A New Breakthrough: The Two Faces of the Small Magellanic Cloud

Ғылым және технология

In this video, I will tell you about the exciting discovery that the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way, is actually composed of two smaller galaxies, one behind the other. I will explain how this discovery was made, what are the differences between the two parts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, how they are interacting with the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way, and what does this discovery mean for our understanding of the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud, and for our understanding of the Milky Way and its satellite galaxies. This is a very important and fascinating discovery, and it will blow your mind!

    There are “only” 3 billion stars in this tiny dwarf galaxy SMC, almost nothing! Small Magellanic Cloud = 3 billion stars / Large Magellanic cloud = 30 billion stars In the Large Magellanic Clowd (LMC) we can even find a stellar-mass black hole... Nice lecture, tks. NSN!

    I saw this with my own eyeballs. That's one of the most amazing things about it all... How everything anyone can see in space is documented and categorised.

    would being low in metal elements change the odds of life or intelligent life existing in that galaxy ?

    Stunning beauty. Nothing like it anywhere else. If I had a telescope 🔭 I'd never leave it. 😅😂😂

    Imagine the night sky from the 1000s of planet in our "little" neighbors.. The Milky Way is probably SO vibrant

    We think of metals as those elements that occupy the bottom left triangle of the Periodic Table of the Elements. Astronomers have a different view. An Astronomical Metal is defined as everything that is NOT Hydrogen or Helium.

    If heavier elements are created when stars go supernova and explode are we able to observe these exploding stars profusely given there are so many millions of them

    I would think that heavier elements would be created by a stable unexplosive area of the Universe, where protons have a chance to attract to each other

    Also, galaxies don't form quickly, and they naturally go to the spherical formation

    This is just my thoughts, I am big fan of NASA

    Свет это упорядоченная вибрация гравитационных квантов. Постулат 2. Гравитационные поля влияют на свет через; скорость в вакууме, направление, частоту.

    Not at all an expert, but... If the Milky Way disrupted the LMC and SMC, wouldn't the Milky Way itself show more signs of disruption?

    Go watch a semi hit a sub compact. See if that bothers the truck.

    What has happened to Hubble, and the James Webb telescopes? Are they ok, or have they been overuled?
