In this segment of our "How far away is it" video book, we cover the Andromeda galaxy along with our local group of galaxies, including some of the dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.
We begin with Edwin Hubble's discovery of a Cepheid variable star in what was thought to be a Milky Way nebula. The star was V1 and it changed the history of astronomy. We cover the black hole at the center of Andromeda, highlight the size of this beautiful galaxy with its trillion stars, and point out what was going on here on our planet when the light we see left Andromeda on its journey into our telescopes.
Next we identify the local group of galaxies including: Triangulum with its great star birth H II region NGC 604; irregular galaxy NGC 6822 with its unique Hubble V H II region; the recently discovered galaxy IC 10; nearly edge on galaxy NGC 3109; and Sextans A.
Then we focus on the two main galaxies orbiting the Milky Way -- the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. Then we take a look at some of the amazing nebula within these two dwarf galaxies including: Supernova Remnant N 63A, SN 0509-67.5, the Tarantula Nebula, 30 Doradus, Hodge 301, the Double Bubble, LH 95, NGC 2074, NGC 602, and NGC 346.
We conclude with a review of the galaxies we covered marked on a map of the Local Group.

Every time the problems of the people around me seem to overwhelm me, I go to CZcams and watch videos about the universe. That helps me to bring everything back into perspective and calm down.
Me too. I unwind to astronomy vids almost every night. Really gives you a better sense of reality.
It gives you a peace like nothing else. You can't get worked up over daily life here on earth. Most affairs and tasks become nothing.
Observing the cosmos is definitely one of the most wonderful activities in this brief biological life.
Indeed, sir.
The best vid ever made about astronomy ! Compliments Sir both for your clear explanation , the soft tone of your cultured voice and the civilised and not intrusive music in the background ! You deserve a 5 star award !
This video is like a documentary, a lullaby, a symphony, a discreet CZcams video, and a grandpa’s secret message all in one.
I always wonder if some civilization in another galaxy like andromeda is looking back at our galaxy....wondering if anyone else is out there. Just like we are.
U know it !
@@done8140 you can only wonder you cannot know
No we are the only ones in the observable universe
@@Biscuit9891 I don't know how anyone could possibly know that. The observable universe is exponentially vast. As is our own galaxy.
Yes and what’s crazy is they woundt see any of us they’d still see dinosaurs and Pangea
I just discovered this channel and I am thrilled. Too many space documentaries I watch are too flashy and uninformative. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
You should check out Thunderboltsproject. This is boring assumption compared to what they are doing.
Big up to the camera man who floated threw space to film this
Right
Old joke
Big up to the orchestra that went with him too 👏
@@dannyflint5746 🤣
@Roger Abernathy no he meant the camera man that floated through space to film this.
Music goes so well with this presentation
Just imagine a trip to visit the sun in 8 minutes at lightning speed. Then onwards to Andromeda, a 2.5 million year trip.
And after a 2.5 million year trip to find out that the galaxy is not there, that in this time the galaxy was destroyed or engulf by a black hole. We need to travel there by multiplyers of speed of light or a worm hole to get there faster.
I've watched all of your videos in this series but this one is by far my favorite. Just the idea that there is a whole other galaxy visible from earth. Just fascinating
RolfeynatoR There should be a Pulitzer for this type of video research/production/ narration. I feel like I discovered David Butler while looking for non-scientist instruction way back when his followers numbered in the dozens. Seen his other series? I personally love the classical music which is so fitting for the topics. I have gone thru this Video Book probably 100 times. Congratulate Mr. Butler !
Thank you.
I want audio books read by this guy!
David has great taste in music. His selections are some of my most favourite. I would often study with these selections playing in the background. This brings me back to the good days of going to school, and now I wish I had taken astronomy more seriously.
Thank you David Butler for this video! It's an incredible view of a tiny part of our universe!
Our generation is so privileged. Within the last 100 years, we've seen things that countless generations before never could have dreamed of. There was so much beauty out there waiting to be appreciated. Thanks for this series!
You're welcome. I find it quite awe inspiring as well.
+David Butler
you deserve 10 million subscribers. Excessive ability to document. You are an extremely brilliant and intelligent person. Its good to know that there are great minds like you out there. God bless
Great mind which opens its doors for teaching everyone...
Superb, perfect level of scientific evidence, history and fact for, sadly, most of you people below to fail to appreciate. Beautiful. Stunning.
Most of the people below dont even believe space is real.
Pfft enough. What do you know
@@dougraddi908 Hi Doug, even with a cheap telescope you could see for yourself. Happy New Year anyway bro
This universe is beyond any imaginative scale or scope...and the "inevitable" life out there must be absolutely limitless! WOW!
And this is only our 4D material world. When you die your soul goes to the astral world which is so much bigger.
This video was so soothing to watch.... The images were fascinating and the music with narration perfect!
Space is so awesome! It’s mind blowing to see how immense the universe is through the eyes of Hubble.
Judging by some of these comments, its a wonder intelligent life evolved on Earth at all.
I like to think of it as, if we were all the same life would be pretty boring. Yeah unfortunately stupid seems to be contagious, hereditary, and too often irreparable. Bring on the aliens lol
One of the gems for backyard astronomers.
First time I ever left the city, walked out in the woods near the Pocono's, looked up at night, and wondered what planet I was on after seeing all those stars for the first time. Thank you for bringing back good memories.
I love this older format with the music 🎶, I love the pictures too. amazing
It gives me peace.
5:29 - the moment you learn “smaller” galaxies are orbiting big Galaxies. ::mind blown::
I get goose bumps when I watch stuff like this and contemplate is space is without end, with our borders ... no end!!! There is no other side (that we can discern) ..... My head is hurting!!!
Narrator dude is chill. Almost asleep. Maybe he’s a hypnotist. I’m soooo sleepy now.
Spectacular and super stunning glimpses of the unending creation called the universe. Absolutely nothing could be more gripping and hypnotic with intrigue. Absolutely nothing
Great video, beautiful soothing music.
I used to know name of this music... does anyone know it?
@@D45VR Borodin Nocturne and Elgar Enigma Variations.
Cartap how the hell would you know something like that???
Hats off sir!!!
This presentation was great. I will watch the whole series.
It's superbly narrated and presented Mr Butler. Thank you.
I was watching this in full fascination, with my mouth open. This is a fantastic video. Who downvoted this? Seriously, who downvotes this???
This isn't reddit lmao
Earth centric types.
Haters do that
Mr. Butler, I have watched this series so many times now, I could almost recite it from memory. Still, when you say "He knew he had another galaxy", I get goosebumps every time. How he must have enjoyed the feeling of being, for even a short while, the only man on earth to know for sure that there were other galaxies. Also, "It did NOT wobble" but that is for another time.Thanks again.
i just want this program to go on for 20 hours
Not gonna lie, this is like Beethoven's 5th symphony to me. Intoxicating.
Not really. 1:15 into this and I was almost asleep.
And somewhere way out there on Andromeda, they are certainly looking at our light arriving from some period in time. Amazing.
exactly what I was thinking! :D
Comic Book Guy Why is it highly improbable?
Well, considering that galaxy is about half again bigger than ours, it's even more likely for a civilization to be there than in our own galaxy. We know there is one here. We can't really judge the probability that there are others. And if we can see that galaxy with our naked eyes at this distance, then any life form that has eyes as sensitive as ours and an atmosphere as clear as ours can see our own. Ours would be a little smaller and fainter in their sky than they are in ours. So there are a lot of variables, but it isn't improbable.
Don't you know. God created the Universe and made us in his own image. There is nothing out there. We are utterly alone, and we will one day meet our maker and his son Jesus in heaven.
you can't prove it
I wonder how many worlds are like our own.
@Enjoy and Travel The World! yeah, no one knows, I've been wondering that...
I would like to take this time and express my gratitude, I greatly appreciate the work that you do.
How can anyone think we are the only life in the Universe? Impossible!
I have loved and followed astronomy and science but still cannot get my head around how big it is out there...and we think getting on a plane is far away...we aren't even planck length in scheme of things...
Jesus only crated one living thing. That be humen beens. You goong bern in satens hellfir Amen.
Mathematically improbable
A very nice summary of our neck of the woods. Thanks so much for making these! I wish we could tell the ancients what we have learned, not just the new generations. But, i know it is impossible. Still, we all can and do see and wonder for them, as once they have done the same for us, as we all do for all those who are yet to be. It is just a joy to be a part of it all. What else (or whom else) will find out there...
I want this guy to give my eulogy. I could sleep very peacefully listening to him talk. Very well done.
This guy is so smart he is absolutely genius and I love the sound of his voice it’s very calming relaxing not loud screech you like some other guys I can listen to this guy all day
Thanks P.J.
David Butler anytime David anything I can do to help support the channel. I want to see more of you. I am blown away by this.
The musical music is soothing
andromeda M31 It's called Nocturne (String Quartet No. 2 in D Major, Movement)
Wonderful, just wonderful, waiting for more
Ingvar, Norway
One of my favorite astronomy channels, along with DeepAstronomy.
Nocturne from String Quartet by Alexander Borodin is just perfect
ahahahahahahah...
Someday in the distant future, a starship officer would be venturing out into the universe at warp speed and find out Andromeda contains planets with advanced civilizations. That would be amazing.
I love watching these videos in the dark at night. Very relaxing ASMR.
STRING QUARTET (Alexander Borodin) Notturno
NeoNeoNeo thank you!
A Copernican moment, when Hubble realized that there were galaxies other than our own, and the universe became a really really big place.
Well presented video. I've suddenly realized I'm even smaller than I always thought!
what an enormous contribution this series is. THANK YOU.
There's nothing better, to me that is, than sitting in the study of my home, adjacent to the beautiful bookshelves & by the fire, coffee in hand reading or watching but definitely learning about space, time, cosmology & or astronomy all while classical music plays in the background. Oh, and with my baby puppy all snuggly in my lap or laying next to me on the floor. 🙂🐶☕🌎🌓🌠🌙🌗🌚🌟🌀
Pluto is like nearly 4 billion miles away. If that was scaled down to just a half a mm away, and Andromeda would be like over 2,000 km away (on the same scale).
My goodness!!
@@mohanpathak And it's every bit as crazy when we go small into the micro reality.
@@Justwantahover didn't get that. Could you please elaborate?
@@mohanpathak The distances in space are so vast that you have to scale things down a lot to get an idea. And you have to scale things up a lot for stuff like atom sizes and stuff.
Space.
If The distance of Pluto was scaled down to a half a mm, our Galaxy would be 100 km diameter.
Atoms.
If a nucleus was 1/8" diameter the whole atom would be the size of a house (and it's 99.999% empty space between the electron "shell" and the nucleus).
To be able to travel to these local galaxies is a fantasy of mine. I am very sure that we would find life in all these galaxies and possibly in all areas of the universe that has stars and maybe even in some dark regions, where life survives far differently then our own.
From there, on to the farther reaches of space.
Unfortunately it will just remain a mere dream for alot of us for thousands of years to come
There are ways to travel, but not how you think. Read William Buhlman.
Biohazard You just never know...
Beautiful, also with Borodin String Quartet
Thanks for these amazing videos! I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that people in 1923 saw their universe expand by such an immense amount. That must have been both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
The sheer vastness of the Universe and our knowledge of it being so has been one of the great discoveries of the human mind. We cannot be alone in this Universe. On some distant world orbiting a star in Andromeda, I bet there are sentient beings looking back at us and wondering what life might exist in the Milky Way. Not that they'll call our Galaxy by that name of course. And being sentient intelligent beings they'll guess that they are not alone either. Will we ever meet? Doubt it. The distances are just too great.
I don't think that would ever happen unless Humans or those other beings can figure how to live for Eternity. When the scope captured that light it left that Galaxy millions of years ago traveling at the highest speed.Its sad that humans will never get to visit those Galaxies.
The Fermi paradox.
I used a laser pointer and in Morse code flashed a message to Andromeda proclaiming our galaxy as the milky way. So I got you covered there. They'll be getting the message in a couple million years. I just hope I led it by enough. It's not really where we see it. It's been moving at 300 kilometers per second for 2.5 million years. So it's roughly 788 trillion kilometers away from where we see it now. Plus I have to double that for the 2.5 million years it's gonna take my message to get there. Maybe I should send my messages several times the way submarines used to spread torpedoes. What do you think?
Thank You so much David Butler Sir, for this mind blowing video with spectacular pictures & very nice graphical way of showing various Galaxy locations. Simply Awesome . 600 Billion Respectful greetings to you ( the same number of Stars as in our Milky Way ). 🙏🙏🙏👌👍🌹🌷🌿🌾🌻☘️🍀🌺🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful video you`ve made. With the music, it`s highly satisfying, well made and a great tour of our local group. I particularly enjoyed the star forming regions you`ve presented and it was highly informative!
i just want to write how relaxing the narration and notice everyone already comment on that
I love how the background music is the third movement of Borodine String quartet no. 2!
I showed this video to students in my Astrophysics course in Namibia University of Science and Technology, Windhoek. Many thanks.
Thank you for letting me know.
Both incredibly facinating and mind boggling! We most definitely are not the only eggs in God's basket. We are truly blessed to be here at all and even more so to realize the true vastness of the universe and just a handful of her secrets! We are but a speck on a piece of sand on a endless beach. Just to try and wrap my finite brain in basic theory around that concept is awesome to try. I truly believe we are only limited by our own thought processes and limited imagination. And only my ideology but Faith is so simple but yet far beyond the intellect of the vast mind. " The substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen ". Thank you Lord just to be here and have a shot at life itself.
His voice and the music are so relaxing. Love these videos
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you very much for putting together this absolutely beautiful presentation.
Tremendous shots & wonderful mind expansion .
Just found your stuff. Really well done. Very entertaining, interesting, and informative. Thanks!
You just found the best channel on CZcams my friend.
@@Marc98338 Yeah, Mr. Butler makes some excellent astro vids. Not sure how it would be labeled. Astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology? Anyway, I watch a lot of these sorts of vids from a lot of different channels. Fascinating stuff! Lots of open questions to answer, mysteries to solve!
Took me 8 years to beat the CZcams algorithm and finally find this channel and I watch a lot of space, astronomy and astrophysics videos.
Searches for exact subjects this gentleman posts didn’t seem to show up in searches for me, it’s like the algorithm just ignores his channel unless you luckily find it and subscribe.
This is one of the best and most beautiful videos on CZcams and I like to just rewatch it every once in a while.
M32 and 110 are always a welcomed sight, too. Love to see them in my 4" binocs, along with 33, which I refer to as "The Ghost Galaxy" due to low-surface brightness. I use Cassiopeia to find 31 in just a few seconds.
Very pleasant narration, soothing even.
This is one of the first targets I use for beginners in astronomy. It helps to put our place in the cosmos into perspective. Some nights it’s all I watch, spectacular.
That initial zoom in to Andromeda is simply breathtaking 😍.
New info suggests that our galaxy is actually much larger than originally believed. For years we've been told that the milky way was 100,000 light years across. Now scientists believe it's between 170,000 and 200,000 light years across. That would make it much closer to the same size as Andromeda
YES !!!
We are so insignificant when it comes to this point ..is just mind blowing
Your descriptions ... poetic to me.
This goes at the perfect speed on the right level for the whole fam.
Subscribed. I will now go to the update as suggested!
very soothing background music ideal for this cosmologic tour ....beautiful galaxy photos
Somewhere faraway someone is viewing the collision of andromeda and the milky way billions of years after it happened
No. The opposite,
If it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't happened.
Regardless
Its so sad and also beautiful how big the universe is, Its sad in the sense that its so big that we as humans may never get the chance to travel the stars.
I feel the same.
We still Kill each other over bronze age myths. Better keep it local until that's sorted out.
It never ceases to amaze me with how much we are learning to see within our first steps in understanding, and observing our universe. (Just think of how fast our progress will develop exponentially? ) Literally....the sky’s the limit.
3:30 - 4:00 is beautiful, esp with the music.
I absolutely love your videos. I am learning so much from you. Thank you for them!
I wonder if the people living in Andromeda have a similar Channel like this?
Hmm i wonder how much money they would get for a million light years long video that we could watch from their youtube...
I am watching all of your uploads several times because I'm learnign sooo much! Thank you for making quality vids for people to learn and increase their knowledge.
just found this channel tonight and i've watched at least 5 hours worth :) subbed up right away, what a teacher, thank you Mr Butler :)
Fascinating! Thank you for posting this!
Perfect music and commentary Mr butler. Thank you
My 17 year old son won a telescope in a contest at a local college when he was 11. Since then we have been in astronomy clubs and have had a great time learning this incredible science. It is a great idea to get kids into the sciences and arts as soon as possible. Its great for the parents too. I wouldn't know any of this if it were not for his initial interest. I plan to introduce this channel to him when I see him again.
I have started showing these to my oldest grandchild (7 years old). She's beginning to take note.
Awesome!!! Its great to watch the kids learn. She may soon run a local astronomy club in the community. My kid is acing every science class he gets. A plus last year in biology. This year he is loving chemistry. He is dyslexic but that isn't stopping him in those subjects. I wish your grandchild the best.
Fantastic David. The vastness, the almost endless timescale, the sheer amount of stars and galaxies. It's truly incomprehensible.
It's mind blowing to me that the universe go's on for ever. Infinite. If the universe ends,what's on the side?
@@alexvanroth175 Elvis
Great job on this. Fantastic narration. Thank you. I'll be looking for more of your videos.
Wow wow your voice, narrations, background music everything is incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much!!
Human life is too short. We will never reach Andromeda. Yet there are so much beauty in the universe. We don't even know what are missed.
Perhaps in our next life
I love the universe so much i named my new puppy Andromeda :D Thanks CZcams for recommending me this video in 2020
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
Arthur C. Clarke
We are not alone.
There has to be life like us out there.
no there doesn't but there probably is...
Isnt it interesting though, even though that sounds very likely, we have actually NEVER found any type of life. What does that mean?
That was calmingly well presented.
Thank you.
this is one of the best documentry on the galxcies i love the music which ads so much more to the wonder of the universe. thank you so much
sir, very nice narration, excellent pick of music and good content. the best part is you base everything on facts unlike others who speculate a lot. thumbs up from my side.
This was awesome. Thank you!
Your voice expresses beautifully the extraordinary nature of such knowledge and of such "things".
I'm glad this video has been uploaded twice. The other one didn't have subtitles
