Is the Southern Ring Nebula going to be a Type 1A Supernova in the course of time? White dwarf with a companion star, isn't that what leads to it?

@LaunchPadAstronomy

Жыл бұрын

It's quite possible. It usually requires a very close binary system where the companion dumps an overwhelming amount of matter onto the WD. Hardly an implausible scenario, however.

Christian, thank you for this fantastic presentation of the early analysis of Webb's First Images - tremendously exciting! Special thanks for showing exactly where the Carina Cliffs image was taken in the sky. One question I have about the Southern Ring, which I think also applies to the northern ring (M57): What do these nebulas actually look like in space? Are they spherical? Why do they appear like "rings"? I've read that some astronomers believe that possibly they are toroidal. Thank you for any insights you can provide.

Hi Dan, thanks for the kind words! Sorry it took me so long though, ugh! The rings are likely equatorial outflows, which on some level makes sense as the star is rotating. There may also be a circumstellar disk surrounding the star as well. Both would channel the thinner, faster outflow into an hourglass shape. In the case of both ring nebulae, we're looking down the top of the hourglass. We can verify this model by measuring the doppler shifts of the ring vs. the central gas. Granted, that's a bit simplified as there are so many other complex dynamics at work, especially in a binary system like the one we have here!

Please make one video breaking down one interesting piece of one image. Your explanation of the cosmic cliffs brings the whole thing to life. What parts of the image illustrate the affect of the giant stars interfering with the protostar growth? What parts of the image show the actual protostars? Are all points of light within the cloud protostars or are some of those light sources distant stars? The nebula is only 7600 light years away, so these protostars are built with pretty old matter. What percentage is hydrogen vs heavier elements? What's the heaviest element that we've observed contributing to star formation? What's the heaviest element theorized that could contribute to star formation? Man, thank you so much for starting this channel. You're an excellent resource.

Great explanation, but I wish you would use a pointer when describing things so we know what part you are talking about. Like “…are getting blasted by the hot stars above…”. Which ones are the hot stars? There’s so many!

Christian: When do you think we’ll have the first pictures of Proxima b? It would be good to see if there are any extraterrestrial activity by analysing its atmosphere etc.

that was my initial guess as well about the gravitationally lensed galaxy

Brilliant video as always... Can you please tell us about the cosmic maps you used at 1:40 and 6:35 ..... From where did you got that 3D map of the universe ? I desperately want a 3D atlas of the universe like that... Will you please tell me about that..? I would be very thankful to you...

Thank you for this very detailed explanation! Are they naming the newly found galaxies and stars already? What will the process be for this if ever?

Mind blowing imagery. The detail is mezmoring. You mentioned the distance to the Carina Nebula is about 7600 light years. Any idea what the distance is that spans the Carina Nebula image from left to right? One more question. Why does the Southern Ring Nebula image look like a cross-section? Its like the nebula was cut in half. Is it literally open to space on the side we are seeing? It reminds me of those geode rocks that when cut in half reveal a layer of gem crystals lining the inside.

Could you please share links to where the public can get access to the raw data / images?

Best analysis so far on KZread... other videos were made for simpletons

Thank you for the review. My question: is this possible to correct difractive distortions with inverse transformation? If we know instrument's transfer function which causes distortion we can create inverse transformation to correct image, right?

"We were finally able to witness the power of this fully operational..." Battle station? I mean, it *is* in space and *does* have a huge dish to concentrate energy.

Love the channel. Thanks for the content. I have to admit, he said "We were finally able to witness the power of this fully operation space telescope...", my brain heard "witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station." Sorry for distracting the science with science-fantasy. Carry on.

WIDE WORLD WEBB!

Dozens of supernova explosions accompany a smaller ball opposite of the main explosion, I wanted to know what information can be retrieved about the central singularity. JW pictures will provide a heap of valuable information.

Dear, creator can you please make a vedio on gravitational lensing??????

Hold on a second there. You say the infrared spectrum is mapped to colours in the visible spectrum. Question is, is their an attempt to project those images as they would be viewed if the wave lengths hadn't been stretched out by expanding space? Does the colour we view as orange, in infrared have slightly longer wave lengths in infrared than the colour we view as yellow. Would that orange be orange if we viewed that galaxy in relatively close proximity? Of course, when we view galaxies that are different distances from us, the same wavelengths in infrared would represent different wave lengths in visible light at the source. But, when we are viewing a discreet galaxy it would be nice to know we are viewing that Galaxy as it would have appeared to us a long time ago from relatively close by. Or are we just making pretty colours here to make these images nice to look at? Or are we colouring the image in a way that would help us to distinguish between wavelengths that that are of particular significance towards scientific investigation? And, do we colour the image differently each time it is rendered, or is the rendering process consistent?

All Hubble and Webb showed us is how accurate were the artists representations rendered only from numeric data.

8:20 why does MIRI not have such prominent diffraction artifacts? Is it because of the different frequency range as compared to NIRCAM?

@LaunchPadAstronomy

Жыл бұрын

Are you referring to the NIRCam image at 8:20? If so, the spikes are much sharper in part because the star is considerably brighter at shorter wavelengths. The MIRI image that comes next is in longer, mid-infrared wavelengths.

Where is all the gravitational Lensing? And wouldn’t a uniform omni directional shockwave produce a more uniform ignition of stars? Have you ever heard of Harooni‘s telescope and how it describes the microwave background radiation actually being radiated from our oceans and not deep space? very fascinating, and I don’t believe the microwave radiation has never been confirmed by any tech sitting at any of earths Lagrange points. It’s funny, the big plasma cloud that looks like a mountain range, reminds me of the oceans in space that Enki spoke of in the Enuma Elish.

Could they take an image of this nebula every few days for a month or so, and make a time-lapse gif/video of it? I think the study of the motion in and of itself may warrant this? Or no?

@TheEvilmooseofdoom

Жыл бұрын

The telescope see's from the upper visible through into the IR, but it's a wide range. The instruments each do a different thing, among those things breaking the light up (spectrum) and analyzing it. Depending on the instruments different colors represent different things including elements etc. So not all the images are truly what we would see with the eye but are colored to they can see what the instrument detected.

Will Webb have an “Ultra” deep field picture? Or is the deep field picture it took already “ultra”?

Webb will visit the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and go much, much deeper with an even longer exposure time. But already, the image of SMACS 0723 is deeper than HUDF in terms of the number of galaxies detected. It's already the deepest image ever taken and it's just getting started :)

So Webb makes a deep field comparable to the Hubble deep fields only where Hubble needed to stare at one spot for 10 days, Webb did it in half a day. What would happen if Webb stared at one spot for 10 days?

What, $2 billion dollars and 6 weeks on-station, and now one o f the 18 segments is hooped. How many strikes has the telescope sustained? How many can it sustain and still do good science? What is the revised service life, now?
