It's honestly so amazing how many people have so many telescopes pointed up now. I remember when it was very expensive to get into astronomy and it was probably a major factor in me losing interest when I was younger, my family just couldn't afford for me to get more into it as a hobby.
Well, Okish system will cost you 7-10k now. Rig could be lesser expensive, but that will be trap. You will want more.
cost about 100$ usd now
@@bawrukid8734 Yes, you can get such rig. But to get dissent versatility, you will need more. There are RUclips videos on differences between 1 to 10K rigs. Eventually, you will lose money, if you go cheap.
Honestly i hope we do somenthing about light pollution so it may become even cheaper !
@@davidegaruti2582 Well. CPS energy delayed replacement of broken backstreet lamp, and guess what. People were attacked by coyotes on that dark street, right in 1million + city, San Antonio.
As luck would have it, I was in the desert east of San Diego doing astrophotography with my 11-inch F5 telescope. My target was the Pinwheel Galaxy. So after watching this video I pulled up my images and, sure enough, there it is! How cool. Thanks, Anton.
1 minute and 44 seconds solely dedicated to Patreon subscribers.
Thanks guys for keeping Anton going .
And he has sped up the scroll considerably from what it was back when I first found him, when he was called What Da Math, as well. Makes me very happy, knowing a _science communicator_ is supported so enthusiastically! ❤❤❣️
@@MaryAnnNytowl it was what da math when I first discovered this channel too. It was mostly Anton playing games like Kerbal and universe sandbox back then, not much of the science communication that we get now.
Anton is a treasure and only helps with our understanding of our Universe.
Independent astronomers are truly wonderful people. 💚♾️
Education time with the mighty wonderful person, Anton!
I *love* you saying independent astronmers rather than Amateur :)
Thanks for getting this out so quick. Now many more people can see it.
I decided to start a multi night imaging project on Messier 101 last week, I’ve been slowly adding data with my 10”newt with limited Astro dark, unfortunately I missed out on potentially being the one to discover it bcus of it being cloudy that night, but still have a nice little before and after and still working on the final image.
I’ve been training all three of my Astro Rigs on M 101 and M51 over the last two weeks testing different filters and configurations.
Running from 10 PM all the way up to about 5 AM each time. On the 19th when it was discovered. I just happened to switch to M51 and I missed my chance of discovering it lol.
I’m so crossed over it lol!
but I got some crazy images of it since then
You’re in the game. Congratulations.
I also had a similar experience, I decided to start a little multi night project on M101 last week. Just so happened to be cloudy on the night it happened but I got some nice data from before and after with my 10”newt
A shame I wasn’t the one to discover it but oh well. Imaging it right now actually.
Do people share these online? Like on some forum or smth?
Hi. You are another wonderful person... What a passion! What a patience! ❤
Anton, continue in this way. I'm tired of blocking and muting RUclips channels because of clickbait titles like "JWST shatters the laws of science" or "JWST confirms Big Bang never occurred, Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson speak out for the first time," or "Confirmed! Terrifying discovery by JWST! We're living inside a black hole," and so on.
I'm disgusted by them.
@Hewhoremains420 some people are
Anton has a real-deal channel
@Hewhoremains
"The shock value of black holes rapidly changes into up and down quarks as according to the quantum chromodynamics of the Schrödinger equation with no artificial flavors. The underlying Hilbert space of zesty jalapeño rings displays all the wonders of multi-cellular diversity because rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock. The linear combination of the eigenstates of asteroids around Uranus have the tail wagging the dog as this is compatible with current evidence. I'm so deeply grateful for the few scientists who are standing up for the reality of ice cream becoming superconductive at room temperature. The genie is out of the bottle. The horse has left the stable by using quantum tunneling. The probability of decay of one quark to another is a complicated function of potato salad. Friends don't let friends drink and play the accordion. Those who fail to remember the future are doomed to repeat it in the past. Seaweed and wood pulp govern the wave function of a quantum-mechanical system of massless vectors like mathematical formulations in a toaster oven. Let stand one minute before serving with the photoelectric effect. "
---Albert Einstein
clickbait nonsense. people need to be rewarded for quality content, not for click numbers.
maybe that would encourage better content.
Incentive structures in the digital medium are all wrong
@Hewhoremains420 Oh, no absolutely not, as far as we can tell, this is just one of hundreds of theories... but those clickbait guys, who want to get us forcibly to click on their videos, are talking nonsense (or maybe not, but their video titles say so).
Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that RUclipsrs shouldn't discuss this theory, but why lie by claiming "JWT revealed that..."? Why spread lies in public?
To think the star went supernova at least 21 million years ago, we're really lucky to be alive at the exact time the light from it arrived here to witness it.
Oh, another thing I live in downtown Tampa bortle nine and I can confirm that I can see M101’s supernova at the eyepiece with only a 114mm Newtonian.
With a go to mount and an Astro Camera as soon as you center of the galaxy the brightest point of light, you’ll see near the center of your screen will be the supernova event. It’s even slightly brighter than the central region of the galaxy. Every night since the 19th it’s gotten brighter.
I have a 200mm newtonian so I also should be able to see it right ?? . . well . . the next two week's nights will be dominated by the moon . . . so I'll have to wait for a while before I can try observing this
If it's brighter than the center, then it must be pretty massive. Could it be the result of the collision of two black holes?
@@christopherwellman2364 that makes gravitational wawes , and besides it's right next to a Giant Star Forming Nebula . with probably dosens of very massive stars
@@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132 how does a supernova create nebulae that are hundreds of light years across and millions of stars are born? Doesn't add up.
@@christopherwellman2364 you got it backwards . . the nebula makes a lot stars of various sizes from small to massive and than those massive stars go supernova
I was observing M101 with an 18” dob on May 19th at around 11:30pm but didn’t realize there is supernova right next to one of the bright knot on the spiral are that comes with two of them until May 20th morning when my friend text messaged me that there is supernova in M101, and then I went back to my dark sky site with my 18” dob and confirmed the supernova in M101. Thin clouds rolled in from time to time and obscured the view of the pinwheel galaxy but they had no effect on the supernova at all, it indeed outshine the entire galaxy which is absolutely insane given how far away it is from earth.
Cool story. I was lucky enough to get to look through a 24" Dob once. The owner had motorized the base and it was tracking M13. Incredible experience. Those big light buckets are true windows to the universe.
A great observation. Thanks for mentioning - and confirming - what I’ve heard/read for these many decades.
the astonishing distances of our universe continues to boggle my mind: that this happened 21 million LIGHT YEARS AGO! And that this is the second CLOSEST supernova observed in the last 10 years.
overlay this with the expectation that supernovas are likely to be happening so frequently throughout the universe, at all time scales.
so I guess when you consider what we "perceive" as some special unique and "rare" phenomenon, is really only a false impression: the ONLY factors that make these events rare is that the universe is so incredibly large couple with our limits to observe even a small fraction of it at any one time.
for all we KNOW, there are millions of supernovas happening right now...from distances so great, we have no means to observe them.
I still blows my mind when I try to wrap my head around how enormous the universe is.
I am not sure there are useful adjectives to describe the emotion that draws over me from this awareness...
maybe we should create a special term for that emotion..a new word. something that fits correctly that no other experience does.
It's probably a universal feeling, bro. Ifinitism, maybe??
@@danielvermeer3363 I think it should be a new word...a brand new invented word. something that signifies an emotional experience specific to the subject of the vastness of the universe. the emotion that develops when contemplating this very unique experience. infinitism is pretty good, but that is a parsed common term. We need something new.
I am reminded by the name of my parish. We write it "calcasieu". But really this word is an adaptation of a very old indigenous native first people expression (not a written word), that a human being would say outloud to describe the sound that an eagle makes when in hunting mode "screaming eagle". The word we write today to describe that voices oral rendition of the natural sound of a hunting eagle, is not even close to what a screaming eagle sounds like.
So what I am suggesting is a word that describes the feeling..the emotion that sweeps over a person when they experience the concept of the vastness of the universe for the first time ...which seems to be persistent in my experience. Each time I focus on the subject matter..as this video article produced by Anton does for me, I have the same experience of emotion. It is unlike the feeling of being in a desert..or well beyond landfall in the ocean...it is a very special and unique feeling. I have this intuition I am not the only human being who has felt this special kind of emotion. And thus, I propose we develop a new term....something new that can be used to communicate specifically that emotion. I have no doubts through the arc of human life, as our ancestors looked up to the stars this is not a new novel emotion. But our definitions and formal terms have never properly developed a special term to describe the emotion of the experience.
I think it deserves something very special..because it is special.
I will be thinking about this more over the next several days to consider it and ponder what kind terms would "sound correctly"...drawing from the experience of "calcasieu" as a useful guide to avoid confusion so as not to lose original meaning and context.
God bless this guy. He has taught me so much. He even provided a road map to look for the bright event. Anton, you are truely a wonderful person.
Wonderful person, wonderful info
Awesome, haven't got out with my astrophotography equipment for a while. A real good excuse to get out there. I've photographed this one before so it'll be cool to blink back and forth between the images.!!
Thanks again Anton, wonderful person.
0:35 - David LaPoint's bowl-shaped magnetic fields on display in this awesome picture.
Take a look at The Primer Fields videos. They're incomplete, sadly. Much like most of Physics itself. :P
Oh man! I just imaged the pinwheel like 4 weeks ago. Now the summer is here and there is no more astro dark, so I can't see for my self.
I don't remember why, but for some reason I knew there was a chance to find supernovae in M101. Maybe you did a video about it.
I looked through the image I took, comparing it to an older image. I especially focused on those areas, because they appeared extremely bright compared to the rest of the galaxy. Naturally I didn't find anything.
Imagine my reaction when when I hear there is now a supernova visible right in one of the spots I was looking at.
I've been doing this for just over a year. The universe sure is dynamic. It's existing!
Not see anything else as bright for ten years or more? But what about YOU? We see you every time you put out a new video and you're one of the very brightest stars on RUclips! ;-)
Just spent last night imaging M101 to see SN 2023ixf from deepest darkest Mid Wales (Bortle 3) and I can confirm that it looks amazing.!!!
Damnit, really bad timing. Denmark just left astro-darkness... Its now too bright, and i wont be able to photograph it! :(
Fair few new Kepler exoplanets have been discovered too, some in new systems altogether and some discovered in already existing systems. Doesn't look like any habitable zone ones though
The one pic with the red ring is beautiful. Put that on a shirt and I’ll buy it!
Thanks for the update Anton.
Exciting information,thanks 😊
‘Binocular Guy’ at 2:29 is awesome.
Been months since last saw one of your videos😢
Amazing video and super interesting can’t wait to take a look my self.
Looking to catch up on what I have missed
Iys strange seeing something that happened millions of light years ago . We can't really tell whats going on at the same moment . We can only see into the past.
Navigation at speeds faster than light would require the ability to either see obstacles before you reach them or the ability to avoid them or deflect them . The flight system would need the ability to stop instantly and or go around a large obstacles such as an asteroid. Small parties would be deflected without having to change course.
A force field would be helpful 😉
Safe FTL travel would require the skills of a Guild navigator. Their services don't come cheaply.
Lightyears are a distance. 22 million Lightyears away means it takes 22 million years for the light of that object to get to us.
I used an £80 celestron 80mm travel scope, a canon 800d and skywatcher star adventurer both bough from ebay and managed to capture the SN2003ixf last night from Edinburgh. Even with this cheap gear, the SN is so bright, it's easy to photograph. Fingers crossed betelgeuse goes next.
Anton is the Supernova of RUclips
No, he's a red dwarf: a cool star who's gonna be around for billions and billions of years 😎
Thanks Anton. Cool stuff every day.
*Outer Wilds theme intesifies more*
Trevor from AstroBackyard was randomly imaging this galaxy at a star party in Texas when the news came through - he had photos of the supernova before even knowing about it…
your one of the few space channels I love
Hello Mr Wonderful
21 million years ago and were seeing it now , space is big .
No, it isn't. It's huuuuuuuuuuuge¹⁰⁰⁰
daily edumacation from mr science man 10/10
The picture of the dude with the binoculars killed me 😂😂
Alas people living south of the equator cannot see this one.
Imaging this right now from my front lawn. The supernova is brighter than the galaxy. I imaged this galaxy last year too so will have a before and after picture if all goes well… (bucket list image)
it’s fun, I’ve had telescopes for 30 years but only been imaging for 4. (Through the “wtf did I do wrong?” factor is high in this hobby!)
Thank you for making feel wonderful, I really needed it today.
Thank you, Anton
When I was a tyke I had a pinwheel mounted on my handlebars. Plus cards in my spokes. I was "hot potatoes!"
Anton you are a true 💎!@
So cool!
Light pollution is becoming a problem even in the countryside, I doubt I'll be able to see that
Anton, you’re a legend. Love this channel!
I love your new phrase for amateur astronomers; "independent astronomers".
Good reporting and thanks for the news update sir. H II regions are doubly ionized hydrogen. Always active and interesting places to look at.
H cannot be doubly ionised. It only has one electron! So, you have neutral H which is termed H I, and you have H+, which is H II.
Sir. Thanks. So. It exploded 21 million years ago, give or take a few million depending on “how far into the past the telescope can see”? I think I was still random unconsolidated subatomic particles.
Having been identified by an independent astronomer, I assume there will be a great deal of interest from those researching how and why specific supernova remnants occur.
It's easy to imagine a bang and a flash in space somewhere, not so easy to imagine a whole star system blasted away and neighbouring systems receiving extraordinary sudden radiation during the next few years, decades or centuries and unexpected meteorites hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years following.😱
Yes... Type 1A supernovae are bad enough if you're too close and the type 2 are even more powerful. Their output over the entire EM spectrum (bolometric luminosity) is incredible, to put it mildly. Superlatives fail at adequately describing the extreme violence of these events. Their debris clouds have, with some examples in the past, exhibited expansion velocities exceeding 30,000 km/sec... If you were in a starship near to one of these when it went off you would want to get very far away very quickly. 'Punch it Sulu!!!'
@@stargazer5784 I assumed the the ejecta from such an explosion would, unimpeded by other obstructions, be showing up billions of kilometers hence still travelling at a very destructive velocity. When we are considering potential colliders with earth, it is not recent supernovae we should look out for but those which happened millions of years ago, whose fragments are still blasting their way across intergalactic space..
An average supernova goes off with an energy of roughly 10^28 megatons of TNT. For comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was around 15 kilotons and the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated - the Soviet Tsar Bomba - was around 50 megatons. A supernova viewed from the distance between the Earth and the Sun would be around 1,000,000,000 times brighter than a hydrogen bomb pressed against your eyeball. You'd need to be around half a light year away for the brightness to be only the equivalent of a nuke at point-blank range.
Oh, I'm gonna have to dig out the little old telescope for this one! Sweet! Thanks, Anton, for all you do! You are THE Wonderful Person, man! So I'm leaving this well-deserved like and comment for the care and feeding of the ever-voracious Almighty Algorithm, in hopes it sees fit to bring the joy of this channel to many others!
❤❤❣️
Everybody asks when Betelgeuse will go supernova?
But nobody asked when M101 (NGC 5457) SN 2023ixf will go supernova 😢
*Awesome*
The brightest supernova of the decade, *so far*.
been waiting on this one
a star "appeared" 😂
The progenitor star of SN 1987A was about 20 million years old. Assuming the same for the new supernova, the star was born roughly 25 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. That's actually quite recently, I can almost remember reading about it in the news.
Hello wonderful people ❤
Thank you Anton. Informative as ever.
I saw a star last night flashing red and green for a few hours, didn't move an inch so not a helicopter, satellite or plane, was it this? P.s I'm in Australia and it was about 8 at night
Suggest you get a star chart and learn a few constellations. The southern night sky has so many things we can never see from Europe or the USA.
Hint: it was probably just a bright star. Stars flash and can appear to change colour whereas planets tend to look more stable.
Stars become especially colorful when near the horizon due to atmospheric refraction.
Could be another galaxy bro.
@@danielvermeer3363 - No it couldn’t. Can’t see colours in any of the galaxies with the naked eye, they’re just grey fuzzballs.
I sense a disturbance in the force!...I wonder if the Death Star had a hand in it?
Science information overload is flowing nicely
Hey are there any updates on how long it will last I just ordered some upgrades for my telescope so can see it plus it’s been very cloudy at night in my area
The star didn't 'just' explode. It in fact exploded before primates existed on the Earth, some 21million years ago or so.
It just took that long to get here.
Timespace and light speed is very deceptive. We can look up and see light, and many, even among scientists can (for a moment) forget that light is 'here' but is very old. Often times so old most of the dinosaurs didn't even exist yet when the light left the star that created it.
Wonderful as always anton. Thank you. 🙂
Pigmented Pixel or digital reflective display technology can do this except go outside of the display edge.
So, 21 million years ago some star might have just destroyed (a) nearby planet(s) harboring life, and we'll never know if that scenario occured. We are forevered locked into a tiny nook in the universe and cut off from all but a distant large-scale glimpse of the receding past.
Yesterday (time this vid was made) I saw a white shine at night, it was there but then it started moving, i thought it was a supernova before it was moving, either a shooting star, supernova or a helicopter
I got a picture of something weird back on April 24, 2023 while trying to get pics of the Northern Lights from central IL. Roundish and purple. Makes me wonder what it was even more so now! 🤔 After enlarging pic it looks a lot like what NASA's IXPE telescope captured at some point awhile ago. Really weird whatever it was!
I want to see one close up. Come on, Betelguese!
That still ain't close, though 😢
@@danielvermeer3363 It's close enough. I want to be a spectator, not a participant.
if you die you can go spectator mode
Supernova of the decade so far. There's another one coming that will completely obscure this one
I know its cool that we can see it with a telescope and all, but I just want to see one with my naked eyes, just once in my lifetime.
I mean, come one universe is it really so much to ask, that you blow up a star-system for my amusement? :D
I had to laugh a little at those words: "I just saw a starburst"...
According to our era, this actually happened > 3 million LIGHT YEARS ago! It's terrible how huge our universe is and our time calendar is a very relative thing, too...
Thanks Anton, it's always a pleasure to listen to your talks!
What was the last supernova we could see brighten? I keep seeing it happened a decade ago but can't find any info about which one it was.
A star just exploded 21 million light years away. Amazing.
whould have been amazing to get the explosion on video to see how it looks in the first few seconds
Are we able to pinpoint the progenitor from previous images?
Someone caught this on their cell phone lol
Isn't there supposed to be a nova this year sometime in our galaxy?
There's no way of knowing when or where one may occur.
2:30 really lol did you smoke when you were editing lololololol
M33 is below the horizon for most of the night though :/
How can I see anything in the sky when Canada is on fire? All we get here in CT are smokey skies.
The trees are having their own supernovae
Betelgeuse: Hold my Beer.
1:15
If it's H2, wouldn't those be regions high in "diatomic hydrogen"?
Just exploded in Pinwheel galaxy? Nah. Pretty sure it happened a while back. Lol.
❤❤❤
Well , if there were any planets with life we shall never know.
"Just exploded"
21 million years ago :-)
Hard to wrap your head around numbers like that
Where I come from we are already mining helium-3 from the Moon .
News just out, super nova just happened. 21 mil years ago. Will try next time to give news sooner got a flat tire took AAA extended time to fix.
👍👍
❤️👍
And now it´s up to you Beitegeuze ;-)
Any report from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory?
are they going to point something more powerful at this supernova soon?
@Hewhoremains a drone maybe?
@Hewhoremains a professional telescope, to get the fine details that commercial equipment can't get
I live in Los Angeles CA USA. It's been unusually cloudy for the past 2 months. I haven't been able to do any astrophotography. The forecast shows more overcast for the next few weeks. I'm going to miss this one. 🙁
Why don’t you take the time to travel on your days off to a better location?! I live in El Segundo right by LAX, but me and some buddies on our days off, went out to Mojave to see it with some nice equipment. If you want to see it that bad, it won’t take much effort to see it dude! Hope you have some luck.
Head over to Hawaii, bro.
@@danielvermeer3363 @TypeZero I can only do it from home. I watch over my sick elderly father.
@@ruiner101 Oh I see now....sorry to hear that. Hope he gets better soon, or in good enough shape to take him with you on a trip to view it. Never know when another Supernova might appear.
Exploded 21 Million years ago...
I would propose to stop using the 'amateur' label when it comes to astronomers, but also physicists, scientists etc. They aren't associated with an official institution, so they are independent but often they aren't really amateurs in terms of sophistication and/or domain knowledge. They are more like 'freelancers' than true amateurs.
In fact they are as professional as one can get without access to big funds available to astronomers employed by institutions.
'Freelance astronomers' or even better 'independent astronomers', please ;)
Update: I see Anton is way ahead and already using the term, awesome!
