GigaGalaxy Zoom - From The Eye To The Telescope

[gurra1351]

SO AMAZING! I LUUUUV SPACE!!

[KylaA5952]

Would you hurry up and find the dragon nebula for me?

[CommissarASSHOLE]

Some day, mankind will build a galactic empire over all the Milky Way.

[junfaa]

@CommissarASSHOLE someday not so far away hopefully within the next few years we can travel to other planets

[filthyduck]

..space, the final...sorry, I got carried away...these are great shots of the sky...

[Xavyroo]

Astronomy is amazing!

[BFDK]

Amazingly beautiful

[oskoret]

WOW!

[jebus6kryst]

This is wonderful.

[mt75270]

i did not know that you could do this kind of thing during day light

[Ryagful]

THIS IS AWSOME

[BlueStarFlower]

Amazing images

[CrownRoyalSociety]

Is that the place where they filmed Quantum of Solace at 3:18?

[Remagoen]

Nice catch!!

[TravisMorien]

That must be some good shit! :P

[ngarbo00]

impressive. thanks BOS!

[Antichryst666]

Absolutely amazing.

[logoth80]

anyone knows why we can see those gass clouds?

do they emite light? or reflect it?

[TravisMorien]

The red and pink nebula are glowing due to internal excitation, they get their colour because of some prominent hydrogen emission lines.

The blue ones are reflecting light. Blue light is easily scattered while red more easily passes through gases unscattered, (hence our sky is blue and our sunrise/sunset is red).

There are also black clouds which are just gas, supernova remnants which are usually big bubbles.

[logoth80]

tnx mate.

[gothatfunk]

terrific. thanks, that was gorgeous.

[KronosDeret]

Well now, where is my warp drive? Cmon, I know we can do it somehow. The minute it is possible for civlian to became crew on starship traveling through galaxy (what a tourist oportunity right?).. i am in.

[jmthetank]

You can already, if you want to finance the mission.

[KronosDeret]

I know that I can buy a trip around the Earth off the atmosphere, I was joking about traveling to interesting places in our galaxy. Kind of sightseeing with the help of warp engine. No cryo, no sleeping, just a week in the universe :)

[jmthetank]

Would be nice to be able to travel at the speed of thought to any point in the universe, check out all the interesting and awe inspiring things there is to see. Get close to a black hole without being effected by it. See the galaxies with our naked eyes, not with a telescope.

I can certainly appreciate your meaning, and would give a limb or two to be able to do it.

*sigh*

[destroyerdragon2002]

well if we get past the speed of light techinally( cause i cant spell theoretically?) we can reverse time which in my opinion would make this conversation turn into a very long one

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

Even if we found a way to travel at light speed it would still take four years to travel to the closest star system (4.2 light years away.) And ten and a half years to the closest known extrasolar planet. (10.5 light years) Many things would still be out of reach.

Scientists say forward time travel is more far more plausible than backwards. And even if you could theoretically travel backwards you would only be able to travel back as far as the first "time machine" was created.

[arachnophile01]

to my limited understanding there are some strange effects that can go for some distance instantaneously. if we could control a quantum force like that, then we would be able to transport information faster than the speed of light. a teleporter could,if such a force exists which i am not sure of, simply send peoples dna and neuro-patterns, then that person could travel faster than the speed of light, granted that wed have to superspeed gestiation as well.

[memonk11]

This stuff is so awe inspiring I can't even come up with a comment.

[zoxovox]

I feel like I got high on something watching the last minute. The Wonder!

[jesse0192]

Wow... you just have to watch this in high-def... what a coolass universe.

[philhellenes]

Just gimmie my ship and let me go! (And make it a BLOODY fast ship!)

[philhellenes]

Just watched some bits of this over and over.

[Alyks1]

I think this is something that both theists and atheists alike can sit back and admire for their own reasons. It seems there are so few things these two parties can agree own.

[Alyks1]

Wow!

[GatorHighlights3]

amazing

[freezatron]

if only he existed outside the imagination of men...........

[m3th0dm4n]

God is the biggest non-factor ever imagined.

[ModelAnarchist]

What's incredible is the stupid shit some idiots will believe

[sagemaster]

what are you talking about?

[ModelAnarchist]

sage, youtube really needz to get its comments straight :D

Someone commented that god is amazing....

[sagemaster]

ooh, i see, thanks i wasn't aware of that xD.

ah well. people like that get indocternated at a young age, so independant thinking for religions people is every hard. it's kinda sad really.

[ModelAnarchist]

I like you :D

[sagemaster]

Yippie =D

[twolf422]

pretty sweet. something i will have to check out

[n1bigdaddy]

I can't wait to visit some of those stars someday.

[AlderDragon]

Interesting thought :)

Lots of these pictures do look like fractals.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

God could never create something as beautiful as this.

[waspbloke]

Wonderful. We are so very very small.

[anglaismoyen]

Why would anyone votebot an astronomy video? Maybe literal anti-intellectuals.

[dannukesem]

I suppose there's always a few in the crowd, but I can appreciate this so it got 5 stars from me :)

[fmamand]

I wish I can see the sky through these telescopes by myself!

[CoolConejo]

You wouldn't see what they represent here, These are overlaps of X-Ray, Radio,Micro, Gamma, InfraRed and UltraViolet light That we can't see, But They are assigned a color code To make it visible to us, Even tho, In reality, We wouldn't and Couldn't be able to see it. But still amazing!

[TravisMorien]

Actually those seem to be just visible light photos. But you are right that you wouldn't see the colours. Human night vision (rods) is not colour sensitive, so it is rare to see much colour when looking through a telescope. Most commonly bright stars will appear red or blue.

When you see gas nebulae through a telescope, if they are bright enough you might see some green, that being the colour our eyes are most sensitive to, and the wavelength of certain Hydrogen and Oxygen emission lines.

[Shalek]

What a trip.

[SteelBalor]

so many stars, 0_0

[FreeInquisition]

Those images are PWN

[CousinoMacul]

Beautiful!

You should include a link the GigaGalaxy site in your description.

[samuraispacemonkey]

Wonderful. I love this channel!

[nixonfanatic]

Fantastic images!

Thanks, as always, for bringing us this wonderful stuff.
