When we're using the triangulation method with Earth's orbit in June and December to get the two points of reference, how do we account for the orbit of the distant object?
so if i take my arc second and do all the math and get a end result to get a shift differnce then should i just half my result to get the correct answer instead of doing it all without the half.
Hi Dr. Tyson, I appreciate you for giving knowledge to humanity. I have a question, please tell us more information about boots void. It would be great, the universe is full of wonders, thanks in advance for your answer. God bless you. Greetings from Uzbekistan
Could it be that what we percieve as an accelerated expansion of the Universe is actually something else like slowing down speed of light? What if speed of light is "constant" only because we can measure it on a relatively small distances but in scales of the Universe it is not constant. It's like Newtonian physics is ok on a small scales but on a bigger scale we must consider Einsteins's relativity.
it was this way since forever. Looks like someone woke up in parallel universe. Well, just to let you know that things are not going well in this timeline.
I like the way Neil goes in how he does this and to make it simplify to people that are excited about science, but we don’t know all the terminology, but he makes us excited to know more. I appreciate the show and I would hope him and everyone else would be positive and give honest answers, and Help the common people understand how science work through space and technology
In 1980, I had a Math Professor who smoked a pipe in his office AND during class. The math hallway always smelled funky. He was a fantastic teacher and very well liked.
I remember Neil being given the Wormhole by a kid at a talk he gave in my hometown of Adelaide South Australia it was awesome seeing how exited the kid was on stage.
An understanding of how 3D distances are figured out is pretty cool. Thanks, guys. I remember seeing an illustration of the stars in the Big Dipper if viewed from the side and the stars were very widely scattered, far from the 2D look we see from Earth. Cheers....
When Hubble looked at the variable star in Andromeda and figured out how far away it was and that existed in a galaxy outside of the Milky Way I wonder if it gave him goose bumps like it does me. A discovery today that might be comparable would be hard evidence of a universe outside of our own, which, of course, there is a lot of speculation about. Back in Hubbles era, I don't know that there was much speculation about our universe being so large to have many galaxies well outside our own.
I like Dr. Tyson's gold Omega Speedmaster. The Speedmaster is my favorite wristwatch. I still have mine from 1969 that was given to me as a BD gift ten days after Buzz Aldrin wore his as the first wristwatch on the moon. Mine isn't gold but it was built shortly before Buzz wore his on the moon on July 20, 1969. So, it's a pre-lunar landing Omega. It still works well after all these years and looks almost new after using Polywatch to remove any small scratches. Beautiful watch Neil.
It’s really cool to know, when you look at the Andromeda galaxy, you are seeing the farthest and, I suppose the oldest, object visible to the unaided eye.
Great episode, fascinating journey across the earth orbit, the solar system, the stars, the galaxies, how the secrets of the universe are slowly and surely inferred and unfurled! Feels like NDT taking us along on a journey of understanding!
I really like and respect Neil, but I love Chuck! Chuck brings a certain perspective that makes it easier to learn and digest what’s being discussed. 🙏❤️
As well, do we account for our whole solar system light pressure manifold blinking of light?(the light kinetic density point of operable fusing interstellar - this is to our observational baseline measurement of light interpretation and interference of the instrument used- and the fusing of this density into the proximal (more intra-stellar in proximity interacting) light environment and the interstellar space (less proximal) light environment, to interpret other blinking light densities ???? ❤
Neil & Chuck, thank you so much for this informative and entertaining episode. 🚀👨🏼🚀 The only thing I found a bit strange was the sudden appearance of the mustang advertisement. I would say "and now thanks to our sponsor" or sth. and label it somehow more clearly as an ad block, which it obviously is. Don't get me wrong, happy you got the sponsoring. You two deserve those extra bugs 😊💰
In the words of Mr Spock "Fascinating!" You misseed out Stargate for the wormhole travel! Great episode, look forward to the next and the future discoveries to come.
Yet another terrific episode of Q&A with Neil & Chuck! I am of the opinion that we should call Dark Matter "G Matter" with the G referring to Ghost! 👍👍😉😉
I just discovered this podcast a few hours ago. Fan-girling here lol. Would you be willing to elaborate? This is perhaps very close to some of my own ideas, depending on what you mean by ghost. I didn't get very far in high school science and my college science opportunites were limited to one semester each of geology and astronomy (as online student 20 years ago back in the 28k days ), so please forgive if I'm missing an obvious reference; that said, "ghost" could mean all kinds of things and I'm very interestd on what it means to you if you're being serious.😉
I once read Fritz Zwicky's 1936 paper where he develops the idea of Dark Matter. In this paper, it is assumed that the Hubble constant is 500 km/Mpc, not the 70 km/Mpc we use today. (And of couse, Fritz Zwicky was not talking about exotic, non baryonic matter as we do today. He just said that this matter apparently is dark, e.g. not found so far by the astronomers which were looking for light sources.)
Hellz yea!!! Love you, Neil! Love you, Chuck. You guys are freakin awesome! Bro, I wish you guys would do a podcast where you guys interview different folks from everything from physics to biology to anthropology. Anything and everything science. You guys would be the perfect hosts.
@@furuknapI believe rather than doing grab bags and what not, he could do long sessions 2hr or more on a certain topic, like for instance joe Rogan style
@@Espada_S346 There are long form interview videos, but I'm pretty sure Neil just doesn't have the time to do more involved videos. Since 1996, he has been the director of the Hayden Planetarium.

@@furuknap Interesting, Neil deGrasse Tyson agrees with God, but doesn't believe in God ! "Galaxies moving away from each other" "God stretching out the heavens"
Star Trek DOES have wormholes, but they seem to be rare and unstable. Deep Space Nine was positioned near a wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant (home of The Dominion) that is stabilized by a Bajoran relay station.
I'm constantly amazed by your content, sparking my curiosity to dive deeper into the enigmas of the cosmos. Thank you for fostering my sense of wonder.
Hey Neil, I still need help with changing the stars. My idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). I figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. The 3 stars of Orion's belt make up the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. Saiph is the back foot and Rigel is the front foot. The feet aligning perfectly under the bent knees. The spear pointing at "Subaru" is the bat being swung and "Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. Bellatrix is the hand that let go of the bat. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter and I imagine a "7" on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be ;-) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P
Get my geek on... :) Star Wars corrected (clarified) that Han Solo was referring to distance, and not time when Han said, "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs." In the movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Han took a shortcut in the run and decreases his distance. This was all probably done though to rectify the mistake in the first place. Love the show! Teach science from Kindergarten to Grade 12! Make it mandatory!
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the 3D systems you encounter in movie theaters now, the system Kodak pioneered for Captain EO in Disneyland, are based on our Stereoscopic vision. When they shoot in 3D, they have two cameras that they set up apart and angle in to mimic the way our eyes are set in our skulls. It's why this 3D appears to create depth, with the picture falling back beyond the screen, rather than popping out from the screen like the old red and blue systems. The glasses you wear are designed to cause your eyes to adjust to create the illusion.
I enjoyed this episode as always. Taking very complex topics and making it quite a bit simpler and easier to understand. I do have one question though. When we're using the triangulation method with Earth's orbit in June and December to get the two points of reference, how do we account for the orbit of the distant object?
From a distant galaxy? We wouldn't even be visible as a speck of light, unless they had telescopes much more powerful than ours. The individual stars we can detect in other, distant galaxies are much larger or more luminous than our own.
There are quite a few people who would have liked to call the James Webb Telescope the Henrietta Swan Leavitt Telescope. I think that would also be more appropriate.
Dear Dr Tyson and Dr Nice! Given that If, events of early universe was what formed the elementary particles/waves that in turn formed us and our local galaxy, then; How is it that the light of early formed galaxies (i.e moments after the big bang) it's light only reaching us now, but it's effects (the elementary particles) have long cooled and formed into our local galaxy? Could it be that the "effects" of those recently observed most distant galaxies/events, will only reach us in the future, rather than in our past?
As a person who has been blind in one eye for decades I can tell you it isnt impossible to train your self to be able to touch fingers with only one eye.
Gotta love Shannon and 100% agree w him, fight whoever whenever when it's time or needed but also not trying to fight no one when it's not the right thing!
I finally saw Andromeda witha cheap monocular that also came with a phone attachment. I tried to navigate my nephew with it the same way, you just have to be very steady with your hand, know where to look, and be in in the country like me and let your eyes adjust for like an hour. After I saw it with the little monocular, I could see it without it. It's just an incredible feeling as a human to look out and up, and see an entire different galaxy full of mysteries all the way from here on little earth. I highly recommend trying to see it, and it's a perfect time of year right now too, it was just after dark and it gets dark early.
What George Lucas said about Han Solo making the Kessel Run in 12 Par Secs was that in the future, everybody is travelling at light speed. So it was the Guidance System on the Mellinium Falcon that made it the fastest ship in the galaxy. With speed being a constant, it's the route and the distance traveled that determines the overall speed of the journey. It's science! PS Great show
Hey Star Talk, Hey Nei! How are you guys doing? :D I wonder if one day you guys could do a reaction video, on space engine! Its a free software that you can use to go around the Universe and experience things like visiting other galaxies, visit the our solar system, look at black holes and neutron stars, travel around using spaceships with warp drives etc! Its all really intuitive and I think that Niel can give us a good video where is explains a lot of things that we see in there with detail! Just a cool thing that I thought! :)
I read a non-scifi book by Isaac Asimov that explained how we determined the distance to Andromeda by determining the standard brightness of cephid variables in our own galaxy and comparing that to the brightness of cephid variables in other galaxies. Bingo, instant yardstick.
My guess is that dark matter is: Spontaneous matter forming at the quantum level at the same time. Randomly forming in a relatively small area (small for a spatial scale), generating a very strong gravitational force, but for a very short period.
Dark matter is the biggest cash cow for academia in history. I say we are observing the gravitational effect of the masses of other dimensions on our dimension.
@8:11 -ish what happens if the star moves during the 6-month period you're waiting to measure its distance. How can you get an accurate distance for a star if the star is moving in between snapshots of measurements?
I got a question. You have a black hole with an event horizon. Nothing escapes that event horizon. 2 black holes may merge (presumably they'd spiral in together..,) When the event horizons of 2 black holes have over lapped, what happens in that region of space. Do the 2 gravity wells pulling to each mass center cancel each other out to leave a region of no gravity. Could any matter even enter this region, may mass hover within the 'middle' of this region until the 2 masses have merged to one?
The idea is that Han solo flew his ship in and out of a cluster of black holes which he used to actually dilate the distance of the Kessel run...the whole thing being based on how crazy of a course are you willing to plot in order to pull "it" off...some ships would take 13 parsecs to make the run, others maybe as many as 15. But it IS used as a unit of distance and explained further in the novels
And let's not insult THAT group...WE are some of your biggest fans. I KNOW star wars isn't REAL, obviously...but if you read the novel and saw how it played out, you would see they did a good job of making that plausible. At least, as plausible as any other pseudoscience in those movies. That is the FIRST time I ever saw you say something that made me look at you a little differently. A tad elitist. though you are a brilliant man. But just think of how MANY star wars nerds make up your fan base. Especially in the non degree holding community. We look to guys like you for the answers to the most amazing questions man has ever contemplated about our place in this universe. Please don't insult us so casually if you want to keep em? Maybe?
Read the Han solo trilogy, it's a good read and that event is explained in the series...you love your people, right? You always say that referring to other astro physicists, but YOUR TRUE people are the millions of self proclaimed nerds out here that practically worship you. Read your book? Ok, read the solo trilogy and comment? Thank you
My question is...Are there any gases in the universe that could create optical illusions other than the one you mentioned with our parallax, such as mirror images, or even blur to some degree the objects in the universe? If so, how are such illusions dealt with?
Solo did the run because his ship bends spacetime, a warp drive. The observer saw him win fast, but his ships mileage barely went up. Think of him saying he won a mile long drag race in less than 1/4 mile. That is how I initially saw it. BUT we're in space here. This is a 3d racetrack and there aren't mile markers floating in a grid matrix throughout space. So how would an observer measure speed or / distance over time? So, I think it scrunches space more and all of the race ships make it in the same time. Like torque in a racecar
Bohr had a finger trick for estimating distances based on eye parallax, works so and so, work better if you know how large your thumbs and the space between your eyes are.
On the topic of dark gravity, I agree with Chuck. He declared in another episode that we should refer to nothing that may contain something as “sothing”. To be humorous here, let’s just say that if we remove every element, structure and type of matter we know in the universe, the stuff left behind is dark matter. Let’s be done with it, I ain’t got 90 years left in me to go crazy musing over this one 🤣🤣
Please explain to me why I can easily touch fingers every time with just one eye? Could I be divergent? It's actually slightly harder at arms length. Pretty cool , that slight difference made a difference.
What question would you ask Neil and Chuck about galaxies? 🌌
When we're using the triangulation method with Earth's orbit in June and December to get the two points of reference, how do we account for the orbit of the distant object?
so if i take my arc second and do all the math and get a end result to get a shift differnce then should i just half my result to get the correct answer instead of doing it all without the half.
Why do my sink sponges smell weird? What do I do to stop that?

What about Star Trek and, "V-ger," returning one day? I LOVE how it's NOT impossible. ;-P
Love you guys!
How can you not like does video, if they teach you so much and such amountt of time.
I’m able to touch my fingers perfectly regardless on one eye open and distance. Am I doing it wrong?
Engineering explained has a great video about the one foot rollout standard and 0.60 testing and automobile industry
Love the content thank you
Hey Star Talk, Hey Nei! How are you guys doing? :D
I wonder if one day you guys could do a reaction video, on space engine! Its a free software that you can use to go around the Universe and experience things like visiting other galaxies, visit the our solar system, look at black holes and neutron stars, travel around using spaceships with warp drives etc! Its all really intuitive and I think that Niel can give us a good video where is explains a lot of things that we see in there with detail!
Just a cool thing that I thought! :)
I read a non-scifi book by Isaac Asimov that explained how we determined the distance to Andromeda by determining the standard brightness of cephid variables in our own galaxy and comparing that to the brightness of cephid variables in other galaxies. Bingo, instant yardstick.
Neil and Chuck for 2024
Is Chuck simply the Best
Or does he asks the rest♥️
James Webb.. love the wrench in the astronomical works! ..
My guess is that dark matter is:
Spontaneous matter forming at the quantum level at the same time. Randomly forming in a relatively small area (small for a spatial scale), generating a very strong gravitational force, but for a very short period.
Dark matter is the biggest cash cow for academia in history. I say we are observing the gravitational effect of the masses of other dimensions on our dimension.
@@gwolf7716Bingo!
Neil, Chuck et al. :
Tks. much.
Thank You Dr Tyson and Chuck.
Sir, my question is - is science possible which is explain in the wandering earth movies?
Should've stuck with the easy answer. The long answer turned into an amazing, eye opening half hour.
@8:11 -ish what happens if the star moves during the 6-month period you're waiting to measure its distance. How can you get an accurate distance for a star if the star is moving in between snapshots of measurements?
5:34 I have a lazy eye, so I'm used to looking at things from one eye. That finger trick was child's play.
I would have loved to see the look on Hubble's face when he realized that Andromeda was an entire different galaxy
Happy holidays gentlemen 🎉🎊💃🏻🎂💐❤ Ty for making us smarter w every episode ❤ HugsfromNYC 🍎
Thanks for the show. Later.
You went a bit technical... and I liked it !!! 🧠
Highlights magazine behind DR Tyson, (right shoulder). I used to read those in the early 70s. "Puzzles of the Universe", ☺ fitting.
I got a question. You have a black hole with an event horizon. Nothing escapes that event horizon. 2 black holes may merge (presumably they'd spiral in together..,) When the event horizons of 2 black holes have over lapped, what happens in that region of space. Do the 2 gravity wells pulling to each mass center cancel each other out to leave a region of no gravity. Could any matter even enter this region, may mass hover within the 'middle' of this region until the 2 masses have merged to one?
8:02 wouldn't the background stats position also change? Wouldn't that mess up your angular calculations?
I love the moon parallax reference!!!
The idea is that Han solo flew his ship in and out of a cluster of black holes which he used to actually dilate the distance of the Kessel run...the whole thing being based on how crazy of a course are you willing to plot in order to pull "it" off...some ships would take 13 parsecs to make the run, others maybe as many as 15. But it IS used as a unit of distance and explained further in the novels
And let's not insult THAT group...WE are some of your biggest fans. I KNOW star wars isn't REAL, obviously...but if you read the novel and saw how it played out, you would see they did a good job of making that plausible. At least, as plausible as any other pseudoscience in those movies. That is the FIRST time I ever saw you say something that made me look at you a little differently. A tad elitist. though you are a brilliant man. But just think of how MANY star wars nerds make up your fan base. Especially in the non degree holding community. We look to guys like you for the answers to the most amazing questions man has ever contemplated about our place in this universe. Please don't insult us so casually if you want to keep em? Maybe?
Read the Han solo trilogy, it's a good read and that event is explained in the series...you love your people, right? You always say that referring to other astro physicists, but YOUR TRUE people are the millions of self proclaimed nerds out here that practically worship you. Read your book? Ok, read the solo trilogy and comment? Thank you
My question is...Are there any gases in the universe that could create optical illusions other than the one you mentioned with our parallax, such as mirror images, or even blur to some degree the objects in the universe? If so, how are such illusions dealt with?
Stars are far out man. Thats slme stellar parallax
Solo did the run because his ship bends spacetime, a warp drive. The observer saw him win fast, but his ships mileage barely went up.
Think of him saying he won a mile long drag race in less than 1/4 mile. That is how I initially saw it. BUT we're in space here. This is a 3d racetrack and there aren't mile markers floating in a grid matrix throughout space.
So how would an observer measure speed or / distance over time?
So, I think it scrunches space more and all of the race ships make it in the same time.
Like torque in a racecar
Bohr had a finger trick for estimating distances based on eye parallax, works so and so, work better if you know how large your thumbs and the space between your eyes are.
Anyone else touched their fingers with one eye with no problem? Lol
On the topic of dark gravity, I agree with Chuck.
He declared in another episode that we should refer to nothing that may contain something as “sothing”.
To be humorous here, let’s just say that if we remove every element, structure and type of matter we know in the universe, the stuff left behind is dark matter.
Let’s be done with it, I ain’t got 90 years left in me to go crazy musing over this one 🤣🤣
Please explain to me why I can easily touch fingers every time with just one eye? Could I be divergent?
It's actually slightly harder at arms length.
Pretty cool , that slight difference made a difference.
You are an android
Be someone you'd want around you ♥️
