Phantom Galaxy Revealed

[davefk]

What causes the center of the galaxy to be so bright?

[LeviNinetyone]

GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE...NOT DARWIN!! ALSO IF THEYRE NO AIR IN SPACE AND FIRE NEED AIR TO BURN THEN Y THE SUN BURN? STUPID ATHEISTS BELEEV IN GOD NOW PLEASE

[Mostwantedo]

@LeviNinetyone Hope you're a troll.

[Sp1riTCHL]

@LeviNinetyone If i get enough power i send people like you to labor camps to build spaceships so that we, smart atheists can go explore the universe without your fairytales.

[LeviNinetyone]

@Sp1riTCHL fuck you...if no oair in space then why sun burn? god did it u fucking dick

[Sp1riTCHL]

@LeviNinetyone Do you know anything? That reply is one the worst of its kind. Goto wikipedia, type in " star " and read. Heres a great question. Where did god come from? And please dont tell me it created itself because it would make you look even dumber. And its funny how you try to be smart, but still believe in something that supports as much as evidence as Spaghetti monster. Kill yourself, your no use to humanity.

[LeviNinetyone]

@Sp1riTCHL answer my question u fucking dick... y the sun burn when no air in space. god does it. and god has always been alive nobody created god god created you you fucking fdick shut the fuck up and answer my question you fucking dick

[Sp1riTCHL]

@LeviNinetyone Okay listen you ignorant Christian fuck that should be gassed to death in Auschwitz. A star begins as a collapsing cloud of material composed primarily of hydrogen, along with helium and trace amounts of heavier elements. Once the stellar core is sufficiently dense, some of the hydrogen is steadily converted into helium through the process of nuclear fusion. It doesnt need AIR if it gets energy from a nuclear reaction. Its called " chemistry ". Ever heard? Retard.

[Sp1riTCHL]

@LeviNinetyone God is infinite? Hahaha. You religious fucks seriously dont have any sort of brainfunction. How this? God did it! How that? God did it! Like your so stupid that you need a simple fairy answer to all your questions. God, God, God. God was created by the evolution, inside the imagination of a primate. And what does bible say? Be polite to other people? But yet still your here swearing and calling me dick. Your going to hell you know. Haha. Self fail.

[GeneralParadigm]

The HST was a bright idea. Throughout its many years of stellar service, it has come shining through.

[sask523]

look at his neck when he says 32 million lightyears

[REDTEAM22003]

i like the fake point and moving screen, LMAO

[REDTEAM22003]

This is fake, it doesnt talk about galaxies in the bible therefore its fake

[nickharvey7]

Beautiful image! I am an artist on YouTube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time

This theory is based on just two simple postulates

1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function explained by Schrödinger’s wave equation represents the forward passage of time itself

2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event

[puncheex]

@nickharvey7: What verifiable observations does your theory predict?

[nickharvey7]

@puncheex This theory can explain the nature of light in the Two Slit Experiment.

[ArnoldVeeman]

really great images

[pyrea17]

so worth a sub!

[nightgrooveruk]

Awesome ~:)(:~

[darkbluemars]

wow even galaxies form hearts

[691hey]

what sup with the guy's voice? not try to be mean or anything...but his movements and his voice annoy me...

[Misterfoxione]

very nice! :) but in my opinion to make this even better is that you need a coffee? ^^ :)

[jameilious]

"Welcome to the holocaust"

[sajko7]

@jameilious I heard the same thing.. LOL

[ziochristmas]

@jameilious lol, scary!!!

[wfly81]

@jameilious [Spit take]...I'm sorry. What did he say?

[shabongin]

What planet does Dr.J come from? Thats a weeiiirrddd accent! Good stuff though as always.

[Kingkalty]

google Doe's Account, its mindblowing

[shabongin]

@Kingkalty I downloaded the pdf of Doe's Account after reading your comment and i have to say its a fascinating read....Im just not sure of it's validity yet. It reads like a fictional novel. There is very little elsewhere to be found on the internet about it which then makes me think that if it is a "blair witch style marketing scam" then its not really achieving much publicity and could very well be true. What do you think?

[CFrostyTheSnowman]

Need James Webb sending us images asap :)(

[RustyKoi]

This makes me want to explore the stars myself..

Also, 'Dr. J' totally threw me back to Gundam Wing.

[ridelo]

I don't care is somebody speaks to me as if I was only 5 years old if the subject is out of my range. As long as he helps me understand more of it.

[ItsOttis]

that guys voice, neck, glasses and head movements annoy me.

[sigurjs]

"They can't even get a picture of the surface of pluto but they keep releasing these far mor distant images and stupid humans keep eating it up, unbelievable!!"

The ignorance of this comment is simply astounding.

Lookit...

- Distant stars and galaxies radiate their own light

- Pluto does not.

[skyblazer7]

Seriously. The angular size of Pluto's disk is several thousand times smaller than M74 or M51.

[sigurjs]

Plus, Pluto is pretty tiny so there's the issue of image resolution. But don't worry. The New Horizons mission will reach pluto in 2015 so expect to see better images then.

[Th3Minx]

Um, the fact that light travels almost 200000 miles per second has nothing to do with our ability to take photos of space objects, since light has been streaming to us from them for billions of years. The light our instruments are detecting from M74 is simply ancient light given off 32 million years ago. Obviously we can't see what the place looks like at this precise moment, but no one is claiming that we do.

[martiangrundy]

@BIGTHINGZPOPPN87

When you talk about things you obviously know nothing about, you run the risk of coming off like an ignorant chump.

As is the case here.

Instead of jumping to silly conclusions, it would be an idea to educate yourself, at least a little.

I don't suppose you're aware, but we can see 2.2 million light years away, with the naked eye. (Only from a very dark place though, with NO light pollution).

Distraction from WHAT btw??? Surely you're not alluding to a fairy tale???

[Helge129]

@BIGTHINGZPOPPN87 Let me get a few facts straight for you, idiot.

Firstly light travesl at 186000 mph, secondly, pluto appears much much smaller than this galaxy.

And thirdly, they can, and have, taken images of the surface of pluto.

[puncheex]

@BIGTHINGZPOPPN87: I know someone who didn't make it through "Topics in Science" class. All that skepticism an no rational basis.

[mostliberal]

I hate it when scientists talk to the audience in a tone that suggests we're all a bunch of 5 year old retards.

[exconguitar]

How else can you convert the religious?

[mostliberal]

You can't, they don't respond to common sense.

[magua73]

Well actually is the opposite if you think about it. ;)

[btwbrand]

Far As I can tell, this particular program is intended to expose swaths of people with little to no interest in the stars to the complexity and hidden beauty of those mysterious "lamps" in the sky. The tone is like that of an adult talking to a 5 year old because, for the most part, there isn't much difference between those watching this and a 5-year old in ability to comprehend. Yes it's all pretty pictures and "altered" imaging because the actual images are some-what bland to the populace.

[btwbrand]

But for the most part I enjoy watching this the same as everyone else. It's a nice condensed version of the information that is available for public consumption on the net at the NASA/ESA sites, on-line, in an easy to swallow pill.

[sorry8140]

hubblecaust? really?

[upublic]

=))

[crispybacon100]

Hot young stars lol

[r32adt3db]

Hey, is that pedobear over there behind saturn?

[upublic]

LMAOS =))

[PaganSteve]

that was cool

[floatingdeathguy]

Hi there i'm up for a nice chat

[NeedsEvidence]

Does somebody have a lateral view of M74? If so please send me a PN:-)

[NeedsEvidence]

1:17 GERMAN ACCENT & FACE ALERT "Thirty-two-MILLion light years away from earth." LOL!

[frack136]

Nicely spotted, I see it at 1.19 :)

[NeedsEvidence]

I added two extra seconds so people can adapt their brains accordingly before 1:19 :-)

(I am so mean to Germans, but being a German myself gives me some immunity, right?)

[orion0283]

The voice of the guy with the glasses sounds EXACTLY like the Chocolate Rain Guy!!!!

[jnrolf]

Yawn!

[nickharvey7]

Beautiful !

I have seen this galaxy I could not see the splral arms but it was nice to see it with my own eyes. There must be a universal process to create the spiral symmetry of the galaxies.

[willowtreephoto]

gravity

[wonderpope]

If Dr. J. had a bit of a more NY accent he would sound exactly like Christopher Walken :D

[drdalet]

If we look at these pictures we have to realise that we are looking back (in this case) about 30 million years ago - we have no idea what the present state of this galaxy is. A vision of our own galaxy must also be distorted.

We are always get to look at pictures of these galaxies without seeing what the center is like. However beautiful those images are, why not close up to the center to see what is there? Now all we see is an over-exposed spot.

[DavidRobertRoy]

The centre is a black hole like every other galaxy we have found so far, including our own. It keeps all the stars together and the large stars at the edge of the galaxy have enough pull to stop us drifting closer to the black hole.

[drdalet]

DavidRobertRoy; I know what the theories(!) are of the centre of Galaxies (black holes or instead! - the latest - neutron stars). It would be nice to see what the effects are in the centre of a galaxy (jet-streams fi). Do you know of real photos instead of artist renditions of the theories?

[DavidRobertRoy]

I do not think we yet have such technology, my understanding is that almost all current images we have are not taken as one would with a camera on earth that captures visible light but more many spectrums of light and radiation layered to create the image.

[puncheex]

@DavidRobertRoy: We acually do image deep space objects very much like we use a camera - open the shutter on a clear receiver (film, CCD), "count" the photons, and publish. One difference is that color uses filters one at a time during the gathering to build up the color image instead of using color sensitive receivers. A special spectrograph receiver is used when a full spectrum is needed. The separated colors make enhancements easy; as noted above, balanced images are very bland looking.

[heartlessvietboy]

I think we should together use one type of writing style (educational level). We do not use abbreviations anymore. We can lose the habit of writing with accuracy and precision. Then we will begin to understand one another. Everything should be broken down deep.

[puncheex]

@heartlessvietboy: Eh? What are you talking about here? Did my use of "CCD" offend your English usage?

[heartlessvietboy]

How do you make space?

[HumanStrategy]

I couldn't stop giggling from realizing that he was just acting when touching and swiping his hand hehe

[woodchip200z]

i reckon we could be a tiny cell on another being, and were too small to ever get out of the cell no matter how hard we try..

[jebus6kryst]

Amazing images.

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

Perhaps if and hopefully when they figure out exactly how the universe was created, then they might also figure out a means of space travel that similarly takes a fraction of a second.

( I mean, if the expansion of space went from a minute dot, to something so vast, then did not itself cover some vast distance in a fraction of a second?

( There in lies the secret to space travel ,., you can trust me, I am from the future! : ) )

[wildcatbungalo]

Yeah, sure, except expansion occurred under conditions in which the uncertainty principle ruled... good luck with that!

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

Huh!?!?  ... what the heck is the uncertainty principle,

and did, or did not something expand very rapidly?

[TheMathKing]

The momentum and position of a particle (even a collection of particles, but thats virtually impossible to calculate), are intertwined by a mathematical function called a fourier transform. The more we know of one, the more we push the other one to be in a state of "less knowledge". If you know exactly where one is, you'll never know how fast it's moving, for example. The universe appears to have expanded rapidly early on, but then very slowly for billions of years after.

[SeedLover101]

The universe appears to expanded rapidly then slowly because of enegry and in the beginning (this is a theory) a vast speard of enegry was released and cooled down, compare it to like a fire or something, it slowed down because energy was being dispsered throughout space.

[SeedLover101]

uncertainty principle is from Heinsburg stating the location and momentum of an electron cannot be determined at the same time, look it up if you want more details

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

The german neurobiologist ?

[SeedLover101]

It is obivious we are not going to find that out, since we are humans and most of the population doesn't care about space but instead on money and greed, which is very gay

[Kni7es]

You sounded so enlightening, right up until those last four words.

[SeedLover101]

what are you talking about, it is true

[wretcherwretch]

What, that you're a homophobe?

[omegavalerius]

Since when was greed a gay thing (in either one of the meanings of that word)?

[TheFemaleDurden]

Well, none of the two meanings of that word make sense here really..

[PluripotentBrain]

Oh the irony.

Your homophobic and your username is seed lover. Don't let any seed go to waste!

[SeedLover101]

wtf are you talking about my user name is refering to the gundam series but whatever, and no I am not homophobic, waste to letters to type to you btw

[adrenacrumb]

brilliant

[Chiflado21]

This looks so gorgeous in HD :)

[Paxmax]

ah.. 32 million LY... I guess we aren't going there tomorrow -Kids, unpack your bags!

stunning images!!!

[mikwid]

So much to see, learn and know about. I don't think we have any idea how vast and amazing space is.

[AncientAtheist]

Beautiful.

Question: With the many modern photographic techniques, why not simply "edit out" all stars in the foreground which are not a part of the galaxy being shown?

I'm glad Doc J explained this fact. As a complete novice, how would I have known?

[nub50wn]

fucking amazing 5/5

[Akirilus]

Impresive

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

How the heck did they see things like this in 1784???

I wouldn't have thought the telescopes they had back then were that good

[handplanty]

It was probably just a dot. Remember them saying it's such a faint thing, almost impossible to see? They probably saw nothing more than you and me see with the naked eye when looking at close stars. However dim though, it's still visible!

[FarSideofTown]

So how would they distinguish it as a galaxy from any other star?

[ComplexP2]

Messier catalogized objects which appear blur and dont move over time (he was actually hunting for comets). Such diffuse objects are very easy to distinguish from stars, which appear as bright and small dots.

[handplanty]

It was only until 1912 when Vesto Slipher tried to determine the emission spectra of certain nebulas. That's really the only way to figure out what a dot (or a blur) is made of as a way of deriving what it is without being able to see it.

No they didn't see the astonishingly beautiful spirals that Hubble sees :)

[ahr8p]

Maybe the less light pollution at this time is a point too... ?

[FarSideofTown]

Sure, and back then everything was a bit closer ( the expanding universe? ) but I still don't see how a guy in 1784

could figure some faint white dot through his viewfinder to be a galaxy as opposed to a star, .. but then to be honest, I have no idea what kind of equipment they had at their disposal back then!? ... ( other than I bet it was a tad ornate! )

[puncheex]

He didn't. He dscribed it as a nebula; that is, a bright patch that was not as sharp as a star.  Messier catalogues over a hundred of them. It wasn't until Hubble in the 1920s was able to resolve individual stars in Andromeda that we realized that some of these nebula were separate island universes outside our own; up till then they were lumped in with all the other nebulae as objects within the Milky Way.

[ahr8p]

"Sure, and back then everything was a bit closer"

rofl....

[FarSideofTown]

I can never tell if people are being sarcastic or what, ... but things were technically a bit closer back then no?, I am sure it didn't make an iota of difference, much like the city lights which is why I said it.

[ahr8p]

You*re rigth. my reaction was mistakable. It was a good and also funny thought by you. but not funny in a stupid way! sorry if I annoyed you, my english is too bad sometimes... :-)

[OriMeissa]

I love these Hubblecasts! What an amazing image. Andromedaswake has inspired me to take up some "Sirius Stargazing" and these videos just make me wish I had a Hubble telescope on order and not just a pair of high mag binoculars!!

30-32 million light years away!! It's so hard to even fathom such numbers. Light started travelling from these galaxies long before the Himalayas and the Andes even formed on earth. Truly mind boggling!!

[part2themovie]

@OriMeissa its like time travel everytime you perceive light

[wawa2]

Sorry to admit this, but I have had a crush on Dr. J's sexy geekiness since first catching these videos on a related channel. As always, amazing and moving imagery. I used to wait for these Hubblecast episodes to be uploaded... THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THEM!

[ahr8p]

Dr. J is really cute. And i think he's getting better and better in front of the cam.

As always, the pictures and the news are amazing!!!

100*

[wawa2]

:) Not "sorry" to admit it, in truth, I really just wanted to admit it...

[curvand]

God created all this for our pleasure... (LOL)

[bangNL94]

yeah lol and he waited an infinite amount of time to create us (LOL)

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

lol is right... it's laughable

[tigsdk]

Awesome.

[grebrim]

I love this channel

[MrSarcasm2]

*Faints*

[Plutonwolf]

My heart is stirred deeply by this sort of imagery, such incredible deeply moving beauty! Thank you thank you thank you!

[riversonthemoon]

[wolf whistle]

Hot, young stars!

[andiconda3]
