    In this segment of our “How far away is it” video book, we cover interacting or colliding galaxies.
    We describe what it means for galaxies to collide given the great distances between stars within each galaxy. We then take a look at some of the interacting galaxies photographed by the Hubble Telescope. These include: The Antennae Galaxies, The Mice, NGC 2207 with IC 2163; Apr 256; ESO 576-69; APR 142; NGC 6240; the Tadpole Galaxy; UCG 1810 with UCG 1813; the spectacular APR 147; NGC 454; South America Galaxy; and ZW II 28.
    We spend some time on peculiar galaxy NGC 7603 with its multiple red-shift objects that challenge well accepted theories on Dark Matter and Cosmology.
    Next, we discuss how we go about seeing a process that takes a billion years by observing interactions at various stages along the process as understood by computer simulations. Here we show a few that illustrate the phases of an interaction: the initial approach with NGC 6786 and LEDA 62867; first contact with VV 304A and VV 304B; penetration with Mayall’s Object; out the other side with ESO 77-14; wrap around with VV 705; and merge with The Owl.
    We end with another simulation. This time it’s the collision between Andromeda and the Milky Way.
    Music:
    @00:00 Vangelis - “Heaven and Hell” “3rd Movement” - Vangelis' "3rd Movement" on his 1975 album "Heaven and Hell" was chosen by Carl Sagan as the theme for his wonderful 'Cosmos' series.
    @07:56 Vangelis - “Conquest of Paradise” - Vangelis released this song in 1992. It was the theme for the movie "1492 Conquest of Paradise"]

    Thank you for your videos!
    As a boy, my dad moved us around to mostly rural areas. One place we lived was Micronesia and back in the 80’s, there wasn’t a strong, reliable power system. This meant there were many days with the lights were out. So on a new moon night, the stars were magnificent!!!! Zero light pollution leant to seeing the brilliancy of the Milky Way with the naked eye!
    I would go outside and spend hours just being blown away at what I was seeing. I also was reading Arthur C Clarke so my interest, and imagination, in what I was witnessing was at peak levels. My eye sight at that was better than average and that helped the spectacle.
    I’m now in my late 40’s and after a lifetime of diabetes, I can not see as well as I use to. It’s actually the most depressing thing to me...however, your videos take me back to that time! And since then, of course, Hubble has shown so much more than I could have even imagine!
    Again, thank you for these videos! It’s truly amazing to be alive at this time as we discovery more and more of our cosmos. (Can’t wait for James Webb to go up!)
    I know there’s been complaints about the music that cause ads to pop up. I enjoy it and hope you don’t change to appease others. There are also people creeping onto your videos that feel like they know more than the scientists, engineers and students that study this. I’d understand if you turn off comments because it’s annoying we have regressed to that type of dialogue. But I digress...
    Cheers!

    This is probably the 5th or sixth video I watched from you I'm really glad I found the channel. I'm only upset I didn't find it sooner, because I find it extremely informative and very easy to follow. A lot of times people use so many scientific specific nomenclature and these words that are so esoteric to regular people that it makes it more difficult to understand the overall things that you're trying to inform us about. This channel however is extremely easy to follow and the graphics are great because they're not just a bunch of CGI artist illustrated pictures they're the real thing that we're seeing in the sky and I value that a lot

    By the way, NGC 1512 looks like it would have eventually become something like Hoag's Object, if left alone. I am a strong proponent that spirals, perhaps barred spirals only (unless spirals would naturally become barred, over time), would naturally become HO's, if left to their own devices.
    As much, what the Hell IS that pink thing in Arp 147? It looks like a perfected HO! The pink thing looks like it shouldn't even exist.

    Hi David, thanks for another amazing presentation. could the merging of the two galaxies lead to 1,000's of star collisions that could create hypernovae?

    • @userx694
      @userx694 Před 3 lety +2

      As distances between stars can be so vast (with respect to stars' sizes), the probability of collision of a star with another during merger of galaxies is very very less (like 1 in a million, relatively higher near galactic core). In the rare case of a star collision, either merger to form bigger star or breaking apart into hydrogen and helium (+other elements) of the stars occurs.
      There is almost nil possibility of a hypernova. Hypernova occurrences are not collision/disturbance but due to gravity overpowering other forces leading to collapse(for example when the star runs out of fuel, causing fusion creating heavier elements which stops soon by the time iron forms). Collision does not cause gravity overpowering any core forces, on the contrary destabilizing impact causes shear and the stars could fall apart if the collision occurs at speeds higher than what would allow star merged into bigger star

      Hi Dean, I have the same question about stars colliding when galaxies merge. I get that stars in the outer arms of a galaxy are far apart (4 light years from our sun to Proxima Centauri). However, in the How far away is it video series covering the Milky Way (video #10) David Butler said the stars at the centre of the MW are densely packed, thousands of stars within a radius of 1 light year. So if the centre of MW hit the centre of Andromeda , there would be real fireworks! I’m excited to see what images JWST will capture
      We are so very fortunate to live in this time of technological advancement bringing us new discoveries so frequently.
      We can all be thankful to have David Butler with his vast knowledge, beautiful images and best of articulate narration

    8:15 those 2 galaxies look like an owl🦉 face.

    Thanks for a interesting video.It's easy to understand that the stars woun't collide,due to the great distances.But what about planetary systems orbiting the stars?Earth will obviously not exist at the time,but what about other planets?Will the tidal forces of the other galaxy move or throw planets away from the orbits?

    I kinda feel bad when it comes to the night sky. I live in rural Australia, so it's very dark at night here, so dark I can just walk outside my house, let my eyes adjust and see the full Milkyway and large and small magellanic clouds with the naked eye as well as seeing Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn very clearly almost every night. I just wish I had a good camera to do photos of what I see outside my front door at night.

    @David Butler - Thank you for this amazing video. Why do you often use the term "tidal forces" instead of "gravitational forces"? Please explain the difference.

      It's the same thing, it's a way to remind everyone, I guess.

      They are the same thing. We saw tidal forces at work long before we discovered gravity. I think that is why we have two names.

      Tidal forces are a peculiar way of gravitational interaction, their intensity is driven not only by the intensity of the gravity interaction but by gravity gradient(how much vary the force in a specific distance) , for example sun exercise 170 times bigger gravity force than the moon about earth but its tidal force apply to the earth is less than half of the moon(moon is much closer its gravity gradient is 400 time higher).

    David, I've heard on another YT video that there is already a star forming region halfway between Milky Way and Andromeda. If so, it's likely the two galaxies are already colliding. I've not been able to find an original source for this info though. What do you know?

    Question sir✍️
    If Big Bang was reason ,made all galaxies , how it is possible any 2 galaxies heading toward each other ... if source was one ( Big Bang) direction can’t be change their course, then how is it possible 2 galaxies heading toward each other
