OMEGA CENTAURI - Giant Star Cluster Or Dead Dwarf Galaxy?

[@scappley1735]

That night sky would keep me up until 2 am

[@DQBlizzard_]

I'm so glad so many people enjoy yours vids, you really deserve all the recognition

[@Jacob-bi1oq]

If we lived in that cluster nobody would sleep...

[@Galaxius2117]

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MILLION!!

[@dennistafeltennis1190]

Can you imagine living on one of the planets orbiting on one of these stars in the cluster. More then 10 million stars all so close together not more then 0,1 Ly apart. That would truly be an amazing site.

[@OmegaMouse]

I will be creating this site in my game, Omega Mouse.

[@neko6656]

13:04 Gas Giant: SELFIE TIME!

[@davemmar]

Wow! This is way cool. I have actually observed Omega Centauri through my telescope from my home in Denver, CO. The cluster rises about 3° above my southern horizon when it reaches the terminator.

[@gospinus]

Galaxy looks so beautiful when Anton shows us. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@thekingfuturisticpigeonbos8588]

0:30 I can see the constellation orion and its winter triangle! :D

[@iimikegamer4233]

anton is the best and he is educational :))))

[@procurement3681]

I can't believe how spherical it is, I wonder if it's actually like that. Pretty cool stuff.

[@MountainFisher]

I live at 32 degrees North Latitude and Caldwell 80 or Omega Centauri is visible from early May to July when it goes over the horizon. It never gets high in the sky so clear seeing weather is a must to get a good view. I think above 40 degrees they can't usually see it at all. Most globular clusters are filled with red stars and so s C80, red stars are the majority even though you see other colors.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

That's a wonderful place for space travelling civs, having so many star systems nearby. Very early in their space travel capability, they can already explore and visit many solar neighboring systems! Lucky!

[@EdMcStinko]

Im exploring there now, thanks Anton I didn't know about this place. Also, I love the purple planets as well.

[@jamie_lawes]

What program is it

[@kashishsheth5310]

Great video Mr. Anton! Can you please tell us what software is it?

[@Jules24122]

WELL, andromeda isn’t going to be the first galaxy collision! IT WAS THIS ONE!

[@zack_120]

COOOOOOOOL ! This will be my desktop 'Observatory', hahaha ! Update: unfortunately your other videos don't have this cool feature seen here where a particular area of the vast 'galaxy' can be pointed to show up a bunch of stars at the top panel any of which can be brought forward enlarged to see its detail even with orbiting moons.

[@paulsaid1365]

Love listening to you Anton

[@OmegaMouse]

I hope one day to return home to Omega Centauri.

[@shamekagibson295]

Anton petrov my mom likes your chanel because it is very educational.

[@redapplefour6223]

what kind of name is shameka

[@CesareVesdani]

I know the cool name omega, which is the first letter "A" of the alphabet. I have heard of "Alpha Centauri" solar system before. I never heard before of "Omega Centauri" star cluster.

[@Otocol]

Cesare Vesdani the first is alpha.

[@schad1738]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it goes, Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Gamma, Hotel (so on so on), X-Ray, Yankee, Zulu.

[@user-uj8jb8lo9n]

🅱 centauri

[@skinsey85]

@@schad1738 That's the NATO phonetic alphabet lol Alpha and Omega are in reference to the Greek alphabet.

[@MountainFisher]

Omega was given the astronomical Ω symbol because German cartographer Johann Bayer used Ptolemy's data to find and designate this object "Omega Centauri" Ω being the last letter in the Greek alphabet Alpha Α same as ours being the first letter and same shape. So Bayer was actually the first to call it Omega not Ptolemy, who called it a star on the horse's back. Not until English astronomer Edmond Halley rediscovered this object in 1677 was it called a non-stellar object before Mayer called it Omega. It was first recognized as a globular cluster by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop in 1826, who described it as a "beautiful globe of stars very gradually and moderately compressed to the centre". Since it was the biggest star cluster discovered so far and Ω Omega means Great they left the star designation, but call it the Great Omega Star Cluster of Centauri. That's a bit of its earthly history.

[@togrulhuseynli7600]

that omega bastard wanted to steal our galaxy's stars!!!

[@jessicaacevedo2784]

Lol 🤣

[@Bennyboy92699]

Can I ask you your graphics setup Anton?

[@ceres7463]

Ceres is stronk!

[@dutch8856]

no anton is stronk

[@dutch8856]

no nebula's are stronk

[@ceres7463]

:(

[@Jacob-bi1oq]

No, Russia is stronk

[@vitorleite3095]

Pluto is a stronk planet

[@altr557]

i see this cluster in the sky beatiful

[@tonybs03]

what app is this that you are using? it is amazing

[@ZerryBerrytheSpaceRaccoon]

2:58 Living in there would be like having a billion suns shining all at once, regardless of the time of day.

[@elrond3737]

11:30 Planet has life? that is a giant leap of science. I don't think we can assume that.

[@miketaylor3559]

Black holes are tiny because they one plank length.They are terrifying.Don,t worry about them because we won,t live at the time it crush us.

[@monikah.g1918]

hello Anton, can you please make a video showing why a black hole with less mass than a very massive star will eat it anyway? thanks

[@SlyRyFry]

video idea: how we could terraform a gas giant?

[@Otocol]

Ryan Crane we dont know what's under those thick clouds, if there is land or just gas.

[@WarmApplePye]

there is no land on gas giants. hence the name "gas" the further in you go the higher the pressure gets.

[@Orange-y3d]

Not land like we know it. The core of gas giants is gas that is so dense that it got pressure frozen, so it might be a very dense type of ice called ice VII.

[@Pmbayliss]

There have been recent studies on the inner parts of Jupiter, it's very likely it is a mixture of layers of liquid metal hydrogen and helium.

[@Orange-y3d]

Pmbayliss I think Ice VII is in other gas giants but either way, it still has a solid core in its center (metallic hydrogen)

[@Shayeva421]

Purple may indicate plants because of retinal

[@Sunny-vb2dd]

I like astronomy a lot thanks Anton for teaching me :D

[@dutch8856]

can you give me the name of that ringed planet here 11:23? yea can someone go to that system and go the the ringed planet and give me the name? plz?

[@mosshivenetwork117]

Video suggestion: what if Earth had rings?

[@dutch8856]

the night sky would be verey bright from the rings being a lot closer than the moon and reflecting a lot of light and astronomers would somehow move to the moon

[@EduardA-xs8ls]

NoNameJames Astronomers are people that study stars. Get your facts right.

[@Andrew-fn9oc]

Eduard G NoNameJames knows that >.< He is saying Astronomers would need to go to the moon, because the rings would make night so bright, so we wont be able to observe very well because we need darkness to observe space (:

[@EduardA-xs8ls]

Cobra He could've mentioned that, then.

[@Andrew-fn9oc]

meh, he didnt need to, i was here to do it for him (:

[@NRV0]

Here because of the upcoming Exodus game 😁

[@NeovenatorRex]

How can you zoom and change magnitude limit :O

[@user-uj8jb8lo9n]

i only know the zoom. To zoom in its the page up key and page down to zoom out! I hope you enjoyed youre help!

[@PropilotPropilot]

I enjoy your videos. I thought there were no green stars. But there is one in this video at frame 2:52. Are you able to explore its source?

[@floseatyard8063]

Ik I'm 3 yrs late but it's a nebula. Alot of nebulae appear as smudged dots in space engine

[@MATRIX6162]

Science and video games combined, yes give me more

[@FV25]

Quick question, which version of space engine are you using anyways?

[@CompactStar]

I assume it's 0.980 but not sure

[@altaccountxd5183]

how do you make the game so beautiful? graphics settings pls

[@Tsskyx]

Hi, how did you get the new graphics in SE? They look really awesome.

[@bilalarar1571]

Suggestion for a space simulator similar to this for iPad?

[@Sunny-vb2dd]

13:13 looks like Jupiter with some purple. If the purple was removed, SECOND JUPITER?

[@xshalooplay7769]

Great video. Keep up the good work 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Bosko423]

Hmmm, omega centauri, the universes disco lights.

[@5naxalotl]

i have poor hearing and anton is usually very difficult to follow. but seven years ago apparently he sounded like this, which is quite easy for me to understand. what happened? i always assumed that he never switched out his native russian phonemes when he learned english, but it's something else. english language is a broad tent and i don't fault anybody for having an unusual version. i also remember being a lot younger and having no problem with heavy accents ... but there must be other people who think his posts sound like an mp3 that lost half its bits. anton is practically the only astrophysics presenter i follow and i live in hope that he might remodel his speech. fwiw globular clusters are my favorite astronomical objects

[@danydw8631]

11:50 i'm sorry, but isn't Earth the only known planet to have bodies of *liquid* water on its surface?

[@Galaxius2117]

Dany Dw he means the one to have water that *we know*.

[@Sunny-vb2dd]

12:54 the gas giant with rings looks like saturn

[@suphanmuslihen801]

What is he using to see the planets

[@Sebi076]

how is the stars in your game shine and make such a bloom in your game. tell me PLS how do u make them shine in the fame

[@restlessgamer712]

video suggestion: what of earth had the amount of moons of the other planets in our solar system?

[@Galaxius2117]

Restless gamer all those moos wouldn't fit. About 20 could fit but the rest couldnt because the earth doesnt have a large enough gravitational sphere

[@asia9188]

How do u view the space like that?like what website u use?

[@zegamingcuber857]

So, where’s the video on Kapteyn’s star?

[@ShawnPhillips-u7w]

🔥🧲and be honored

[@AQUAMCTV]

The purple planet looks like purple Jupiter

[@dimitardodovski9949]

he often says that stars in Space Engine are procedurally generated which is kinda disappointing. even Celestia that's almost an abandoned software for 7 years now has them all in the right place and catalogued!

[@aguyonasiteontheinternet]

objects which are known are all in the right place. all the rest are procedurally generated d

[@saltyassassin]

Turns out is is a dwarf galaxy…. Swallowed up by the Milky Way. With an intermediate mass black hole.

[@k4li365]

Do a video on Sagittarius dSph dwarf galaxy PLEASE

[@alanataylor1106]

I dated a Sagittarius, he wasn't a dwarf though.

[@hahatdog2546]

But is the sagittarius A* cluster bigger than omega centauri?

[@MountainFisher]

No. Alpha or A in Greek, unusually still the same even in modern Cyrillic, is used to refer to the "first", or "primary", or "principal". Omega Ω doesn't mean last it means Great, hence the Great Omega Star Cluster, it retains its Greek star letter although it is not a star. When used as star designations usually the brightest star is given A and then so on down the 22 letter alphabet, but not always. But Omega or NGC 5139, Caldwell 80 or C80 is a dim star with a 5.31 to 5.68 apparent magnitude. It isn't easy to see by the naked eye so Ptolemy called it a star on the horse's back. It was Johann Mayer who first designated it Omega Centauri based off his primitive telescope he could tell it was big and the most luminescent in the 17th century.

[@MariaJose-tl4pz]

Thanks

[@gusthompson319]

omega centauri is one of the largest clusters of all time hundreds of thousands of light years across

[@floseatyard8063]

The milky way is 100k light years wide 💀 omega cen is 157 ly wide i think

[@comradeblaze]

what is the black hole name
