I got this animation a long time ago.
I had the same doubt, but I realised that an ordinary Galaxy should be going through a significant instability to change it´s appearance like it does in the video...
-
so this galaxy could go quasar and the sky could be day time for a million years, thats a hell of a sun tan.
-
@pipeorganist looks more like a normal galaxy with a blue super giant infront of your face
-
Thats probably some bath whirlpool for a super massive giant!
-
@justas116 it is an active galaxy because the super massive black hole inside started a feeding frenzy so the quasar around it shines very brightly
-
Actually the current definition of quasar (quasi-stellar radio source= almost star) is: nucleus of a galaxy, powered by the energy of matter that is being absorbed by the black hole (also in the centre.. with millions of solar masses) The majority of quasars are even brighter than a hundred billion suns! (seems I'm getting kinda expert in astronomy ahahah)
This is crap.... thats not accurate at ALL. The immense generation of force upon ignition of the quasar would be sufficient to cause an immediate shockwave that first would eject a large quantity of the dust/gas outward, compacting and igniting much of it. A draft would follow, THEN the massive burst of blinding light. The explosion would need to pan back nearly another 400 lightyears just to capture the full blast radius, and the brightness wouldnt dim for a loooooooong time. FAIL.

@ijociou
For me it looks like an accelerated animation, maybe something like a million years in a split second...
It´s not supposed to be accurate, at least I didn´t have any purpose to hand that expectation for who watches this video...
