    10 years ago, when this series started I lived in a house that had number 108 in a street starting with the letter M, so we called the house M108 for short. I joked about it being the M108 galaxy, and waited for this video to appear. Finally it's here, but I moved out. Some of my best years I lived in M108, with great friends.

    I feel kind of sad that we're done with the catalog. I think it's time to start on the initial NGC ( those not also in the Messier catalog, of course). There's only 7,840 objects in that... should keep you busy...
    Thanks so much for these wonderful videos.

    • @davidfoss4365
      @davidfoss4365 Před rokem

      There are lots of cool objects in the NGC and IC catalogs that Messier missed. This would also be a cool channel to see new Kepler discoveries and some of the HUbble Deep Field objects.

    Incredible to see this project completed!! I started watching I think around the start of high school........ and earlier this year I graduated undergrad with my astrophysics degree. Videos like yours both inspired me to follow that dream and to work in science outreach while getting my degree, which brought me endless joy. Truly, truly, thank you for everything. 💖

    "Back-smang." :D
    I thank this channel for introducing me to Dr. Becky and other scientists whose channels I now also subscribe to. These fascinating pieces of content are the only reason I have to interact with CZcams.

  • @noman-754
    @noman-754 Před rokem +9

    Congrats to the channel and professors. What I loved is that it was not just random discussion on each object. It was properly researched and narrated by professionals. It took 10 years. But all videos were on point. My suggestion is to redo some early videos since we have come a long way in research in last 10 years so some objects might need update.

  • @Hellbenderarms
    @Hellbenderarms Před rokem +6

    Great videos. The personalities of the professors and Brady make these special.

  • @michaelroberts5557
    @michaelroberts5557 Před rokem +5

    Must have almost seemed a fool's errand at the start. Now you've completed the catalog! Congrats on a classy job throughout. I've been with you for most of the journey, counting down the final vids with anticipation. But I think that crossing the finish line warrants more celebration than just: Oh, by the way, we're done. How about a 45-minute retrospective with all the professors, recent discoveries and updates from the earlier objects, "making of" tid bits, what's next announcement, songs, etc.

  • @lambdabaryon

    Can't wait for your next episode on the M113 armored personnel carrier. Jokes aside, I've only just discovered this channel, but I'm astonished how you've been consistently making the Messier series for a decade. Congratulations on reaching 110 Messier Objects!

  • @notforwantoftrying1

    Congratulations on completing the catalogue, I'm sure I have watched every single one over the decade I have been a subscriber.

  • @davidhiraki4938
    @davidhiraki4938 Před rokem +1

    Amazing to see this project completed after over a decade! Looking forward to seeing what is next for the channel!
    If you're looking for ideas, I'd love for a series on our solar system, sort of a cross between "Moon of the Week" and Periodic Videos. You could do an updated video on each planet (and the sun, of course), and then dive into the dwarf planets, moons, and asteroids.
    Love your work! Can't wait to see what is next!

  • @sylak2112

    would love to see a final recap vid featuring as many previous Messier contribs as possible to talk general legacy of the catalogue....
    But congrats on the last of them - all enjoyable, even all those open clusters.

  • @davidfoss4365
    @davidfoss4365 Před rokem

    [Off topic] Hi Brady, I tend to approach science at a personal level so I love the 'list' approach you've taken with Deep Sky Videos, Periodic Videos and some of your other channels that lets me get to know these individual things personally. There is another list that no one on CZcams seems to be talking about if maybe you'd consider it. It is Hadrons (pions, kayons, b mesons and the other mesons and baryons). Everyone seems to talk about the fundamental particles, but from the little I've been able to learm the Hardons have some really interesting stories.

  • @patricescattolin43
    @patricescattolin43 Před rokem +2

    Well there is the "Finest NGC" or the "Caldwells" as a successor. There aren't southern hemisphere explicit lists and it's a shame because there are several nice objects there that would deserve treatement (the Magellanic clouds for instance)

    I would think that IF spiral galaxies can have odd number of spokes that it would be unusual that the center of mass would be the center of the image when looking at it edge on.

  • @leonhardeuler3140
    @leonhardeuler3140 Před rokem

    Brady, have you considered creating videos for some of the Caldwell Catalog objects? There are some great gems in there that I think would make for fantastic videos, and they also extend well into the southern hemisphere.

  • @Veptis
    @Veptis Před rokem +1

    Some of the most fun videos on numberphile are the joke debates. Like pi vs Tau or decimal versus dozemal etc.
    I wonder if you could get two contributes to this channel and present one of the bigger debates in astrophysics. Main difference being that mathematics are kind of a choice, so there are opinions. While astrophysics are just insufficient theories.

    @pilby457 Před rokem

    If an 85 solar mass and a 65 solar mass black hole merged together to produce a 142 solar mass black hole, does that mean 8 solar masses worth of matter was lost as energy? Now that is mind-bending.
