    Its so cool to think that there are billions of others like Andromeda and the Milky Way. How this picture could fail to inspire awe in any human being is beyond my comprehension. The universe is simply amazing.. and we'll likely never understand its mysterious beauty.

    • @zonesquestiloveunderworld
      @zonesquestiloveunderworld Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@darthplagueis3488 That'd certainly be an interesting future, but I get the feeling that creating an interstellar empire is much, much, MUCH more difficult than we could ever possibly imagine. The universe almost seems "deliberately" set up to make things as isolated as possible, and to make travel between celestial bodies as technologically demanding and time-consuming as possible.
      I mean, just to get to our closest neighbour Mars takes 4 year... and once you start trying to incorporate other stars it just gets ridiculous; humans are far too short-lived to partake in such voyages.
      And then there's the notion of lightspeed travel (or faster), the various theoretical methods of which are always plagued by the same issues - they require a ludicrous amount of energy (more energy than is contained in the Sun), require extremely perdurable and resilient materials the like of which we haven't even begun to conceive of,
      ...or on the most rudimentary level, would simply be lethal to human beings - for starters, the insane g-forces that lightspeed would inflict upon any vessel would shred you in a matter of miliseconds (as they'd likely shred the vessel itself). Then there's the radiation - outside the Earth's magnetic field is one thing, but once you've left the protective shield that is the Sun's heliosphere you're exposed to the massive amounts of radiation coursing between stars, including high-energy gamma rays and x-rays; even a fleeting exposure to such an environment would be almost instantly fatal to any human. We don't yet have the materials to defend ourselves against such exposure; heavy radiation also damages electronic circuits and components.
      So we definitely have our work cut out for us. I think it's likely that we'll have colonised the Moon, Mars (+ its moons), and maybe the dwarf planet Ceres in the next 100 years, then possibly some of the moons of Jupiter - Ganymede, Europa and perhaps some of the smaller moons - as well as some moons of Saturn like Titan, Enceladus and Iapetus in the next 200-300 years... we might also have some floating mining facilities in the clouds of Venus (unless we can somehow substantially lower the atmospheric pressure globally, we'll never colonise the actual surface), and probably a whole bunch of mines on random asteroids throughout the belt, but outside of that I don't think we're gonna make much progress before we annihilate each other - or get annihilated.
      Honestly I think the only kind of "species" that could feasibly create an interstellar empire is artificial intelligence. The universe is massive enough that there probably are at least a **few** organic empires out there, but there's probably TONNES of machine empires, each derived from a now long-extinct organic civilisation... kinda crazy to think about, all these mechanical "descendents" of a species that went extinct a million years ago, still programmed with the behaviours and ideals of that species and effectively the last "survivors" of that species - if it weren't for them, there would be no evidence that their progenitors ever existed.
      Perhaps we'll suffer the same fate when our AIs surpass us. There'll be a whole society of machines that behave exactly like human beings, and that mimicry will be the only trace of us left!
      Anyway that's my story, wanna pass me the bowl?

That’s how it looked 8 minutes ago and when you see the moon that’s how it looked 1 second ago so if you saw the Andromeda galaxy then you would see 2.5M years into the past and if there is people on Andromeda and they use a telescope to look at the Milky Way.

    A lot of people mention how they are seeing andromeda as it was 2.5 million years ago. And that is amazing. But I also like to think about it from the perspective of the light itself and not necessarily the galaxy it came from. Think about the incredible journey these photons took. Streaking out of one galaxy, through interstellar space, through some of the Milky Way, for millions of years, at 670 million miles an hour. Those photons left on their adventure 2.5 million years ago, specifically for your eyes. They didn’t know it, but that was their destination all along. That was their destiny. You!

    I took a pic of Andromeda with my LG V20 last weekend. 30 second exposure at ISO 100. I didn't have it on a star tracker so it looks like crap but it's there.

      @@mawage666 some cell phones have surprisingly decent sensors, but a dslr will be better.
      With out a tracker you need to keep exposures to just a few seconds, regardless of camera.. I have found 10 sec max at wide angle. 3 sec max at 300mm. That requires a lot of exposures to stack but it is worthwhile to start. You learn as you go. I just got the star adventurer tracker and it works very well and a huge improvement in my shots

      I'm guessing that you like science and astronomy as much as I do. So I'm pretty sure that you've read many comments like Zerxxity's on other videos about the universe.
      Comments, in one form or another, pertaining to the possibility of life on other worlds.
      I have.
      I admit my reply to Mr. Zerxxity was sarcastic. It was to let him know that we didn't just fall off the truck. We're not like, "Oh man, I never thought of that, living things on other worlds! Oh wow. What a concept!"
      Come on Mr. Zerxxity, this is your moment and that's all you got!? Posting a comment that's been beaten to death.
      Sarcasm has it's merits.
      I don't know about you but I like creative, engaging, correspondence.
      In the end he was expressing his view like I was with my reply. So why does that make me a dipshit?
