  • Oh my god how great is our God !

  • This vid is popular on Saudi Arabia

  • i put my finger in uranus

  • this goes beyond the solar system, rookie video naming error.

  • @mthoma1000 Which is why it's a perspective ON the solar system... what's your point?

  • like holy

  • Big or small, it's all amazingly beautiful.

  • its cool to see how small we are

  • GrEaT!

  • like this if uranus is a planet too

  • you forgot uranus

    

  • tHank you\

  • LOL you forgot Uranus XD or is that still attached to your butt? :3

  • @Portal2Rulez its not his video...he didnt forget it

  • @Portal2Rulez well someone did.

  • Pollux : 6962500 km <

    Arcturus: 4177500 km?

    how is this possible?

  • where's uranus?

  • BUMBACLAT!

  • APOGEE whiz!

  • That was brilliant friend

  • how o mai good

  • how can our sun be so small compared to the end one?? how can they vary so much?????

  • Wow..if we imagine the earth 1 mm large...W Cephei is a huge ball of 288 m

    Absolutely astonishing

  • @Herik77

    Isn't the biggest star VY Canis Majoris? Regardless this is amazing.

  • It just kept getting bigger!!

    

  • how long would it take to go around v v cephei?

  • Obvious sign of creationism

  • i wonder if those ants are thinking. we humans think whats outside of space, they think whats outside their country

  • Wat are all these extra suns???? I'm an 8th grader

  • @ForeverMariah1995 they aren't suns they are different types of Stars.

  • Ooof

  • me senti como una mierda xD

  • When I put my hand on it my hand is bigger 

  • We aren't small. The rest of the universe is bigger.

  • vy canis majoris would be nice

  • holy crap. o.o

  • We aren't small. the rest of the universe is bigger.

  • vy is not there

  • where is my jaw?

  • We're actually very BIG within. We have a mind that can investigate the universe and understand its formation and discover new things. When you Look at the BIGGER picture we're actually quiet BIG.

  • @NobleUniverse That's right, there is a theory that things do not exist unless we conciously watch them.

  • @NobleUniverse Nope... Not knowledge can not over power something trillions of times larger than our planet which is trillions of times larger than us.

    Yep, all science and knowledge aside, we're all screwed.

  • @NobleUniverse And of course you remove your comment and run... How mature.

  • @AndyHarglesis My comment was "I didn't know you were 13 year old kid otherwise I would have been more elaborating" but then I was like hmmm he's a kid, and I dont' take on kids. so I deleted. Nothing to do with maturity. Just didn't want to ignore you cuz you're a kid.

  • Let´s learn humility!

  • Base from reading books I knew this but its sure does help to get a visual. Puts things into perspective and show how pathetic people are with all their puny little problems and wars and hatred. So pathetic.

  • looking at the sizes of the other stars, if I would be an alien I wouldn't even bother to go near our small star because planets around may (/not) harbour any life.Bigger sun makes logical sense that there would be more planets, moons, even asteroids, that could contain life.

  • @lech1234567

    The aliens are just curious how such a small solar system continues to have life in it. That is why they observe and disable nukes.

  • @lech1234567

    Sadly this is incorrect, a bigger sun means, that there is lesser time for life to even evolve.

    Bigger suns burn their fuel way faster than small suns, the bigger they are, the less time is avaiable for life to form.

    Some of the biggest suns only life for a few million years.

  • In the beginning, I was all like, "Oh shit! We're much bigger than tiny Mars Venus and Mercury! Ha! H.." then 0:25 through 1:42 happened.

  • seamusg

  • Thank the gods those bigs are not even a couple of lights years near us. If they were to blow up, we are toast.

  • Nah, you can be christian and believe in evolution.

    Just look at me.

  • cant even begin to comprehend it really... we are so insignificant, yet so amazing at the same time. we build citys and civilization..yet we r very very nanoscopic in size, not even a piss molicule in a rain drop if that makes sense

  • スケールの大きさに驚きました。

  • god dam! mind blowing....

  • es un video impresionante por la pequeñez de nuestro sistema solar. el universo es gigantesco, que nuestra mente es dificil hacerse una idea exacta, de como es en realidad. muy buen video.

  • es un video impresionante por la pequeñez de nuestro sistema solar. el universo es  gigantesco, que nuestra mente es dificil hacerse una idea exacta, de como es en realidad. muy buen video.

  • "big" and "small" are human concepts, the reality is that all is infinite each way, so the perspective of "big" or "small" comes from the point where you are standing looking into or outward.

  • @artistascreativos You couldnt have wrote a more ambiguous comment. Rational minds talk specifically

  • I cant find a video on here that depicts the orbits of the planets around the sun in our galaxy, all of them all different... why?

  • I officially feel hopeless.

  • @CathayGuy jaaj It's true.. u_ù

  • There is always a bigger fish..

  • planets and stars? they are only groups of molecules binding by gravitation in a short distance. but does anybody know how gravitation exactly works? i mean, how can it hold together millions of stars to form a galaxy? how does it hold together a cluster made of galaxies? is it strong enough to make a big-crash?

    13500000000 years gone. what next? collapse again to zero?

  • @LordWoodsie I can recommend a small book called "the last 3 minutes". It deals with the "end" of the universe and is quite interesting.

    Gravity works essentially by bending space and time, this can be observed during eclipses where the stars "behind" the sun seem to be at different locations than they normally are because the sun "bends" the space and the light as well.

  • @Korkzor that's alright: gravity works exactly as you wrote - we can see what's behind a star by bending space. and we know about "gravity lenses" made by huge groups of galaxies - so now we can see the edge of the universe.

    but what is a "gravitron"? does this particle exist? (if not, what else can hold this world together?) but if it still exists, how on earth we can't detect it? why there's not a Grand Unification Theory? :-)

    this video proves:

    we are still so small...

  • @LordWoodsie It´s just, you asked if anyone knows how gravity works and I just wanted to answer it :)

    If your question was more specific, with regards to the galaxy, it works because gravity as accumulative. It´s actually the weakest of the 4 forces - just by lifting a book you´ve overcome the gravity of an entire planet. But gravity is pulling Andromeda towards us, even though it´s 2.5 million light years away.

    I´ve never heard of a graviton and I dont think it exists.

  • @Korkzor yeah it is the weakest force but the range of it is infinity. and of course it accumulates 'cos it comes from MASS. and every particle have mass (i don't know if fotons have?) more mass - more gravity.

    perhaps we should forget about "gravitons". this force sure comes from the mass of a particle (if we can define what a particle is: made of 3-4-5? quarks)

    but what is a quark? U/D/C/B/S/T: are they particles too? if they are particles, what components are they made of? :-)

  • @LordWoodsie No photons have no mass... all atoms have mass which is odd...cos I didn't even know they were catholic!

  • @Korkzor

    NASA conducted an interesting experiment to find a relationship between gravity and time. They synchronized 2 atomic clocks and sent one away from Earth. Once it was far enough away from the influence of Earth's gravity, they noticed that it slowed down, however slightly. It's just interesting that such little things you wouldn't normally think about work like that.

  • @baconpatrol1 Yes, it´s very counterintuative this particular effect. But then again, quantum mechanics is also completely weird.

    But you´d think time was constant - an unchangable size, unstoppable force. But it´s not, it´s just a product of space and movement - apparently.

  • @baconpatrol1 In fact that experiment was done a long time ago... today GPS systems use a patch to account for relativistic effects... otherwise your GPS would fall out by about 7km a day!

    Even today when there is a high tide those patches in some GPS satellites are subjected to relativistic effects caused by the extra mass of the moon in those cases your GPS can screw up!

  • @baconpatrol1, shouldn't it have speeded up in a reduced gravitational field? What might have slowed it down was the speed it was travelling. When you are walking, time passes about 1 attosecond/second more slowly than when you are standing still.

  • @LordWoodsie Whether the universe will collapse on itself depends on the mass. There is a "critical" mass point where if the total mass in the universe is below that point, the universe will expand forever, while if it´s larger, the universe will essentially "reverse" it´s expansion and collapse in on itself in what is known as the big crunch :).

  • Maravillosoo!

  • Uranus is as big as Neptune ;) so only Neptune needed to be shown...nobody really cares to see Uranus anyway, it's just full of methane gas and probably smells to :D

  • Comment removed

  • dude, where did u fucking get all this information, who told you about all this shit ?

    ..and error , 0:54 POLLUX with 6'962,500 Km and the next one ARCTURUS with less 4'177,500 Km

  • @KURUKSTRA Yeah,total error...

  • Whats the name of the song

  • wheres Uranus?!?

  • Where's VY Canis Majoris?

  • So... your sayin our live is not long enough to travel by W Cephei on light speed? o_O! (I did not calculate this in anyway and foregot what cephei's size is so dont flame :p)

  • Great size perspective. Jupiter and it's moons are my favorite next to Earth (of course).

  • lol

    

  • I wish I could find a video of the solar system to scale in orbit? I heard Pluto isn't in line with the other planets and it even crosses the path of other planets. I can't find a single video that shows it. Why are there so many rubbish junior school videos?

  • @SuzLa1, Have you checked the KhanAcademy channel?  I remember seeing some videos on this topic.

  • thumbs up if you had no idea what was behind the sun. because, like, wtf.

  • @mikethps i knew

  • @mikethps If you are referring to everything starting with Sirius, they are some of the brightest stars in Earth's night sky.

  • Helloooooooo is anyone missing over there? Please lineup if possible :)

  • why is rigel always shown in blue , it cant be blue in real life , shorly not .

  • @djscottdog1 It can.

  • @JeffreyOKay wow

  • @djscottdog1 Depending on how hot the star is, the color will vary from red, orange, yellow, green, or blue. What changes the heat of the star can be many different things, but I think the main thing is how much of what kind of element it is burning.

  • @JeffreyOKay According to Wien's law, the peak wavelength of the thermal emissions of a star is directly linked to its surface temperature. Since the surface of Rigel is at about 11000°C, its peak wavelength is in the UV. From the visible component of the light a bigger fraction comes from the blue part of the spectrum so Rigel appears to be bluish white. The element that is produced in the star's core has no impact on the color.

  • @vinzenzu They undergo nuclear fusion. It's all because of the gravity. They burn because of elements. It's a bunch of variables.

  • When MY Cephei came up, I was like 0_o

  • Diameter of the last star is approximately 3 light-hours!

  • Holy shit! After that blue star my brain started yelling: NO MORE!!!

  • Why is this set to porn music?

  • our sun is like a planet when comparing W Cephi, we got Uranus! LOLwut?

  • where can i find the full video?

  • O_O where's Uranus?

  • lol, stop picking on him already. This video is over 3 years old, I'm sure someone told him loooong ago. I think the video was great, it did what it promised.

  • you forgot untapiux , kretencina, budala ,klokan, guzna dlaka ,peh toliko, burazer,

    and most important Orgromna Kurcina its tha biggest

  • This is impossible: Pollux = 6,962,500 km and Arcturus = 4,177,500 km.

    Arcturus is 22,101,000 km.

  • The too last looks like big boobiz :) i like it :P

  • everything can be known in a comparison. /...and i lookandlookandlook and cant stop/

  • Now after watching this vid , I feel like a piece of shit!

  • what god can do to prove that he exists is to destroy us and send good people yo haven and bad people to hell and all the disbelievers will go to hell and burn forever

  • @ssj5omar Thats very humanitarian of god... obviously both God and you get a definition of 'all loving' from a different dictionary than I do.... This would probably be the 'twisted' dictionary...where love = hate and good = bad and all sorts of doublespeak is going on.

    And erm... does hell have observable laws of physics that allows heat to obey the laws of thermodynamics? 

  • the things after sun, didn't know they exist :D

  • @mozahemi you didn't know other stars existed??? never looked up at night then i take it....

  • @e5point0 no you retart, I meant the name of all these start and the size of which is bigger

  • @mozahemi Wow! you didn't know stars existed? like...for real? stars...the big firey thigs in the sky...

    You're profile says you are 21! and you didn't know that the 400 billion stars in just our galaxy alone were even there? is there something wrong with your neck that forces you to look at the ground all the time and you've never seen the sky?

  • @MumblingMickey

    400 billion stars ? Must be inflationary.. Try 100 billion as a rough estimate.

    jp

  • @johnpro2 Given the current estimates based on luminosity, energy output and the mass of the center of the galaxy then 400 billion is probably more accurate...larger stars die off more quickly and there simply too much energy to account for lots of really large ones on the other side of the galaxy that would explain the electromagnets energy output of the galaxy...

    But if you're gonna nitpick then yeah it could also be 100 billion... somewhere between 100 billion and 400 billion.

  • @johnpro2 plus smaller stars burn more slowly... but that also means they burn off less energy... which makes them a lot harder to detect. Its probably easier to just select a representative local portion of the galaxy... count the stars there, then work out the average number of dwarf and low output stars from that.

    Proxima Centauri for example would be impossible to detect if it were not so close... its only a little larger than Jupiter! And the smaller stars last billions of years.

  • @MumblingMickey

    Unfortunately a guy like me gets all tongue tied once past a few hundred or so..

    Counting stars or even counting Bill Gate$ billions can cause confusion.

  • @BenTibone than what?, youranus?

  • this dosnt explan how big god is. i mean if he can do this what else can he do to prove to us that he does exist

  • @Alucard3789 erm... how about since he's omnipotent (puts tongue in cheek) then he creates a room from which he himself cannot escape! (see how omnipotence is just a little logically impossible)

    And erm... not to put too fine a point on it.. but why would a god be a 'he' to begin with...and if he is a he...does that not immediately tell you that there is an opposite to this god being a he? (again approaches the logical impossibility of gods who don't reproduce having a gender)

  • @MumblingMickey The flaws in the cliches that you are parroting fail to consider that you can't create a negative. Another mistake you make is assuming that human analogies apply to God. They do not.

  • dude i like this video but it should include the biggeest star and the ones that come second and third at least...aa fuck it

  • wholy shit

  • Surely this cant be right..... They cant be that big? I want proof please

  • @OutrunTheWolf why would you not think things can get that big? look up how planets are made, now they'l show you how the moon was made or the earth, now multiply that by 10000000 times, you'll see what I'm talkin about,

  • @OutrunTheWolf I think hubble has so far produced a total of 300 Petabytes of data... thats over 300,000 terabytes! or just over 300 million gigabytes!

    a lot of that is proprietary data available from STScI, CADC and ESO. Thats just 1 source. The scale of individual stars can be worked out from home with a telescope and a USB attachment to a PC! Total setup cost would be less than $500... the software as far as I know is free. You will need to know what you are doing!

  • @MumblingMickey Why should anyone want to work out the scale of individual stars from home for any amount of money (which would be entirely wasted), when Hubble and the professionals either have already done so, or can do so better? What would be the point?

  • @DoctorLawyerWhatever

    Well firstly those flaws aren't flaws...they were first mooted by Averroës then by Aquinas its called the omnipotence paradox! Are you claiming you have a logical solution to the omnipotence paradox... fuck man, lets hear that!

    I was answering somebody that didn't know how big stars were, or how its that is known. People invest in home astronomy because they like to learn things. Given your question, I can only assume I'm introducing a new concept to you! That of learning.

  • @OutrunTheWolf But essentially... yep thats the size of stars... larger ones are less common... smaller ones are more common..... and some smaller stars are more massive (contain more mass)

    Some very, very small stars...such as neutron stars which would be just 10 miles wide can actually give off more energy than our galaxy... a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh about a billion tons on earth!

    So size isn't everything!

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • holy crap beteigeuze isnt the biggest... wowz

  • this is pretty crazy however remember this there are billions of stars in the galaxy and there are billions of galaxys, in fact scientists have calculated that there are more stars than there are grains of sand on every beach in the world, that will give you a true idea of just how small we are compared to the universe lol

  • Super mais t'as oublié URANUS !!!

  • We're very small on a universal scale, hey, that reminds me, I wonder why were we created so small, hmm...what's out there and or what are we hiding from ?

  • @Airahdon we gotta go to the center of the galaxy to find out man

  • Where's Uranus?

  • and christians think all this was created just for us... lol...

  • @UnluckyGambler yeh lucky us right? gifted by god and trapped on a small rock without the skill to go anywhere, the only ones in this massive universe

  • @UnluckyGambler :  "Christians" dont think it was created for us anyone who knows anything about the Bible would know everything was created for God....funny when people talk about things they know nothing about.

  • @brenleewiebe bullshit.

    not surprising, most christians know less about their religion than explicit atheists like me.

  • @brenleewiebe

    Sim universe ?...although I suspect he went off to some other part of the universe and just more or less left us to our own devices..

    btw ..if Jesus returns will he still be a Jewish gent or clean shaven non denominational evangelical Christian ?

  • @johnpro2 How funny would it be if a guy turned up doing miracles on TV and announced he was Jesus reborn...but had a scientific explanation for it...since he himself was an atheist! now that... would be funny! maybe Jesus is actually David Blaine?

  • @brenleewiebe

    "would know everything was created for God"

    agreed... it certainly is really funny when people talk about things they know nothing about!

  • @UnluckyGambler

    Adam, Eve and some say Steve ..

  • @UnluckyGambler nop, only some groups thinks that way. Most of Christians (catholics with pope for ex.) accept theory of evolution, theory of big bang etc. Just as said John Paul II (for sky and haeven in Polish is the same word, "niebo"), the religion isn't abaout explaining how the sky is created, bo to explain how to get there (in mining heaven).

  • @ElathirAludas take ur bullshit somewhere else. tired of debunking u christians over and over again.

  • @ElathirAludas

    Look, you can't be a Christian AND believe in evolution. A Christian is someone who holds a specific set of beliefs, and if you don't hold those beliefs then you are simply NOT a Christian.

    If you want to believe in evolution then have some balls and be your own religion, hold your own beliefs and keep those beliefs from Christianity that you DO believe in. I'm sure God, if he does exist, will respect that far more than if you blindly follow some crap that is blatantly wrong.

  • This is not true. f.e in catholics theology there is no due to belive in Creationism, it's only a option. You can folow theory of evelution if you want. Most od priest that I know doesn't believe in Creationism, with last pop for example.

    Ps. If I have to gues, i would say that you are from USA :)

  • man....we are like ants :(

  • more like atoms

  • yeah...thats more it ;_; aww... i feel so worthleeeessss!!!

  • @boozyyyy

    Not the same god moron. WAKE UP!!!

  • Wow we really are just a piece of spunk

  • You have placed the planets in reverse order in relation to the sun.

    Lucifer works in reverse!!!

    This is a poor example of a Galactic visual aid!

  • No... He has placed them in order of magnitude. From smallest to largest... Pretty simple.

  • Oh, O.k. That makes a lot more sense to me now.

    Thanks much!

  • No problems..Confused me at first.

    By the way... He did leave Uranus out ... I hope this doesn't mean we are about to lose another planet :)

  • funny, I'm not too concerned about that. I watched Jupiter eat that comet a bunch of years ago in real time from the hill in Madison with the big scope, lol

  • Shoemaker-Levy?

    Lucky lucky bastard. That would have been cool to see live.

  • @gadget133

    Yep, Right from the big UW telescope right in Madison. It was neat. I bet the scars are still on Saturn to this day.

  • @arctictimberwolf

    Oddly enough the scars are on Jupiter, not on Saturn.  :)
