    Galaxies-like our own Milky Way-are among the basic building blocks of our universe. Discovered only one hundred years ago, galaxies are complex systems consisting of billions of stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter. They occupy much of what we see when we gaze at the night sky through our telescopes.
    Astronomers learn about galaxies using both telescope observations and sophisticated computer simulations. These numerical investigations are crucial in helping us better understand how galaxies form and evolve since the birth of our universe.

    Better thumbnails would help these stand out in the feed. I feel like I miss them all the time

      So you go by what you see & not by reading the title. Never judge a book by it's cover.

      @@mickyfen2 it was a suggestion.. do you need help for reading ?

      The thumbnail contains the title and the speaker. Two most important pieces of information when I pick which lectures to watch. I subscribe to plenty of science channels and I think this one is quite good at thumbnails and titles. The worst is CfA Colloquium. They name their lectures something like “CfA Colloquium Live Steam” every time.

    re 1:14:00 They start discussing the 'voids', and I find it easiest to visualize this structure of filaments & clusters, rather as a slowly condensing foam like on your bath or dish water, where you have several big bubbles, and still some visible fluid lines & clusters of tiny bubbles at the film intersections of 2 or more big bubbles. The recent Hubble limit mapping shows it quite clearly if you have a rotatable 3D model.
    re 1:24:15 Shock heat of galactic collisions, is almost entirely gravitational. Since there is negligible actual body contact, and so called 'dark matter' is the main generator of that 'heat', and the perturbation of the trajectories of every visible body in the collision.

    Really great ,very well put and explained and in matter that normal minds can benefit from it :)

    So the milky way is a blueberry and our universe is a big blueberry cake 🧁 But you know what happens to a cake when it has reached it's maximum expansion? Someone is going to eat it 😋

    6-10 Gyears to form a spiral galaxy according to the old models from '22. The 300 million year old JADES-GS-z14-0 is certainly young in comparison.

    Too much Hubble worship without mentioning others who contributed to the concepts he gets all the credit for.

    Don’t the Pillars fly in the face of the Big Bang theory?
    Why can’t the expansion of space be the result of momentum?
