- Now that CZcams supports 8k60fps videos, here's an updated version of the original, 6 years later, that has over 24 million views. Download in Full Quality here: gumroad.com/daveachuk
The point of this video was not to make people feel insignificant. It was to inspire awe for the scale of things that are out of our reach, but more importantly provide context for where we live, hopefully in a way that provokes a deeper appreciation for the things that ARE within our reach here on Spaceship Earth.
While we all may be utterly meaningless on the scale of the universe, that is not the scale of our everyday reality. We live on Earth, with other humans. And each time you show love to a friend, family member, or stranger, your significance is made more profound, in a way that is very much meaningful in the context of our existence as humans. The stars will never care about you -- but the people who you share your love with will. - Věda a technologie
Is there somebody in the Andromeda Galaxy, watching "Gigapixels of the Milky Way"....and wondering? Watching and wondering, just like we are?
I'm 100% sure of that.
I am not sure. It’s would be cool however if it was true.
I doubt i’d we will ever know but a good question though.Likewise with all the other galaxies.
‼️ If they are looking… we are not here yet, they will have to wait 250 million years to see us
They probably cant see us like this, they would need big telescopes since we are too small to be seen in their night sky
What fascinates me the most is that wherever you look, you see a star...
But if you would sit in a space craft and fly into any direction, you would fly millions of light years in a straight line not hitting any obstacle...
It's mind shattering how vast the space between the stars actually is...
Absolutely. Well said. Its mind-blowing
And the light you see from that star is light that left billions of years ago, meaning if you teleported to a star, it's possible you would find nothing there.
Pretty depressing to be honest.
You should read about space between atoms, the nucleus and electrons. The same thing happens in those small dimensions.
@@boogieboss Yes, but one is related to distance and the other is to size...
I get your point but those are two different things...
@@djafrika in the scale of galaxy’s, the Andromeda galaxy is really near to us.
Something like the moon to the earth even closer.
Clearly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my entire life. Thank you!
: )
wow thats intense
I watched this rn in my 4k tv and i was left with my mouth open for the entire video like this: 😲
czcams.com/video/SdZIiBLtWf4/video.html
2.5M years past!
Never been so blown away.
Always looked at this image thinking that was visual noise.
Little did I know it was the unfathomable scale of a galaxy looking me dead in the face.
You know someone over there is looking at the Milky Way saying “Someone over there is probably looking at us” This image blows my mind every single time I watch this!
How can an image be so beautiful yet so scary at the same time
I still so vividly remember the time I was on a beach...where there were zero buildings or lights for miles. And then looking up....it was almost terrifying. You can SEE with your own eyes the freaking Milky Way. I was astonished by how many stars I could see. It was like the sky was sprayed with powdered sugar. And the actual structure of the Milky Way was easily visible. I could see how it was an ellipse viewed side-on...and I could see hundreds of dust and gas clouds occluding spots all over the place. And I could see the galactic center and how much brighter it was. It was easily one of the most breathtaking things I've ever witnessed.
I actually was lucky enough to see the total solar eclipse that crossed America a few years ago. That was just incredible. BUT....to be perfectly honest, it paled in comparison to seeing the Milky Way in THAT detail. And I could look at it for hours....which I did. I literally just looked at it for hours....and even that wasn't enough. Not once did it become boring or uninteresting. It was the single most beautiful and astonishing thing I've ever seen with my eyes.
You owe it to yourself to experience that....
@@avedic Amazing
@@avedic I remember it from my childhood, when there were not as many lights on the street as today ... it was beautiful
@@avedic May be You can start reading Physics Man. I recommend you to start Feynman's Lecture series. You can also buy this book - For the Love of Physics. I am attempting the same. Some day, even if itvis a bit late, I hope to Pursue my MS-PhD in AstrobPhysics even at a later age. No boundaries for learning with age.

Are those tiny little micro dots stars?????.. I'm speechless...this just hit me like a sledgehammer...every dot is a star then think of all the planets and moons ...Wow
stars and other galaxy's
uh yes they are galactic stars like the center Sun of our galaxy. The little ones are the same just farther away, then you have the really smaller ones like our Earth Sun around all those stars that you can't really see. What you see is Galaxies, yes there are trillions of galaxies with trillions of Stars and planets.
Think of all the other life.
The original version of this video has been my favorite video for 5 years. I watch it regularly. I love that it has been remastered!
I prefer the original soundtrack, which was stunning - just like the visuals, but the music here is also fantastic.
I like to play the original video while I mute this one and watch it :)
The soundtrack of the original video is by Koda band, the song is The Last Stand. I prefer that aswell.
Same here - my favorite video for 5 years and got pretty attached to the music of that one too. And I agree, the music on this one is pretty nice too.
@@rockymountainastro1239 smart guy ^^
Where can I find the original?
Amazing to think how many civilizations in Andromeda alone.
Definitely
So what are alle the purple dots ?
Entirely possible that there are none.
@@bobflendorg1064the probability of that is very low. The laws of physics are the same as here.
@@ilyamorozov7908 Yes, and we have zero evidence of any extraterrestrial intelligent life in our own galaxy.
ive come back to this incredible video every few years since its release. it still fills me with the same awe.
now do it with the James Webb :D
So what are alle the purple dots ?
A quarter of one galaxy and all you see is a cloud consisting of billions of stars. There are endless galaxies even bigger than Andromeda. The universe is so damn big we can't even observe all of it. What we can see is no doubt an inconceivable fraction of what the universe actually is. Mind blowing
and when you think of "it all started with a big bang" it is incredible how much came from that. And what we now there is on material, is 5% of the mass, the rest should be dark matter. strange....
I'm glad I lived long enough to see this Universe it is a beautiful thing. Respect.
This is so emotional, one of those things that once you see them you will never forget. Thanks ever so much.
And the craziest thing is that around each of these little points there is a guy on his planet who does CZcams in the evening or something equivalent
The original video sent me, this remastered version sent me even further. My breath has been taken yet again. Thank you so much!
I also love your sentiments in the description. As a life-long amateur astronomer, those feelings have matched my own for many years now. Infinitesimal beings we may be, but we are the stuff of the universe made manifest in order to experience and learn about itself. As Einstein once put it, "A physicist is an atom's way of learning about atoms". We are not IN the universe. We ARE the universe, incarnate. Here's another quote I like, from Carl Sagan's novel, _Contact:_ "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love".
send the link please
@@carlos93809 Do you mean the link to the original video? Here it is below, but the video shown here is actually better quality:
czcams.com/video/udAL48P5NJU/video.html
Sorry I took a while to respond, for some reason I didn't get a notification of your reply.
The best thing about this video is the perspective it gives; You get to see what Andromeda looks like from a first person point of view and where it is in relation to earth and all the other stars visible to us. Then it zooms in to show the incredible distances and details involved with this huge collage created by Hubble. Wonderful production here thank you so much!
So what are alle the purple dots ?
@@Ron-sp7lwThat’s just a part of redshift and blueshift of light on the electromagnetic spectrum while the light travels it either gets shorter because of distortion do to other objects (Blueshift) or it gets longer (Redshift) or it could just be a celestial body.
Ok but where are the trillion stars then ?@@Googlydogandme
For you wondering what the guy in the background is saying: Astronomer Carl Sagan:
The spacecraft was a long way from home.
I thought it would be a good idea, just after Saturn, to have them take one last glance homeward. From Saturn, the Earth would appear too small for Voyager to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a point of light, a lonely pixel hardly distinguishable from the other points of light Voyager would see: nearby planets, far off suns. But precisely because of the obscurity of our world thus revealed, such a picture might be worth having.
So, here they are: a mosaic of squares laid down on top of the planets in a background smattering of more distant stars. Because of the reflection of sunlight off the spacecraft, the Earth seems to be sitting in a beam of light, as if there were some special significance to this small world; but it's just an accident of geometry and optics. There is no sign of humans in this picture: not our reworking of the Earth's surface; not our machines; not ourselves. From this vantage point, our obsession with nationalisms is nowhere in evidence. We are too small. On the scale of worlds, humans are inconsequential: a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal.
Cuando veo este video, de alguna forma desaparecen todos mis problemas por unos minutos, impresionante es poco, se escapa al lenguaje humano poder expresar el sentimiento al verlo.
Yo también lo veo con frecuencia antes de dormir. Tendemos a creer que somos el centro del universo, cuando en realidad no somos nada. Una diminuta, microscópica partícula de polvo escondida en una de trillones y trillones de galaxias. No está de más de vez en cuando tomar un poco de perspectiva para así reírnos de nuestros "problemas y preocupaciones".
Pretty nuts how you can see its so full of stars, jam-packed,,in high-res and zoomed in a lil.
Crazy universe😮
To be alive, to love, to experience joy and connection, and also pain and sorrow, is a miracle. Enjoy it, don't kill yourself, spiritually and/or physically. Let the miracle of life be your anchor, your safe place, your refuge.
Greet the person that walks past you on the sidewalk. Make your bed after you get up, cook your own dinner then do the washing up. Open your mail and don't talk to people who won't listen to you. Free yourself from your childhood trauma.
Love yourself, in a humble way.
So what are alle the purple dots ?
@@Ron-sp7lw doo doo
This is, by far, the most awe-inspiring video I've seen in a long long time. It literally brings tears to my eyes... to feel like I'm staring into something so much greater than our own existence. My wish, as I get older, is that somehow, someway, the human race doesn't destroy itself over petty hatred and tribalism. We have the gift to be so much more than we are. Let's not waste our tiny chance at true greatness.
True, it brings tears in the eyes seeing this and repeating the video, you should safe/share it to a "public" playlist on your account so more will will see. Every body should.
Imagine all the creatures - from all the worlds in every corner - spread out in a cold dark macrocosm universe - that never knew the others existed - some from so long ago that time can't remember them - and others ahead in a time not yet counted - while those that exist now - are long dead and don't know it and only hallow echos across the expanse tease us that they were once here - as we will one day too - makes me weep in joyous sorrow for there is no yesterday or tomorrow, there is only the microcosm of my NOW!
It's called a phantasm.
How could anyone think we are alone?
Thank you for this comment.
What's even crazier is when you see this picture and consider the eventual collision between Andromeda, and the Milk Way. Space is so big that the odds of any planet or star colliding is essentially 0%.
I knew there were many stars in the galaxy... but so MUCH! Moreover, as I understand it, the large stars that are visible on Andromeda are not its stars, but ours, which are located in our galaxy and are only projected on Andromeda... Now the Milky Way is almost nowhere to be seen, the whole sky is illuminated. But I remember as a child, in the village, in August, on a cloudless and moonless night, we lay on a hay-pile and it seemed that the Milky Way could be touched by hand. He loomed over us. How bright and literally tangible it was. Now you can find such pictures, but I remember it from my childhood. I know that with the naked eye we see a very small region of stars "near" us... this is a region-a point on the Milky Way... I know that we don't see many stars near us, because their glow is very faint. I know Andromeda is much bigger than the Milky Way, but to have SO MANY stars!!!! I'm in shock! So many visible stars! And how many more of those whose glow is too weak! ... then only obscene words expressing admiration for the greatness of the Cosmos! ))))))
When You know a video will make you cry , before even watching it .
How can you not cry looking at these images
awww
I think the stars in a way do care about you, you are their children, in this vast evolving cosmos, you are the children of the stars and the only ones (that we know of) that can comprehend with mind and heart what it means when you look back at the cosmos, we are star dust evolved into beings that can comprehend what created us and look back upon it in wonder and awe.
die Tatsache das ich dabei Gänsehaut bekommen...mich dazu hingezogen fühle beweist mir persönlich von wo wir kommen und wohin wir gehen werden, jeder einzelne.
Thank you, you're amazing for doing this.
Thank you for putting this up.
And in all of that, nothing is more miraculous then the person sitting next to me watching this too.
Wait... when was I sitting next to you? 😋
@@EmeraldView He said that to me just the other night
Aww
Every one of those stars is about 5 to 10 light YEARS apart. Absolutely mind boggling..
Moving & inspiring. Thanks for putting this together!!
Infinitely awesome yet tremendously depressing. It's all right there to see in all its glory but absolutely unreachable. Every resource we could ever want, forever beyond our ability to exploit.
WOW this remaster is incredible, the quality here is astounding!! It seems my PC can't handle the 8K resolution(yet!!!) but even in 4K the greatly improved quality and fps is noticeable compared to the original!! Well done! As other comments mentioned it of course has a different emotional delivery now with the change of music, but it makes sense that is outside your control now with copyright issues.
It's not the PC that's at issue whether you can handle 8K, it's mostly your monitor. 8K monitors are still very expensive.
thank you so much for posting this
I was just remembering the original video from years ago. What are the odds you just uploaded a new version
To say there is no life elsewhere is to take a spoonful of our ocean and say there are no fish in the sea
To say there is life is like catching a fish from the sea and thinking you must be a God and you created it.
Stellardrone. Love to hear it.
Just searched this up after a few years and glad to see an updated version.
Glad to aee you're alive
You to.
I think this really puts into perspective just how big space is. You can know the numbers and the science but you can never really grasp the vastness of space without a visual. This is one of the best visuals of the scale of space out there.
Your description was very well written
Funny that you uploaded again after so long. Was just watching giapixels of andromeda yesterday.
It's been so long since I've uploaded that I've literally gotten emails asking if I was dead, haha. Thanks for watching.
@@daveachuk haha yeah I just figured you were doing other things.
@@daveachuk hahaha lol
Absolutely magnificent. Takes the breath away to try to comprehend how many 'suns' we see in this galaxy, especially compared to our own 'Milky Way Galaxy'.
"In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."--- Wow, yeah!! That's a LOT of 'mansions'! Looks good to me.
About 1000000000000
The previous video were honestly better. It had such an impact on me I have started crying.
But still, thank you for great presentation here Sir. I salute you.
Thinking of how many civilizations inhabit all the possible star systems in this galaxy definitely can make an impact on you, and be very emotional experience.
Awe-inspiring. Seeing such detail in something 2.5 million light years away. Frightening and beautiful.
Not the same without Koda- Last stand
Yeah, it makes it a different video, but such is life in the era of modern CZcams where music licensing is nearly impossible! Unfortunately the organization representing Koda was really troublesome to try to work with, and they ended up will full control of the original video, forced ads to be run and kept 100% of the revenue. Koda himself on the other hand was super chill. At least with this Creative Commons song I can turn off ads and not worry about it at all.
@@daveachuk hii, thanks for the videos on space.
@@daveachuk music rights are brutal, sorry that happened to you! And thanks for producing this.
@@daveachuk damn that sucks. Your videos are amazing btw I didnt mean to be such a downer🤣🙌🏼
Super-Ultrawide? lol
This makes me cry, every time I watch it.
The original version of this video has been my favorite video for 5 years. I watch it regularly. I love that it has been
The most thought-provoking thing I've seen in my entire life.
Thank you☺☺☺
Breathtaking
That "Koda" song made all the difference in the world. ( I mean universe )
Yep
One day we will go there
Now think about that: Every Bright spot you see there is a Star like our sun which is most likely orbited by many Planets that are not visible in the Picture since they dont emit light. So you can basically Multiply the Numer of Spots you see there and get the number of Celestial Bodies in that Galaxy. Also i bet if you would pause the video at any point and would try to manually count all stars you see in that frame you would take more than a day to do so.
Space is big.
You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.
I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Amazing!
There are literally no words in the English Language that can possibly describe the true scale and incredible wonders of the Universe. Such mind boggling and unimaginable distances to cover just to get to our nearest star Alpha Centauri. 4 light years Dosen’t sound too bad really but: With our current technology, travelling at the speed of the Voyager Spacecraft, it would take something like 275.000 Earth Years to get there! Absolutely superb graphics, knitted together with this beautiful, but at the same time, Haunting Synthesiser music. I could easily listen to it all night long with the volume at a suitably low, yet mellowing level! Congratulations on a stunningly beautiful piece of work. I’m subbed! Does anyone know who the music’s by please? Unicorn Heads do very similar Synthesiser work on ElderFox’s Mars Rover video’s. Kind regards from England. ❤️🇺🇸🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️
This is AMAZING that it's been remastered. The original track has far more mysterious and majestic power behind it, and captured the full essence of the all the feelings one gets looking up with awe. I'm a fan of spacey ambient tunes so this new track was still nice. So glad to see it in 60fps it was made for it. Great job man ❤🧡💛💚💙
When I see this video I have tears in my eyes, we r nothing in our universe, there r trillion trillion star, planets, fantastic beautiful, mind blowing
Thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And at the end of the sixth day, Chuck Norris looked over all he had made, and he was very pleased.
Is Mr.norris your hero.
Just noticed this "new" vid the old one (7 year ago from my comment) was pinned to my twitter now its this version . Thank you
As beautiful as this is, without Koda my emotions aren't as engaged.
Mute video, play Koda. That's what I do. Well, better yet, download the Gigapixel image and play Koda, even better! CZcams adds a tiny amount of distortion compared to panning through the actual photo.
Mind blowing to try to imagine all the trillions of different worlds in that galaxy alone.
Is what I think all the time I watch this video, now think that there are hundreds of billion of other galaxies out there!!! Its just the most interesting thing a person can think of
There’s absolutely no way we are alone in all this seeing this makes me tear up every time I watch it.
This is an amazing update! Any chance you can do something similar for the newly released Images from the James Webb Telescope? Fantastic work!
it is incomprehensible, the number of stars (and planets) a galaxy holds. there are billions of galaxies in our visible universe...just imagine how many planets. And how many planets with life on it.
Really fantastic beautiful,.mind blowing, when I see this video I have tears in my eyes
¡No me cansaré,de ver éste vídeo!🔍👍🔭👌
Sem palavras! O universo é fascinante e ao mesmo tempo assustador.
So now it seems clear, that there are more stars in the universe than sand grains in our world, this is amazing!
@yongga ap says who? that's wrong.
About 100 billion stars in each galaxy and about 2 trillion galaxies, so about 50000 times more stars than grains of sand on every beach and desert in the world.
Amazing!!!
Even more amazing is between each little dot it's about 4 light years and would take 50 million years to drive between each dot.
The universe is truly gigantic
@@craigfowler7098that's just the observable universe. The whole universe is very likely much much much bigger.
you made me feel insignificant bro
Spectacular!
So Beautiful
Just one of over 2.000.000.000.000 galaxies within the observable universe
😂😂 u melted my brain. Again. First time was watching this vid.
💓☀🌏thank you very much🙏🙏🙏
Mind = Blown! 💥
anyone who is supporting the idea of changing the music for this video to the same original one (Koda- Last stand) ?
for me the music in the original video making what you are seeing more dazzling and meaningful .
Just wondering how many intelligent civilizations exists in the Andromeda Galaxy !
@michael getachew Does this fearmongering actually bring people in? I'm genuinely curious, because typically when I see someone yelling at me to repent I want them to leave me alone, and most of the rest of the world does too.
In the first close up, not every dot is a star, but just noise made by the camera sensor
All my problems for today just dropped as soon as i looked to this video!
Brividi ogni volta che lo guardo
OMG that looks like a solid yet there is thousands of light years between the stars of the galaxy.
To anyone who's never seen the Milky Way, in person, with next to zero light pollution....put it as #1 on your bucket list. Do it.
There's online resources to find the nearest spot to you with as little light pollution as possible. I still so vividly remember the time I was on a beach...where there were zero buildings or lights for miles. And then looking up....it was almost terrifying. You can SEE with your own eyes the freaking Milky Way. I was astonished by how many stars I could see. It was like the sky was sprayed with powdered sugar.

When I first saw this, like 6 years ago, it left me in such awe and wondering for days, speechless to this day. Original track was better choice, why touch something perfect :D
Absolutely amazing. Our universe is mind blowingly amazing .. POOF! .. mind blown!
Soo beautiful😭,ohh god
Everything is possible, this beautiful image can unlock our conscious to be able to humble ourselves. We are the World.
Legend is back 👍🔥🔥🔥
Impresionante, se imaginan cuantos millones de millones de planetas con vida hay solo en esta galaxia? Esperaremos hasta que los seres humanos tengamos la tecnología para poder llegar a esos lugares que por ahora solo son imaginarios
This video should stop every conflict 😮
Sublime! 🤩
Dariusz obejrzałem. Ciekawe, a jednocześnie niepokojące.
I literally watch the older version yesterday
What a gorgeous sight! 😯🥰
