Planets, Stars, Nebulae, Galaxies - Universe Size Comparison [HD]

[@carykh]

Oh my gosh, this was the one. This was the KZbin video that got me interested in universe size comparison in 2009! I remember the 'Celtic Panpipes' song, so it matches

[@dustyboi8975]

Same. One of the first for me too

[@thnhbinhjack52]

Y O U R T H E O N E F R O M T H A T B F D I S E R I E S

[@CreeperSkullDZ]

YES SAME

[@duckington6814]

I can honestly say the same. This video is partially why I even developed an interest in astronomy and the universe in general.

[@CuriouSniff]

OMG I was just in kindergarten when first time watching this video. Now it feels really nostalgic

[@noncrediblecase341]

There's so many more fancy universe size comparison videos that are more up to date, but this one will always be the best. The music, the graphic at 1:42, and Sagan's quotes all fill you with wonder and humility about our place in the universe.

[@dr.baiter9813]

The music, really hits you with spiritual vibes.

[@SweetPea3412]

same for me

[@领主-元]

do you know the music name

[@drtony999]

Came across this video in 2010. Still fascinates me to this day, currently working on one myself.

[@Faltzerbeast90]

+Tony Patt Saved in my favourites and I come back to be amazed each time.

[@dan_s4916]

same. Except I watched the 2008 version first.

[@lugardo]

over the past decade, I've watched dozens of "Universal Size Comparison" videos but none of them even come close to what this one made me feel for the first time. I think it's a mix of the quotes used, the tiny sun comparison to gallant that is Canis Majoris, and most definitely the Music (perfectly compliments the whole "your galaxy is but an insignificant drop in the universe" theme). Mr NixxxoN, I commend you for sparking this deep epiphany back when I was still in middle school.

[@SticklysKingdom]

;') I remember watching this back in 2009... Ah, memories.

[@theextraterrestrialsscienc7122]

No shit Sherlock!

[@91supernova91]

I think that the universe itself is just a drop in another see with no end, the distances from those universes is so great that we might never know the existance of others.

[@TheSmartGamer7]

So many memories.....

[@ookimi]

I am being impressed when I watch this video in my childhood. Thanks to you, I have a dream of being an astronomer. You are like Carl Sagan for me : 3

[@LarsPeterWin]

My small monkeybrain cannot grasp this, but my heart can feel a song of amazing grace ! I´m in awe !

[@DEGermany]

2009 ... still the era of VY Canis Majoris...

[@servantofaeie1569]

And now 15 years later in 2014, WOH G64 has took the throne

[@2121beastmode]

That flute man gets me every time. Amazing video. Thanks.

[@tom123216]

THIS IS the best size comparison i ever watched

[@mycry]

when i was five. in 2007, i used to spend at least 4 hours a day on youtube looking at space comparisons and space videos. ive always been interested in space and somehow i came here again for the first time in 8 years looking at these videos. ahhhh nostalgia

[@powerONdelta]

I miss watching this as a kid.

[@Mii_Oh_Nine]

I remember watching this for the first time many years ago, nice job reaching 1 million views btw

[@LobedHomunculus]

This video is extremely nostalgic. I'm really glad I found this again.

[@shrick69]

legendary vid!

[@rossi180]

this is the original size comparison video

[@summerknight23]

I watched this video long ago but unfortunately I couldn't find it for how many years due to the swarm of size comparison videos on youtube... so GLAD that I found this video again, I kept it in my playlist now and ill replay this if I need to.

[@servantofaeie1569]

I found it easily by searching "universe size comparison 2009"

[@dendooz1059]

This video pushed me into astronomy and I love it

[@marcusimbesi1421]

'5 days ago' i was hoping i wasnt the only one coming back here after 10 years

[@servantofaeie1569]

​@@marcusimbesi1421I'm here after 15 years!

[@Typhoon-tracker]

I saw this video 7 years ago when I was just 8 years old and now I came back for nostalgia.

[@nisilisin]

Love these size comparison videos. Thank you so much for adding this. I wonder what will be discovered and added to this list of celestial bodies 20 years from now.

[@BenitoAguirres]

It is impressive. Perhaps you might not be aware, but the background song, "Ride On" made a huge impact in my life !. It was somewhere early in 2009, I came across this video because a suggestion by my astronomy professor to see an example of planet size comparison. When I heard this song, something special happened. I could listened to it over and over, as if the cosmos was communicating to me. Little did I know, there was a spiritual transformation happening inside me. Now, Dec 2o14, knowing what I know now, declaring myself back then agnostic, now I can truly say, I can state that I am strong in my Christian-Catholic values. I looked for Jesus, as a result of this song. And I found him. Any feedback you guys might have, all are welcome. Benito Aguirres. Dec 9 2014.

[@crazy3d]

lol that is so funny. I respect your beliefs but my brother sounds just like you, and that sounds like a total non sequitur to me.

[@Pantopam]

funny enough I can relate to you on the part that this song is somewhat special and makes me feel good and weird at the same time. But on the "spiritual transformation" part onward, I think you're crazy

[@user-cb4qr2zg5f]

All memories. I first watched this vedio in 2009 when i was 10. At that time, i was so impressed by the music. Days gone, so sad.

[@carykh]

OH MY GOSH me too! I watched this back in 2009, and loved the music! I was 12 then though

[@SerikaOnoeee]

@@carykh I remember watching this video when I was in like 3rd grade and I thought it was so amazing lol. I'm almost 19 now.

[@CadetGriffin]

I can safely speak for everyone born in the late 90s and early 2000s (at least those fascinated by astronomy and SOTU-type videos) when I say this video is a classic.

Stephenson 2-18 2,800,000,000 km it is the largest star right now, VY Canis Majoris size during 2009 is 3,063,000,000 km which made it bigger than Uranus' orbit, one year earlier in 2008, Canis Majoris was measured to be 4,800,000,000 km in size, making it bigger than Neptune's orbit, and partial of pluto's orbit, and the only star bigger than VY CMa's old estimates is the Quasi star.

Why are people bringing up god? This is a matter of science, and it is absolutely incredibly, and excuse me, but one would be ridiculous to take away how amazing the universe is by saying a 'god' created it.

Wow! Glory to Jesus, the creator of heaven and earth!

[@DEGermany]

No

[@kkirschkk]

he is not real , people made that up so they have power, and money. you are wasting your time and money

[@DEGermany]

IF he would be real, doesn't it mean that the universe had been created by a "god".

[@kkirschkk]

Joell Jones no

[@DEGermany]

AND I don't waste my money for that. Money has been produced by a factory and not by "jesus".

[@GicaTractoristu]

Absolutely amazing choice of music, it adds a great deal to the video. Great compilation!

[@sharka8028]

Great Job!! The only thing I might suggest is zooming the largest object from the previous "slide" to really give the viewer a rough idea of the size by motion rather than keeping track of "oh, that was the biggest, i'll play 'where's waldo' on the next slide". Best one i've seen yet. good choice in music. Now go the other way... quarks & gluons compared to planets, stars, and galaxies. Quite an extreme scale.

[@JaiLeafe225]

I remember watching this video in 3rd grade in about 2010. Still get chills every time I come back across it, especially because of the music.

[@gunn123]

Best Star video I ever seen ( Because your movie has the most detailed stuff about the universe In youtube) Tq for this one!! :)

[@thedoctrine101]

That is correct. VY Canis Majoris used to be estimated at around 2000 solar radii. But it has now been confirmed at about 1400 solar radii. With 40 solar masses, it is a Red Hypergiant. Though it is far from being the most massive. Blue Hypergiants, though much smaller, are a lot hotter, more luminous and more massive than their red counterparts.

[@nixxxon18]

IC 1011 exists, but its just an ordinary galaxy. IC 1101 is the huge one appearing on the video

[@GringoGrip]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, thanks so much for this video. Really my favorite size comparison video on youtube. I also love the zoom in videos you've done. Thanks again =D

[@TheFactsChannel7877]

this is the very first universe size comparison in the history of youtube

[@goldsaturn1436]

There are a few that are older. On my channel is a playlist of all the older comparisons I could find.

[@LobedHomunculus]

Not even close. The oldest one is from 2006 and is called "How Small Is Earth?".

[@servantofaeie1569]

It's not the oldest but definitely the most nostalgic for me.

[@MMOLegend]

[@kdum8]

Great video! I am impressed that you didn't get the light travel time radius of the universe and the actual metric diameter of the universe confused, and that you have the correct estimate for the diameter of the observable universe as well. That nearly always is quoted incorrectly. Great video, thanks for putting it together.

[@dragon_force4843]

This music with this video is good. Vibes are good. It makes you think of how old the universe and how big it is and how its expanding so ever rapidly.

Humans, animals, sea life, insects etc. As if i knew for certain that this planet is a body and everything inhabiting it functioned like the atoms in a cell. To see the last picture of the visible universe and immediately snap back to the view of my room inspired this grand awareness in my field of consciousness

When galaxies merge, they just form another galaxy. A nebula is a cloud of dust and/or gas. It used to be a sort of catch-all term for anything that wasn't a star (including galaxies), but it has a much more specific use these days.
