[@randallacord5087]

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

[@Yusuketh443]

[@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.

Pretty sure all the astronomers just argued about it like they always do

The constant dilemma about how can it be dark at night inside such bright Universe? 🤭

[@francus7227]

​@Alarix246 Light intensity diminishes by a square factor. We're 93 million miles from the sun. One astronomical unit. For every A.U. the brightness only 1/4th, 1/9th, 1/16th, as strong. Jupiter is 6 A.U. from the sun. So light is 1/36th as strong as on Earth. Keep doing that and the universe gets pretty dim. On Pluto the Sun is 1/1,300th as strong as on Earth.

[@Kryptic1046]

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.

[@SaleemRaza1]

AsSalam Alaikum, peace and blessings of God be upon you and all brothers and sisters. God says, I cannot fit inside this universe, but I can fit inside the heart of my servant. Heart is a home of God. God says, all this universe and everything inside it is yours but your Heart is mine. We are slaves of our Heart. We do whatever our Heart asks us to do. But God says, give Me your heart, don't be slave of your heart, become its master, become its boss and make it your servant and train it to worship Me. Then God says, if you successfully gave Me your Heart, I will enter you in Jannah (paradise) where all wishes of your Heart will be fulfilled and you will get whatever you want. Why God says, give Me your Heart. Because, your Heart wants something else. My Heart wants something else. Other people Hearts something else. And it causes conflicts and misery. But God says, all of you give Me your Hearts and seek what I want and not seek what you want and it will create peace and harmony in all of you and you will become brothers to each other. This is what Jesus (pbuh) said. I do not seek my will (my heart) but I seek the will of God (heart of God) And Prophet Muhammad (sws) said. God says. O Son of Adam! I desire something and you desire something but only what I desire occurs. If you submit yourself to my desire( i.e. obey Him), I will be sufficient for you in your desire. If you do not submit yourself to me (by disobeying Him), I will tire you in what you desire and (at the end of the day) only what I wish happens and occurs. Since, our Heart is a Home of God, so cleaning it is our duty, we must clean our Heart daily just like we clean our face daily. Cleaning of Heart is more important than cleaning of Face. This is why, God gave us five prayers, so that we all stand together in a row, shoulder to shoulder and forget who is black, who is white, who is brown, who is poor and who is rich, and only thing that come in our mind is that we are servants of God. Prophet (sws) said, "All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly." Ameen.

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 :)

[@Dom21221]

Please Never stop making videos. Seriously. I watched every video from your channel and it’s amazing. Cant wait for your James Webb content

[@astrotherapist]

You did a fantastic job with this video. I'm utterly amazed at the quality of it all, and think it's one of the best videos ever produced by anyone! Thank you for sharing!

[@ImDanda]

We sleeping good tonight. SEA, I hope you don't take that the wrong way. I love the universe and all of its physics and mysteries. Your videoes are super calming and educational.

[@tcollins7081]

I'm just imagining a civilization in our larger neighboring galaxy, wondering about the same thing about the Milky Way, well heck, they would have a different name for our galaxy. 😂 This astronomy video was top notched, I was blown away how well put together it was. 👍

[@darthdaddy6983]

Imagine we were able to send each other pictures & memes , but text messages would always arrive scrambled .

[@missaamane8580]

I think the same. What if they are watching milky way and wondering what that bluish planet next to the sun

[@asmodeus0454]

This shows how insignificant our trifling little planet really is. And how triflingly insignificant human beings are.

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Unless we are the only life in the Universe….

[@RSingh100]

wrong, we (living beings) are as amazing as the universe, imagine we have "eyes" that "see" things billions of light yrs away, arnt that as amazing as galaxys & such. Wow, are such unique & universe is so unique. But most of the time we (living beings) are just looking for the next meal, Phatice 😃

[@sephestra.]

Well worth the wait. It was spectacular.

[@mattye3173]

This deserves so much more than 2 mil views, this deserves so much more attention than it is recieving rn, this is so much information compressed in one video, so much production quality, I praise you good sir

[@davehoward22]

Astronomy is fascinating as it is frustrating, as we can see these places,but we are never really going to SEE them,visit them,their allways going to be a photo through a telescope.

[@davesmith826]

If we try to travel through conventional (i.e. known) means, then yes, we'll never see what we see. But who says that linear travel from point A to B is the only route available? We might find some altermative means to traverse the gigantic distances. The only question is whether humanity will live long enough to make the discovery. I doubt we will, but perhaps some other intergalatic species will find the remnants of our civilisation and re-engineer us for shits and giggles.

[@edwardtorres3987]

As a big fan of astronomy I can say this video was one of the best if not the best videos ever uploaded! I subscribed and look forward to watching many more!

[@LiquidShadows]

This video was incredible. The history, the visuals, the narration...all of it was flawless. I even watched it on my phone just so that I wouldn't fall asleep. 😂 Can't wait to see what's coming next!

[@kevinmalone3210]

I always wanted to visited the Andromeda galaxy. I finally got the opportunity.

[@memesinc5852]

These sort of videos convince me of the Unescapeable fact that we are not alone with the millions of galaxies containing billions of starts with trillions of planets orbiting those stars. the % chance that we are alone is practically impossible. Our alien neighbours and us may not be able to see and communicate, but I like to think they look out into the void just as we do and smile (if they can) at the knowledge that they are not alone.

[@oustaz1]

God made us

[@oanthata]

So well narrated , wow - this is the best I have seen so far , thank you so much

[@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!

[@alexdenton9176]

Space is messy, but this galaxy is Messier... ... I'll get me coat.

[@pmgodfrey]

Well...no. It's pronounced messy-a. Just like uranus is not 'your anus' more like yer-innus. It just gets me. lol :)

[@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...

[@angelstrong792]

Beautiful indeed, My Angels in Andromeda Galaxy are waiting for us to visit them. Yes, we are going there!

[@Nikki_Catnip]

Every video you make is an absolute Masterpiece. I don’t understand why you don’t have millions of subscribers. People are really missing out.

[@monolithgeometry3221]

Millions ? Have you "visited " planet Earth lately? At least, America . Ugh

[@ChilliusVGM]

thank you for having subtitles, i take in information so much better when i can read what i'm hearing alongside watching :)

[@k.d.kelley2830]

Me too.

[@AlexRamirez-hi1ko]

Milkomeda...(Lol)...Thank you for sharing another great story of our comos; I will never get to see that final moment when our galaxy finally extinguishes and the balance is finally restored to it's original state of dark silence...

[@Davidbirdman101]

I don't know who you are, but you have the best science channel. The way you explained the Hubble deep field and the distances was just excellent. It's the first time I've really understood the thing, thanks for the information, keep it up.

[@chuck5419]

Andromeda is definitely teeming with life, I would bet my life on it

[@Whatamysaid]

I need you to know, that your videos are next level. Each and every fascinating film has broadened my understanding of our universe immensely. Visually, each video is more elegant and beautiful than the next. Your narration is not only soothing to the ear, and poetic, but you’ve mastered the art of presenting these highly complex scientific concepts in a way that’s easily 😅understood by a simpleton like myself. I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I HAVE found my go to- FAVORITE channel on all things universe/space/etc

[@louise_rose]

Yes, excellent video and very interesting!

[@jonrutherford6852]

These SEA videos are superb in narration and closed-captioning. I wish other science videos were made with such care and devotion -- and thoughtfulness toward hearing-impaired viewers. I echo the gratitude of other posters here! Bravo.

[@johnnyutah4584]

Best presentation on the web !

[@cokezzz8249]

Somewhere in Andromeda, on one of its stars and inhabitant planet there is probably a video of them talking about the journey to the Milky Way

[@waterlysubstance]

Great video, man. One of the few channels i genuinely get excited about new uploads on

[@5thpixel]

It's fascinating to compare how little we knew only a few hundred years ago to what we know now and what's left to discover.

[@alabastergreen7444]

In a few hundred years they'll be comparing how little we knew compared to them

[@5thpixel]

@@alabastergreen7444 precisely. There are things yet to be invented that we don't know we can't live without.

[@DomenicoCarucci-tn9nh]

Semplicemente meraviglioso, l'Universo non finisce mai di stupire.... ringrazio tutti per la possibilità che danno a tutti di vedere il Creato..... grazie ancora di❤

[@Bizarius1]

Can't wait to see what the James Webb brings to the table on Andromeda. EDIT: Love you bro! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@thatdude1435]

One of the absolute best space youtubers out there! 100%!

[@GomezBro]

12:50 This is freaking terrifying. Literally a hell. Imagine if this is were lost souls go? Able to see how far away from everything you are?

[@elblack25]

dude, that Shapley was so wrong, yet so close... damn... (you're becoming my favourite content creator, the voice tone, the script, the research, the flow of the content... top tier stuff).

[@zenokarlsbach4292]

Kapteyn keeps on counting, and counting, and counting ..

[@বিশ্বেরকিছুঅজানাখবর]

First of all, thank you 'SEA' for this amazing video Everything is explained here very nicely and to the point..!!

[@barkasz6066]

As much as I am fascinated by the possibility of alien life in our galaxy, the idea of beings living in Andromeda or one of our satellite galaxies and looking at our galaxy always gives me goosebumps. Also just imagine the view from one of those satellite galaxies!

[@loz1467]

Galatically and on a soul level, I'm from Andromeda. I'm no alien, but rather an Andromedan starseed. There's tons of multidimensional beings here on Earth - Pleiadian, Lyrans, Acturians, Syrians for anyone keen to go down the rabbit hole 💫

[@xyhmo]

I wonder if Hubble's discovery and the general recognition of the true size of the universe had an impact on the writings of Lovecraft. It lines up well time wise, and with Lovecraft's ideas and sense of life.

[@koenth2359]

Impressive story and very beautiful images and CGI! Very well done. Thank you so much, massively enjoyed this.

[@SufyMusic]

I like your choice of sound effects that highlight the unknown nature of your topics

[@daniel.lopresti]

I'm glad I remembered having watched a bunch of your videos a while back and recently searched for you again and subscribed! I like the way you present our local friendly galaxy in an almost anthropomorphic way and feel almost sad for its eventual demise in a way you might experience a tragic ending in a film :) (Essentially a narrative character arc that engages more than any dry textbook-style narration could...)

[@daniel.lopresti]

Three cheers for the local group!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Fun Fact: Don’t worry about our Galaxy colliding with Andromeda. Our Sun will turn into a Red Giant and cook and swallow Earth long before!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I am the true/only Princess / Lady / Queen etc, and the real-life Andromeda and the real-life Medusa -- this is so depressing because I was ferced into this wrong mortaI world...

[@TalhaTETBIRT]

Yesss a new video to sleep on 🙈🙈

[@Coloradical]

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by the andromeda galaxy. I have no idea why even though I know it's impossible I long to be able to visit Andromeda.

[@mbarker_lng]

A beautiful video. I can't help but be envious of any life in one of Andromeda's satellite galaxies. Imagine how awesome it would be to look up an see its wonder vs. a sea of white dots.

[@Astronomiespechtler]

Dude, you make amazing videos! I owe you hours of deep fascination and your videos feed my curiosity, but at the same time when one thinks about all the knowledge that comes with your videos, it only lets my curiosity grow even more! A humble thank you from an Amateur-Astronomer looking up into the nightsky whenever life allows, fascinated to the point of shedding tears thinking about this unimaginable vastness above our heads. Keep up the great work lad - Thank you for filling youtube with such fascinating content!

[@kevinmalley6017]

Awe inspiring, just makes you realise how small we are, puts things into perspective.

[@stephenbesley3177]

I can understand why astronomers of centuries past will have struggled with the concept of other galaxies. The distances and numbers involved boggles the mind. And these are our nearest neighbours!

[@fukemnukem1525]

Well....liked it so much I had to watch it twice... The Andromeda Galaxy has fascinated me since I first saw it through my telescope many years ago. Like most people, I always look at it, and wonder what may be staring back this way....is there a sentient being like myself....wanting to know the answers of life, the universe, and everything.

[@mth469]

I would doubt it. Despite life on earth for a billion years, it is only in the last 500,000 years when we started looking at the heavens and wondering about our existence.

[@tonedef6226]

Love this. Love you for making it. Dunno what else to say. Its epic.

[@HowieIsaacks]

Excellent video as always. Thanks for posting!

[@isidoord6106]

Hi, I just wanted to say that I really got into astrophysics because to you and that I’m planning on studying it in a few years, mostly thanks to your video’s. Just thank you:)

[@christineduncan8979]

I hear after realizing we are seeing this galaxy millions of years in the past and now I’m fascinated

[@ximalas]

Well done, Sam. It's a pity none of us will be alive to witness these events. It's so strange to think about.

[@CaptainGrims]

It's actually not unreasonable that someone born within the last 40 years could be alive when this happens. We're on the cusp of human immortality.

[@compromisedssh]

Look-- we've got a pessimist in our midst.

[@-WhizzBang-]

Our Sun will have died before these events start to happen. Our very existence will be long extinguished and Earth will be a lifeless rock drifting through space like a spec of dust in a sandstorm!

[@786itube]

Awesome - both the content, and the fine presentation. Many thanks for drawing the curtains to the universe and enriching our understanding of our neighbour. Pity though, that I will be unable to book a flight to vacation there

[@jetpond7904]

Hi. I personally think it’s more than fine. Bye.
