The Importance Of Orbits In Creation & Destruction Of Life In Space | How The Universe Works

The only reason that life on Earth is possible is because of our stable orbit around the sun. However, elsewhere in the universe, orbits are chaotic, violent and extremely destructive. On the largest scale, orbits are a creative force and even construct the fabric of the universe itself. While orbits can be the source and creation of life, they can also be the complete opposite...
How The Universe Works reveals our grand understanding of the universe using the latest research, the most compelling experts, and the best graphics to continue our exploration of the mysteries of the universe.

i need more documentaries about astronomy

[@christianhoffman7407]

KZbin has all the 20 year old astronomy documentaries you could ever want! I wouldn't really call these documentaries though. They are just old TV shows. These really are not that much different from the modern third tier "content" creators on KZbin that essentially just read a wikipedia page over an edited sequence of stock stills/footage. Actually the visual aspect of these are better as the stock images in the third tier content many times poorly match what is being said. However the information covered is nearly the same - real basic shit. Like *The Universe* from The "History" Channel is about as dumbed down as you can get without singing "The Solar System planets go round and round, round and round". I don't think this video is from the actual Naked Science series though - it is from another series called How the Universe Works. While it interviews many of the same scientists as The Universe it isn't as dErPtY dOo as The Universe. The actual Naked Science series wasn't that bad either. I mean The "History" Channel also made Ice Road Truckers and Ax Men so their audience must have dErPtY dOo or it doesn't work.

I love astronomy

[@saviourojukwu893]

Space is my favourite

[@cesaredo]

Awesome

The same vortical motion that pumps the heart ,is that same spiral/vortical motion of life that animates the dark energy consciousness within

The most extreme orbits that don’t involve black holes, are the so called legendary mergers of magnetars. When violent variations of these objects(such as neutron stars) orbit around each other it can be truly violent. So violent that as the two magnetars orbit more closely, the other heavier magnetar literally rips pieces off from the other magnetar. This torn off pieces spirals on to the other magnetar, causing it to spin faster and faster, until they collide. There’s no telling how much energy this event can produce, But it’s possible when their magnetic field lines touch each other(if magnetars are classified in their pole locations and then it will be more complicated) the repulsive force of the magnetic fields will try to keep them from touching each other, but the intense gravitational forces will keep them from flying apart. This violent frictional can release so much energy that the magnetars will literally explode and produce a gamma ray burst and even a massive blast of energy that races through the galaxy at the speed of light. and what is left behind is ether a black hole or a very massive neutron star that behaves like a pulsar and a magnetar, called a pulsatar. And sometimes these mergers can make a ghostly image of a magnetic field. If magnetars mega flares can affect earth from 50 thousand light years away from Earth. And these mergers can release enough energy to affect the entire galaxy the same size as the andromeda galaxy. And luckily these mergers are incredibly rare(so rare in fact that they might not exist in our time of the universe), zero chance for this event to happen in our galaxy. But they are also the most important for creating many of the precious heavy metal elements(including those that create life itself) and even some radioactive materials that are only made artificially on earth(such as actinoids past plutonium), All of them can be made naturally only during the rapid neutron capture inside the collision, these elements will eventually decay into more stable elements and in the process can even creating more gold and rare earths from this violent event. And neutron star collisions will have different variations(such as the pulsar collision)depending on who’s colliding with who. And the more violent and energetic the neutron star collision, the more heavy elements that they can produce.

All this seems theory to me

[@VeganWithAraygun]

All kinds of stuff runs circles around this place.

[@prototropo]

Great presentation, with delicious graphics. (Nothing tops the collision of composite bodies of the largest mass and highest velocities possible.) But very curiously, there is no explication of basics! How could an hour of orbital mechanics not review Newton's notions of gravity? Or Einstein's gravity wells? Proportional to the product of masses, inversely to the square of their distance? Orbits proportional to the square of velocity, inversely to the radius of the orbit? Even Kepler's laws should have gotten quick mention.

good night 😴 🥱 🌃 🌙 ✨️ 💓

One of the most in accurate models is trying to use the star that we have around us as a model as runaway stars and vampire stars. But honestly it’s red dwarf stars that are the primary models for these events, including runaway stars. And there should be an hour long episode of these tiny dim stars, and it turns out that they are not what we thought they are. Red dwarfs can break so many records, including creating the most common explosions in the universe.

[@attulgandotra7864]

Sometimes I feel like they make all this stuff up😮

[@davidpjr8]

24:15 -24:30 the pulsar is so big and the only reason we can see it is because the wake it leaves behind, yet you can tell there’s a brown dwarf orbiting it from 5k light years away I feel like is a straight up lie

Or you have a small imagination.

Changing the title of a documentary and posting it again doesn't make it new.

[@bruceh92]

This is 20 year old content !

[@labellaflora....]

And your point is.....?

[@christianhoffman7407]

How the Universe Works - "Extreme Orbits - Clockwork and Creation" Episode 5 Season 2 August 8, 2012 Still it is old. I see some of these like "The JWST is due to launch in 2014" - yeah about that.....

[@christianhoffman7407]

@@labellaflora.... His point is that it is obviously dated and astronomy/aerospace information is always being revised. When this first aired in August 2012 we had yet detect gravitational waves and had just found the higgs boson the month before. New Horizons had not reached Pluto and Cassini still had like 5 years left orbiting Saturn. The JWST had yet to launch and SpaceX's first operational cargo mission to the ISS was still a couple months away.
