The quote states that the projected real size of the universe is comparable to thinking that our observable universe is a lightbulb in the center of the planet of pluto and everything outside the lightbulb is the rest of the unobservable universe. Having it be on Pluto makes zero fucking sense. Ya'll can go back and rewatch the video if you want, but all you'll find is confirmation I was right.

[@zionlouding7278]

The temperature is proportional to the color and brightness. The hotter the star, the more it shifts to higher frequencies of light like white and blue, and the brighter it gets.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

"What's Ceres?" Ceres is/was the biggest asteroid in the solar system; after the international community reclassified the definition of several celestial bodies (when they decided to open the category of "dwarf planet" and "downgrade" Pluto there), Ceres and other dozen massive asteroids were reclassified there. When this video was done, Ceres was still the biggest asteroid and a common reference about the size of things in our cosmic neighborhood. "Probes sent to Venus" Yep, you might reffer to the Venera the first (russian) space program; that tried to research Venus. Since the probes were sent to first discover the conditions on the planet, they weren't designed to what they found: a planet suffering of a super greenhouse effect due to a lot of volcanic activity; temperatures in the athmosphere are some of the most extreme in the solar system and the probe could only transmit for some moments before being fried. "Neptune is a beautiful looking planet" Indeed. In the matter of records, Neptune holds the strongest winds in the Solar System: on average they have been calculated around 1126 km/h, and maximum limits of 1931 km/h. Oh! And it's suspected that in this unstable planet you'd something like a rain of diamonds; the models consider that the chemicals that form Neptune (a gas planet) at some depth can break releasing enough carbon molecules, that would turn into diamonds due to the same presure :P. Then, as they get deeper to areas with more pressure and temperature, they'd be vaporized, float back up in the insides of the planet, cool down, form the original chemicals again and sink (once again) to start the whole diamond creation/destruction process again. "Proxima Centauri" Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun. Only in the category of "stars", not to be confused with "the closest exoplanet" or "the closest galaxy" to us. "Why stars are fo different colors and the sun is yellow?" Fun fact: the sun isn't yellow; in general it's white(ish). We have colored our sun yellow for generation because our atmosphere filters and refracts most of the light the sun produces except the red/orange/yellow tones; but if we saw it outside of earth, it wouldn't have any tonality. Stars do have an associated color, though, depending on their age, and it's kind of an indication of how the fusion processes inside them are going. In short, young "hot" stars have a color that goes from blue to white, teen "warm" stars go from white to orange (in this classification, our sun is between a white and yellow star, right somewhere along the middle of its life expectancy) and old "cold" stars go from orange to red (and are some of the most massive objects in the universe). As stars get older and run out of their natural fuel, they grow in size and change their color. "How different nebulas form?" Well, such beautiful and massive objects are a balance between disaster and gravity. Some nebulas formed after the death of stars (basically, when massive stars explode); the shape they form will only depend on the force of the blast, and the gravity that keeps the remanining elements togheter. And from those nebulas, elements mix to give birth to new stars and planets, starting thar process all over again. "What's Omega Centauri?" That's a globular cluster; for centuries thought to be a star, due to its brightness (in dark places, it's visible to the naked eye). But in reality, it's a stacked collection of 10 million stars orbiting around one point, not just one massive star. It's been proposed this cluster is what remains of a dwarf galaxy that collided and was swallowed by our galaxy: the Milky Way.

[@JoshDoingLinux]

The more massive the star the faster it burns fuel because it has more gravitational pressure and thus fusing elements faster. Some of the earliest stars in the universe were very short lived because they were so massive that they just burned through fuel like crazy and died with extreme amounts of passion and thus created some way crazier stuff outside of helium. It’s pretty cool.

6:00 Being formed from a supernova is definitely a good educated guess and is indeed how some nebulae were formed, but there are of course different methods of formation other than this. For this particular Helix Nebula it is a planetary nebula which are formed from stars of 0.8 to 8 solar masses shedding most of their outer layers after expansion near the end of their life, and eventually reaches a point where its outer temperature is high enough to ionize the expelled gases with ultraviolet photons causing the glow of the nebula.

[@bluefox21186]

2 things that I think no one mentioned: Proxima B is the closest exoplanet. As far as I know, we haven't named planets outside of our solar system, so we name them "star+alphabet letter" starting with the B (the star would be considered the "A" component of the system). For instance, on Proxima Centauri we know Proxima B and Proxima C, althoug C is too far and not really to much interest on it. But that's probably your cofusion, specially since Proxima Centauri it's actually called "Alpha Centauri C", because it's a part of a 3-star system that also has an A and B. About stars, after this video we discovered a bigger star than UY Scuti called Stehpenson 2-18. If both were put in place of the sun, UY Scuti would engulf all planets and go a bit past Jupiter, while Stephenson would go all the way past Saturn.

UY Scuti is such a massive star but to put it in perspective on how big. UY Scuti is about 750 million miles or almost eight astronomical units. If the star were placed at the center of our solar system, it would extend far beyond the orbit of Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Saturn. It is absolutely nuts to think a star could be that freaking huge! You are correct the bigger the star is the quicker it burns through its fuel and the quicker it goes Nova like we are still waiting for Betelgeuse to go Nova. It literally can happen any day now

1:37 There were multiple probes sent to venus and they (after venera 7 who lasted 29 minutes only in freefall due to the immense storms and sulfuric acid rain) died in i think it was around the 50 to 60 minute marker (venera 9), they were russian probes and they were made specifically to be as sturdy as possible, they also took pictures of the service and captured multiple sound samples. The only reason they died so fast was due to the heavy storms of venus and the temperature being extremely high (it is extremely hot (820 degrees to nearly 900 degrees F or around 475 degrees Celsius being hot enough to melt lead), the air pressure is extremely high, there are very strong winds, sulfuric acid rain (at higher altitudes) and lightning storms driven by volcanic eruptions). Also funfact venera means venus in russian.

[@Buffaloheart68]

To me the amazing part is when they switch to light years. Our closet star is Alpha Centari. And yes some nebula are formed by supernovas. Just imagine if alpha exploded, it's only 4 light years away. Pretty damn close

The expanding Universe was a explenation back then, because we cant explain why almost every Galaxy is moving away in such a high speed, expansion also explains why certain objects move with lightspeed wich is not possible otherwise.

[@joda7697]

7:57 That's just a picture of the microwave background! From when the universe turned from opaque to transparent, gamma radiation was released.

[@matt47110815]

Our Sun light is actually white (you can see that in pictures taken in Space), the Earth's Atmosphere filters out the blue hues, so we see it more yellow-is. At Sundawn/Dusk Sunlight has to go through more Atmosphere to reach your eyes, and even more blue is filtered out, hence it turns dark yellow, orange and red.

I think the more heat a star radiates the more it moves into the Blue Spectrum while passing through the Colors Red, Green and Blue (mostly all three at the same time) which would cause the stars to appear white, because all three "main colors" of the light Spectrum create combined white light

The giant white bright stars are also main secret stars but they are of a different spectral type for, instance, Sirius A star is an A0 or an A1 spectral type whereas Vega star is an A0V spectral type the different shades and colors of the stars just simply means that particular star is in a different stage of its life. Another example would be our sun. In about 5 billion years, the Sun is due to turn into a red giant. The core of the star will shrink, but its outer layers will expand out to the orbit of Mars, engulfing our planet in the process. If it's even still there.

[@Damalatorian]

One of the coolest yet most scary thing about the end of our universe isn't to me that the speed will reverse back into another big bang like a breath and then create a new big bacg... nor the speeding up for the planets, suns etc from their orgin of the big bang creating a void that makes any possible way of making contact or going to other planets impossible... it's the third one for me (I remember it being called "the giant rift") and basically it's that the speed of the 2nd one where the planets and suns goes further and further away from the origin of the big bang in such a speed after a while where it begins to affect the smaller particles down to an atom level and ripping everything apart... good to know is that the planets and suns would be ripped long before that -but the theory is interesting as F! :)

I’m assuming you only know mid secondary school level physics so about the different colours of stars, different temperatures emit different wavelengths of light, you can look up the exact temperature to wavelength ratio but basically the hotter the star is the brighter it is and what colour it is, it roughly goes, black, red, orange, yellow, white, blue ( our sun is a yellow dwarf star with a surface temperature of 5500 degrees celcius, Rigel is a blue giant star with a surface temperature of 30,000 degrees celcius

[@DoktorWieg]

There's 3 theory (at least that I know of) about how our universe might end up : the Big Crunch, the Big Rip and the Big Freeze. The Big Crunch is the one about how the universe will one day suddenly collapse on itself, like a reverse Big Bang. Though, like you said, it is becoming less and less believed given the observations made about how the universe is constantly expanding faster. The Big Rip is the one where the expansion of the universe will reach a point where everything within it will be ripped apart on an atomic level because the forces at play are simply stretched thin. The Big Freeze is about how the universe will one day run out of heat and thus, everything will freeze in it which is what, I think, is currently believed is happening. Either way, it's gonna suck for those who are alive when it happens : either you suddenly get compressed back into an uniform mass with everything else in a moment or you end up being ripped apart on a scale that means you'd die in utter confusion of what's happening or you'd survive a slow, long process through which you end up freezing gradually until there's no heat left for motion and everything becomes a standstill. At least the Big Crunch would mean another universe would be born of it... the other two, not so much.

Second Edit: The luminosity is dependent on how many light it has each square km/m,The reason the stars change color is because how big they are and how much they nuclear fusion is. Third Edit: You were right about how the bigger stars are gonna be wearing down quicker than our Sun, this is because the bigger the star, the more nuclear fusion it does per second, and for example our Sun will turn into a red giant in 5 billion years and will turn red. Fourth edit: Nebulae are formed when stars like our Sun, explode from a red giant phase and it turns into a white dwarf, it’s name is a Planetary Nebula.

No. Higher surface temperature = color shifts towards blue and in case of white dwarfs to white-ish. Lower surface temperature = color shifts towards red and in case of brown dwarfs aka failed stars to brown. Stars that have surface temperature in middle of those two look yellow-ish. For example the Sun looks yellow even though most of it's output is in green.
