Andromeda Galaxy Hubble Video
Loading...
Uploaded by TheAstronomer2 on Jul 23, 2011
This video shows NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images of four regions in the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. Hubble's position above the distorting effect of the atmosphere, combined with the galaxy's relative proximity, means that the galaxy can be resolved into individual stars, rather than the cloudy white wisps usually seen in observations of galaxies.
These observations were made in order to observe a wide variety of stars in Andromeda, ranging from faint main sequence stars like our own Sun, to the much brighter RR Lyrae stars, which are a type of variable star. With these measurements, astronomers can determine the chemistry and ages of the stars in each part of the Andromeda Galaxy.

If the human race is still here 10,000 years from now. How will we have evolved, and into what ??
-
the human race will never stop fighting. it's built into our minds.. a couple billion less would do the earth some good anyway. the human race is extremely far from invincible. and earth will be doing well millions of years long after we're gone.
-
@hardstyle905but exponential growth, if humanity ever manages to stop fighting amongst itself, we could possibly start colonizing new planets. once that happens the human race is pretty much invincible. 2 planets grown to 4, to 16 and so on because of technology

@Poparotzi Lol I think you mean descendants not ancestors :)
-
@hardstyle905 Your right... "We" wont be able to discover everything but our ancestors ancestors ancestors ancestors ancestors "will"

This makes me sad. Space is so HUGE, and we will never be able to discover everything :(
