These are all the known galaxies in the observable universe

[@jawjahhh]

All my life I've wanted to be an astronomer, because I've always been fascinated by stars and the way of life, me and my physics teacher have hour long conversations about the universe, solar systems and galaxies because both of us can't get our heads around the fact that our universe could be infinite, and if it isn't infinite what's on the other side of it? The complete opposite? Wow, life and everything around us is completely fascinating and hard to explain and that's why I love life.

[@tim04hy]

Thanks for the weird and creepy music btw..

[@tipoomaster]

@jessiessica We haven't mapped all the galaxies either, these are just the small portion we've seen with Hubble.

[@hayoayeric4729]

and that's why there are aliens somewhere :o..

[@sandamn85]

Oh, I get it. So the sphere at the end represents the temperature map of the Universe and it's just the broadest view in our area of observation. I was under the impression that it represented the whole Universe, hence my ignorant rant :)

[@Yggdrasill8]

@tipoomaster That's quite a spectacular perspective, unless you view such similarities in a manner of replacing the size of the known universe to our galaxy, then yeah, our planet would be but a speck, but it's not, considering the universe's size incomparable to anything else that exists within our tangible reality. How much more comfortable would you feel if our entire universe consisted of this galaxy, this solar system, or if it was forever expanding into into an infinite amount of space?

[@tipoomaster]

@TheLongrin Thats not being an ass, that is correct. But its both things in conjunction with each other. Part of it is Hubble simply hasn't pointed there yet, part of it is our own galaxy obscuring the others.

[@tipoomaster]

@grennans Yes, but more complicated than that. Remember, with distances this big, we also look back in TIME, not just space, since light does not travel instantaneously. Just like every star we see in the sky is not actually where we see them anymore, as the light took years and years to get here. So at distances as large as in the video, the blue/green ball represents as far back in time as we can actually see. As you probably know, physics gets funky closer to the beginning of the universe.

[@leviterande]

if there is one thing I could pay with my life for would be this: meet another advanced species from another galaxy

[@Armyless1]

Interesting cones of view... and all the empty blind spots we have yet to even begin mapping.

[@Axgoodofdunemaul]

@inad316 Much of our view of the outer reaches is blocked by the nearby Milky Way Galaxy. The fan shapes of the galaxies we can see -- the 'fan' is like a view through a hole in a wall. When you're looking into a locked room through a peephole, you can only see part of the room. That's why there are gaps in the filigree of galaxies surrounding us.

[@juaccoo]

nice screensaver

[@momentary_]

@bootsdog3 Well, the model isn't based on raw images from Hubble. The model is altered using corrective calculations based on any possible distortions. Of course, this is all possible only because of computers. Making those corrections by hand would be very arduous work.

[@jessiessica]

Impressive considering we haven't even mapped much of the ocean floor yet.

[@tipoomaster]

If that's sarcasm, haha. If not, that seems pretty self evident, wherever you are standing your view is in a circle around you, same thing on a larger scale. This is just what we can see from our tiny point in space, so it looks like it went out from the "center", but there actually is no center.

[@hottr6]

@tipoomaster I think the dark regions represent space obscured by our own galactic plane; in those directions, our own galaxy is so thick with matter that we cannot see outside.

[@jessiessica]

@tipoomaster I never said that we had. I was just saying that it's impressive that we've mapped so many galaxies so far away from Earth when we haven't even finished mapping our own planet.

[@BrianHill]

Just to amplify what @grennans is saying, when we look at things that are estimated to be 10-15 billion light years away, we are looking back at things that were created just a few billion years after the beginning. The current best estimate of the beginning is 14 billion years ago. Note *we are not in a preferred or central position.* From any vantage point in the universe, the things on the periphery are the oldest. Those far from us are looking at us as we were billions of years ago.

[@IziRodriguez]

@bootsdog3 because gravity efects on lights speed and direction are perfectly measurables by math, therefore scientist can remove the "gravity difraction" from their model

[@Pv488]

this is so amazingg

[@knoxvilleguy2]

That circle could represent a kind of " wave - front " like the membrane of a balloon. I've got to wonder if " dark matter " might stop or reverse the expansion of the universe. Is there even an edge or just more universe that hasn't been detected yet ?

[@B999wppl]

All I can say: Universe is aFUCKINmazing :)

[@ActiveStorage]

sorry from 0:35 to 0:38 as the model rotates one can see that it's not spherical but flat, almost 2 dimensional. Why those bi-polar "quasi-cones" are being flat triangular sheets of galaxies instead of real round 3d cones? Is that due to lack of data? Or due to some abstractions we can't see through? (such as dense dust clouds of our home galaxy but elsewhere) Thank you

[@bb1televator]

Why do the galaxies look like they're arranged in thin fan structures with so much emptiness in between each "fan"?

[@Grigeral]

@astrovue Perhaps I didn't word that very well lol. What I meant, is can we only see 13.7 billion light years away because it is the end of the universe? Or can we only see that far because that's how far our current telescopes can reach?

[@toocoolforu]

@Adziphone the other 8 space dimensions are curved in themself below the atom scale.

[@grennans]

does the blue/green area at the end just mark the boundary of how far we can see?

[@tipoomaster]

@inad316 Hubble hasn't looked in those directions yet, I imagine. Like when your facing forward, you can't really see whats right above your head.

[@NeoAmRaAm]

Can I get this video in better quality anywhere?

[@Grigeral]

@astrovue So, we can observe a radius of 13.7 billion light years from our own point in the universe? Does this mean if we look at it from our position, we can see a diameter of 27.4 billion light years, one side to the other, or are we restricted by what's believed to be the 'edge' of the universe in one direction and upto 13.7 billion in the others?

[@grennans]

Ah yes, einsteins theory of cosmic funkiness., its a common known fact that the universe only gets funkier the longer you stare!! hah, thanks

[@cameliss17]

Imagine if the universe were a small particle of matter floating in a universe much larger than ours? Damn, we would be fucked, seriously.

[@racermaniak]

What's the song playing? Thanks!

[@ErostheEpic]

I seen more stars than that, but that's only when I add the number of stars in this video to the newly discovered brown dwarf, 'The Snooki'.

[@Mitochondria420]

@grennans The Blue/Green area is the cosmic microwave background radiation leftover from the Big Bang.

[@tipoomaster]

You got it :)

[@naedanger123]

@TheXXMACHINEXx Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy moment there I believe... :D

[@ahaveland]

@tipoomaster It's wierder than that too... Takes a bit of imagination, but invert the sphere, so that the whole surface of the sphere is a point, and the center (where we are) is actually the edge with decreasing density! Discounting the blanks caused by our galactic plane, any observer anywhere in the universe at the same elapsed time from the big bang would see roughly the same thing.

[@DrSmokeTrees]

@jessiessica we have mapped much more of the ocean, by %, than we have space.

[@iinsanecyco]

God:I wanna play a game

[@OriginalJetForMe]

So, we really are at the center of the universe, huh?

[@jessiessica]

@EveTigrepaw Not quite. I'm just saying it's impressive what we have achieved so far with regards to space exploration.

[@vengiss]

Are all those "dots" galaxies?

[@JBhab30]

@tipoomaster Amazing just amazing , "Looking back at time" Awsomeness.

[@sandamn85]

If that's the known universe how come it is represented as if the point of observation is in the exact center of it? :)

[@braindeadbonobo]

we will never explore space. feelsbadman

[@JBhab30]

Whats in the middle?

[@bb1televator]

@MrPhDGuy Ah, I see. We just haven't looked there. Thanks!

[@OriginalJetForMe]

What's the music?

[@tipoomaster]

@cheomire We are specks floating on a speck in a sea of specs orbiting a speck in a cluster of specks amid hundreds of billions of clusters of specks in one of the smaller regions of specks.

[@tipoomaster]

Four people dislike the universe...Gotta wonder.

[@stanjov]

Looks like a marble from Man in Black movie

[@simplystatic]

life is fucking amazing.

[@Amati08]

Shows us how big god is. He is the creator the most merciful. The one and only Alluh!

[@misagrony]

the spirit molecule would tell you otherwise, what people think in general =/= popular opinion

[@alltairman]

Dog gone cool.

[@jjackeup]

so how can the take a pic of all those places there like 204.526176.2616 miles away from them

[@adamtokay]

so we do are in the dead center of the universe! great job science!

[@lujia]

guys I don't think we are alone :P

[@omysack1]

How should I know?

[@naedanger123]

@ripley8resurrection No, humans shouldn't be allowed to do what they desire to do, because that involves humans basically tearing each other to pieces. Of course, we have laws to live by. They aren't perfect, but they have kept the world safer than it would be without them. I don't believe in religion, but I don't disrespect people who do. Science and religion both strive for the same thing: to find out where we come from. They just differ in the means they use to get these answers.

[@lynntrotman]

@Mr.tb180 The video description answers all your questions.......

[@jaymcd84]

isnt time just the perception of conciousness?

[@oguzhanalabalk2655]

165 k wiews?... But Shakira got millions wiews... Ow. Then is it mean , all world find shakira more good then this ? Oh my sience..

[@halbarbour7805]

That which has not been observed.I'm not trying to be flip here, This is on a scale of unimagined scale and flies in the face of paltry explainations from bronze age books.

[@naturalyshocked]

maybe strong religous people?

[@jessiessica]

@DrSmokeTrees Yes, obviously.

[@dex21797]

@tipoomaster space is like a vacuum it is constantly expanding .... probably why it has this kind of shape? i mean i can be very wrong for a 13 year old

[@dipropilenglicol]

@MrPhDGuy uoooooh! i love it jajajaja

[@reymist088]

if you look closely it looks like an eye. o.O

[@Ju__sike]

yup maybe its the eye of god.

[@timekeeper3767]

+Jusike Leighton Maybe its you wanting it to look like that.

[@KinetiK138]

@tipoomaster Fundamentalists of some stripe.

[@celshader]

Someone actually dislikes the universe. lol

[@DrSmokeTrees]

@EveTigrepaw No there isn't. Space exploration is the single greatest call to human kind. As long as we are locked onto one planet we can too easily be made extinct. If it wasn't for religious people we could have skipped the dark ages and be colonizing space by now. I saw we start catching up.

[@pedrito424]

Le falta un poco mas de tienpo al video

[@naedanger123]

@swansea2468 Bad luck friend. My Physics teacher was nice, but wasn't the type to hold a conversation with you outside of lesson time. Still, that's the past, and moping about the past and what it could have been is as pointless as putting wheels on a tomato. Still, as long as you actually learn, that is the key. My Biology teacher couldn't hold the attention of a class to save his life because he droned on and on and on... Fell asleep more than once. :D

[@naedanger123]

@swansea2468 It will be impossible to ever truly tell what is beyond our universe (if there is a beyond). At least, it will be impossible for as long as I'll be alive, so what do I care? Still, I would love to find out... I wish I had had a physics teacher like your's.

[@tipoomaster]

[@ripley8resurrection]

@cheomire sorry man. God gave us freewill. We can build and construct what we choose. If God made us quiet our minds and wait that wouldn't be free will. Free will consists of being able to choose between right and wrong and doing what we humans desire to do. He gave us the ability to love but also create. Religion isn't a simple matter of afterlife its a matter of creation and everything that you and I see now. The argument of God's existent subsides at the very point ofcreationitself

we live inside GOD
