Magellanic Clouds (and Apollo 16) - Deep Sky Videos

Do you know what would be cool is ground base 30 meter telescope on the moon. If we combine all the military budgets and man power together we build it in 10 years.

Why are sephide star different in different galaxies, yet can be used as standard candles. For example the one hubble found in andromeda.

If it wasn't "standard" candle how could it be used to measure distance?

I can see these clouds in Arizona.

imagine
living on a planet in the Magellanic clouds
what a night sky

I think he ment to say M32
M32 is Andromeda's satelite.

the explorer 's name is actually Magalhães

lol i thought they were called that because they circled the galaxy 😂

Han, Chewy and Luke are all dead only R2-D2 remains at large.

Trust me, I believe in the moon landings ALOT but.. how did the camera pan up when the command module detached? I didn't think they had the technology to roboticly do that in 1972. Can anybody explain?

MagellaNO

I somehow love more the science popularizers than the ''hard scientists'' ....I can't help it...:D...

god damn clouds. sitting here with my Celestron EdgeHD 1100 not being able to look at the night sky... The urge is killing me.. oh well. at least I've got channels like this one to watch.. thanks DeepSkyVideos!

Thank Great Video. You style of presentation is great.

Great video!
By the way, what happened to Messier series?

Thank you for sharing, this is a beautiful video and great reflection on our galactic neighborhood :D

M33 is not companion of Andromeda(M31) !! But small ones M32 and M110 are. M33 is huge and far away from Andromeda, almost as far away as Andromeda is to our galaxy.

If I could somehow travel up from the Milkyway disk and see it from above, would I the see that bright, beautiful, swirling thing that I see in 3D-animations, or is that just an enhanced version to make it look better on screen?

If the clouds have elliptical orbits, and will be fused with the milky way in the future, how big orbits are we talking about? How many lightyears wide? How long does it take to complete one orbit? How many orbits will it take until they will fuse with the Milky Way? 10? 100? 1000?

So, if hydrogen and helium are the primary fuels in a star... what makes one hotter than another? i can burn a sparkler and, although its small, it still burns at many thousands of degrees... why would a small star not burn at the same temperature as a larger star?

Nice video, Brady!
I understood that LMC and SMC are going to merge with Milky Way in a far future, but in the 'near' cosmological future, they will orbit in a eliptical pattern like a comet.
And how about the Andromeda galaxy? Is it coming directly toward us or we are in a dance around a common center-mass region?

Always great to see more deepskyvids ! - Brady, I was wondering if you could do a video at one point about the famous "wow signal" and what the profs can tell us about it and it's location, and personal thoughts, I'd love to see something like that! Cheers!

was this shown because scishow missed up there intro??????

in portuguese: Nuvens de Magalhães

BIS Spaceflight magazine January 2014 has an article on the First Telescope on the Moon (pages 18 & 19)

the view of the night sky must be stunning if earth was in the LMC

Great Job. A very neglected part of astronomy books and documentaries today, or in the past for that matter. We hear a lot about exo-solar planets or the edge of the observable universe, even M31, but rarely the Magellanic Clouds and their kind. Learned they're light in metals (in the astronomical sense) today. That's great something new.
PS I don't remember if you had a comprehensive video specifically on the ladder of measuring the universe (from measuring the earth's diameter all the way to Hubble's constant or maybe there are more above and below if there is any). If not may be a good idea. I think you did one on Venus's transit and possibly on Cepheids but one comprehensive video from smallest to largest scales.

The Apollo footage took me back. Such a shame we didn't carry on with lunar missions -- we could have a base set up there now.
I didn't know that the Magellanic Clouds were destined to join us, or that there was a telescope on the moon. Thanks, Brady.

I think i have a question. I've noticed that things tend to orbit other things in our universe. I didn't know that smaller galaxies orbited larger galaxies. So if the Moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the Sun, the Sun orbits the Black Hole at the center of our Galaxy, There are smaller Galaxies Orbiting our own and others.

So the question is could the Galaxies be orbiting a central point in the Universe rather than exploding away from a central point?

Could our Galaxy and others be drifting away from the central point which has sent everything at different velocities until we reach a point of orbit around it?

Another great video Brady!!!!

What would the view of the Milky Way look like from the Magellanic Clouds?

Great video! ill be doing a bunch of awesome stuff with LMC data for my PhD :D

Not interstellar gas, it is interstellar plasma.

Never knew about the telescope on the Apollo mission. Thanx

I never knew Yosemite Sam flew on Apollo 16. You learn all kinds of things from these videos.

I am awaiting the day you look so far out there that you find ;  out how similar it is too zoom into the tiny space where the vibrations of atoms are In the here and now ; out how linear time can be in the past or future of science. But more importantly can we speak of the hear and now ^.^

Can someone please explain to me the last clip where the camera pans the launch from the lunar lander. How did we get the film from that camera when the entire Apollo crew was already flying home. Surely there was no digital media back then. And how come the camera was in such sync with the launch, looks like someone was rotating it. Great video btw! And i'm not a conspiracy-theorist, but i was totally confused when i saw that clip...

I dont know why but I always feel like playing KSP after watching DeepSkyVideos.....

Man, can only dream what our galaxy might look like from the Magellanic Clouds.

Numberphile really have to make more videos per week!!

This is the first I've even heard of the Magellanic Stream... sweet!
