black hole(if it isnt already) that time will get distorted. (ofcourse this is assuming our planet lives that long)

[zythepsarian]

i find it interesting how much galaxies seem to resemble atoms, perhaps in a way we are all just ultrasmall components on a scale we cannot comprehend for its sheer size....certainly the distances on a galactic scale alone are too boggling to really visuualize

[zythepsarian]

with the quantum multiverse theory there are infinite other universes coexisting in the same spacetime creating infinite possible realities, and that would include infinitely larger and smaller universes...i think i need a cup of tea

[MrSuednym]

Is Dr. Gray a Astronomer, or an astrophysicist?

[DazB85]

Nice series, keep em' coming!

[DryMouthFeeling]

Hey Brady, since nobody else has really commented on this video yet, I feel like we have some time to chat. So, how are you Brady? How's life?

[DeepSkyVideos]

@DryMouthFeeling I'm okay... A bit hungry actually...

[KamekoBruns]

@DeepSkyVideos lol.

[THECOMMENTER10000]

[TheHeyderefatty]

Another great video brady. Glad I subscribed to this channel too :P

[DeepSkyVideos]

@TheHeyderefatty glad to have you watching - on Thursday I'll be uploading something a bit different!
