A fracking goldmine is this series. Amateur astrophotographer now wanting to adjust my own imaging schedule. So much to image and maybe a chance to get lucky like this!
PTF was recently replaced with a 576megapixel camera called the Zwicky Transient Facility (16x 6K ccds mosaic array) on the 48” Schmidt telescope at Palomar. It is currently discovering 500K-1M transients per night. You should do a video on this! Also, 2021 for LSST commissioning is a pretty big stretch. If you ever make it to Palomar, I’ll give you a tour of ZTF.
We have all these pictures of other galaxies. Now think about this, how many pictures are there of _our_ galaxy, taken by civilizations in other galaxies? Do they make similar videos, describing the features of the Milky Way? Wondering weather one of the billions of stars in it have a civilization like theirs?
We live in a pretty unremarkable galaxy, so probably not -- they're all probably looking at M99 and the M99ians are getting a little miffed at being spied at.
No it's not! Our tech is bollocks! If we didn't have the thousand years of hardly any technological advance in the dark ages then we'd have some amazing technology. In fact, we are not even an class 1.0 civilization yet.
We are in theage now of reclassifying all objects because of the improvement of the instruments and the new discoveries being made. If you like it is the modern equivqlent to Galileo rewriting the structure of the Solar System except now it extends out into the observable Universe.
Very very interesting videos on all objects. Truly a great job I hope to receive new videos with particularity on many objects present in them to have even a partial part of a particular study in each Messier object. Thanks anyway it's a great job.1724
Why do galaxies form spirals? They're so big one would think gravity would be too weak. Is the massive black hole at the center turning on an axis pulling the whole thing in one direction? Also, why do galaxies and solar systems function in a plane? Why don't the planet's all have eccentric orbits. And why are our solar system moons so varied??
This is a transient object M99. What causes a nova or supernova is that a star has entered a stream of electric flow with a higher voltage than it was in. The star tries to dissipate the additional energy into the surrounding medium by increasing its surface area and spreads out it to the surroundings. Many stars have changed positions on the HR diagram. This could be a star that is undergoing binary fission into two stars with lower luminosity to spread its surface area to adjust to the increased voltage input.
Come on, why did you add an audible sound to the explosions? You should have used a lower frequency sound instead, something that would have been felt instead of heard.
Interesting, I was wondering if your cohort has decifered the meanings behind " Newgrange, knoth, Gobeklitepe, Druid knowledge of the moon cycle etc. I'm just curious if you are expanding on ancestral knowledge/memory. Apologies if I sound irrelevant:)
Why do we place so much certainty on measurements of change when our relative time span of measurement (i.e., start time to stop time) is so miniscule? We're doing measurements that aren't even spanning a human lifetime. Isn't that a kind of hubris because we haven't been measuring the cosmos reliably for even 100 years? How is this not false pride in functionally useless data for the congregation of man?
No no no!, near future golden age = the past as the future then will promise more, thus what really means the word progress Keep going forward, and we need to catch up
Well, you had me until you said "Core collapse, …...fusion at the center". This is absolutely NOT what is going on in an AGN, it is a vortex or electromagnetic confluence of electrons, plasma, and other material. How can a center "collapse" and also spew out material in the form of "jets". Can both happen simultaneously. Just my humble opinion....

. . . as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
Speculating on the progenitor, are you?
then name a system!
Once you complete the Messier catalogue, please move to objects in the NGC! I love these videos and rewatch often. Thank you!
I have a soft spot for the Sears catalogue, myself.
Thanks Dr. Gray.
So much information explained in such a simple, clear way. She is brilliant!!
I love these videos. Hope you'll do the NGC and IC catalogues when all the Messiers are done!

I just hope they respect GDPR
Nope. It's just us here in this lil' ol' universe. Just us.
@@rubiks6 that's true
Thanks, I've missed your videos!
It appears that we are entering a "golden age" of astronomy. Our technology is truly amazing.
Yup, and we've not even launched the James Webb yet. When that baby comes online, we're gonna see some serious s**t
@@passthebutterrobot2600 If that baby comes online.
I'll believe it, when I see it!
No it's not! Our tech is bollocks! If we didn't have the thousand years of hardly any technological advance in the dark ages then we'd have some amazing technology. In fact, we are not even an class 1.0 civilization yet.
@@XEinstein Is that somting that should be desired?
@@JohnJohansen2 I would certainly like to life in a 1+ class civilization. Space fairing and all!
As usual a very interesting video. Thank you for sharing your love for these subjects.
Just found your site! So happy! You’re great. Keep up your great work!
Good show! Enjoyed all the insert visualizations, red stars - cool stuff
I did a project in school on Messier 99 and 55
Yay, Meghan is back.
All time great series
Wow! Awesome pictures. Great commentary!
Great explanation! Love it!
Amazing series of videos, thank you!
The data sharing is fantastic.
She's back!!!
Welcome back. Missed u a lot
Finally a scientist who knows that the word “data” is plural. She’s great.
I'm just saying, V838 Monocerotis. Oh, and... yes, I'm saying, welcome back, Dr Meghan Gray!!!
We are in theage now of reclassifying all objects because of the improvement of the instruments and the new discoveries being made. If you like it is the modern equivqlent to Galileo rewriting the structure of the Solar System except now it extends out into the observable Universe.
Thanks for boosting my faith in mankind.
Great video. Love the astronomy. But for the sake of botany, is your christmas cactus blooming? It is too out of focus to tell.
You kind of want with the images: 1 - normalise(abs(A - B))
yay more content to this channel!
You are awesome! Great videos.

This is immensely cool.
With this and the James Webb telescope, I'm getting pretty excited x
You're mistaken, it's not perfectly face-on; it's at somewhat of an angle which is what's causing it's asymmetric appearance.
1:33 It was Alderaan. A moment of silence, please.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! MORE VIDEOS PLEASE WOOOOOO
Is there a video for Messier 94 ?
Where would we be able to access the data feed from the new scope when it goes live?
Maybe a Nicoll-Dyson beam? Would that have a characteristic spectrum?
How do astronomers judge the speed of galaxies, objects etc when everything is relative? Is it as simple as that their speed is in relation to earth?
Have you got a new camera? The image seems different here: smooth, soft, high quality
I am totally crushing on Dr. Gray.
I thought it was just me.
M99 is one of the messier objects indeed.
Passionnant comme toujours. Merci.
Dr Gray and Dr Becky on the same day.
Got an update on this telescope?
how are these clusters/stars named?
Dr Gray ....I’m amazed so how did anyone pick out that star ?
To me the paper with the stars looks like smug marks .......so it’s a star?
Things that go bump in the night, and an explosion of data.
so what about IC 1101
It could be the result of an interplantary war.
My guess is merge between 2 stars
what moon unit gave a thumbs down! : (

A big thank you to the NSF and therefore the USA for making the output of this telescope freely available.
She's so pretty!!!! ugh so cuddley.
On an unrelated note, I can't help but notice oh-so-brief hints of British peeking through the otherwise typical Californian vocal fry.
She's from Canada.
Come on, why did you add an audible sound to the explosions?
You should have used a lower frequency sound instead, something that would have been felt instead of heard.
Well, I was listening via my Beyerdynamic DT770's and was actually amazed with how low frequency those explosions actually sounded.
What we really need is a lunar telescope.
I made the 110th like. Just so everyone knows. hehe.. I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Wait for it...
Giorgio Tsoukalos will announce that it evidence of ancient aliens.
I'm a little disappointed they didn't call this a Chevy Nova.
buh-dum tshh
🤦🏽♀️
nova means no go in spanish
Only 60s kids will get it

Data is data, how you feel about it is your problem.
@@MsSomeonenew how can you verify your data? Idiot
No no no!, near future golden age = the past as the future then will promise more, thus what really means the word progress
Keep going forward, and we need to catch up
Hypothesis confirmed, I still have a crush on Dr Gray.
Machine learning might be the solution to handle the massive flow of data of modern instruments. That or citizen science.
Long story short: Can you give astrological interpretation of these facts, Doctor? ;-)
4:12 In space, no one can hear you explode. So stop the shameful sound effects.
It's obviously Klingons around Uranus...
Dr. Gray is my waifu
She's pretty ugly

Yes , a core of a star can collapse and spew out jets at the same time , ever here of gama ray bursts , same thing

Not so humble.
gotta love astrology (yes im trying to be annoying)
Maybe you don't understand physics and reality as it really is...Dark matter? fantasy.
Electrical environment? Yes.
