My guess is that the view from the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds is pretty spectacular, given that we can see them with the naked eye. The Milky Way would therefore be visible to them, but much brighter & bigger.

So presumably there are many, many similar mini galaxies around all of the billions of galaxies we already knew about, such as the ones in the Hubble Deep Field image. The numbers just got even more crazy than they were.

Here's a possibility for you Anton. Just some points to maybe connect. 1. From SciAm (I think) article a couple of decades back, the Sag Dwarf is penetrating the MW at ~60° angle. 2. The solar system is kinda 'bouncing' above and below the MW disk. This seems an unusual path to follow for a star orbiting the MW centre. 3. The orbital plane of the solar system is ~60° to the plane of the MW disk. This seems unusual as it seems more likely a collapsing gas cloud would already have motion horizontal to the plane of the ME disk and so be more likely to keep that angular momentum when it collapsed. 4. Sirius is in a special relationship with the Sun - that's why the Egyptians used it for their celestial events. Unlike other stars it is not affected by Precession and so rises heliacally on the same day each year. 5. The Sag Dwarf is entering the MW not far from us. So, possible scenario - the Sun and some other nearby stars are captured from the Sag Dwarf. Maybe the Sun passed too close to Sirius and was trapped by an elastic collision into the MW, which might explain the 'bouncing,' the angle to normal disk rotation and the unusual relationship with Sirius. The 'other nearby stars' isn't necessary for this but some studies show a similarity in elements among the nearby group. I ahve no idea whether that might be coincidental or even, although different origins, the differences may be within tolerance of the study findings.

if its moving from one side to the other the mw has assimilated it already. the motion we see is it going through donut shape magnetic perturbation. like rolling around in side a pipe. we are just watching it get stripped and beat all too hell. the angle at 60° i think means it was heading to something else and meet us along the way.

Sirius is a much younger system, Sirius A being a type A0 or 1 and B being a white dwarf, already went thro it's short life cycle and now dead. If Sag Dwarf collided with the Milky Way 2 billion years ago, well Sol was already 2.5 to 3 BY old by then, Eartha already had life on it. I think it's more probably that when Sag Swarf collided, it created Sirius A and B from the dust and they anchored onto Sol, rather than Sol anchoring onto Sirius. The shift in Sol in relation to the disk of the Milky Way, well we don't really know if that's a new change or not, more likely that the wobble occurred from the extra momentum of crap from the Sag Dwarf impacting our region of the MW. Sirius was born then, anchored to Sol and the new anchor dragged Sol around. Plus, if the Solar System was from a dwarf galaxy, even just as a gas cloud, the molecule signature of stuff like phosphorus wouldn't match our neighbors, and we would have noticed that by now. Comparing Sirius to see if it's native to this region, now that there's never really been a need to check. Even if we did it might be a wonky result, such as partly native partly from the Dwarf b/c it could have been made from a mix of gas from both the fringe of the MW 'above' us and the gas from the dwarf itself. Anyway, biggest flaw with Sol being an extragalactic capture is the timeline is wrong, Sol is much older than the Sag Dwarf collision, so its at the very least NOT from Sag Dwarf. Sirius might be the capture instead, it is the much younger, newer star after all.

@Lusa_Iceheart

2 жыл бұрын

Type As like Sirius A only live on the main sequence for roughly 1 Billion years (had to consult google), so if Sirius was a capture from Sag Dwarf or formed out of captured gas, it was from a second or third pass, not the original event 2 BYA where it became captured. I'm not knocking the idea, just pointing the that the timeline simply doesn't work in favor of your theory, it's a lot of ifs and assumptions. Tho I would be interested in how such a young star system got synced so well with Sol or if it's pure happenstance. If we could identify what causes Sirius to be the Faithful Dog Star, always appearing like clockwork with no observable precession, it would give us lots of great insights into how stars interact with each other. So it is a valuable line of study.

During the birth of a major galaxy one could perhaps imagine that the rotation, resonances and gravity (over extreme distances) restricts the possibility for "smaller" vortexes to arise and only allows for them to form above and below the galactic disc, rather than alongside it. Or that it is only the minor galaxies above and under the major galaxies that survives while, their siblings that arise in the galactic plane gets sucked into the dominating mass much sooner.

Theory. If the force on the leading edge of the milky way pushes out gases then they would become compressed perpendicular to the axis. This could then lead to a drag in near the pole... Like when you drag a stick through water.

Hello wonderful Anton

My young daughter is starting to ask me more questions about space, stars & planets... especially because I've been teaching her SLOWLY but surely. 💪😎🤟 Today's lesson was helping her to understand the basics of how a solar system is just "several planets (& sometimes stars) orbiting a giant star or sun"... a galaxy is MANY, many solar systems + gasses... and 'outer space' can literally be a vacuous, fathomless black emptiness which stretches for multiple LY. She's already beginning to comprehend that 1LY = 6,000,000,000,000 miles (trillion). And... I've told her that there are indeed some stars which are MUCH greater than even 100 LR... ... but also that Earth itself is actually 'a pretty big place'. 😳 If you attempted to visit every city, one per day, from the day you were born until the day you died... you wouldn't even cover 1/16th of it.

@@thelazy0ne so all these dwarf galaxies are coming from different directions? Or are they coming from a relatively common direction? If they are distributed evenly around the milky way and all are moving toward, at least a quarter are being plowed over. So we measure our speed relative to other large galaxies. But our speed as a solar system is not necessarily the speed of the core of our galaxy nor is it indicative of its direction. Also if space is expanding, it isn't expanding at the same rate everywhere. For instance space is not expanding at the same rate between Galaxy A and galaxy B as it is from galaxy A to galaxy J. Likewise if space can expand as we are told it is it can as certainly contract. In fact it could contract in some areas while expanding in others and though you answer with a sense of certainty I am fairly sure we lack the tools and or resources to say anything the like with any sense of certainty that stems from anything short of hubris. We are to measure the speed of our galaxy based of the relative motion of another galaxy based upon what we see it was doing 21 million years ago relative to our present. We cannot say with any certainty that galaxy F still exists because we can only view it as it was millions of years before the dawn of humanity as a specie. I'm just saying, we make a lot of assumptions and our standard for acceptance as proof is quite low. If we observe one instance of an occurrence predicted by a theory we accept the theory as proven fact leaving us to explain other occurrences which behave contrary to the theory rather than saying maybe the accepted theory is wrong and we jumped the gun a bit. Instead we get a bunch of story telling and made up invisible forces to defend a failing theory as if it were your religion.

Do globular clusters have any remnants of having a plane before? How'd it evolve without a dominant rotation in a particular direction?

What is the name of the galaxy pictured at 7:00? That is one of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen

So the Milky Way is THE hungry hippo! TFS, GB :)

More evidence that the Milky Way is in a relatively empty section of space, was it always like this or is it a result of our consuming everything near-by?

Just the starter course before the big Andromeda food fight.

I knew a guy who drove a Ford, "Galaxy," he was leaning way back on the front bench seat, to tighten his belt when the entire front seat "broke," he ended up banging his head pretty good with his legs pointed to the roof, I guess you would call that a "Broken Galaxy!"

You can say Milkyway rips apart and is consuming those dwarf galaxies or they become one in a wonderful cosmic dance.

10:20 Think of a sink drain. They are spinning/circling the drain/black hole, a they fall into us.

Perhaps a way to describe it is that these dwarf galaxies are not orbiting the milky way but rather are falling into it.

Not that it isn't amazing anyway, but just think how amazing the night sky would look from a planet within the LMC or SMC. I suspect the view from one of the smaller satellites may be both just as impressive and rather dull, depending on the direction you look - somewhat like the view at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.

I wonder if anyone has considered putting together this idea with the one he did in a previous video where there are galaxies with very little new stellar formation. Perhaps they have not had much dwarf-galaxy interaction, and thus petered out.

Since stars far from the galactic core orbit too fast for the amount of matter we think is in the galaxy (hence the proposition of dark matter), where do these dwarf galaxies fall on that graph of orbital velocity versus distance from the center of mass?

I've always wondered if the origin of some globular clusters were not actually dwarf galaxies

Of course it is speculation. All "gas" is holographic reciprocating Singularity connection resonance, so pulse-evolution is spread out in fractal conic-cyclonic modulo-geometrical QM Bonding that applies full zero-infinity spectrum derived from Superspin-spiral Superposition Totality, Correspondence in a One Electron Theory type Perspective based on Logarithmic Time AM-FM Condensates. The Accuracy of Instrumental spectral analysis is restricted to 0-1-2-ness, hiding 0-1-2-3-4-etc exponentiation-ness sequences of atomistic structures.

Can we put dwarf galaxies into the cosmic network framework? Toward the end of the video, Anton seems to be hinting that they might come from the network.

Judging by location these galaxies could be formed from jets of central black hole when it was active

I think this is the case! Perhaps the previous grand collision/merger with the precursor galaxies of the Milkyway created these dwarf galaxies. Perhaps at at time time the poles of the galaxy was in the position the galaxies have now formed.

Let's face it, if we 'd had teachers like Anton, we'd all have paid a LOT more attention in class. LOL

would not the absorption of angular momentum either make our galaxy wobble or add to its rotational velocity?

Leave it to Anton to describe the Milky Way like a Lovcraftian cosmic beast that devours all that approaches it with the same chill tone as if he was explaining why stars twinkle or why the sky is blue. "Hello wonderful person this is your friendly KZread existential nightmare. Hope you enjoy the video."

From a novice view it looks like the centrifugal force would be too great to stay in orbit so the galaxies near the axis are retained due to less force on them. André

I have a thought on why these dwarf galaxys cluster above the Poles of the milky way. At some point in the history of Galaxy formation, the milky way had a quasar when the supermassive black hole at the center was feeding. This would have sent jets of gas and dust out of the North and South Poles of the Galaxy center. Some of this gas may have accumulated above and below the Galaxy center forming into smaller galaxys are a globular clusters. These dwarf galaxys are basically orbiting where they were formed.

Sounds more like the Milky Way is running into a population of dwarf galaxies that had formed from the same cloud and were minding their own business, that’s why they’re all along the same axis (the direction we’re moving in, relative to them).

I didn't think the Milky Way satellite galaxies would experience ram-pressure stripping! The intracluster medium of the Local Group isn't very extreme. But yes, pounding through the Milky Way will strip a lot of gas out of them. But they and all their gas will end up inside the Milky Way, triggering star formation.

Can you add some Maps for Purchase?

I was watching casually the video and then I realised what the map of all the "non" satellites galaxies represents. F-ing galaxies. And we're tracking their orbits and trying to figure what is slowing them down. And we are like 10^21 times smaller than them. Cosmic scales are so unbelievable. But what is even more unbelievable is that our minuscule brains can make some sense out of them.

I always get nervous when we speculate about the nature of things far too old, large, or energetic for us to even perceive fully. I must refer you back to Plato's views on our sense of reality, or bringing it up to our time, the Twilight Zone's story of the beings(i.e. toys) trapped in a cylinder, the outside 'reality' utterly unknown...and unknowable, to them.
