Videos like this teach about the difficulties of this work and it's unique to be able to see the whole process. Really makes you appreciate the work Nik and others do!

In the Star Trek TNG episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" the enterprise travels two galaxies over to a galaxy they identify as M33 which was 2.7 million light years away! Pretty cool scientifically accurate detail.

They travel, to Triangulum? How?

You're channel has completely enthralled me. I studied astrophysics in high school and found it immensely interesting, but have not often come across the subject in my day to day life until now. I think the general knowledge and wonder you are imparting is a great gift to the human species.

Nothing better than coming home from school to see a Deep Sky Video uploaded.

I have observed M33 quite a few times through scopes, but I have only observed it naked eye twice in all my years of staring at the night sky. Both times were at exceptionally dark sites. It is difficult but not impossible. Keep posting excellent videos. Scott

The inerest in his eyes as he was talking about the telescope.... Wow... Inspiring.

Why don't you visit Nik on a clear moonless night? It seems that it is always poor conditions?

Nik's happy face is adorable!

I love that animation of a black hole ripping a sun apart. Nom Nom. Black holes are badass!

4:18 " _do the black holes cause the bulge or is the bulge a symptom of the black holes_ " erm....that's the same thing. :) :)

they are talking about something more closely connected than by mere coincidence. Symptoms don't just happen randomly they reflect the presence of something. The pain you feel (symptom) is caused by the stomach bug you have picked up (cause)

In the same conversation Mike answers Brady's question with; Merrifield: "if you new that you'd get a lot of Q-dots in astronomy" what is a "Q-dot", is an award of some kind or recognition for achievement . I am guessing that it's roots are in favor for use in British terms and/or slang.

Ed Smith He says ‘kudos’ which is the Greek word for ‘glory’. You give someone kudos in recognition for an accomplishment.

Woah! That looks so cool! Will download it as soon as I can. Thanks for sharing this!

The moment around 6:15 when he's all about collapsing stars and I noticed the car and the people running outside in the window... woah. What a perspective shift.

Love these videos !!! Keep 'em coming !!!

Why isn't there software that grabs a frame from the CMOS sensor every few seconds or so and combines them in software rather than on the sensor? This way you could just throw away the one frame where a satellite passes through and lose a few seconds and not the whole exposure.

M33 is the galaxy The Enterprise traveled too in season 1 of Next Generation when the Traveler sent them speeding beyond warp 10

Its fun to see a video about the galaxy which is simple and funny.

Great video to begin your day with. Thanks!

When we were observing M33 a few weeks ago (I study Astronomy) we also picked up 3 satellite trails within 10 pictures or so! Must be something wrong with it ;)

@flib08 glad to oblige!

He said "Kudos"

Ok, thanks for the insight :) I assumed they would whizz through the image within a few seconds.

very interesting stuff, thx

M33 is a toughie.

There is a very popular music group called M83 named after the spiral galaxy, it could be fun to do that one

Brady, You should be kinder to your astronomer's. Bright moon & clouds? Common they're not wizards. Also since this was a relative undisturbed galaxy and no detectable black whole, I've 2 questions. 1. Does this imply a younger galaxy and the black hole is created later? Yes, they would need many examples. 2. Is the star orbiting speed distribution clearly show dark matter or not perhaps implying dark matter at least early is there and trails off visa vi M105?

Interesting galaxy! This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time! This theory is based on just two postulates 1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ or probability function represents the forward passage of time itself 2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w-function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

@Micr0chiP there are lots of mitigating factors but I think the current estimate is actually around 4-6billion years till the sun starts to run out of fuel.

Is the black hole causing the bulge or is the bulge a symptom of the black hole? Huh? what is the difference?

@goddeh69 how often do you get to photograph satellites! ;)

Guess I'm not the only one always having trouble photographing that damn galaxy 😂 it's so elusive

ARRRGGGG... I can't wait 6 more years for James Webb. I want it now!

Lol - this comment was left 7 years ago....

because the satellite wouldn't pass through in just a few frames; yes they're moving very quickly but because they're orbiting at least 10 miles up, their angular speed is relatively slow. So for such a long exposure, for example 60 seconds, it may be in the FoV for around 10 seconds, which would mean you losing 1/6th of your data, not to mention the fact it would pollute the image more than just the trail you see. You can always just take a new image anyway :)

@igext we will...

I am lovin' it

Seems like matter makes its way to galactic center, churns around a super-massive object that converts it to ions and gamma radiation which shoots out perpendicular to the galactic plane.

Since the Triangulum does not have a bulge nor supermassive black hole, can we look for Solar Systems there? After all, in 2 billion years both the Andromeda and Triangulum will be close enough for us to cross over to.

you rock brady! how many clones of you are there?

0:29 I didn't know Michael Palin was an astronomer!

That filter he is holding is very expensive.

Will m33 collide with the milk-dromeda galaxy

The Milky Way is probably a *ringed* barred spiral galaxy that would appear something like UGC 12158.

i have one of those moon posters :)

No, the Triangulum galaxy IS Messier 33, or M33.

It's not a "chicken and egg" scenario, we don't know the answer to this one.

that filter is I am sure as expensive as my whole setup.

More links and info in the full video description

@QwoPhasaArius maybe, but it seems, and not just from this video, but when he annoyed. No disrespect to Nik Szymanek intended.

To often!

2:18 lol calm down Brady

They say that there is no middle buldge, then they say thats all you can see............

First, and in another video, I heard him say shit-load when he said "shed load". In this video, at 4:25, he says "kudos" but I had to listen to it three times to stop hearing "cute ass". My UK to USA translator appears to be tuned to "curse word". ;)

1:47 I found the vault!

we knew 10 years ago that the bulge is light... just he didnt know

@666pecker666 Oh that's right, I forgot... I can't read. Thank you for reminding me.

better then science class XD

"... a few million solar masses, which is a typical size for these black holes." Said in the dispassionate tone usually reserved for such banalities as "the ocean is salty." It's pretty cool to live in an age in which a black hole with a Schwarzschild radius that makes Earth look microscopic is like any other dull crap lying all over the place.

@Superphilipp Har.

"a few million solar masses" he says that so casually

Hurr... "bulge in the middle"... derp. Sorry.

@Supacalaz Our sun doesn't have enough mass to become a black hole, it will expand to a red giant eating Mercury ,Venus and roasting Earth.... 2 billion years from now i think, so no need to get all crazy :)

Theres a alpha ceph

KONY 2012

Who else clicked on this thinking it was a new M83 song?

:D

There will be a black hole in the middle of the galaxy

.... why does he always say 'probably a spy satellite' ? is he aware there are 'good' satellites as well or is he just a bit paranoid ?

its not a spy sat its a ufo lol

why dont these guys get some knowledge and take out m33 from the bracket because there is no galaxy known as m33 galaxy and trianglum is not m33 galaxy m33 was a galaxy's name used in crysis 3
