Please never stop making these! Especially this slightly longer more in depth format with Prof. Merrifield. Keep them coming!

Welcome back, Professor Merrifield 🖖

Thank you Professor Merrifield. Keep these amazing video's coming. They are fantastic! Thanks to Brady for making this possible.

Imagine the view from one of those lonely stars

A completely black night sky, except for a few diffuse blobs of weak light from nearby galaxies. To human eyes at least.

I could listen to Professor Merrifield for hours!

Professor Merrifield is great on the channel. Watched all the videos at least twice so thanks for the educational entertainment.

Always good to see a Mike video. My favorite cosmologist!

Great and interesting video, as usual! BTW: Iain M Banks's "Against a Dark Background" takes place on one of those isolated stars.

The plot at 5:47 would make a beautiful pattern for cross stitching.

Or diamond painting!

Thank you, Professor. Thank you, Brady. Thank you, Steven Ehlert et al for the pretty screenshot I took 6 minutes in. This video was a lot of fun :)

One thing you can guarantee is that the professors backyard photo wasn't taken in July as I reckon we didn't have a clear night for the whole month!

This is my fav youtube show i watch. Please continue ❤

10 out of 10 possibly the most interesting episode yet. All of them continue to delight! Question; Far Ultraviolet is beyond our visible spectrum so what would it look like if we could look at one of these Ultraviolet stars

Are we not talk about the fact that there was several times mentioned "Hook feature" and it was not explained in the clip?

Yes to doing the Abell Catalog!!

1:34 yes please!

Yey. A DSV That doesn't make you wait until the end of the Universe for some payout.

I didn't know that Bremsstrahlung was a technical term even in English. Braking radiation is not so far off that I'm surprised it isn't used.

any diffrence from treating the star forming region as very faint darwf galaxy?

Just curious. Is Mike wearing two watches?

The other one is a blood pressure monitor.

So the Black Hole jets is what caused the Hook shown in the photographs?

What about the hook feature???

You let your patrons float through space?!?!

Love these videos but when I hear the Prof talking about gas densities etc it's always a conundrum to me, a typical bloke who only knows air pressure and a pressure cooker. As I also happen to know a fair bit about the Ionosphere (thanks to ham radio) could the good Prof offer us some idea of what the density of this galactic gas is?

Somewhere around 1 to 10^6 molecules per cubic cm. For comparison, near Earth's surface, it's about 2.7*10^19 molecules per cubic cm.

@@jursamaj Thank you. 10^6 molecules per cubic cm is roughly the Ionospheric density at the F2 layer (300km up). Helps to visualize in my mind.

Aren't galaxy clusters some of the least habitable locations due to the super heated interstellar gas and huge amount of x-rays?

What's up with all the people having their own catalogs? What would we have next, Brady Catalog, or Professor Poliakoff Catalog, heck if Elon Musk gets his own space observatory, we'll get an X-Catalog. All these catalogs makes it really diluted and frankly feel like a scam. MESSIER CATALOG that's it, there should be nothing else besides that.

First?
