The fact that you're not actually seeing these galaxies are they ARE, right now, but rather as they WERE in the remote past is more than enough reason to just and sit and stare in awe and reverence. Absolutely, completely mind-boggling and so majestic and beautiful

As a child in the 1960's I became fascinated with Space. My fascination was fueled by the Space Programs of the 60's that culminated with our Moon Landings. Still, after all these years I can watch a video like this one with sheer awe. It never grows old. Thanks to Mr. Butler for posting all these great videos.

When you see all these galaxies and how big the universe is, you realize that we are almost small as electons in our wolrd. We are nothing more than noisy dust

Or perhaps every galaxy is a neuron and the Universe is just someones brain in a higher dimension... the stars are just brain cells and we are nothing more than thoughts.

Like Hector David's comment of 7 months ago; wonderful! delightful script, discriminating classical music in the background, and everything explained for the layman and a (very) amateur astronomy buff like me. (And no silly, gratuitous explosions/special effects we find on PBS Nova and the like) Cheers!!

Wow, the music in the background is an intermezzo from Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana! Love your channel.

Thank you for taking the time to make and post these videos. I have always loved astronomy but so much of the mainstream documentaries just show CGI dramatization or avoid giving actual information. These, on the other hand, are informative and honest. They have reignited my old curiosity by teaching me... and, well, I suppose I'm simply grateful.

I'm a virgo this just made my day after reading what it on (Lagunitas Supercluster Beer) I love being educated about these things so beautiful I love our planet and what is around us that keeps us going thank you for this I thank all of the universe .

This series has taught me more than all the dozens of documentaries I've watched on this topic. Thank you, kind sir! I am so lucky to have access to this!

I just can't wrap my mind around this.

jammintoast It is right. I've watched each of his videos multiple times and each time I understand or find something new that is mind blowing.

Local super cluster, 110 million light years in diameter. That is mind boggling. Speed travels at 186,000 mps, and if we sent any ship that could travel at 11 mps like the Viking space probes, to the Alpha Centauri binari star system, the closest stars to our sun, approx 4.5 light years away, it would take approx 70,000 years to get there.

"This is only one of millions of Super Clusters"...I don't think I will ever be able to comprehend the enormity of Space...just getting mental meltdown. Thank you, great video.

@DocEigen /Several decades ago a comedian named Don Novello played a delightful character, called “Father Guido Sarducci”, on some of the earlier Sat Nite Live shows. This character was sardonic and quite witty, and he was in a number of rather good skits. • Novello also had a side hobby, that of writing funny, wacky letters to famous people, or to various organizations, sent under the name of “Lazlo Toth.” Sometimes he added “Super-Patriot” to that name. • These letters eventually were published in a book which included the replies he’d got back - replies which invariably completely missed Novello’s underlying comedic thrust; each seriously, and inanely, replying to “Lazlo” in straight forward, simplistic fashion, no matter how off-wack Lazlo’s letter was. The contrast of Lazlo’s letters with these answers is rather funny. • However, there was one letter, a letter sent to NASA, where the reply significantly differed. At the end of the letter to NASA, Lazlo asked ‘how long’ would it take him to drive to Mars! The NASA reply was delightful. Clearly, the person at NASA replying adroitly had picked up on Novello’s tongue-in-cheek humor. After first responding to some initial comments in Lazlo’s letter, the ‘driving to Mars’ question was wryly answered. Lazlo was told that if he had started driving from earth at the same time as when Columbus left Spain sailing to the new world in 1492, that Lazlo only just now, at that current time, 500 years later, would finally be arriving on Mars. The writer also calculated the total amount of gasoline Lazlo would consume on his trip - commenting “assuming you’ll be driving there in your VW bus, at 25 miles per gallon” - and included how much it would cost Lazlo, “at current gas prices.” NASA’s letter concluded by wishing Lazlo ‘happy motoring’. I always wanted to meet the person at NASA who wrote this clever response. The world needs more mirthful people.

Absolutely phenomenal. Great video David

I've been studying cosmology/astronomy for 25 years. The more I learn about it, the more baffling it is to me. But that's a wonderful thing. What else can you study for so long and still have more questions than answers? Some of what I've learned so far include: We are rare and special; The one thing for sure about our existence, is that it is NOT pointless; There is such a thing as the sacred--we are a product of sacredness, and one tangible aspect of our purpose is to sanctify the lives for which we were created; Life is not simply the sum of time + matter + chance.

you are an amazing educator David thank u for your series, u are blowing me away all the time

I've been attracted to astronomy since I was a young child. I remember telling my Mother at 15 in 1980, that I felt that every galaxy had a black hole in its center that acted as an engine. In my mind, that was the only thing massive enough that could explain the pinwheel motion I saw in pictures, as there was no internet, just books.

I saw structures like that in small pieces of fog that got separated from the main cloud. When the small pieces of fog inside the wind current were rolling around (but not breaking up) while they moved slowly in one direction was a cool site to see. It was a 3D show. It was as if I was seeing different filament structures consisting only of dark matter moving in 3D. I've been watching the fog now differently. One set back to seeing the fog structures tho is that the conditions ,I think, have to be the same as it was that day I first noticed them because I'm not seeing it again lately. Anyone else noticed?

I am more into Star Trek ( though I loved Star Wars as a teenager in 1977. It was so strange to me when somebody from back then just had written to me, telling she 'educated my son zo be a Star Wars fan just because of you'. I had almost forgotten how much I once liked it, and it was so strange to meet after nearly a whole life somebody again and to go back to the little girl I once have been! So incredible much came back!) Anyhow; what I wanted to say is: I love that people took the time to make a map which point(s) in the galaxy the Enterprise ( I only love TOS) has reached! So incredible to look at it! As a child I thought they flew crisscross the universe. But it was really just neighborhood, so to say. Anyhow, I wished I could fly there, too. This is the only thing what gives me comfort when it comes to death. When Carl Sagan died, whom we loved, and I was sad because shortly after a comet came and he could not see him, my Mother said' he rides now with it through space and sees all its wonders'. And when she died this was what helped me: to think now all her longings can calm down. I look into space and cannot reach it. She finally could. When I will die, the first thing will be to look for her. And then we visit the pillars of creation, stargazing again, as we did my whole life until she had to leave me.

I have seen your encouragement to ask you any questions. So I try : Saul Perlmutter uses in his explanation of the discovery of the accelerating univers a diagramm, called "Expansion History of the Univers". In this diagramm, the right coordinate axis, which has intentions : 1. The time till now of the explosion of a SN Ia and 2. The relative brightness of this SN Ia. My question is : Is there realy a fix correlation between these two intentions, independent of the concrete history of expansion?

Interesting question. You can construct a spiral shape from a Fibonacci series. Nature grows cell by cell and can often generate spiral shapes with the growth pattern mimicking the series (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,...). Galaxy spiral arms can be connected to the series just because they both generate spirals. There is no known physical connection like there is with cell growth patterns.
