The Milky Way: Our Home Galaxy in the Cosmos

Ғылым және технология

This is the twelfth lecture series of my complete online introductory undergraduate college course. This video series was used at William Paterson University and CUNY Hunter in online classes as well as to supplement in-person course material. Notes and links are present in the videos at the start of each lecture.
0:00:00 - Our Cosmic Address
0:14:51 - The Great Cosmic Distance Debate
1:06:29 - The Milky Way's Many Faces
1:35:14 - Stellar Neighborhoods: the Population I and II Stars
1:53:35 - The Galaxy's Formation, Evolution and Fate
2:13:31 - The Milky Way's Spiral Arms
2:39:57 - Dark Matter in the Milky Way and Beyond
3:24:06 - The Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of the Milky Way
(Correction: William Parsons, The Third Earl of Rosse, was Irish, not British. Apologies to the Irish viewers out there!)
Now we start the process of learning our place in space, by learning about our Cosmic Address. Where is our place in the universe? What is the scale of the Cosmic Map? After that, we learn the history of the Great Cosmic Distance Debate. The development of our understanding of our place that was just described is one of the great stories of modern science. The people of the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th were just learning about what was out there. Their fierce debates and competitive drives were spurred on by their insatiable curiosity. We learn of great women pioneers in science, and we learn that the painstaking measurements of the distances to the nearest galaxies led to one of the most surprising findings of all time: the expansion of the universe. We then take a step back and look more closely at our home Galaxy, looking at full-sky images in many wavelengths that detail exactly what makes up our home. Next, these simple observations, combined with spectroscopic analysis gave rise to the discovery of two broad types of stars in the Milky Way, the practically-named Population I and II Stars. This gives us the basis for understanding that all stars and therefore our galaxy, changes with time. Armed with this understanding, we reach into the deep past and the deep future, as we explore the formation, evolution and fate of the Milky Way. We jump around in our discussion to the factories of star formation, the spiral arms. We show the evidence for them in our Galaxy, and we see our Galaxy as one among many. Following that, we see great anomalies in the way our Galaxy rotates, and how the spiral arm structure evolves. By studying this motion, astronomers discovered that there was something missing. A lot of stuff was missing. The Galaxy is rotating faster than it should when we take into account all the matter that emits light. We learned that most of the matter in the cosmos doesn’t interact with light at all, and was named Dark Matter. Last, we learn about the behemoth black hole residing in the core of the Milky Way. A central place of exceeding violence that’s safely placed many tens of thousands of lightyears away. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, SGR A*, belies its presence through its influence on stars and gas clouds in its local environment. It's the nearest such black hole, and there is ample reason for us thinking it actually is such an object.

    That’s great! These videos weren’t made with 12-year-olds in mind. But if she is into them, and really likes talking about them, find all the STEM resources you can and get them to her. School resources won’t be enough. I took college classes proper in 8th grade and was fully enrolled at university before 9th grade. I graduated high school with half a computer science major done. I ended up with an excellent career. I still went to and finished high school, I just had permission from the high school to take classes that were not currently offered. If she is great at math, then have her follow the path of my mother who dropped out of high school to go to college and become the youngest graduate student at Harvard at 19.

    I've only been a visitor, but I have gotten to see the night sky from the summits of Mauna Kea and Halealala, both views were so dark and clear that it took me more than an hour to re adjust to the constellations, because for the most part, I could barely tell which one I was seeing. There were so many more stars visible, and they appeared so much more uniform in brightness that I struggled to find even the most obvious landmarks otber than the Milky Way.

    Great lecture series, I really appreciate it. It's helping me big-time to place individual knowledge into a broader picture, meanwhile I'm getting the occasional revelation, such as the spiral arms of a galaxy not being spirals at all really, but are instead individual blobs of gas and stars in their individual orbits that are currently lining up to show us a spiral as we take a snapshot. The spiral is a lie. I found a fun little blooper at 3:14:40 as G350.1-0.3 was called a "galaxy emitting cluster", hehe.

    Thanks for the blooper find. When I get around to remastering this video, I'm sure I'll fix that. And actually, the spiral isn't a "lie", it is what we see if you aggregate the view. That is similar to saying that a cloud in the sky is a lie because it's an aggregate of water droplets. Or a dog is a lie because it's really a collection of diverse cells, most of which are non-dog bacteria.

    Cosmology is the study of the entire universe. It used to be the purview of religions, which tried to explain Where It All Came From. But now, we understand so much more. It is now a precision science. Religions still give each their own human-centric interpretation of “Why Was This Made For Me”, and “What Is It All For”? Science seeks to understand the reasons for the natural phenomena that are in abundance. We now have the tools to understand how the universe has changed and grown from the very earliest times. Scientists debate and research the boundary points of knowledge, not resting on or aiming to reinforce one final story, in the manner of a religion. The goal of science is to offer explanations to what’s observed, and see if they fit and if they fruitfully lead to more questions.

    One quibble - "you can see the sky as it was MEANT to be seen." It wasn't "meant" to be seen. It just is.

    Each stars has their own god/jesus who went down to their Earths to teach inhabitants😂 Jokes aside, can we say that the observable universe is filled with other humans, given that physics applies everywhere else in the universe?

    One can always say that, but when dealing with it as a scientist might, one must always gather evidence to support an extraordinary hypothesis.

    Famous science fiction, notably Star Trek, have a theory of convergent evolution to explain why all of the aliens look human/humanoid. It was a little handwaved because they couldn't make good looking ALIEN aliens back then. You may also be interested in Steven wolfram's computational physics research, where the evidence is pointing to physics being this way because we observe them this way, and if you get far enough away physics may actually work differently. Just some food for thought. Cheers!

    I admire and apriciate the plead for change. But then you know.... A calmness settles over you and then suddenly Elon goes supernova implodes back on himself... Only to eventually vapour, radiate into entropy. I'm wish I'd still had fate in mankind overcoming the discrepancy between their theoretical best odds and their practice. Though we are strong when the masses unity and God is dead, we are moving towards more individual, we are confused and may fear the future challenge which causes a vulnerability towards populism, lack of optimal rational change collectively in the right direction... But we are in motion and with increased velocity. The energy needed to / time = the apple on tree - out of reach moving away. Unless AI comes up with a backup plan to save the day. But if I were AI and would try to come up with ways to improve the conditions for earth to host life... Uhhhh ups.
