Supernovae are the most powerful explosions in the universe, unleashing enough energy to outshine galaxies. We have no real metaphor for their power - if the sun were to magically go supernova it would feel like you were being hit by the energy of a nuclear explosion, every second. For weeks.
While supernovae are the engines of creation, forging the elements that enable life, they also burn sterile whole regions of galaxies. So what would happen if one hit earth?

Hey Kurzgesagt
The amount of times humanity could have not existed because of how the galaxy works genuinely blows my mind.
And how many times Humanity should of end shows how capable we are as well how we are fragile and could end quickly
The universe is a great and cruel world
@Curiosity the ice age and the last human episode and super volcano I was talking about
@@fismail4330 ''cruel'' is a human made conception. The universe is just the universe.
@@higorss Just because something is a human made conception doesnt mean it cant apply to things that arent human.
The Great Filter is probably the strongest reason we have yet to contact intelligent life. Anyone with the tech to reach out and give us a call, probably has the same tech to destroy all life on their planet, like we do. The improbability of our existence is quite large.
I love how varied the content on this channel is. One day it's, "Look at this cool ant," the next it's, "Boy wouldn't it be fun if we went extinct?"
And then a deep talk about depression.
@@LennoxParsec and then the fact you have a high chance of getting a auto immune disease in your life time
And who could forget about that giant star that probably never existed?
and also “lol imagine if you turned very small”

Your pfp scares me
@@DrowsyFellow good :)
You know you stand zero chance of being affected by a supernova - right?
That was the whole point of this video.
If it scares you, then you can't calculate/perceive risk correctly.
Should we call your profile picture Grerby or Kirg?
@@ChadtuvaQueen Either or is fine
I absolutely love how concepts from other videos were integrated into the vision of the future. The Dyson ring and solar engine were lovely touches.

One of the best things about this RUclips channel is that it gives science backed information which isn't normally accessible, breaks it down to a level where almost anyone can understand, constantly updates us with new research, and gives it to the public for free. Thank you for what you do, Kurzgesagt
E
SciShow has been doing this for years too though.
"One of the best things about this RUclips channel is that it gives science backed information" - quoted from you.
I would argue that is the most dangerous part of this channel. One mistake and it could become law, by accident, with no possible way of going back.
@@danielduncan6806 That's why they have a lot of different sources and they work with scientists and experts
Ikr, I can name atleast 20 channels that give you good scientific information!
The fact that even some life would survive a supernova 4 light years away is extremely impressive and shows how resilient life is
It's probably going to be cockroaches.

Thanks! 🎉
Great video on supernovae! Amazing that we were both working on the same topic at the same time. I hope everyone knows that these videos take months of lead time for both of us so there is no way one video was inspired by the other or vice versa.
We're familiar with Zeitgeist thanks
Endless notifications.. dear God what have I done
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I thought the information in this video was from a previous Kurgz video, but now I remember, the video was yours. Thank you!!
eh, what a timing. well complemented 👍
Tu eres el maestro longaniza
Yu also make a vedio on this topic
What's really fascinating is the fact that we found a layer of increased levels of radioactive iron in the archaeological record and we were able to eliminate any other possibility besides a supernova from 300 light years away.
well... there are alternatives ... but you don't want to think that a civilization advanced to the nuclear age and then killed itself. or a space civilization bombed this world for some unknow reason .
@@unknow11712 Wrong, I want to, but it wouldn't be very reasonable without further evidence :x
The only other possibility that was eliminated was a solar storm, based on the solar maximums, but it’s still possible that the sun did it, just extremely unlikely. Also other solar storms that we know of haven’t caused this effect, which means if a solar storm did do it, it was unbelievably massive.
Nothing in the solar system makes Iron-60. The sun isn't massive enough, and humans can't make it because it requires energy input from either direction, fission or fusion. Also amazing to think about, is the Iron-60 was made in the supernova...and traveled the 300 light years to earth, and arrived in enough quantity to be detectable. Also, any element heavier than Iron is only made in supernovas as well, because of the energy input required for Iron.
The reason they could figure that out is the particular _kind_ of radioactive iron that was found - iron-60. It's only produced by supernovae, and yet it's never found on Earth in mines and the like, as with its "mere" 2.6 mil years half-life, all of it would have decayed away (to cobalt-60) since the formation of the planet.
7:05 screenshot is legendary in terms of aesthetics! Very atmospheric, and an incredible illustration!
This would be horrible for the trout population
Well he's not wrong
Agreed.
I'm in love with the fact that they've been ending their recent videos on a relatively happy note to combat the existential dread they usually inspire.
Watch the one about...
I’m a bit unhappy that we will have to move out of the way just because a star goes supernova. We need to build a Dyson Sphere.
@@MarcosElMalo2 and to do that, we'll probably need space tethers!
@@MarcosElMalo2
Your great-grandchildren will die of old age at 160yo long before this is ever a consideration.
@@WhatIsSanity That’s not the point. The point is that supernovae can’t tell me what to do.
the fact that a few hundred light years away is enough to make the night glow is a real show of their power
Very bright but, ohio has been through worst
ok
Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 4:5

@@sambrads8728 That “bloke” sacrificed His life to save yours. Do you not see the battle between Good & Evil going on before your very eyes?
6:10 Wouldn’t the increased thunderstorms help regenerate the ozone layer? I read somewhere that lightning creates a significant amount of ozone. Unless I’m mistaken.
This needs to be pinned!
Absolutely, but it's no good if the conditions that destroyed the ozone layer continue to exist. Earth would become a nitrous oxide factory because the supernova radiation is still battering the upper atmosphere.
@@thehochmaster2 Will animals that can use nitrous oxide evolve? A mass extinction event was caused by oxygen in the atmosphere, and now, we need oxygen!
@@Anonymous-df8it maybe, but I think it's unlikely very many exist. Back then, oxygen-consuming life existed. It just couldn't proliferate until algae changed the earth's atmosphere. First we need to find a N2O consuming creature. That's hard too; that N-N molecular bond is strong as hell. Not a lot will convince 2 nitrogen atoms to split. NO2, that's a different story.
@@thehochmaster2 Why would it need to break it apart? I don't think we break up O2 into two oxygen atoms as humans can't actually use oxygen of that form (where they're individual atoms, not bound up)
Great video as always, love the animation of the stars. And the music going harder while going closer is a brilliant detail. It slaps!
Honestly, it's bloody impressive that life can shrug off a supernova even as close as that. Life finds a way.
*they didnt shrug it off
@@yeetusdeletus8254 bro animal life survived. Thats more complex life than the first 3 billion years of life on Earth. I mean as in life survived, not only survived but survived in very complex forms. Like apparently there'd still be insects, fish, crustaceans, plants, fungi, anything else deep in water or soil. Very complex organisms. Not just single celled organisms.
It is impressive how much life (even complex life) can shrug off without dying out entirely.
Of course the beginning of the universe is a theory, and not a scientific fact, that was failed to be mentioned here.
@@andrescavada563 how's that relevant at all to what I said, if ur referring to wether the big bang happened or not, maths doesn't lie.

Wow you make me feel young
I first discovered Kurzgesagt back in 2015 with their videos on nuclear energy. I remember thinking at the time, "Wow, this channel makes some great content. I hope they end up growing and getting more attention." Seven years later, my wish has most certainly been fulfilled.
For years I've evangelized this channel to my friends and coworkers as the gold standard of educational content, and I still get giddy when a new video comes out. I've purchased dozens of calendars, posters, and journals, and I will happily continue to support this amazing channel. Cheers, Kurzgesagt!
@@Custom_Tech_Solutions man im de-
@Joseph Carrino dude i got a burn right after reading this
I discovered this channel when my teacher gave a video from this channel for an assignment in 2020 and I've been watching Kurzgesagt ever since.

Great Job K-Team!!
the information kurzgesagt provides shouldn't be taken as facts anymore. look up "How Kurzgesagt Cooks Propaganda For Billionaires" video...
2:30 im sorry this was literally so adorable the narration with the timing of the art was too kuch for me. Please keep up the great work!
This video has the best explanation for the supernovae 😊 Thank you guys! Always looking forward for more learnings through your videos. 🤗
People don’t appreciate just how beautiful some of the art in these videos is. The style works so well with space themed videos.
Exactly
I love that it is consistent, it became Kurzgesagt's signature
The magnetosphere from the supernova was sick fam!
Not some. ALL the art.
True, I really love all Kurzgesagt videos
The thing about these videos is they're entertaining, educational, and sometimes tugs at your emotions. Kurzgesagt really is one of the kind.
This is such a great channel. I often forget the channel exists between uploads, and then I'm so happy to remember it that I just binge a bunch of old videos.
6:54 Damn Earth's lookin like the post-apocalyptic future in Chrono Trigger.
9:17 The view of space being revealed as a reflection in a pond is stunning visual.
This makes me wonder how many solar systems this actually happens to every time there is a supernova.
between one, and four. Space is big.
In the core, the number is higher, but it's still under a hundred.
@@gwouru And due to how short the lives stars big enough to generate type 2 supernovae are, a large portion of those happen near their sibling solar systems from the same nebula, meaning they're not all that much older, and thus haven't had time for life to develop in the first place.
I watch these videos and scared, especially since our ozone layer has gotten weaker since humans began polluting the atmosphere with toxic chemicals. Or the fact these these random events can happen at any moment and could just wipe out our planet…. or galaxy.
@@maximusothunderman Technically our ozone layer is getting so much "stronger" with the pollution that it traps "heat" enough to become it's own power core. Anyway if that's what you're primarily afraid of then your life must be peaceful because random events like these have so little probability of happening in our lifetime and even less to actually impact us that it's actually the least dangerous thing that can exist for us out there. Of course it's different if we look at it in a civilization of species scale as it will for sure happen one day but that's a problem for my grandson's grandson's grandson's grandson's...
@@mynamesbigmynamesbigmyname4757 true. Well at first it was a black hole as something I was worried about. But yeah that problem might not happen for another dozen generations or so.
These videos are TV quality, yet you produce these and offer them to us for free -- not on one channel, but on multiple channels, most of which required translations -- all for free. I respect you. You guys are one of the channels that make RUclips. (DISCLAIMER BELOW, because there's a lot of debate in the replies.)
A lot of people have taken "TV quality", to mean bad. However, I want to make it clear that I didn't mean the comment as an insult, but as a compliment. It is also important to note that I did mean streaming services, such as Netflix, not cable. Though I spend virtually no time watching either, this comment meant more so that this is quality content, that I could see becoming official rather than a RUclips operation.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy RUclips and consistently watch it, but you also have to remember that some RUclips channels (such as this one) are more... polished, than others, especially considering that this is the same platform that has the family vloggers, and "DON'T CALL AT 3 AM!!! 😲😲" videos.

@@centralkaufci why ?
This video was uploaded to the German Kurzgesagt channel yesterday sporting the funk label. Funk is part of the content netzwork of ARD and ZDF, which are two German public television channels. German public broadcasting is funded by the 'Rundfunkbeitrag', which is a tax that's legally not actually a tax but binding all the same. In short, Kurzgesagt videos are partly funded by German public television.
@@Steamrick damn that's cool i didn't know that. its good to know that the german government is actually doing useful with tax money instead of wasting it in useless ways lol
@@anustubhmishra It's not actually tax money, it's citizens' money taken in by a private organization for public use. Despite that, it's not optional and people have gone to prison for refusing to pay.
It's... a rather controversial topic.
That said, Kurzgesagt is one of the best uses the money could be seeing.

@@multiarray2320 yep, basically!
I love these videos, they show us how horribly humanity can perish and then end with a "no worry this won't happen for the next billion years" seems weird, but it always fuels me with inspiration
I mean if you think about it life has had all this time to evolve without being entirely wiped out, what are the chances for that to happen right now in our short lives?
@@OmniversalInsect Some things we are uniquely vulnerable to, but the rest of life isn't. The most obvious example is a human centric disease, however for a more cosmic example consider a powerful coronal mass ejection that is aimed at us. Our modern electronic society would be very negatively affected by that, while the rest of life would just see a pretty light show further south than they usually appear. And in fact we've seen such a thing quite recently - look up the Carrington event.
dont worry supernova is instant, it is like if you eat nuke, it is instant 😊
In 2018, while looking through my telescope I saw this star that suddenly flashed and then went out. I think it was a supernova.
@@vkobevk Only if it's very close by. A more distant, but still close enough to be dangerous, supernova would not instantly fry the planet, as the video explains. It could even last for centuries, as the waves of radiation steadily degrade our environment.
I liked the mix of the stellar engine theme at the end of the video, very nice touch.
You have made me love science not gonna lie, now I have been writing about space science and working harder in science in school, great video 👍
Imaging humanity a 10 million years from now (if we survive) is just mind blowing. If we make it that far, we will probably be all over the known universe and be present in millions of planets.
I really hope we can at least get somewhere before the universe eventually dies, it will take so many years of course. Yet, its not as far as we think it is. At least, I hope we leave our mark before we all go into our restfull sleep.
Even if we can invent FTL tech, we will only ever be able to visit a tiny, tiny part of the universe as (covered in another Kurzgesagt video: "TRUE Limits Of Humanity - The Final Border We Will Never Cross") everything outside our local group is expanding away from us faster than or fast as the speed of light. As mentioned in the above video, 94% of the known universe is already gone beyond the veil
Don't worry I'm gonna kill us all before that happens 👍

you guys make me wanna live, and maybe change the world for the better
no ikr?? like i dont usually feel this way and interestingly enough, they do it while telling us very alarming things
The best you can do to make the world better is to live your own life as well as you can, contribute to your community where you can, and not blindly follow others when it's the wrong thing to do, even if it's the popular thing to do.
You don't have to be a superhero, just do the best you can realistically do. When people try to take on too much or set their goals too high for the world, they often end up doing nothing, nothing that makes a difference, or just complain and get angry or depressed.
be careful not to choke on your aspirations.

Thanks Kurzgesagt for putting yet another one of my fears to rest. There are so many things we know about these days that sound almost unfathomable in their depth of potential damage. Instead of floating around in my head as another "what if?" scenario, this fear is finally able to shut up. This channel has done so much good for my anxiety, I really can't say thank you enough.

I really do like that transition from the analogy to the suns effects on the Earth from about ~3 million light years away with the beach one and then in the next paragraph, the animation goes underneath the water of the beach into the beautiful depictions of the coral reefs to talk about how scientists are able to understand that Earth a long time ago was hit by some super novae remnants and that caused some radio active minerals (rocks) to form on or underneath the sea beds.
This is almost half the video from Veritasium on Supernovas still it is extremely well-grounded to be understood by almost anyone. Amazing work as always Kurzgegast 👏
Coincidence 🗿
yeah seems like a pretty blatant ripoff
@@jake4000 Not really possible to rip off when video like this takes months to create.
My thoughts exactly
@@XanGious would take a lot less than months if you have most the video and information already made and copied
0:07 “We have no real metaphor for their power.”
_immediately states a metaphor for their power_
I love how calmly he explains how the earth could be destroyed
Because it's not going to happen

Thank you for increasing my knowledge
You did an awesome job! I appreciate the hard work but there was a little mistake the moons shadow was not realistic other than that, A+!
it's so cool to see the consistency of science by comparing the most recent video on veritasium and this channel, that by coincidence both happen to be about this subject, and because science is the same across the world they both feature the same information.
was searching for someone mentioning it
yeah "coincidence" lmao
@@Amin25203 why sarcasm? You think they stole it and animated it in 8 days? xd
@@yumeyuki1944 No but clearly someone is giving these guys subjects in advance or the all communicate about what they are working on because this happens a lot
@@peterw1534 idk it seems like it’s just based on what topics are popular at the time and/or any new info coming out
As an Astrophysicist, I am so morbidly curious to see a Supernovae in our stellar neighbourhood! Chances are, we’d be fine but it’d be a great show!
A teacher?
@@dittocto ahh nope? My literal day job is Research Astrophysicist :) PhD and all
@@sarawebbscience I was wondering then, how accurate was this video according to you?
Me too, as long as the supernova is > 150 LY distance.
@@lightningaxe28 it was excellent! All of their videos are brilliant, so well researched and they do a great job at combining information across sub fields of science too! Like the earth science used to determine mass extinctions which might have been helped along with supernovae :)
Its impressive how life can re-start itself all over again, and man, its so interesting how a supernova can afect a planet. In the end, I hope that before the unvierse dies and we all rest, it doesn't happen, so that we can at least make some disoveries and then part from this universe leaving our mark.
The fact that life still manages to hang on through a super nova 4 lightyears away is incredible.
9:12 -- nice throwback to the star engine bit you guys had in an episode a long time ago.
Also...can't help but have: "LET'S JUST PICK UP OUR SOLAR SYSTEM......AND MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE" echoing in my mind, in Patrick's voice, while that part hit.
Yeah, I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that.
Sounds like a great idea for a game. Instead of nukes in Fallout, it could be a supernova in "Nova".
dude supernova's is just doomguy on a galactic scale
@@yeetusdeletus8254 more like Duke Nukem because it nukes it's region of the galaxy
Could you make a video on all the different types of "novas?" Like comparing the power and sizes of different explosions. Compare and contrast different types of stars novas. Like I imagine a black hole star has a larger explosion at the end of its life than even a black hole evaporating at it's end. But I'm curious if I am wrong.
It’s a bit morbid, but the fact that any life can survive and recover from a super nova 4 light years away is inspiring in a weird way.
It’s… worth noting that life probably wouldn’t have time to get anywhere near back to where we are now. While 'the sun has five billion years left' is a true statement, it’s also heating up continuously (and the concentration of carbon dioxide is dropping)- in 800-900 million years, photosynthesis will simply cease to be possible. Even as soon as 500 million years will have increasingly harsh conditions.
The highest estimate is 1.2 billion years before anything more complex than single-celled organisms goes extinct.
These videos are both extremely terrifying yet calming.
Yeah I’m scarred for life rn
@@BradyT-800 nah we're all fine, and even if one were to blow up let's say 100 ly away...well, you have 100 years left which is more than enough xD
I love how they used just a few seconds of the sound track from the stellar engine video in the end to just enhance the scene a bit more. Love the continuity ❤️
"me hearing that I'm safe" Yippee 😁
"But somewhere in the far future-" ☠️
