@@TobiasDB No, it isn't. The quote states that the projected real size of the universe is comparable to thinking that our observable universe is a lightbulb in the center of the planet of pluto and everything outside the lightbulb is the rest of the unobservable universe. Having it be on Pluto makes zero fucking sense. Ya'll can go back and rewatch the video if you want, but all you'll find is confirmation I was right.
"What's Ceres?" Ceres is/was the biggest asteroid in the solar system; after the international community reclassified the definition of several celestial bodies (when they decided to open the category of "dwarf planet" and "downgrade" Pluto there), Ceres and other dozen massive asteroids were reclassified there. When this video was done, Ceres was still the biggest asteroid and a common reference about the size of things in our cosmic neighborhood. "Probes sent to Venus" Yep, you might reffer to the Venera the first (russian) space program; that tried to research Venus. Since the probes were sent to first discover the conditions on the planet, they weren't designed to what they found: a planet suffering of a super greenhouse effect due to a lot of volcanic activity; temperatures in the athmosphere are some of the most extreme in the solar system and the probe could only transmit for some moments before being fried. "Neptune is a beautiful looking planet" Indeed. In the matter of records, Neptune holds the strongest winds in the Solar System: on average they have been calculated around 1126 km/h, and maximum limits of 1931 km/h. Oh! And it's suspected that in this unstable planet you'd something like a rain of diamonds; the models consider that the chemicals that form Neptune (a gas planet) at some depth can break releasing enough carbon molecules, that would turn into diamonds due to the same presure :P. Then, as they get deeper to areas with more pressure and temperature, they'd be vaporized, float back up in the insides of the planet, cool down, form the original chemicals again and sink (once again) to start the whole diamond creation/destruction process again. "Proxima Centauri" Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun. Only in the category of "stars", not to be confused with "the closest exoplanet" or "the closest galaxy" to us. "Why stars are fo different colors and the sun is yellow?" Fun fact: the sun isn't yellow; in general it's white(ish). We have colored our sun yellow for generation because our atmosphere filters and refracts most of the light the sun produces except the red/orange/yellow tones; but if we saw it outside of earth, it wouldn't have any tonality. Stars do have an associated color, though, depending on their age, and it's kind of an indication of how the fusion processes inside them are going. In short, young "hot" stars have a color that goes from blue to white, teen "warm" stars go from white to orange (in this classification, our sun is between a white and yellow star, right somewhere along the middle of its life expectancy) and old "cold" stars go from orange to red (and are some of the most massive objects in the universe). As stars get older and run out of their natural fuel, they grow in size and change their color. "How different nebulas form?" Well, such beautiful and massive objects are a balance between disaster and gravity. Some nebulas formed after the death of stars (basically, when massive stars explode); the shape they form will only depend on the force of the blast, and the gravity that keeps the remanining elements togheter. And from those nebulas, elements mix to give birth to new stars and planets, starting thar process all over again. "What's Omega Centauri?" That's a globular cluster; for centuries thought to be a star, due to its brightness (in dark places, it's visible to the naked eye). But in reality, it's a stacked collection of 10 million stars orbiting around one point, not just one massive star. It's been proposed this cluster is what remains of a dwarf galaxy that collided and was swallowed by our galaxy: the Milky Way.
The more massive the star the faster it burns fuel because it has more gravitational pressure and thus fusing elements faster. Some of the earliest stars in the universe were very short lived because they were so massive that they just burned through fuel like crazy and died with extreme amounts of passion and thus created some way crazier stuff outside of helium. It’s pretty cool.
The temperature is proportional to the color and brightness. The hotter the star, the more it shifts to higher frequencies of light like white and blue, and the brighter it gets.
6:00 Being formed from a supernova is definitely a good educated guess and is indeed how some nebulae were formed, but there are of course different methods of formation other than this. For this particular Helix Nebula it is a planetary nebula which are formed from stars of 0.8 to 8 solar masses shedding most of their outer layers after expansion near the end of their life, and eventually reaches a point where its outer temperature is high enough to ionize the expelled gases with ultraviolet photons causing the glow of the nebula.
The void has about 60 galaxies in it. Thats like finding only 60 I-phones in the entirety of the USA, meaning no trees, grass, mountains, pebles, cars, people, homes. Absolutely nothing except for 60 iphones.
2 things that I think no one mentioned: Proxima B is the closest exoplanet. As far as I know, we haven't named planets outside of our solar system, so we name them "star+alphabet letter" starting with the B (the star would be considered the "A" component of the system). For instance, on Proxima Centauri we know Proxima B and Proxima C, althoug C is too far and not really to much interest on it. But that's probably your cofusion, specially since Proxima Centauri it's actually called "Alpha Centauri C", because it's a part of a 3-star system that also has an A and B. About stars, after this video we discovered a bigger star than UY Scuti called Stehpenson 2-18. If both were put in place of the sun, UY Scuti would engulf all planets and go a bit past Jupiter, while Stephenson would go all the way past Saturn.
Proxima b (planets always have lowercase letters) is not named, but many other exoplanets are: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proper_names_of_exoplanets

UY Scuti is such a massive star but to put it in perspective on how big. UY Scuti is about 750 million miles or almost eight astronomical units. If the star were placed at the center of our solar system, it would extend far beyond the orbit of Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Saturn. It is absolutely nuts to think a star could be that freaking huge! You are correct the bigger the star is the quicker it burns through its fuel and the quicker it goes Nova like we are still waiting for Betelgeuse to go Nova. It literally can happen any day now

1:37 There were multiple probes sent to venus and they (after venera 7 who lasted 29 minutes only in freefall due to the immense storms and sulfuric acid rain) died in i think it was around the 50 to 60 minute marker (venera 9), they were russian probes and they were made specifically to be as sturdy as possible, they also took pictures of the service and captured multiple sound samples. The only reason they died so fast was due to the heavy storms of venus and the temperature being extremely high (it is extremely hot (820 degrees to nearly 900 degrees F or around 475 degrees Celsius being hot enough to melt lead), the air pressure is extremely high, there are very strong winds, sulfuric acid rain (at higher altitudes) and lightning storms driven by volcanic eruptions). Also funfact venera means venus in russian.
To me the amazing part is when they switch to light years. Our closet star is Alpha Centari. And yes some nebula are formed by supernovas. Just imagine if alpha exploded, it's only 4 light years away. Pretty damn close
The colour of stars depends on the surface temperature (and the star's movement speed in comparison to us (because of lightwave speed compression, or whatever it is called)).
7:57 That's just a picture of the microwave background! From when the universe turned from opaque to transparent, gamma radiation was released. Over the eons, due to the expansion of the universe it has been redshifted into the microwave spectrum, it now corresponds to thermal radiation of an object that is 2,7 K hot. (or rather, cold)
Vega is an F-type star, it is white because it has a higher temperature and luminosity than our sun, it even burns faster, so it has a shorter lifespan.
I’m assuming you only know mid secondary school level physics so about the different colours of stars, different temperatures emit different wavelengths of light, you can look up the exact temperature to wavelength ratio but basically the hotter the star is the brighter it is and what colour it is, it roughly goes, black, red, orange, yellow, white, blue ( our sun is a yellow dwarf star with a surface temperature of 5500 degrees celcius, Rigel is a blue giant star with a surface temperature of 30,000 degrees celcius
defenitely something I need to refresh my memory upon - iirc these are the steps when suns are dying - first they turn into a red giant and then shrink into a white dwarf - but it is at least a decade ago now that I learned that once - have to find my old books again ;/ mfg Olli
Our sun is white but out atmosphere makes it look yellow and the white ones are observed white through our atmosphere as they pass through without abstraction

8:06 the universe doesn’t actually expand, it’s more like the “universe” is already infinite, but all the galaxies inside it are moving outwards and away from each other 👍 Eventually if humans survive long enough, people will grow up without knowing what a star is
Answering the question about why the stars have different colors, if I remember correctly, its very dependent on the temperature they burn at, the cooler stars are towards the color red, and the hottest are blue
I dated a girl who thought all cars ahead of you on the highway must be going faster than you, otherwise they'd be behind you. She also once asked how the wind can blow all day from one direction, and yet there's still air over there.
Actually, every star is white. The problem is that our eyes see it yellow because the atmosphere is changing the colors. That’s why the sky is blue and not black.
In terms of star size you have dwarf stars, giant stars, supergiant stars and hyper giant stars. And then you have the phases, where you have, giant, supergiant and hyper giant sizes ontop of the predetermined class
the portion of the universe that we can currently observe, is estimated to have a radius of about 46.6 billion light-years. This measurement takes into account the expansion of space over time.
Our Sun light is actually white (you can see that in pictures taken in Space), the Earth's Atmosphere filters out the blue hues, so we see it more yellow-is. At Sundawn/Dusk Sunlight has to go through more Atmosphere to reach your eyes, and even more blue is filtered out, hence it turns dark yellow, orange and red.
The giant white bright stars are also main secret stars but they are of a different spectral type for, instance, Sirius A star is an A0 or an A1 spectral type whereas Vega star is an A0V spectral type the different shades and colors of the stars just simply means that particular star is in a different stage of its life. Another example would be our sun. In about 5 billion years, the Sun is due to turn into a red giant. The core of the star will shrink, but its outer layers will expand out to the orbit of Mars, engulfing our planet in the process. If it's even still there.
The color of a star depends on its temperature, if the star is yellow, then its temperature is most likely 500 degrees. and if white, then most likely tens of thousands of degrees
There can be stars of all different colors. The sun is actually white. It's just the ozone layer messing with your eyes and the extreme amounts of light, but stars can be all different types. The color can depend on how big it is or what kind is.
A, B, C etc are denominations for planets. The size of the black holes should worry you, because a star has a TINY FRACTION of the mass of a same-size black hole. These things rip holes into space-time, literally. There is a legitimate universe simulation tool where you can visualize so many amazing things from our universe. It's called *Space Engine.*
Just some stuff: The first planet named ceres is pronounced seiries, our sun is yellow hence the name yellow dwarf yet the light emitted is actually white, the white stars are named white giants because of their size, and the red stars like betelgeuse are named red giants, red super giants, and variable stars.
Star color and brightness is determined by temperature (Kelvin) and by its luminosity (Solar Units). I took astronomy at university last year and I actually think whether or not this universe ends or not is irrelevant because on the other side of black holes are white holes from which new universes spawn and in that way, it is eternal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole#Big_Bang/Supermassive_White_Hole
'Why are some of the stars white?' The Sun is actually white too, it just looks yellow/orange/red to us, because its light passes through our atmosphere. But it is actually emitting pure bright white light.
I think the more heat a star radiates the more it moves into the Blue Spectrum while passing through the Colors Red, Green and Blue (mostly all three at the same time) which would cause the stars to appear white, because all three "main colors" of the light Spectrum create combined white light
Ceres is one of the many dwarf planets in our solar system. It´s main call for fame is being larger than Pluto. One of the main reasons why we don´t call Pluto a plaet anymore as we would need to call Ceres a planet too, as we would need for a few others that are as large or nearly as large as pluto too.
When a star is blue, its because about the heat. There is an scale, where you can see, which temputere, shows which colors. And nice video! Really cool reaction! I love the universe bymself and its always amazing, when they discover new things in it! Like, unbelivable things :)
The expanding Universe was a explenation back then, because we cant explain why almost every Galaxy is moving away in such a high speed, expansion also explains why certain objects move with lightspeed wich is not possible otherwise. There is also a black hole called, the great attarctor, its quite big and seems to affect a lot of galaxys.
Sirius A is also known as the "Dog Star" it's also twice the size of our sun, and it's natural color is blueish-white, it's an A-type Star and it's only 8.6 light-years aways.
Proxima Centauri is a star in the Alpha Centauri star system (its Alpha Centauri C) and has three known exoplanets, Proxima Centauri b,c and d. B is the only one that is within the habitable zone (it's also earth-sized, has earth like mass, is likely tidally locked), as c is way too far out and d far to close to its star, thereby being each too cold and too hot. Alpha Centauri A is rumored to have a habitable planet, however that has yet to be confirmed, and Alpha Centauri B allegedly has one, it was "found" in 2012, but it was agreed that it most likely doesn't exist, so yeah, you're right, it was indeed Proxima Centauri that has a habitable planet.
As a star's temperature increases, as a result of there being more gas in the star - and hence more fuel to burn - it becomes hotter. Its colour changes from orange, through yellow, to white. The hottest stars are blue, with temperatures up to 40,000ºC.
Different Solar mechanisms burn different kinds of fuel. The brighter the shade, the more of that fuel it burns. Not all Solar bodies burn hydrogen. Some burn helium, etc. The larger the solar body, the quicker it burns through the fuel. What’s really interesting are Magnetars. Instead of the natural occurring neutron body being formed, they became excessively magnetic.
There's 3 theory (at least that I know of) about how our universe might end up : the Big Crunch, the Big Rip and the Big Freeze. The Big Crunch is the one about how the universe will one day suddenly collapse on itself, like a reverse Big Bang. Though, like you said, it is becoming less and less believed given the observations made about how the universe is constantly expanding faster. The Big Rip is the one where the expansion of the universe will reach a point where everything within it will be ripped apart on an atomic level because the forces at play are simply stretched thin. The Big Freeze is about how the universe will one day run out of heat and thus, everything will freeze in it which is what, I think, is currently believed is happening. Either way, it's gonna suck for those who are alive when it happens : either you suddenly get compressed back into an uniform mass with everything else in a moment or you end up being ripped apart on a scale that means you'd die in utter confusion of what's happening or you'd survive a slow, long process through which you end up freezing gradually until there's no heat left for motion and everything becomes a standstill. At least the Big Crunch would mean another universe would be born of it... the other two, not so much.
The reason why stars can be different colors is because of the temperature, the hotter the star the more blue it is and a cooler star will appear more red
I was so close to going to Hawaii, but I moved out before my mum had a Zonta convention there. But I studied in Australia to be a techer and enjoy life. If you plan to drive across Australia make sure that you drive the right way... It depends on if you are a morning person or an afternoon person.....
A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form.
Also, no, just because the star is big does not mean it's at the end of its life. Different stars have different lifetime expectancy. Is some big stars like you are scooby are actually just babies and way way younger than the sun.
If the universe (not just the observable universe) will expand forever, where does the area it expands into come from? Great, now I will never sleep again; I will be thinking about this.
Just a quick post from my previous comment. I have an Video for you its called "Timelapse of the future" by melodysheep. Like the Name says it's about the future or in this matter about the future of our universe. It's pretty long with nearly 30min, but it's totaly worth the watch. It's full of Interviews and so much input, its fantastic to watch. His channel is full of like Space and Fantasy stuff.
Approximate light year calculation: Speed of light =186,000 miles per second. Seconds in a year = 31,536,000 186000 x 31536000 = 5,865,696,000,000 miles = approximately one light year.
ok so voids are not spaces where there is absolutely nothing. The contain galaxies as well. But the density of galaxies is very low. Basically if you zoom out enough, you can see the universe organize into strands of galaxy clusters called the cosmic web. Voids are the 'empty' spaces between. But it is not empty. it's just... emptier.
Venus is hot, acidic and volcanic it rains sulphuric acid and is around 475 degrees Celsius on average. Venus is essentially a what the biblical heel would potentially be like.

Answering the question about why the stars have different colors, if I remember correctly, its very dependent on the temperature they burn at, the cooler stars are towards the color red, and the hottest are blue
I dated a girl who thought all cars ahead of you on the highway must be going faster than you, otherwise they'd be behind you. She also once asked how the wind can blow all day from one direction, and yet there's still air over there.

If you're going 80MPH how long will it take you to go 80 miles?
@@stinkbug4321 Uh... Is that regular hours, or happy hours? And... If it's dog hours, wouldn't there be seven for every human hour?
Actually, every star is white. The problem is that our eyes see it yellow because the atmosphere is changing the colors. That’s why the sky is blue and not black.
Higher temperature changes colours from Yellow>Orange>white>blue
In terms of star size you have dwarf stars, giant stars, supergiant stars and hyper giant stars. And then you have the phases, where you have, giant, supergiant and hyper giant sizes ontop of the predetermined class
Apparently Betelgeuse is near the end of it's life, and we would be able to see it go supernova.
The sun is actually glowing white when you go to space
6:09 nebula is a place in the universe that stars are born in
the portion of the universe that we can currently observe, is estimated to have a radius of about 46.6 billion light-years. This measurement takes into account the expansion of space over time.
a nebula forms when a ⭐️ goes supernova
Yes, larger stars are more massive meaning the cores are compressed more resulting in faster burning.
2:30 it’s theorised that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs had a gravitational assist from Jupiter
The more hotter the more brighter and the more it changes the colour of the wavelength
Our Sun light is actually white (you can see that in pictures taken in Space), the Earth's Atmosphere filters out the blue hues, so we see it more yellow-is.
At Sundawn/Dusk Sunlight has to go through more Atmosphere to reach your eyes, and even more blue is filtered out, hence it turns dark yellow, orange and red.
3:42 actually the sun is also white, it's just human history gave the sun a yellow/orange color.
The giant white bright stars are also main secret stars but they are of a different spectral type for, instance, Sirius A star is an A0 or an A1 spectral type whereas Vega star is an A0V spectral type the different shades and colors of the stars just simply means that particular star is in a different stage of its life. Another example would be our sun. In about 5 billion years, the Sun is due to turn into a red giant. The core of the star will shrink, but its outer layers will expand out to the orbit of Mars, engulfing our planet in the process. If it's even still there.
I study Astronomy, the Omega Centauri that you saw is the largest globular cluster (a group of stars) that we have found in our Milky Way.
I am surprised that the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall was not on that list that thing is massive and defies known thinking of structure
The color of a star depends on its temperature, if the star is yellow, then its temperature is most likely 500 degrees. and if white, then most likely tens of thousands of degrees
There can be stars of all different colors. The sun is actually white. It's just the ozone layer messing with your eyes and the extreme amounts of light, but stars can be all different types. The color can depend on how big it is or what kind is.
A, B, C etc are denominations for planets.
The size of the black holes should worry you, because a star has a TINY FRACTION of the mass of a same-size black hole. These things rip holes into space-time, literally.
There is a legitimate universe simulation tool where you can visualize so many amazing things from our universe. It's called *Space Engine.*
Just some stuff: The first planet named ceres is pronounced seiries, our sun is yellow hence the name yellow dwarf yet the light emitted is actually white, the white stars are named white giants because of their size, and the red stars like betelgeuse are named red giants, red super giants, and variable stars.
Universe is scary but beautiful
Star color and brightness is determined by temperature (Kelvin) and by its luminosity (Solar Units).
I took astronomy at university last year and I actually think whether or not this universe ends or not is irrelevant because on the other side of black holes are white holes from which new universes spawn and in that way, it is eternal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole#Big_Bang/Supermassive_White_Hole
According to my knowledge stars doesn't burn fuel.
him; theres always a bigger fish. him again; theres the sun down below
'Why are some of the stars white?'
The Sun is actually white too, it just looks yellow/orange/red to us, because its light passes through our atmosphere. But it is actually emitting pure bright white light.
I think the more heat a star radiates the more it moves into the Blue Spectrum while passing through the Colors Red, Green and Blue (mostly all three at the same time) which would cause the stars to appear white, because all three "main colors" of the light Spectrum create combined white light
the bootes void is the largest void in the known universe but they are not entirely empty.
Ceres is one of the many dwarf planets in our solar system. It´s main call for fame is being larger than Pluto. One of the main reasons why we don´t call Pluto a plaet anymore as we would need to call Ceres a planet too, as we would need for a few others that are as large or nearly as large as pluto too.
When a star is blue, its because about the heat. There is an scale, where you can see, which temputere, shows which colors. And nice video! Really cool reaction! I love the universe bymself and its always amazing, when they discover new things in it! Like, unbelivable things :)
I mean, JWST just showed galaxies so old it breaks the theory of big bang. 😂
More Geography now ! Professor Michael
The expanding Universe was a explenation back then, because we cant explain why almost every Galaxy is moving away in such a high speed, expansion also explains why certain objects move with lightspeed wich is not possible otherwise.
There is also a black hole called, the great attarctor, its quite big and seems to affect a lot of galaxys.
Sirius A is also known as the "Dog Star" it's also twice the size of our sun, and it's natural color is blueish-white, it's an A-type Star and it's only 8.6 light-years aways.
do they have puppies because you said dog star
@@Itsyourlocalchipss No , that is just the nickname 😂😂
@@faharichesimet4344 oh lol
Proxima Centauri is a star in the Alpha Centauri star system (its Alpha Centauri C) and has three known exoplanets, Proxima Centauri b,c and d. B is the only one that is within the habitable zone (it's also earth-sized, has earth like mass, is likely tidally locked), as c is way too far out and d far to close to its star, thereby being each too cold and too hot. Alpha Centauri A is rumored to have a habitable planet, however that has yet to be confirmed, and Alpha Centauri B allegedly has one, it was "found" in 2012, but it was agreed that it most likely doesn't exist, so yeah, you're right, it was indeed Proxima Centauri that has a habitable planet.
Our star is actually white in colour, but it's accepted in society for it to be either yellow or orange in colour
Cool, Michael! Yes, the bigger stars burn out faster.
6:43 globular cluster, structure with stars merged and held together by gravity
As a star's temperature increases, as a result of there being more gas in the star - and hence more fuel to burn - it becomes hotter. Its colour changes from orange, through yellow, to white. The hottest stars are blue, with temperatures up to 40,000ºC.
When we were half a revolution backwards in the Milky way, dinosaurs were walking the earth.
Problem is that you quickly lose your sense of scale because there is no reference material or background
Different Solar mechanisms burn different kinds of fuel. The brighter the shade, the more of that fuel it burns. Not all Solar bodies burn hydrogen. Some burn helium, etc. The larger the solar body, the quicker it burns through the fuel. What’s really interesting are Magnetars. Instead of the natural occurring neutron body being formed, they became excessively magnetic.
Studies show we would be more protected if the big boi Jupiter wasn't there
There's 3 theory (at least that I know of) about how our universe might end up : the Big Crunch, the Big Rip and the Big Freeze.
The Big Crunch is the one about how the universe will one day suddenly collapse on itself, like a reverse Big Bang. Though, like you said, it is becoming less and less believed given the observations made about how the universe is constantly expanding faster.
The Big Rip is the one where the expansion of the universe will reach a point where everything within it will be ripped apart on an atomic level because the forces at play are simply stretched thin.
The Big Freeze is about how the universe will one day run out of heat and thus, everything will freeze in it which is what, I think, is currently believed is happening.
Either way, it's gonna suck for those who are alive when it happens : either you suddenly get compressed back into an uniform mass with everything else in a moment or you end up being ripped apart on a scale that means you'd die in utter confusion of what's happening or you'd survive a slow, long process through which you end up freezing gradually until there's no heat left for motion and everything becomes a standstill.
At least the Big Crunch would mean another universe would be born of it... the other two, not so much.
There is an updated one
"universe size comparison 2020"
The reason why stars can be different colors is because of the temperature, the hotter the star the more blue it is and a cooler star will appear more red
A Harry Evett video, Venus has crushing pressures, any space craft that lands...good for 10mn.
It's weird. Our sun is actually white. It's just sunset makes it yellow.
You should react to the universe size comparison in 3d it's got way more stuff in it
It was the heat, pressure, and temperature that the spacecraft couldn't handle on Venus
Cold Colors Stars Are Way Hotter Than Warm Stars And Cold Colors Are Older, So Cold Stars Are Older Than Warm Color Stars ✨
I was so close to going to Hawaii, but I moved out before my mum had a Zonta convention there. But I studied in Australia to be a techer and enjoy life. If you plan to drive across Australia make sure that you drive the right way... It depends on if you are a morning person or an afternoon person.....

@@tildarosander1339 ok lol 1st comment
Our Sun is actually white. Our atmosphere makes it look yellow.
A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form.
Also, no, just because the star is big does not mean it's at the end of its life. Different stars have different lifetime expectancy. Is some big stars like you are scooby are actually just babies and way way younger than the sun.
A white dwarf is when a star explodes
If the universe (not just the observable universe) will expand forever, where does the area it expands into come from? Great, now I will never sleep again; I will be thinking about this.
And our sun is actually rainbow, but we can only see orange, yellow and white because they are the strongest and other colors go on the other side
Just a quick post from my previous comment. I have an Video for you its called "Timelapse of the future" by melodysheep. Like the Name says it's about the future or in this matter about the future of our universe. It's pretty long with nearly 30min, but it's totaly worth the watch. It's full of Interviews and so much input, its fantastic to watch.
His channel is full of like Space and Fantasy stuff.
Approximate light year calculation:
Speed of light =186,000 miles per second.
Seconds in a year = 31,536,000
186000 x 31536000 = 5,865,696,000,000 miles = approximately one light year.
Ceres is one of the main dwarf planets as well as make-make, haumea, Eris, and Pluto
The size of the Moon is less than 1/4 the size of Europe.
ok so voids are not spaces where there is absolutely nothing.
The contain galaxies as well. But the density of galaxies is very low.
Basically if you zoom out enough, you can see the universe organize into strands of galaxy clusters called the cosmic web. Voids are the 'empty' spaces between. But it is not empty. it's just... emptier.
Venus is hot, acidic and volcanic it rains sulphuric acid and is around 475 degrees Celsius on average. Venus is essentially a what the biblical heel would potentially be like.
Well they say women are from venus, no wonder my exes were so toxic
The color of a Star in very short words means the temperature of its surface.
Red-Yellow means not very hot, White means extremely hot.
Ayyy so the universe keeps growing
5:57 dying star throws away her layers of gas making those beautiful structures (there are some made by supernova explosions, but they look like circle around white dwarf)
