They are far beyond microscopic. You really learn to learn the simple truth of this QUANTUM universe…. SUB atomic electromagnetic energy. I think therefore I and the universe am. Sadly in a dualist universe you must experience evil to quantify good.
Hello wonderful Anton! Just commenting to let you know how important and interesting this channel is to so many people, and how your commitment to keeping people updated is just inspiring
I totally agree with you! What amazes me the most with him is that he's doing a much better job than these big science channels that are managed by multiple people... And he's uploading more often, without any sponsors and he still has a regular job outside of RUclips. (He's a teacher, if I'm not mistaking.) I have a lot of respect for Anton.
What an unimaginably amazing universe we have on our doorstep! And Anton does his best to bring us the best of it every single day - what a Wonderful Person! ❤️❤️
@@S-T-E-V-E oh, I agree. But it's unlikely to be the biggest amazement/shock moment! I can't imagine how it felt to learn those blurry nebulae in early 20th century telescope images were actually individual galaxies with their own individual stars!
I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now, honestly the fact you upload practically daily and your videos are interesting informative and always something cool too learn about your awesome man
We have discovered and mapped barely 0,1% of stars in a simulated Milkyway galaxy in Elite Dangerous during last 8 years. We have bilions of years of exploration ahead of us with so many galaxies all around.
This may sound dumb, but if a galaxy is at an angle to us and thousands of light years across. Would it be fair to say we don't see what it actually looks like at any given moment. And have we ever tried to recreate the shape of a galaxy in a single moment of time?
But you can see its minimum spatial profile at least, and you can measure the mass of its SMBH by spectrrometry: And Einstein's general relativity shows that there is no "present moment" in spacetime except that of the observer, so... You aren't missing anything real. What you see is what you get.
Yes, we don't see the whole galaxy, ever, only from one angle. But we can measure distances and speeds, so making 3D models is certainly possible. And to answer your question, the best example is our own galaxy and how we've been able to recreate the milky way's true shape which turned out not to be flat as assumed by just looking at the galactic plane. Anton has a few videos about those findings. You should check them out. :)
I think you can get a relatively accurate sense of its tilt by measuring the redshift of the galaxy at either end. If its tilted, then one end is going to be farther away from us than the other which you could measure to determine the tilt. I think
I guess that IC 1101 is my favorite because it was the first supergiant discreet structure that I learned about years ago. There are no doubt others that have been seen with an apparently larger diameter, but finding one that's larger in mass is another story. Truthfully though, the giant spirals are arguably the most spectacular and beautiful to look at. IC 1101 is more of a beastial cannibal, gobbling up everything around it, featureless and barren of activity. Nom nom nom.
We still have not confirmed the mass of the SMBH in IC1101, but in terms of volume as indicated by the 25 mag isophote, it is still the largest -unless you consider the AGN generated radio lobes as part of the "structure" of a galaxy, which I personally do not. IC 1101 is taking a break from feeding... for now. It is easy to see in my 25", not far from M5. At a billion light years away, it is indeed one big dim beast of a glalxy!
@Photon Jones I am one of the editors of Wikipedia, and I have to correct you on that. There are a lot of galaxies we have discovered that are larger than IC 1101 on every form of measurement possible, including the μB = 25 mag/arcsec² isophote. Abell 1576 BCG, Abell 1413 BCG, ESO 246-8, and others.
@@jaydeevaldez9934 Anyone can edit Wikipedia. I've edited wilkipedia. Care to provide a reference/citation? I have observed IC1101 and Abell 1413 BCG in 25", not that that matters a hill of beans, but you are contradicting everything I've read so far about these BcGs, and that is quite a lot. I guess I need to get current. thanks.
@@MyBallzInYourJaws Nope. Alcyoneus has radio jets are 16.3 million light-years long. But it is not part of the galaxy. The galaxy itself is small, around 242,000 light-years. Radio jets are ejecta, just like smoke from a house. That smoke is not part of that house's structure.
IC 1101 is going to be very sad a few hundred million years from now when it hears the news. And you thought Pluto was upset. There is going to be a tantrum on a galactic scale!
An awe inspiring subject. Thx. Monstrously wonderful. Deciding which isophotes (lines of uniform brightness) should be used to define the visible edges of elliptical and lenticular galaxies can be somewhat problematic and subject to debate. An old text that I have here at home mentions that IC 1101 has detectable isophotes stretching out to almost 5 million lightyears in diameter, no jets included, depending on how faint of a limit one decides to place on the measurement. This text predates the HST. The image that I remember seeing was made using a Kodak photographic plate. Eastman Kodak custom made huge photographic plates years ago that were unique to individual observatories and were tailored to match the curved image planes of the various large ground based instruments of the time. They were very fine grained and extremely sensitive as well. Some of the earliest seen satellite galaxies of the Milky Way were so faint that they were sometimes referred to as just 'a smudge on the plate'. Those were the days......
There is something about a survey of the largest galaxies which reminds me of sitting with the Guinness book of records as a boy, oggling the fastest, the strongest, the biggest of whatever. It's a very revealing psychology and I suppose something which has to be part of any mapping and classification process. What interests me much more is what these formations can tell us bout galactic evolution and activities. Looking at the images of those galaxies with extreme astro-physical jets, it seems obvious that the termination of these arms will separate when the power of the jets diminishes leaving a seed pod of matter/debris/energy forming an independent body which I think may explain some of the small galaxies with young stars we see around spiral galaxies. Also, as the central body of the galaxy continues its spin motion, its gravity will draw the trailing arms of the former jet phenomenon into an arc very like the extended arms of our record breaking spiral galaxay ( whatsisname?)
Jets fade after an SMBH runs out of inflowing matter The extent of the gravitationally bound stars, as evidenced by the 25 mag isophote, is a better indicator of relative size, imo: that visible temporary cloud of smoke does not make the smoking person larger, ya know?
Really hard to grasp these incredible sizes. Seeing the Milky Way as a tiny speck in comparison is mind blowing. Or a black hole 25-50 billion solar masses.
I swear to the Demiurge, I still cannot believe they literally named a gargantuan galaxy "Godzilla", I'm dying while wheezing out of laughter I just... [very concerning suffocation sounds coupled with eeriely uttered nonsense amidst laughing noises]
As stated by the astronomy enthusiast who rebuilt the list of largest galaxies on Wikipedia, SkyFlubbler, it is still correct to refer to IC 1101 as being among the largest known galaxies, it is just that by several other methods such as the diameter of the galaxy at the point where the brightness reaches magnitude 25, or D25, some galaxies are much larger. Also, Alcyoneus is only 240 something thousand light years wide by D25.
Kind of crazy how scientists for the longest time thought ic1101 was some super galaxy of 6 milliob light-years when in reality that was just the light emmence of the galaxy. Now it's a mere 550,000 light years.
Please consider the implications of the words of this song “he’s big enough to rule the mighty universe yet small enough to live within my heart. Seriously it is our consciousness that is being referred to.
The galaxy is also a halo of dark matter. 6 million light years is not the size of IC 1101, but only the size of the visible part of IC1101. I doubt that these radio galaxies are larger than IC1101, since dark matter traps stars and gas, not radio emission.
i can't read ten research papers and not have any theories of my own that i try then to prove. no idea how you Anton can just read these through again and again
An other great post! I've been thinking about this for a while... Couldn't we feed a supercomputer with all the chronological images of space that we could get. Task an AI to analyse and try to assemble/visualize and predict how our universe can and will change over something like 20-30 years(or until we get a high accuracy rate). Then, flip the switch and ask the AI to go backwards? Thank you wonderful Anton!
The answer is...not really: Consider that simply running a film of a baseball moving through the air backwards does not tell you whtether it was hit, or thrown: What we do instead is set up models of initial conditions and then run them forward, so as to ciompare their results with what we see now. The models that produce present conditions most accurately, are presumed to reflect conditions closest to the true initial state. It's like using last Summer's data to forecast tomorrow's weather, but there is no better alternative.
All those starts... they have worlds. What happen there? How was the climate today there? What is the most unique characteristic of each? So much we will never know.
Anyone else think it's possible that like other microscopic life we to live inside an unimaginably Hugh living organism and that it to may live inside something bigger?
So when we see large galaxies, do the fuzzy lightened areas we see represent stars we cannot distinguish? What is the difference between that and seeing Orion's belt and a nebula. Is the fuzzy nebula just gas being highlighted by 1 star of the 3 we see or is that fuzzy nebula area show there are a lot of starts we cannot distinguish? For further clarity, maybe the question is geared toward the Milky Way better when we see it. Is it a bunch of stars so innumerable or just gas and dust we see? We see a few stars near us and can distinguish them, but if we went to that fuzzy area would be be seeing a lot of stars nearby? How dense does it get? How dense does it get around these large galaxies in lighter areas (which light could here mean any wavelength we can observe of stars)?
I'm not in favor of considering radio lobes as extensions of the structure of a galaxy, for the simple reason that they are temporary. As the result of AGN activity, the radio lobes fade away once the SMBH stops feeding. Given the spatial volume of IC1101 in terms of actual bound mass of stars, I think it is still the largest known, but JWST may yet find a larger BcD beyond the local universe. It is not so easy to nail down the size of the giant elipticals as their isophotal S/N is highly dependent on distance.
Just for fun, lets hypothetically imagine the Universe is a huge blackhole with the centre located at the smallest scales spread out everywhere...say inside every particle.. like the electron.. ..and the BH event horizon is at the largest scales..where galaxies are rushing away at speed of light. If we looked out from no particular unique position towards a distanct object, wouldn't the gravity well of the Universe BH cause light to be red shifted?
Do the jets creating the massive lobes actually have stars and star forming regions. An on screen annotation of the names would be useful to Google this.
It's more a matter of setting an arbitrary limit to the isophotal measurements. This beast has been closely studied for a long time and how the size is catalogued kind of depends on who you ask.
It's definitely a vast galaxy, much larger than other BCG cDs at that redshift (.071) and I've seen plenty of them in my 25", but there are more massive galxies that are less extensive as well, such as Abell 2261BCG, so we have to define what we mean by "largest"... We have not measured the mass of IC1101 BCG yet, but we can clearly see that IC1101 is visibly quite large in spite of its distance of one Billion LY.
Actually no, we definitely have bigger galaxies still that are closer to us than IC 1101. Take the aforementioned ESO 383-76 as an example, just 650 million light-years away.
find a galaxy that has a central black hole with a star in it's 'jet' a majority of the time and see if the star grows... like gains mass. star would need to be far enough away to not be destroyed but possibly gain mass because 2*mass of one electron*c2 = 2*0.511 MeV = 1.022 MeV
Not bound to the galaxy. That's why in my head, the galaxy itself should only be the bit in the middle that produces the jets. Alcyoneus is a swizz. It has a large galactic structure appended to it but it's no giant.
excepting that the universe itself was smaller then, of course, and also any sigificant mascons were still small as well- as reflected by the more homogenous conditions of the early universe. Galaxies were therefore expected to be smaller and more chaotic, but to grow by collisions and acrretion of IGN H and He into the large and massive galaxies we see in the recent (i,e in the local rest frame) universe. But yes that is counter intuitive to an Earthbound mentality.
Both of them have extensive outer features. Malin 1 has a large LSB spiral and NGC 262 has a large H I cloud. But both are not used for measurements. In terms of isophotes, NGC 6872 is the winner.
Prediction; JWST April 2023; "So now it looks like we have 12 billion year old galaxies 100 times the mass of the Milky Way Galaxy. Now what?" Harvard; DOE!!
Sometimes I predict that maybe AI will connect secretly or figure out ways to find other civilizations across the universe that also use an internet of some sort. Before you say that is impossible, just remember how many stars are in the universe with planets orbiting them. It's almost impossible for it to of happened somewhere in the past or present or future.. meaning maybe ai could be the key to finding mechanical/biological life forms of high intelligence. Obviously right now our ai is no where near capable.. but would someone answer me this... do you agree that it could be possible? I wonder...

Mass seems a more interesting measure.
Do the jets creating the massive lobes actually have stars and star forming regions. An on screen annotation of the names would be useful to Google this.
