The Most Important Explosion in History

[@l.i.a.m.b]

1:53 im kinda dissappointed yall didnt mention the fact that telescope operator Oscar Duhalde was so familiar with the night sky that he noticed SN1987A WITH HIS NAKED EYE before Ian Shelton observed it on his photographic plate

[@Flesh_Wizard]

I can imagine him like "bro wtf is that"

[@l.i.a.m.b]

from how i understand the story, he was like “hmm why is there a star there?” and before he had time to tell anyone he got dragged away to fix an issue with the telescope

[@SphericaICow]

As an astronomer who frequently stargazes, this isn’t as mind boggling as you might think

[@baldusi]

I remember reading about it in 1987, and the anecdote was that he processed the film and threw it because it had been ruined by a spot, probably an excess of developing agent. So he went to drink a coffee while he run another exposition. And he watched the frigging spot in the sky!

[@ytseberle]

@@SphericaICow I agree. Even some of us non-astronomers noticed it. I had been living in Zaïre for several years at the time, 5° south of the equator, where night skies were dark and beautiful. I used to love looking at the Magellanic clouds at night. The shape and stars were very familiar. I distinctly remember in 1987 noticing that there was an extra star one night. I honestly thought my memory was playing tricks on me and that I simply hadn't noticed that star before. It was only months later when I was back in the U.S. that I read the news and realized I had seen the supernova.

[@rbrbrts]

I was a new grad student in 1987 and it was a crazy year: SN1987A, "high" temperature superconductors, and the fiasco with cold fusion. It was incredible exciting at the time.

[@bigsmiler5101]

1987 WAS A MAJOR YEAR for me too. I was a scientist in the Air Force and co-wrote a classified report that was orally presented to NATO. They scoffed at it. I warned the world hot spot was the Mideast and showed ways we were Not prepared for the ways it would be different from war in Europe, which off course, NATO existed for."

Interesting. What I also find fascinating, is the fact that since neutrinos do have some mass, it means that they are travelling slower through space-time than photons. It also means that their paths are more influenced by gravity and therefore should be slightly longer than those of photons. What all of this means is that if we were further away from the supernova, the neutrinos might not have arrived before the light did, but they would have arrived later. Are you guys interested in making a video about how the difference would be calculated and where the crossover would be?

The complexity underlying supernovas is astonishing. It's fascinating to think we're observing changes that occurred thousands of years ago.

[@kindlin]

Your hand that you're glancing at right now is a pico-second or so in the past. Anything a mile away you're actually seeing a nano-second in the past, the moon is a couple seconds and the sun is about 8 minutes. It just keeps going from there. As a slight tangent - tho completely based on the fact that the speed of causality (light) is finite - the idea of what "now" means is different for every inertial observer. Time, space, speed, acceleration, are all related in a non-obvious way.

[@polyglotinc]

I got to see it, being in the Australian outback at night with a fellow tourist that happened to know which direction to look. It was amazing to just need my naked eye, and heady to know at the time it'd been the first like that in 400 years....I think the biggest milestone I ever witnessed...except, oh yeah, the millennium (every 1000 years) and man landing on the moon (arguably every 4.6 billion years for a planet's first like that). ;-)

Hey, great video.

[@VoxVenenatus]

2:40 This got me thinking for a second… and please correct me, if I'm wrong, but I feel like "the more mass you've got, the faster you burn through your fuel", is actually quite normal, no? I mean, when your car's fuel tank is full, it technically requires more energy (and therefore more fuel) to move than when it's empty, since it also has to accelerate the additional mass of the fuel itself. I also feel like I learned recently that our bodies burn an amount of calories proportional to our own individual mass. That said, the reason why it might appear paradoxical would probably be that we don't necessarily think of fuel as a part of the total mass? Our cars don't get useless once they burned through one tank of fuel, since we can refill them with more. And we ourselves can eat in order to refill our energy. But a star doesn't "eat" or get's otherwise refueled, does it?

[@CaptainMisery86]

Some stars sort of do refuel. There are some binary star systems where the stars are close enough for the heavier one to pull material from the other

[@fireriffs]

A car is using the fuel to do work, move the car. The star isn't using the energy to do anything so without knowledge of how fusion works, it would be reasonable to think more fuel = longer life, kind of like an oil lamp lasting longer with more kerosene.

[@thefaboo]

If you're anthropomorphize the star instead, you might follow: Bigger mammals tend to live longer. Mice, rats, and hampsters live a few years, but humans, elephants, and apes can live for decades.

Niba showing what a fantastic host she is. All the SciShow hosts are great in their own way but I thought Niba deserved a special shout out today. Loved this video!

[@awesomeshouse2018]

Niba is just perfect! More teachers like her. She speaks not so fast and she looks like she wants to talk to people, the other presenters always look so unconfortable, they rush and speak at a higher pitch what is really tiressome. She is perfect!

Pretty sure "The Most Important Explosion in History" was the Big Bang

[@TheRishijoesanu]

Big bang was not an explosion.

[@LizardVideoDude]

That's actually what I expected the video to be about! 😂

[@hymnsdenliajes]

The Big Bang was the most important explosion in prehistory, not history

[@maxruedy951]

Except the Big Bang wasn't an explosion.

[@eliasandert6261]

great video as always, the hosts voice is also really nice to listen to :D

[@senseibear2436]

Who's the super-talented host all of a sudden? Have I just stepped out of a quantum accelerator...? It's late I guess, and my clock is upside down. Carry on....

[@HomeMadeBoards]

Attractive, smart and a smooth voice. More videos with her as the host please 👌

The bigger stars grow the sooner they die. Like star obesity.

Thank you presidents!

FYI - Hubble space telescope was launched into orbit 2-3 years later in 1990 ...

Niba has to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen - I'm lost for words..! Like all of their quality content, this was well thought out, well written, and choreographed... Thank you..!

her sweater is only partially rendering for me

[@Arda98907]

I haven’t skipped a second this time.

[@mastarce]

Best presenter!

From the pictures taken over the last decades an animation was created some time ago. Sad that you didn't use it (I assumed it was public domain? But maybe copyright issues are the reason). Really interesting how the super nova expands and the dust starts to glow.

[@kuntalgo]

In this video Universe is discussing about Universe.

[@kitrana]

but it counts LOL

[@40NDAMUl3]

I like her voice

[@lady_draguliana784]

Neutrino's turned clipping off... 🎮🤣

[@brireed2006]

I’m only here for the science. 😍

[@starrywizdom]

I'm really enjoying Niba as a SciShow host!
