Star Size Comparison 1 (HD)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- There are several videos circulating showing a comparison of the largest stars. I like these kind of things, and I wanted to try one myself. Probably because I also watched "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan as a kid. Actually my first RUclips upload. Hope you like it...

Enjoy
Hi weres uranus
Thanks!

This is the first size comparison ive ever watched, i loved it
@Flying False Colors Churches don´t usually produce things. Science brought you the computer / cellphone you are typing on. Which is especially weird as people are mocking science now on these devices.
Woah. I remember watching this exact video in middle school and having my first existential crisis.
Haha same. The music freaked me out more than anything.
SAME
Lol
Same
also same... this vid changed my childhood, and incouraged my persuit of astronomy and science
The music just makes this video even more creepy. The fact the there are so many larger stars out there is kinda terrifying
Yeah, thats not even the biggest. Those are the biggest we discovered. There are probably stars up to 5x bigger
No it's not creepy have you seen the size of the universe it's not even scary and our planet is by star and we can survive so it really isn't scary.
Stars? I thought we were talking about planets you should watch how many universes there are so many its so interesting
Right
@@peepeepoopooman-qs3jq 5x bigger? How you came to that exact number, lol.
Happy 10 Year Anniversary !!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🌌
Thank you for all the years. 😪🤗
谢谢你做的这些视频！
@@user-gt1zn3ez1b 谢谢大家！哈哈哈
Congratulations! This video was actually the first size comparison I saw, I had my mind blown back then. Thank you.
This Video is the thing to spark my interest in astronomy and physics thanks for this video that very well changed my life.
I watch a lot of Astronomy Videos but THIS CHANNEL has me hooked...took me 10 years to discover this...I hope you keep uploading for another 100...I stumbled on the SC 2 video, watched 3, binged on a couple more, then FINALLY found this at the bottom of your list...Thanks for these videos..."You are not the center of the Universe"...I need to show some people these vids so they understand
The initial music is the main theme from the old Disney film, The Black Hole (1979). The ending music is from the ending of the iconic film Blade Runner (1982). Classic! Salute to the legendary composers, John Barry and Vangelis, respectively!
I always thought that Black Hole music was from the movie Aliens, so every time I think of Xenomorph eggs it reminds me of this scary track
Thanks I have been looking for the music for my whole life.
@@danielanderson6933 Actually, the first five seconds of music are from Alien, so you’re not wrong!
I watched this video as a kid, like 10 years ago, and have been looking for the song ever since. I scoured the internet to find it.
I thought that was familiar.
For some reason I find this video to be pretty terrifying...
That is often both fear of the infinite and feeling vulnerable. Some people experience fear of the infinite when they begin to think too hard on how gigantic the universe is. It is likely caused because our entire lives depend on distance and our brains are wired that way. "How far am I from my shelter? How far from my water supply?" Thinking that there are places where not even traveling at the speed of light could save you can be disturbing. You also begin to feel very small, powerless and vulnerable when thinking about the gigantic, powerful things in space.
dacypher22 substitute "you" and 'i' and "our brain" with "ego" and you will see it's just the ego who starts to feel vulnerable and small, dissolve the ego and you'll see that you're the Infinite.
with the music XD
omg yes
Lol I know, always takes my breath away.
I remember when I saw this in sophomore year of high school and wasn’t aware there were bigger stars than the Sun and so this video gave me an existential crisis at the time. It also fueled my interest and I started doing my own research on these things
Oh I member
Remember my show
Earth (You are here)
Thanks.
lol
The sad thing is, there are probably people that were helped by that placard.
More like Earth - the only planet with Wifi
Well yeah, the only PLANET
because the moon has wifi
isn't that just amazing
Yea, didn't know that!
I came back to this video after watching it back in 2010. I was 8 back then and I just got my mind blown. I was literally speechless about the fact that we were this small.
This was the first video that motivated me to research all about it. Thank you for making this video!
And the distances between objects in the universe are immense... Absolutely unfathomable to the human mind.
I was basically the same age when I first saw this too.. I was so obsessed with planets and stars at the time and this was one of my absolute favorite videos to go back to again and again
@@TheCappuccino04 fr bro every 8 year old chooses either space, trains, or cars to obsess over
How to have an existential crisis in under 3 minutes
What does existential mean?
Why? To the contrary, now you are more aware of your size in comparison to the universe you are in, you should be more realistic about your meaning in it. After all, you are the one who is trying to tell to universe whether it is created by an omnipotent being or not and it (the universe) in all its infiniteness can't even correct you even if you are wrong about your judgment ... go figure.
Don't feel small people. Remember that the atoms in our bodies were inside massive stars, we are star dust. We are the Universe expresing itself in a human form so it can know itself for a little while. Be proud.
The atoms from Hitler's lungs that he breathed are atoms that you're breathing right now. Be proud.

this makes me think humans are crazy fighting over something as small as earth

They are.
[...] Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

+morn1415 You are not seeing the whole thing itself.
Let's just say that one other country like England all the suddenly diced to invade and kill every last one in America and conquest those lands.
We gonna of course defend ourselves, so do it again, and again, and again...
and in each of those attacks we are losing people and money so we decide to putt on end in to this invading England.
after done this we gonna look like aggressor to other country's across to world who don't like how we react, and attack us, again, and again, and again, and here we go in the endless circle.
but you are the emperor king priest or wherever is ruling, how would you get out of this circle?
you don't know it right?
no does! we just do what we had to!
to do so you would have to got one weapon against human nature, what would make you one tyrant, like Hitler or worse...
so please do us all a favor and think twice before speak about Menkind fallen HEROES like that!!!!
I watched this video when I was in 3rd grade when I was really into space and all that. I was so fascinated by it I showed to all my friends and family who didn't see what I saw. I wish I could get back into it all...
SAME!! I was like that in 2nd to 4th grade then it died out
ManlyAnimal
don't worry about it you 2. when I was a kid I also was into outer space. it died out for a while, but it came back the older I got. I'm 44 now. so be patient. space has been there for 13 billion years. it's not gonna go anywhere for the time being. you will find it again like I did. now, go get interested in girls and race cars. then come back to outer space.
kcirred nosrednad m
Totally agree. I'm back into it now at 35. My son is obsessed (7). I hope it never fades but if it does I'll just bide my time till the interest comes back.
I watched this in 4th grade
10 years later it’s still my favorite video!
So I finally found THIS exact video
I remember watching this video at Astro Camp in Southern Cali when I went there as a trip in 5th Grade. I vividly remembering this video mainly of the music being blasted and actually scaring me
I was at Astro Camp in Southern California too- fifth grade. they showed us this at night- and it terrified me- the damn music was so loud- funny how I remember it three years later.
You guys discovered it through Astro Camp too? That's awesome! Brings back fond memories from a decade ago. Best class trip ever.
@@GreatNate98 for me it was only around three years ago, meaning they’ve been playing the same video this whole time

same but i thought it was cool
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE-
...OMG!
good
It made me a complete space nerd for the next seven or so years lol
this is very nostalgic! Really recognise the soundtrack tho...
Sounds like something out of twilight zone😂
It does but it’s the theme for a movie called the black hole
It's from the Blade Runner movie
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is perfect for any self-centered person.
This made me want to kill myself due to the realization of my own insignificance
McSwaggenz you should see a doctor
"The world revolves around me!"
"Oh yeah, what about VY Canis Majoris bitch?"
It's perfect to put back in place a whole race, the human race.
Didn't work still self centered.
I watched this video when I was four when it came out. 10 Years later I still watch this great video. Kinda scared me but I liked it back then. I used to think the part from mercury to the biggest star was like 10+ minutes.

I feel like he intentionally left out Uranus...
***** why ?
+ChaosTheoryIdiots nope.
He left out Uranus Pluto and the other 4 dwarfs
Pro Gamer 7 idiot why did he need to put in the dwarf planets?
+TheHardstyleMusicz It must be coz their Homophobic
The reference to how long it would take a plane to fly around the star once really helped me wrap my mind around the enormity of objects in space
amazing comparison!!! HATS OFF!!!!
but i need headphones to watch, I FEEL SO DISRESPECTFUL!!!

"Are you guys ready to feel even less significant than you already do?"
-My science teacher immediately before showing us this video.
What was your classes reaction?
@@Chukoki Idk man this was years ago. I think they got upset though.
A celestial monster, It is one of the largest known stars, with a diameter just over 1.400 times that of the Sun and, by virtue of its size, it is one of the brightest of the Milky Way, about 270.000 times more than the Sun. Over the years it has been searched to determine the dimensions of VY Canis Majoris, an operation made difficult by the fact that the upper layer of the star has a very low density and is in a phase of change. Currently, having expanded incredibly during the final stages of his life, it is estimated that this star has a radius greater than that of the orbit of Jupiter about 800 million km.
Ur comment gg
A diameter 1.400 times the size of our sun? It Scuti is over 1,400 times bigger that's huge compared to this star.
@@ethanhorn5476 I did not say it is the largest known star, but one of the largest known stars.
@@ElectricExperimentsRobert33 lol I know I was joking.
Only 2000's kids remember this.
Only ancient Greek kids remember this.
Only The first two humans remember this

Does being 1 month old when this was made count as being a 2000's kid tho cus that's me
Me too remember this one -_-
Technically everything is the center of the universe all at once.
Brian Cox, professor of physics at the University of Manchester, UK, said that we are each the center of the universe. Assuming the Big Bang Theory is correct, all matter was at that infinitely small point. I don't understand how an explosion occurred but everything stayed in the same place. I get that it has something to do with relative position, but I can't understand how dimension occurred if nothing moved (we've all gone from teensy middle to huge middle?). It's a fun concept to ping-pong around in my mind, to try to comprehend.
How can you say this beautifull masterpiece could have been created without the power of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
*tips fedora*
if people created spaghetti, how spaghetti could created people? O.O
Assas Are you questioning the great power of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!?
Of course no. just asking
Assas the spaghetti was a gift from the Flying Spaghetti Monster

This video in 6th grade science class single handedly got me into space and all the mystery’s of it.
I’m 17 now and this video still blows my mind
Saw this in 2012, back to it in 2018.
2021
Beautiful, this was the first universe comparison I saw back when I was in middle school, around 2010-2011. I'm glad I found it but now I'm being filled with memories and nostalgia xD come back old yt!
Edit: there seems to be more galaxies than what astronomers thought back then, future humans have a very very very long way to go if they want to discover every secret of our universe.
Fr nostalgia
Me too!! I also just watched another video, and I know I’m a little old to just find this out now, but theres a multiverse with other universes!?
Actually, I am the centre of the universe. everywhere is the centre because the Universe is infinite in size (theoretically).
Aidan Ratnage : or how to be wrong on all counts.
InXLsisDeo I am wrong but also correct, the centre is everywhere and nowhere.
Aidan Ratnage Space has an end so nothing but the center of the cosmic web is the center of the Universe.
william evans What's a cosmic web?
It's the web of all the galaxies of the observable universe
Am I the only one who came here because I saw this in school today?
No I am one of them.
Damion Garcia yay^.^
Same
holy shit me too
***** i guess you just need to be proud of yourself for something.
That awkward moment when they've discovered Larger Stars than Canis Majoris since the creation of this vid. How big can these things get?
Well they did find a bigger one so I guess there is a one that's unimaginably huge
six or eight times bigger than VY Canis Majoris...
And, it's not awkward that they've discovered bigger stars than VY Canis Majoris right now. This video is old and ofcourse they've discovered bigger stars.
Includes UY Scuti and NML Cygni
Those are the 2 stars bigger than VY Canis Majoris
(Don't forget Stephenson 2-18)
I watched this in science time at my school and my first reaction was, “the music is kinda creepy.” 😂😂😂
And this is exactly why the idea that we humans are the only form of life is no only preposterous, but incredibly arrogant!!!
+Art Golden Shut your mouth Art...Earth is an interplanetary MIRACLE...ABOUT 2 MILLION THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO CREATE ANOTHER EARTH ..the chances of another earth are 1 in 17 billion
+tς๏ฬק™ Really? www.space.com/30172-six-most-earth-like-alien-planets.html And who said anything about human life?
+tς๏ฬק™ Even if this numbers are correct: There are about 2 billion stars only in our galaxy and ~every 2nd Star has at least 1 planet. With the 200+ billion galaxys out there, you have at least a few trillion planets. So with your 1:17 billion, there would have to be thousands of other earths
ViciousMusic Well its my belief they are not earth but merely planets which my contain life in some form
You have to understand that earth creation was thew result of a big bang and it after that many many things had to happen all at one time in order for earth to be created ...earth is an interplanetary miracle.....sure...people live who have won the lottery not once but twice...si id be naïve and stupid to not think it cant happen again...but the chances of an exact match to earth are as close to impossible os it gets....even if earth is out there it would be so far away we will never know it...light speed travel as we know it doesn't exist
tς๏ฬק™ Of course i didnt want to say that there are exact copys of the earth out there (nor human-like life). Just that it would also be a miracle, if we were the only form of life in the universe. Animals which also need oxygen, water and food to survive, Hollywood-Aliens or a completly different form of life we cannt even imagine, that doesnt really matter.
“And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander.”

blackczer123 This article will shut your brain off.
www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104391493
Taliban True personally im not trying to say anything bad, All religion is equal of terrible crimes at one point but i guess this is the era of atrocities of extreme Islamic groups
blackczer123 You can't blame on any religion, because no religion preaches killing of innocent lives. It is in the responsibility of follower to maintain its principles.
But you must admit that in the main-stream media is trying its level best to defame Islam. On the other hand, it is also the fastest growing religion in the world. Why ? because people tend to READ.
Muslims could be wrong, or perhaps are wrong. But Islam is perfect. It is the same religion which came down from Adam (peace be upon him), but WE Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc have failed God repeatedly.
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
(Glorious Quran 49:13)
And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

If we lived in a planet as big as that last star, we could wonder if aliens lived on the other half
*claps* that is brilliant XD
It's a sobering thought, isn't it? Even after these 5,000-odd years of human history, we'd _still_ be exploring Earth if Earth were Canis-Majoris-sized. O_O
What a beautiful and nostalgic video. Thank you so much for posting this all those years ago! 😌
This caused a whole classroom to freak out in my primary school ten years ago
Size is one of the most insignificant aspects of human life. And yet size is the only thing the universe has on us. We can study, learn about, and understand the universe. Neither the universe nor anything in it that we have yet encountered can understand us or even itself.
The ability to know and to love is greater than the size of the universe and everything in it.
Human life is not insignificant in the grand scheme of things because of size. In the grand scheme of things it is size that is insignificant.
John O'Neill XD what if the planet dies by a meteorite?
+tubehows4life A black hole is not a living organism...
+tubehows4life
Love is not a chemical or a biological process.
Mortality does not make love insignificant.
What you described as love is proper to animals, not to human beings, who are rational and free, i.e. persons. We have those lower drives related to continuing the species as well, but we have higher inclinations in addition to those we share with animals. Our minds have a natural inclination to truth, i.e. we have a natural desire for knowledge, and our freedom is naturally inclined to the good, i.e. we desire what we perceive as good, even when we are mistaken about what is actually good. That means that humans are capable of moral good and evil, something that everything else in the universe is incapable of. That is significant. We have higher kinds of powers than everything else, intellect and will (rationality and freedom).
What is important is not determined by size or mortality, it is determined by the capacities of different things for good, and humans are capable of moral good, which makes human life more significant than the whole non-rational physically determined unconscious universe. The universe is merely the stage for the drama of human life. A thing exists for those who are able to make use of it and enjoy it. The universe cannot enjoy us or itself, we can enjoy our lives and the beauty and grandeur of the universe, and make use of things we find in it. We do not exist for the universe, the universe exists for us.
+blackczer123
Whats your point? Love is still more significant than the whole universe. The truth that we will die one day and that a meteorite could kill us all does not change any of that.
What if all humans did die? What would be the point of the universe without any rational beings to experience and think about the universe? It would have no point. The universe is not significant on its own. Its only significant as a place where rational beings can live.
+tubehows4life
Things can only be significant for humans. The very word SIGNificant implies meaning. Only humans have the capacity to understand meaning. Nothing is significant for the universe. The universe understands nothing. The universe benefits from nothing. The universe enjoys nothing. Significance is only for humans.
To say there is no such thing as good and evil is manifestly absurd. Of course that does not stop people from saying it. People hold ridiculous and absurd positions all the time. You obviously do not even understand what morals are or what is meant by good and evil because they most certainly do not have anything to do with chemical processes. The ability to care about things based on chemical processes in your brain does not constitute morals. Animals have brains and emotions that draw them to certain things. They do not have morality. Morality is not rooted in our inclination to certain things, it is rooted in our ability to understand the things to which we are naturally ordered and and to pursue them freely.
Free actions have moral qualities.
Actions are free when they are done on the basis of knowledge of what one is acting for.
In order to deny human freedom you would have to deny human knowledge.
And yet you claim to know a lot about the universe and even about the human brain.
Your very arguments against human morality presupposes human knowledge and yet human knowledge is the basis of human freedom, which is the realm of morality.
I am distinguished from animals by rationality.
Humans are by definition rational animals.
Animal is simply a living and sentient being.
Humans are not only living and sentient, but also rational, and therefore specifically different from all other animals.
The ability to study things is not merely a trait, it is an ability rooted in power that belongs to us because of our rational nature. You are trying to equate all abilities. The point is that some abilities belong only to beings of higher natures. There is an order among different kinds of natural things.
Among the things that exist, some have life and some do not.
Those that have life are of a higher order of nature than those that do not.
Among the things that live, some have sensation and some do not.
Those that sense are of a higher order of nature than living things that do not.
Among living and sensitive things, some have rationality and some do not.
Those that have rationality are of a higher order of nature than animals that do not.
Black holes not only do not have rationality, they also do not have sensation or even life. Black holes are not even unified existing individuals. A black hole is just the way that a large mass of matter happens to act together. So a black hole is not a single thing that has certain abilities, it is a conglomeration of many different things producing certain effects.
Because humans exist, live, sense, and reason. We contain all the different levels of nature in ourselves. We cannot do what a black hole does mainly because a black hole is not a unified existing individual, you are speaking about black holes as if they were unified existing individuals of a particular nature with certain abilities ("become time itself, pull in light, move through space/time continuums"). Those things are the way that matter behaves in certain circumstances, but it is not an actual individual thing with a nature and abilities. It is like a body of water. You can study fluid dynamics, which is how fluids flow, but it is not as if a body of water were a thing that had certain abilities. Fluid dynamics simply explains the way that fluids behave. But a single molecule of water is not able to do the things that a large body of water can do, and yet a large body of water is merely an aggregate of individually existing molecules of water. The very fact that material elements are able to act in a conglomerate way shows their lack of uniqueness and individuality, which also shows a lack of perfection (i.e. the higher perfections, life, sensation, reason and more unique and more individual) Water added to water is just water. A human added to a human is not a larger human.
The things that you think a black hole "can do" are not even really "being done" by a black hole. It is just the way that matter behaves in certain circumstances and it is nothing more than the exponential magnification of what matter can do in other circumstances because of the incredible mass of matter involved. Its like a tsunami. Tsunami's can do things that a small body of water cannot do, or that a single molecule of water cannot do, but what it can do is nothing more than multiplying and expanding the properties of a single molecule of water. Life, sensation, and especially reason, are not merely the expanding of properties of individual elements and molecules, they are different kinds of actions all together.
The kinds of actions that a black hole can do also belong to everything else in the universe, because everything else in the universe is also composed of matter. It just does not belong to them in the same exceedingly powerful and unbelievably incredible way. Analogous to what a tsunami can do all water can do, just not with the same immensity of power.
Im only here for the music tbh
Same lol
TazarWolf. Lmfao me too
the music is ruclips.net/video/JI6VPFQw6BU/видео.html
I also 😂😂

This was the very first video I remember watching on RUclips back in 2009. Nostalgia hit me like a train
I found it again, thanks for being here the whole time, thank you, this is a very big thing to me, all I can say is thank you
Wow, all of a sudden I feel really really really really small and insignificant.....
***** don't! You matter! :)
If anything, this makes me feel large.
***** dont let it! until other life is found, we're the most significant and intellectually advanced things in the universe!
***** You are.
***** your problems are not that big..
That's just beyond our thinking. That's just amazing!!
Probably one of the better size comparison vids I have seen. I always imagined flying away from earth and then seeing the different celestial bodies as the progressed in size. Good video!!
I remember this from my early childhood and just remembered it in science class 😂
oh my god this is so scary !
ikr😂😂💀 like that is BIG damn

"Size of Earth>."
8year old me: *gets an exisional crisis*
1:42 I honestly don't know if I can . I feel unable to even comprehend such a size , my life and my experience are my limitations.
Magnificent.
I've never had existentual crisis watching these kind of videos, I've always found it fascinating instead.
Probally one of the greatest youtube video of all time. Love this. Deserves an award.
The size comparison makes it seems more real. Just between earth and neptune, and the sudden shock of the sun, then the great starts after. Such an amazing insight into the cosmos, in all it's wonderous heights and scale. Everything is just a bigger circle in the end. Earth, we're such a tiny little dot, in comparison. How magic we get to be here and see it.
coolest thing i've ever seen
+Heather Doman This website on this link is much cooler. It's an interactive scale starting from a proton nucleus all the way up to the observable universe. It takes about 40 seconds to load.

+Heather Doman toy story wasn't that bad either
I actually find funny the logic of some scientists about the probability of life in space. There's billions of galaxies in space, with billions of planets in each of them. Based on probability and how massive and expansive this universe is, there MUST be some intelligent life out there.
But some scientists say: "If there is life in space, why haven't them visited us already?" or "found them already?" There being intelligent life in space DOESN'T mean they have the answers for all the questions of the universe nor the technology to travel through different galaxies (if there is life in space). I believe there is alien life out there...
Brandon Austria You'll have to show us these "scientists", because none of the ones I know think we are alone in the universe. And they very well know why we haven't been visited: because even if there are millions of civilizations, space is so damn huge that interstellar space travel is impractical and encounter is unlikely, at least in our area of the galaxy.
InXLsisDeo When the cold war ended, the greatest scientist's gathered in Moscow, Sir Bernard Lovell of Jodrell bank Radio Telescope fame, stated that he was surprised that his eminent colleagues who studied the Universe had all come to the same conclusion in their separate observations, that the order they saw in it convinced them that it had to have been created, this was 25 years ago, as he said if he had given that opinion himself 20 years before he would have been ridiculed by the science community. Of course Evolution is nothing but an unproven theory and will always be so, it is scientifically proven that it is impossible for any life form to change it's DNA, that is science speaking not Needs, Climate, or other factors determining shape or form the growing of extra limbs etc, impossible.
David Tree Then who created those who created us?
Damn i used to watch this when i was 5 or 6 watching this now is nostalgic and relaxing brings back memories of the comparisons 15 years is crazy time actually flies
Good job!
767 viewers still think they are the centre of the universe.
MarkTheMorose Well, technically the universe is infinite (and still expanding) in every direction, so, those 767 viewers could theoretically be at the center of the universe.
blue_jay96 Everything inside the universe (Execpt I'm pretty sure its just black outside the universe since it doesn't have stars to BE stars) can BE the center of the universe but there can only be one center, meaning that you are wrong, but also right.
And there can't be a rightwrong answer, means this question is irrevelant to ask.
MarkTheMorose So what? Christians?
Well universe doesn't even exist
This is wrinkling my brain.
These sizes simply do not fit into the human imagination.
Video blocked in US :(
Jason Polites That's odd.
I love this. I've seen it before, but it never gets old.
Right after Rigel is where my brain starts wailing...
There are a bunch of reposts of this video it turns out, so a quick search on YT finds it :)
Also, that last "for scale" comparison is kind of weird.
Oh, it'd take 1100 years to fly around it, you say? That's interesting, and also completely impossible to wrap my brain around. :P
This makes me wanna get out of the milky way and explore other galaxies and universes.
Same lol
The fact that this is from 2009 is wild. The information may be a little outdated but the animation looked outstanding for the time and it still does. This video is timeless!
I remember watching this when I was like 7 or 8 and it making me fall in love with space for the first time. Now I'm going on to pursue astrophysics. Thank you for that
it says "earth (you are here)" though im on mars :/
colorphactic - and the new version says "you are STILL here"...
colorphactic 🤦♂️
Your statement would make sense in 10 years maybe
I’m on big dickolopugus
Yeah, as a person who likes to chill on Neptune, I feel left out :(
I remember seeing this 4 years ago and it scared me so much- and somehow ive found it again but this time im amazed
This video marked my childhood. I want to leave my mark on record that I was present here
Actually, if we're getting technical here, according to the cosmological principle every single point in the universe is the center of the universe. Since the universe is expanding at a rate faster than the speed of light in every single direction, the universe is infinitely far away from you in every direction. What this means is that every single point, no matter how microscopic, in the entire universe, is the center of the expansion of the entire universe.

+Kyle Davis fair enough, but you can also admit that humans are shit, and deserve the fate that awaits them.
technically, the universe did once, in its beginning at the big bang, expand faster than the speed of light. however, now that the energy has had a chance to spread out, it doesn't travel that fast. get your facts right(if we're getting technical here).
aleder1 No the Universe is increasing in rate of expansion do to Dark matter.
Also if we want to get technical, many galaxies fly faster away from us, faster than the speed of light, do to different reference frames.
This is very impressive for a first video. Well done, and very informative :)
Everyones here talking about the size of the stars or center of the universe, but this modeling was spot on like i wouldve thought this was real video, great work man!
Yah it was really good!
i've come back to this video every few years since like 2014
You forgot Uranus
This video: *exists*
UY Scuti: i'm gonna ruin this man's whole comparison.
Stepherson 2-18: i'm gonna ruin these two's whole record.
Đoèè?
now it might be stephenson 2-18
Nice one HAHAHAHA
technically, every point in the universe is the centre of the universe
with that logic none is. the universe most likely has a some kind of a center where it started expanding after the big bang
Miko-Matias Kainulainen actually not, the big bang was not an explosion that started in a point in space and spread away from it, there was no space at the moment of the big bang, so everything that came to be expanded from there and away from every other point of space, so space expands... it's really weird and Dr Krauss explains it much better: 'A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009 (the rest of the talk is also very interesting)
It's called a cosmological principle.
Miko-Matias Kainulainen If the space of the universe is always expanding, then there cannot be a centre.
Miko-Matias Kainulainen
There is no centre of the universe. It didn't expand from a central point. The entire universe was already formed when it was created, it was just tiny, and inflated equally at every point. It's better to say Big Inflation than Big Bang
Darn I've been looking for this video more than 10 yrs and finally found it!!!! Thanks for your great video which remained in my mind ever since I watched it
Love the soundtrack from the 1979 movie “The Black Hole”! Loved that movie when I was a kid!
Me too!
I find space to be so relaxing. Just the thought of it calms me down.
I knew someone who would freak out when thinking about the infinity of the univers. Like a machine who couldn't compute anymore. Man space is awesome, its infinity is its beauty.
can we leave religious comments out of a scientific video for once
its impossible to separate the Almighty Creator from science, bcuz science IS the study of His creation. but its so sad when atheists use science to run God out of the universe.
Exactly what i meant, nutjob
***** good to see someone is educated
*****
Jesus Christ is our Creator, stop insulting Him. How dare you !!!!!
you are disgusting !!!!!
Mary Freeman And you are insane, so nobody cares
This video was the one that made realize that there really were more stars that the sun and much MUCH bigger in size
Actually I am the center of the universe. At the same time you are the center of the universe. It's the cosmological principle. There is no center of the universe, and at the same time any given point can be percieved as the center.
Philosophy class is just down the hall! ;)
Actually your not the center. The center of the universe is over trillion of light years off. Not the fact that the universe is infinitely growing which means the center of the universe is changing every millisecond plus the likely hood of being at the center is less than 0.00000000000000000001% Sorry to crush your dreams.
No hes right. His perception of the Universe starts with him, as it does with you after that; then yes you are correct but to troll him for being right (in his own way) is not constructive. Be Well~
Well, I would rather stick to my opinion since Big Bang was an explosion not an expansion. Because of that, the place where the universe had its orgin is probably empty. The matter was send in every direction and never stopped on its trip inside the void. It's like our part (and any other part) of the universe is on a surface of a constantly growing balloon. In such enviroment, there is no center because the place that have the right to be the center is simply empty.
totally true. i think theres a vsauce video on that.
I watched this very stoned with my mates and we were all just screaming. It just keeps going. Universe what the fuck
I feel INCREDIBLY small right now
Morn1415:stars are big
Song:twinkle twinkle little star.
Me:MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD IS A LIE.
Yes....the dear Earth, maybe just a tiny dot! ....
Oh.. but we have plenty of water...
to the universe it would be a drop of water
but we do have water :D
Europa has more water than earth oceans
technically you are the centre of the universe. Since the universe is not constrained within a space: at-least not a 3D space then the centre is wherever the observation is coming from. The more you know
If the universe is expanding from the initial location of the big bang, wouldn't that be the center of the universe?
A Morgan The big bang is not believed to originate from a single point but instead is the simultaneous expansion of everything across space time. I know it takes a bit of getting your head around
Thomas Mason Maybe an example would be, the whole universe is like the surface of a balloon which keeps inflating. That way, there would be no center.
megahurtz30 That is the analogy oftan used.
0:25 Venus is spinning the wrong way.
Ye
i remember religiously watching this as a little kid and going back full circle as i am pursuing a physics undergrad w a concentration in astronomy so thank you very much TvT
1. UY Scuti
2. NML Cygni
3. WOH G64
7. VY Canis Majoris
WHERE'S URANUS AND PLUTO?!? What the heck
Princess Leafy Idk if Uranus was discovered in 2009 and in 2006 Pluto became a dwarf planet
@@Shadow_Drip I still consider Pluto a planet lol
@@deadaccountunsubscribenow4640 good 4 u :D
I’ve watched your videos since 2015. This was the exact video that got me into space, this video is a masterpiece. :D
I watched this for the first time in elementary school. This video is still intense all these years later. The music gives me chills
Why the complicated names? Start off with like "Steve" and "Bob" and once you discover too many stars per name then start making shit up.
+Brigit Smith perfect
Look, there's probably hundreds of trillions of these things out there...you're eventually gonna run out of good names.
Besides, I remember VY Canis Majoris...I know too many fucking Bills, Bobs, Mikes, and Timmys to remember them as stars.
lol bill
And imagine the nightmare for space opera writers who want to inlcude real stars...
"That's it...here we are...the imperial capital...the beacon of hope of the entire galaxy...beware the mighty world that we, imperials, know as...Timmy..."
Not shitup im a girl
Lol I hope I am not the only one who notices that Uranus is missing in the video? btw RIP Pluto :(

And Pluto died?
Same dwarf-planet as before...
Ethan Montgomery I noticed too
MIND. BLOWN.
That was awesome! My mind is blown that was crazy!! That is sooo cool
In elementary school, I had a group presentation and one person in my group surprised us by showing this video to the class. It stuck with me ever since, especially the music. I remembered the whole thing so vividly, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Now I'm a college student ;-;
