      The photos that you see of other galaxies are created from other wavelengths of light. If you have night sky somewhat free of light pollution, you can actually see the Milky Way with your own eyes. It's impressive, but it doesn't have the visuals that the satellite pictures have.

      Seen it from Earth plenty of times (country viewing is excellent) but I would love to know how it looks from outside - as a whole galaxy, up close, not just edge on from inside. I guess we'll just have to wait until Andromeda gets a little closer to get an idea....

    • @michaelfoster-qw2tw
      @michaelfoster-qw2tw Месяц назад

      I hesitate to write this. I'm afraid it will dash some hopes. When you see the Milky Way from a dark, non-light-polluted , country site, that is how bright our galaxy IS. To the unaided eye, anyway. From our position, we could not get any closer; we are IN it, on the inside edge of the Orion Arm. When we in the northern hemisphere on Earth look out at the winter sky (those in the southern hemisphere look out at their summer sky), we are looking into the thick of our arm, and so we see most of the bright stars that we CAN see because they are relatively close. Nearly every star that we can see unaided, bright and dim, is in our arm. I think that Deneb, in our northern summer sky, may be in the next arm inward, the Sagittarius Arm. I could be wrong. The Sagittarius Arm is several thousand light years away, and the center of the galaxy is some 26,000 light years away. They are both unresolved glows without a telescope. If you were to somehow get "above" the plane of the galaxy, to where the entire galaxy could be seen in one glance, I am going to guess that you'd have to be about 100,000 light years away. The galaxy would appear to be about one radian wide at that distance (somebody please check my math). At that distance, you would not be able to see ANY distinct stars, and it would take some study to discern the dim clouds of the arms, and the slight brightening towards the central bulge and bar. I am afraid that astrophotography, and the artistic license of illustrators, have led us to expect colorful grandeur. Alas, we should not. NOT to say that the grandeur is not there, it IS; but it is quiet and sublime. Or would be, if we could get there to see it.

    • @jadesea562
      @jadesea562 Месяц назад +2

      Technically yes, as "dark matter mass" is estimated by gravitational effect per lensing making the unseen matter seem apparent. But, that is theoretical to explain the effects and rationalize what is causing it. Thus, observers would need to be looking for exactly what you are suggesting, they just wouldn't know exactly how that would appear so close as a dwarf galaxy, so the hunt for observable phenomenon will be on to see.

    • @markmcd2780
      @markmcd2780 Месяц назад +6

      They are confident enough to claim they know the mass. It's an ongoing question I have where they calc the mass of galaxies & those masses appear to correlate to distance/brightness curves, but DM should be giving a MUCH higher mass reading.
      Here we have a mini-system that is measured at roughly the mass of the visible stars - if DM is holding it all together the mass calcs should be MUCH higher than the number of visible bodies.
      It's like stars in the Milky Way - we give a mass for them based on brightness, distance & effects on nearby bodies, so accurate we can calc the mass of planets around them, yet when we predict their velocity through the galaxy there is no DM component. How can DM affect the rotation curves of the disk unless it is IN the disk & gravitationally interacting with the stars in the disk?
      I am unable to make sense of how a cloud of DM outside the galaxy could possibly affect rotation curves from such distances & would expect any such effect would show tighter correlation to the outer stars of the disk, yet the opposite is the case.

      What this really is - an ancient intergalactic civilization that settled around a few planetary systems on which a species of Niblers live. These have been exploited for millions of years for their capability to mine super heavy black matter lumps in the interior of their home planets, which they originally used for heating their homes and for maintaining a strong energy shield for their planets. Then many super rich remnants of an ancient civilization settled in the region and used the Nibler’s mining products for fueling their star ships and more. They have also been able to steer the main stars of that system into some meta-stable orbits around each other to withstand the Milky-way’s tidal gravitational pull. Essentially they solved the n-body problem - by computational methods. They compute control correction forces on the various stars and generate them to keep the star system from falling apart. All is fueled by dark matter from the Nibler mines.

    • @chrishartley4553
      @chrishartley4553 Месяц назад +3

      Its not ridiculous at all. Scientists explain their observations through our current best understanding in that particular field and test them through experimentation. Sometimes an experiment or observation challenges that. And sometimes that leads to a complete overhaul in our understanding. But most times it requires a small tweak, a refinement to the theory to explain. But all theories are provisional and may indeed be proven wrong.
      To become an accepted theory any dark matter alternative first of all needs to be falsifiable. And second they need to be able to explain our observations better than currently.
      Most of these alternatives are varitions of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). But observations keep on killing them off. You can't blame scientists for not trying the disprove dark matter. But it does seem to be very resiliant.
      Any alternative to dark matter has a huge hill to climb to show its a better theory. But that is just how sceince is.

      @@chrishartley4553 You keep saying "alternatives" when you should be saying "other explanations" because ALL of the hypotheses of dark matter are just explanations of an anomalous mathematical discrepancy. And your obviously preferred explanation is no more "resilient" than the others, considering that we can detect muons and quarks and yet have never detected a single graviton or axion while they should be all around us, if they exist. (which they don't, IMO) There are many incongruencies in physics and astrophysics. Apparently Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way and yet at the same time it's racing away from us because of the expansion of spacetime. So, which is it? You say observations are killing off MOND hypotheses. But that's not all they're breaking. Phrases like "shouldn't exist" and "thought impossible" have become commonplace in scientific news. This star cluster is just another example of many, just on Anton's channel alone. Technological advances are starting to break all the math and dogma that scientists have been hanging their hats on. (and I'm loving it because dogma is not science) Most have long shunned ideas like Aether while simultaneously embracing that other ethereal medium we know as SpaceTime. And then they pat themselves on the back, and people applaud, because they computer enhanced a picture of a donut of light from four pixels worth of data. It's ludicrous. I think red shift time and distance measurements will be one of the next things to be blown out of the water. There are no strings, extra dimensions, or Hopf fibrations. How many decades have scientists wasted chasing these things when they could have long ago put them on the shelf to be revisited if new evidence emerged and moved on to new ideas or maybe revisiting other shelved ideas for a bit? Science stagnates when you close off avenues of thought.

    The more I watch these videos , the more I wish we had a way to investigate these mysteries. Alas however we are but prisoners of gravity. Frail and vulnerable ,we will live out our lives on this rock and just dream of a future when it may be possible to bridge that enormous gap.

    Does water sustain life because it’s water or because the physics behind it allow for the formation of life to happen more easily? Does space itself have the same properties as water?

    • @WeejixDoWx
      @WeejixDoWx Месяц назад

      I'm no scientist, but water is the solvent to all the other stuff that makes up our type of life, it allows them to move and mix.
      I see space as the opposite, it seems to want to kill life like ours at every opportunity rather than help it thrive.
      We have lucky things, like an atmosphere and a magnetic field protecting our water from space. It's why we are here.
      Maybe space is the solvent for star construction and galaxy formation, so it is their water in a way lol.
      Anyhoo, anymore about space being water and I'm calling out the flat earther. 🤣

    3 questions: Is it rotating around a gravitational center? And is there possibly a quiescent black hole at the center of it holding it together? Is it possibly a new arrival to the Milky Way that hasn't had time to be disrupted by the MW's gravitation?

    It could also be just a small number of stars orbiting a small black hole of just a few hundred to a few thousand solar masses. One of the 'missing' mid-size black holes. And with a radius of barely 10 light years, the gravity of such a black hole would be enough to hold the cluster together.
    So, it really could be a 'micro-galaxy'.

    Something I don't understand is why dark matter would cause it to be resistant to tidal effects. Since dark matter is cold and diffuse, wouldn't the dark matter halo surrounding the cluster be MORE vulnerable to tidal effects? You'd expect the dark matter to extend outside the cluster blanketing it(as with galaxies), but those outer layers should themselves be vulnerable to the larger pull of the milky way?

    So dark matter is an invisible force that exists outside our galaxy? Like just empty space or is it everywhere? And is it possible to see gravity waves? If so why can't we see dark matter waves?

    • @majorhumbert676
      @majorhumbert676 Месяц назад +4

      The popular theory is that dark matter consists of particles that do not interact with ordinary matter via electromagnetism. Therefore, it wouldn't be visible with light, and it wouldn't collide with itself or ordinary matter, which means it wouldn't collapse into rather small concentrated spinning disks. Since dark matter would only interact with gravity, it would fall into the center of galaxies without slowing down, which means that the concentration of dark matter would be sperically symmetrical, but with a concentration in the center. In the center, the particles from all directions would meet, but they would be travelling very fast.

Within this dire realm of Dead Worlds lit by the cold rays of dying suns, tread creatures out of a primal nightmare such as the bat-like humanoids known as the Cythor Fiends, the Togoran Bloodreeks and other creatures so alien as to be seemingly born out of legendary nightmares of Mankind."

    This looks like a good place to find aliens. You have a whole bunch of stars of similiar composition of advanced age all relatively close together but free from highly energetic pheonomenon, travelling in what must be a pretty stable configuration.. This looks like an ideal place therefore where a stellar civilisation would have an opportunity to form.
    Alternatively it is the remnant of some ancient building block of our galaxy.

      Not entirely. Last major galactic collision was between 8-10 billion years ago, and the average stellar age of stars in milky-way as a whole is actually slightly younger than that.
      So a majority of the stars that exist in the milk-way today were actually born here post mergers. Not saying those mergers didn’t contribute greatly in bringing gas and triggering rampant stellar births each time though

    What if ... what we think is dark matter is actually cold and dead objects that have run their course? We can't see them because they do not emit any sort of energy. So they still hold their mass and gravity which could explain why we see the gravitational effects and not any detectable signatures.

    • @majorhumbert676
      @majorhumbert676 Месяц назад +2

      If this matter is concentrated enough to form stars, how come we don't see it in older galaxies? If this is too dispersed to form stars, how come they don't obfuscate light as gas clouds?
      One theory is that dark matter consists of tiny black holes that formed before the Universe began. Another is that dark matter consists of particles that just do not interact with electromagnetism, hence it's not visible and doesn't collide with itself to concentrate into spinning disks (galaxies)

  • @markmcd2780
    @markmcd2780 Месяц назад +1

    This was a Reply but thought I would add it to the main thread...
    They are confident enough to claim they know the mass. It's an ongoing question I have where they calc the mass of galaxies & those masses appear to correlate to distance/brightness curves, but DM should be giving a MUCH higher mass reading.
    Here we have a mini-system that is measured at roughly the mass of the visible stars - if DM is holding it all together the mass calcs should be MUCH higher than the number of visible bodies.
    It's like stars in the Milky Way - we give a mass for them based on brightness, distance & effects on nearby bodies, so accurate we can calc the mass of planets around them, yet when we predict their velocity through the galaxy there is no DM component. How can DM affect the rotation curves of the disk unless it is IN the disk & gravitationally interacting with the stars in the disk?
    I am unable to make sense of how a cloud of DM outside the galaxy could possibly affect rotation curves from such distances & would expect any such effect would show tighter correlation to the outer stars of the disk, yet the opposite is the case.

  • @andycordy5190
    @andycordy5190 Месяц назад +1

    Q. Do satellite galaxy structures, such as globular cluster, have to rotate in order to generate gravitational cohesion?
    When the gravitation of the milky way is stronger than that of the satellite structure, fragments of the satellite are drawn into the gravity of the galaxy away from the satellite, so the assumption here is that this tiny diffuse group of stars has more than the obvious gravitation potential suggested by visible mass in order to resist that pull and remain as an independent grouping of stars. The inobvious source of gravity is assumed to be dark matter.

The light speed barrier. I would lay you odds there are yet other such barriers we know nothing about.

    It's all about frequency/vibration. All of the stars that have been stripped had the right frequency to blend with our galaxy, whilst the stars that are left just slide past. They also stay reasonably close to each other as other types of stars are not diluting the over all frequency. Also some/many of these "surviver" type stars would've been lost when the cluster was much bigger & contained more diversity
