A stellar history of modern astronomy | Emily Levesque
Visit TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
Astronomers once gazed upon the night sky and counted every star in the galaxy by hand. The process has evolved since then, but the thirst for celestial knowledge remains the same. Join astrophysicist Emily Levesque for an anecdote-rich jaunt through the technological history of photographing the cosmos and learn about the one constant that makes it all work: human curiosity.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

I love hearing Emily give her talks. She is such a great science communicator and obviously a great scientist.
The way she is excited shows how hard she is in love with Astronomy ♥️

Ever since I was 5, I wanted to be an astrophysicist. Currently, I'm in high school. Let's see if I can achieve my goals...

I'm enrolled at Georgia Tech currently pursuing my PHD. It has been a dream of my for as long as I can remember to become an astrophysicist, as well. It takes a lot of work, nearly everyday for 8 years, but it's a fascinating journey of learning and enrichment. It's not just about the goal, it really has been the most incredible opportunity of my life to be able to learn about all the things I have.

Amazing speech! My interest and love for aviation and astronomy has grown even more!
Wonderful. Thank you for your talk. I can imagine that watching this, young people will be inspired to study astronomy, and understand the humanity in the scientific method.
Great sacrifice, gives greatest success... ☺️
brilliant talk, I loved it!
This is incredible 💯
Amazing talk 😍
I wonder if she has books written? I would love to read them because she really shines brightly in her story telling and understanding. The tone she gives makes me want to start studying Astronomy and Physics. I mean why not
Incredible!!!!!!
Great video 👍

Bitcoin wobbled up into the start of this week’s trading session, moving between losses and gains on its neutral weekly outlook which makes it a tough decision for investors to decide how best to utilise the current market; for me it can’t be more obvious that trading bitcoin is way more lucrative than just holding and waiting for the price of bitcoin to skyrocket.

@David Hart I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from trading till I came across Bradley Barnes who helps investors and newbies who lack understanding on how bitcon trading works, recover losses from the crash and also stack up more bitcoin using his profitable strategies.

Ian Shelton is usually credited with the discovery, independently of Oscar Duhaide on the same mountain (Las Campanas). Also, plates were not bent before being inserted into the holder. The holder kept the plate bent, and after being taken out, the plate snapped back to flat again. Hubble's great discoveries of the 1920's and 30's were not made with the Hale 200-inch on Palomar Mountain but with the Hooker 100-inch on Mount Wilson at its broken Cassegrain focus, the observer sitting on a movable diving-board-like platform beside the telescope, nearer its bottom than its top. Hubble died soon after the 200-inch was fully commissioned circa 1950 and he was quite ill in the prime focus cage photo shown by Emily.

11:21 170 000 Light years away? I really thought there wouldn't be anything there? Isn't that too far to still be in the Milky Way yet too close to be in another galaxy?

Our galaxy, the Milky way, has two small satelite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. It’s thought that the Milky Way is around 100k light years in diameter, and our Sun is a little more than half-way out from the center, orbiting it once every 225 million years. The center of our galaxy is an extremely large black hole - a so-called super-massive black hole.

@@peterknutsen3070 didn't know about the satellite galaxies, thx! Only knew about the 100 000 lightyear diameter (which would make 170k well outside our "disk")
Her story on Hubble getting angry when the man turned on the lights is hilarious Is that true that the guy in the operating room started spinning him around and seriously though, we've come so far in understanding astronomy and how we study it that we don't need to be at the telescope to use it. That's crazy amazing that she operates from the safety of her own home in her private computer. I really want to learn about the universe and these beyond what is on Earth. Really, what is out there? Elon Musk is building a rocket to have people test their first footsteps on Mars. It's going to be amazing in that future! Wow!
Yeah i saw something with the naked eye also 😅 five new planets rise up out of the Southwest night skies and move right over our head and not one word from anyone not even nasa. Oh its a fact. Go look back through the archives . In 2015 it formed a pentagon or pentagram shape.
Ok
like ur body shape
I look forward to a day when astronomers take astrology over and reclaim their rightful name and birthright.
