Journey to the Andromeda Galaxy [4K]

The Andromeda Galaxy is our massive galactic neighbour, a spiral galaxy more than double the size of the Milky Way. In this video, we will be taking a journey, from this galaxy's ancient history, right up to its remote future- using the latest and most beautiful images to know our cosmic neighbour like never before. This is our journey to the Andromeda Galaxy...

Yes, I was thinking that myself... it blows my mind EVERY time I think how things are out there. I didn't know till just now that man thought it was just the milky way up until the roaring twenties!!? Makes since if they didn't have the knowledge and equipment though.

[@arsmariastarlight3567]

The greatest moment in science is when we discover something so significant it fundamentally changed the way how we perceive things and start to stimulate our deep curiosity to start observing and learning new things, forcing us to adapt and understand new things unknown to us

[@MountainFisher]

I can remember the awe of discovering other galaxies existed, but I was a kid. My grandmother taught us to read starting when we could talk like a 4 year old should. She would spend an hour or so every day teaching us the letters, sounds and we'd get a small chalkboard to print them on. A few years later I remember the day I read in our Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia about galaxies with a big picture of the Triangulum Galaxy. I didn't understand exactly what some terms or concepts meant, but I understood what galaxies were. I was 8 years old and it was the summer of 1958. I went outside that night and looked at the starry sky and thought about it, wishing I had a telescope. I got a decent one for Xmas, a three inch reflector (80mm) and the full Moon was out that night. It came with a star chart (hold over your head) and two lens, one was 22x and the other was 80x. I had no idea what the mm on the 80mm aperture by 400mm focal length meant as I hadn't read anything about metric yet. I'll tell you what, I could see the Andromeda Galaxy when I got away from the city light with that 18mm lens. I have a couple of telescopes now and still look at the stars. One actually not too much bigger than that first one.

Immanuel Kant was a boss for figuring out what Andromeda was over 200 years ago. Given the general thinking and the way people viewed the universe at the time , it is mind-blowing that he worked it out so long ago; he was essentially correct.

[@Broomtwo]

He didn't "figure it out" though, it was just a hypothesis.

[@Kryptic1046]

​@@Broomtwo - That's how most great ideas begin, and very few things are known with absolute certainty. Stating "It was just a hypothesis" minimizes what a great thinker Kant was. Besides, if you posit something based on what little evidence is available at the time and it later turns out you were correct, then I'm going to give you credit for "figuring it out" even if someone else doesn't like my terminology. Kant was a major catalyst for our current understanding of a universe filled with multiple galaxies, and it was profound for someone in his day to even suggest such a thing at all. That was the point I was making.

[@cratecruncher4974]

I bought my first telescope many years ago and after a survey of the planets decided a tour of the Messier catalog would be fun. When I got to number 31 I just stopped and spent the rest of the evening admiring that HUGE galaxy. I really had no idea until that moment there was such a monster right next door. I couldn't fit the whole thing into the field of the eyepiece. We're doomed, eventually...

My wife and I watched/listened to the original uploaded vid of this content the other day as I threw out my back and she massaged it. It gave us some amazing content to listen to while I was in pain. For that, I thank you 🙏🏻. Much love and respect.

[@dirkdil8268]

I saw Andromeda successfully for the first time through my telescope a couple of nights ago. A mind blowing experience! The image was not quite up to the standard of these but still. It is really out there. Binoculars will do also. Thanks for the impressive overview. Very timely.

[@martinhofman80]

When I got my first telescope I was like, let's see all those galaxies, there are hundreds of them to be seen right? Turned out that the only recognisable galaxy was Andromeda and the image was kind of blurry. A little disappointing but at least I knew what I was dealing with.

It always amazes me that many dots in the night sky are not just planets and stars, but also entire galaxies just like our own. Maybe some an intelligent being from one or more or those galaxies and looking at the Milky Way and is just as amazed :)

[@garvald]

Not many.... I think it's only 3, with only Andromeda visible in the Northern Hemisphere. By "dots" I'm assuming you mean with the naked eye :)

[@johnishikawa2200]

Less than 100 years ago, the stars in the night sky were considered by many to be "fixed", and permanent. But now all of the scholars, and even the rank and file person with at least a mild curiosity about the cosmos, realizes that stars, and even galaxies, have a life span-not unlike us ourselves!

She would have been nominated for the Noble Prize had she not died suddenly from stomach cancer. Her work laid the foundation for future astronomical distance calculations.

[@climberat1]

Wow. This documentary is fantastic. I first “discovered” Andromeda for myself only about 7 years ago while flying at 25,000 ft over Somalia, wearing night vision goggles. I could focus all the countless stars to pin points of light…except this one. This one fairly large star just simply refused to come into focus. Later that night, back on the ground, I did a little research and had my mind blown to find out it was an entire galaxy. I now own an 11 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain.
