It’s lucky this region is so near to us. Great news for study of massive stars. Makes you think what else might be out in the universe just out of our current observation.
i find it really hard to grasp that this kind of unique object is so near given all the possible places it could be.what are the odds?maybe this illustrates well the principle that given the size of universe and time even the most incredible events will occur.i hope jesus people don t find about this tho.who knows what they will make out of this.
i mean this is just the stuff that happens to be close you us, so it just happens to be the brightest and biggest near us. but realistically there’s probably plenty of bigger things out there.
Even our own galaxy has tight packed stars within central bulge. I don't know the exact figure but there is a lot of them! Density of gas & dust is also much higher there than where we reside along our Sun. Which is also the reason of high star formation and star count there.
Anton, you are one of the best, if not the best galactic journalist in the cosmos. There should be some sort of award for that. You would receive it.👏!
I like the way you set that massive star’s radiating aurora perfectly around your head…(4:50) LOL very majestic! ⭐️👍 (a1 = Anton 1 ?) The super bright yt star!

I thought R136 was actually inside a globular cluster, but now see that it is one which is probably forming, and that the surrounding young stars are also incredibly bright, and when one appreciates the luminosity of R136 as being over x4 million greater than our sun, that is really awesome!
Thanks for explaining in ways which I as an everyday person can relate to.. such as the example that if it were closer it would be the equivalent of a full moon.. this made my jaw drop, because I can relate to it. Thanks so much 😃
Hubble was deployed from a space shuttle in April of 1990 via the robotic arm (very awesome event in its own right) and we started seeing Hubble images shortly thereafter in the 90’s.
Considering this is mostly new information provided by Hubble, I can't wait til James Webb focuses on that region for an extended period of time.. hopefully it will provide some unique insights into Wolf-Rayet stars and their lives.
JWST specializes in IR wavelengths, but these stars are so hot they radiate UV and soft X-rays. That said, I'm sure JWST can still see these stars well.
Hot gasses in the region might drown out any benefits of the higher resolution in IR, but I still wanna see... When they get the digital subtraction of the Fresnel spikes down pat it will be worth it.
you learn more by the exception to the rule - than - all the data in the rule....thats why i love this channel keep looking at the weird fringe stuff we love it
These are incredible stars, considering our sun is the most powerful thing near us yet is insignificant in comparison. Sadly that region is uninhabitable.
Hi Anton. Thank you for ALL of your great videos. Your vast knowledge of the universe and ability to explain it is wonderful. I am truly sorry that I cannot contribute anything to your very worthy cause. We are on social security and with rising prices we are unable to meet expenses as it. Not sure what we are going to do, but you are in our thoughts and prayers. Keep up.the good work.
2:02 Anton.. good day to you sir. See that cluster? See it’s round shape? The universe looks just like that from afar. Imagine looking at it from outside of it. It would look like that cluster I bet except bigger. It would contain more galaxies in the fashion we see with those stars right there in the video.
Okay - This may seem like sort of a basic question, but it occurs to me that in big star clusters, like this one in Anton's video, with many very big, very bright and very hot stars, that they would pretty quickly exhaust all available nearby burnable Hydrogen. Then, as we've learned when the hydrogen gets consumed for fusion inside the stars, stars begin burning Helium, and then other progressively heavier elements right down the periodic table of elements until they flame out with Iron.. and then explode!! Big Bada-BOOM!! So, 2 aspects of this fascinating stellar nursery.. 1 - How long do all of these comparatively hot young bright "O Type" stars last before they begin burning heavier and heavier elements because they've burned up all nearby available Hydrogen?? 2 - It would seem to be a fascinating field of study to closely examine the exact stellar spectra of as many of these hot young bright stars as possible in a cluster like this and develop, over time with many observations, a deeper knowledge and understanding of exactly how long they do last, and maybe a few things about their inner workings and the physics of these fascinating stars and these intense stellar clusters!! Thanks for another really fascinating video Anton! Nicely Done!!
It's great to see an intelligent question come up. Outstanding actually! The intense fusion processes and resulting stellar winds restrict the available fuel for the star to whatever was contained within it at the time that the fusion process was initiated. All other hydrogen in the vicinity is blown away. The fusion process in such stars occurs in layers with each layer producing heavier elements that then fall down to the next layer and so on, much like the layers of an onion, as you more or less suggested. However, OB type giants never have the opportunity to use up all of their hydrogen because they reach the supernova stage first. These types of stars have been intensely studied for a long time because they are so bright and easily observed. You would probably enjoy reading about the extensive work done by Fred Hoyle on core collapse supernova and stellar nucleosynthesis. That guy was a brilliant astrophysicist, to put it mildly.
@@booklover6753 Thanks for that. I just find this fascinating, and being a "lay-person" when it comes to these topics, it's just fascinating to me when watching videos like this that discuss really interesting Astrophysics related things. I'll look up Fred Hoyle and see if I can read and understand what he's written about these things as you suggest. Thanks!
Chain reaction of supernovae? Within what distance will one explosion trigger another? 5000au is mighty close and there were 3000 stars in a 10 lightyear Glob - that’d be cool.
@@booklover6753 in Australia we used to call them ‘bungers’ when I was a kid - so I’d call them a Bungernova. NB: pronounced with a soft G like “lung”-ah as opposed to lunger or hunger
Very easily. The surprising thing is not that massive stars form close together, but that stars can even form at all, as you need to shed a LOT of energy and angular momentum to squish a light years-wide cloud of gas into a few million kilometers. Read up on star formation if you’re interested, it’s remarkably complex for such a simple concept.
I'm wondering why such a large amount of matter arrived in this region before any stars even formed. Then, when it did for whatever reason, why the result was not a direct collapse black hole.
With HG Wells' time machine to observe things change like a fast forward film, I could imagine a fireworks display of incredible proportions as these stars explode over the next millions of years. I hope none of the polar ejecta streams are pointed our way. ;)
No. Good question though. The event horizon effect is caused by the presence of an extremely intense gravitational well existing in a relatively small volume. These stars, although not as huge as a red supergiant, are still quite large and the matter that creates their gravity is more spread out, so to speak.
@@booklover6753 why? Gravity is an effect of a mass body..the dent in space time is same right? Due to same mass..Just because of small area with huge mass how a black hole is creating this event horizon and not Star? I am lost there
@@MnM008 Sorry that I ducked out on you a couple of days ago, but I got busy doing other things and had to leave for a while. Whether or not an object is a black hole is a function of its' density. There are countless stars in the universe that have more than enough mass to eventually form a black hole, but they must first undergo a supernova explosion and then the remaining material may further collapse into a black hole. Black holes are all about have a huge amount of mass compacted into a very small volume. Imagine having an object the size and mass of our Sun being compressed down to a diameter of only about 3.5 miles. All of that gravitational potential is now concentrated into a relatively tiny little area. The Earth, if it were to be compressed to a similar density would be less than 1 inch in diameter, with all of its' gravity concentrated in that little volume. Weird, but true. Gotta go. See you later!

Wow I didn't know such a tight packaged cluster was possible. Cool stuff!
Yep. There are galaxies that are also tightly packed.
The ultra blue compact galaxies can have 100 million stars within 200 lightyears.

@1:20 The Hubble telescope actually became *operational* in April, 1990.
What is the average temperature of space in this region?
So many so massive atomic fires have to dump a lot of energy into their surroundings.
