Supernova Explosion Seen In Nearby Galaxy | Video

The light from an exploding star in the Messier 82 (M82) galaxy was first photographed from Earth on January 22nd, 2013. The galaxy is ~12 million light years away so the explosion occurred about 12 million years ago.

Lol. Time traveler jokes.

[@thatcosmoguy2621]

@@jhennaagotilla8266 not time traveller joke it's a fact. Because it is 12 million light years away, the light took 12 million years to reach us.

[@morbincentral3607]

It’s just crazy how that probably exploded millions of years ago and that’s just how long it took for light to travel to our eyes

[@cornmasterliao7080]

And how big that explosion really is despite looking like just a dot of light

Took 12 million years for that light to reach us. There's probably an entirely new system in that area by now.

[@Starnerdz]

Feel bad for any world with life around that.

[@MaXG65]

Let us hope it was a dead system.

[@wombatstevens7476]

What a rare and thoughtful comment.

[@CapitanBizarrely]

Hope they all got out before that thing blew.

[@dixienorm8411]

more than a couple star systems were likely affected by this explosion... but the supernova seeds the galaxy with a cornucopia of new elements so it gives birth to new, better organisms

[@joelz5382]

i dont believe in aliens, but by God is that thing beautiful, but so dealy!

wow 12 million years ago and were seeing it now

It is true. Anything hit by a supernova would die

Because of this music I’m now saddened by these sad comments that aren’t even sad

[@kinggogo688]

Its been 7 years lol

[@satyambhatt5790]

Are u still alive?

[@dixienorm8411]

a few years ago, unknown radio waves were detected being emitted from that galaxy. perhaps that was the star 'ringing its bell' before it went supernova... or an alien civilization sending a desperate signal for someone to save them from it... either way, it was 12 million years ago so they probably got over it :)

[@mandonacht8457]

"Got over it", lol

Yo hat't kinda creepy how those aliens were sending cries for help to humans in earth, guess we didn't answer :/

[@BrosephDeathCap]

That could've marked the end of a planet with life by that star... 12 million years ago that's absolutely crazy

[@abnormaldevil]

This could've been an apocalypse on another planet.

[@lonerider92]

Probably was.

[@Jembii]

... I see switching between a low resolution and high resolution image? Maybe my expectations where a bit too high for the explosion part...

[@Jakob-we4dk]

The one picture is just not in focus

[@ajcook7777]

Yeah there is no actual supernova footage in this video clip... The video editor just kept flipping in and out of focus and changed the dates a few times to make it look like it was actually changing over time. Its a clickbait video

[@nerdzy8454]

The supernova is in the galaxy, towards the right. The second image is certainly out of focus, but a bright spot appeared in an otherwise dim area of the galaxy. cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yQEcY9Kp8sYbmtAPtbxFw9.jpg

@@ajcook7777 ah

[@stoopidhaters]

It's so bizarre yet cool how something like a Supernova that happened millions of years ago can be witnessed today due to the speed of light.

[@jovanvita2010]

12 million years ago, theres probably a whole new galaxy there about now, space is truly fascinating

[@supremesauce2047]

Makes me scared and amaze at the same time

[@Kimond1225]

I was so lucky to have witessed of what we thought a supernova. It was evening time back in early 2010's when me together with my mom, dad and brother were just chilling outside our house, enjoying the amazing view of stars when suddenly we saw an "explosion"-like light in the sky. It was like a little star that shines brighter and brighter then after a few secods it became very bright. Size was almost a third of a full moon for maybe half a second and then the light disappeared. It was really cool and I can't forget what we saw back then.

[@Kimond1225]

That’s your opinion. It may not be a supernova but I am sure that we saw something.

[@bullymaguiregaming1757]

Must be a wonderful experience. But I also saw something similar One evening when the sun was about to set I simply went outside to look at the stars, but suddenly, right on top of me, in the sky, something started to glow really bright ,almost as bright as venus, and became dim and started moving(like a star moving). At first I thought it was a supernova but later when I thought a lot over it, I came to a conclusion that it might be a satellite passing by which became visible as it was getting dark(like how the planets and stars become visible when it gets dark) but still I am not yet convinced

[@sanchitarts2240]

That's not a supernova, supernova's are not visible to naked eyes. They can only be viewed through powerful telescopes

[@mindmineral]

The music makes this video bad

[@kyliesiegel9305]

Scary music: Oh my God we’re gonna die Happy music: So pretty!

[@hawaiidispenser]

Weird how a few other stars also seem to go supernova... focus problem?

[@TheAlapalooza]

Camera out of focus = Instant Supernova!

[@Plerion]

It may be the seeing.

[@scottb.3905]

Shorter exposure time on the "after" shot causes it to be blurrier. The other stars are just a result of the short exposure time.

[@hawaiidispenser]

Scott B. Makes sense to me. Thanks!

[@cocogrowtopiagt3693]

hawaiidispenser lel

[@levothy]

It’s crazy to think this was 12,000,000 years ago

[@adr.X]

The music makes me think that supernovas are in fact planets distroyed by the Death Star.

[@mikemccown2057]

I love how he puts animated, but then just toggles back and forth between two pictures. That was so damn funny.

[@ajcook7777]

Somehow ALL the stars are brightening and dimming! All at the same time! Bogus as hell!

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

Out of interest, what was the eerie music that was used in this video? It might be fitting to use it in some kind of video game mod.

[@minhazmahmudmunir2464]

The music feels like i am getting kidnapped by aliens.

[@user-hn1fo8bt6g]

It truly is a sad but beautiful sight to see. We can’t even comprehend what could of perished and the amount that did.

[@kaushikpaul6583]

It seems all the stars in the frame decided to burst together 😂😂 😂

[@LOOKINVERTED]

Sure! It would appear the same astronomer took the 'before and after' but then screwed up the second attempt with poor focus? Perhaps he hadn't as good a telescope two months later? Pfft, I don't know, it's not like it was an eclipse or something where he only had a few seconds to capture the "moment". Bit of a fail but at least we got to see the nova... sort of!

[@tamakun808]

Time to roast a marshmallow with my friends.

[@Flyingmetalmoustik]

outer wilds ref ?

[@Redby19]

That explosion was made like 12 million years for now and today I'm getting this in my recommendations, that's like so old

[@grainneleney6526]

When you realise it's so far away, it makes earth so lonely and small not in a bad way of such but its just insane the distance. I mean we are so small both us humans and the earth, and its so unbelievably far away its difficult to get my head around.

[@CrispyGFX]

The music used in this sounds conspicuously like music from Halo.

[@memecream752]

12 million years ago? And just now we capture it? Fascinating how our camera captured this event and we existed at the time it was able to be seen near our solar system. History has been captured

[@christbenitez8797]

It takes the light to travel at 12 million years to reach us. It just happened that we discovered that galaxy and observe and accidentally see the death of a star system.

[@cyrax1700]

How much time did the whole incident take.... A second, a minute, or a day?

[@onigiri1748]

"the galaxy is endless"

[@markotosic34]

Wait, so you are saying that I am watching something that happend 12milion years ago and it's happening right now (5y ago)!? *MIND* *BLOW*

[@rameshwarsawant9239]

From where they have captured this

[@tims7250]

Seems more like focusing was incorrect since the other densities of mass in the photo also gained in size, this wouldn't be possible for several masses all at once to extrapolate

[@jaysekhon8014]

Is it possible to record a video of such an event using a Deep Space telescope ??

[@YusafAnimations]

Dayum the horror music is making the video feel like I'm watching our solar system get obliterated to bits

[@guden0991]

could this be a star in front of the galaxy? the second image seems really blurred, there are about 11 stars missing that you can clearly see in the first picture, did they all blow up?

[@velascosr]

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

[@itsyagirlsophieyt4910]

The music is so creepy but I love it. Sounds like the music from a horror movie made in 1960 or smth.

[@sembrami4982]

the explosion size is massive compared to the galaxy it's in. There are hundred Billions of stars and this supernova probably has taken the size of 50 million stars minimum.

[@Ryan-hb7uz]

Nearby galaxy hits hard 😂

[@kevinlewis8288]

I just saw a star flash a bright light and then disapear. Does anyone know what the explanation behind this is?

[@yeshuanazarene357]

So, I wonder how long ago before 2014 did that star go supernova from the time NASA captured these photos

[@TheDJBrojo]

12 million years ago, or at least that what comments say

This is what m82 looked like when humans lived in tribes, hunted mammoths, and made huts out of sticks and dirt. This galaxy is 18,500 light years away, so we are seeing this galaxy and what it looked like 18,500 years ago.

[@DheerajSukumaran]

really? isn't that that just the camera blue that's making the difference?

[@sethother8012]

I don't get it. Why are all those stars exploding at the same time. Is there some other reason for this maybe? Why could so many stars supernova at the same time? Is it because the brightness of one star causes extra light to travel to the others? How do i know which one supenovad?

[@mp3_45]

Im not sure but they might be the same. Search about gravitational lensing if youre interested

[@ToniT800]

Are you sure it is supernova and not just overexposure:)??

The music of this video is indicative of the spooky creepy music used in 1950's corny space movies. In fact, there is no music in space, and if there were, it wouldn't be spooky creepy music, designed to scare movie-going kids into leaving their seats and running to the lobby to buy more popcorn.

[@shavoshaco2402]

That's crazy we saw an explosion from fucking 12 million years ago. And hell no that's not nearby galaxy it's 12 million light years away. I mean I guess it close in the grand scheme of things, but that's like saying the gas station 2 miles down the road is a close walk

there might be aliens who lost their lives by this eplosion

so, that was actually one supernova reflected four time by galaxy in between, n for now we immaturely believe in a straight line plane of light travelled distance but definitely thats not the case, cud be 12 million years, or close to recent or happens in the future..🤔🙂
