The Sun is not just 100 times larger than Earth as the diameter is only one dimension and the Sun and Earth are three Dimensional objects. So the Sun is 100 ^3 the size of Earth, or about a million times bigger. The objects shown after the Sun are just starting to be too ridiculously large for normal people to seriously compare with everyday Earth sized objects.

7:01 No, you can fit ~1.3 million Earths in the Sun. When the diameter of a sphere is e.g. 10x bigger, the surface area is much more higher and the volume is insanely higher (as for area u use power of 2 of the sphere's radius (r^2) and in volume you use power of 3 of the radius (r^3).

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind boggling big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." -- Douglas Adams (1979): The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Omega Centauri is a globular cluster of an estimated 10 million stars at a distance from us of 17090 light years to its center. It is thought to be the core remnant of a disrupted dwarf galaxy that became embedded within our much larger Milky Way galaxy and may have an intermediate mass black hole at it's core holding those stars in it's gravitational embrace. It is called Omega Centauri because it is the area of observable sky defined by astronomers as being within the general direction of the constellation Centaurus, the centaur. It's a convenient way of saying look in that direction. This globular cluster is thus in the same general direction of the relatively nearby [4.25 light years] red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, but is more than 4000 times further away; so the two really have almost nothing to do with each other, other than being in a similar line of sight, more-or-less.

Just to give you a sense of 'local' astronomical distances; I built an Inner Solar System model in my yard. I live in Northeast Ohio. OK, so the sun is an orb 12" across. The Earth, about the size of a pea, is 151 feet away. Driving down the street, there would be a ping-pong ball-sized Neptune about 7/8 of a mile away. Proxima Centauri, our nearest neighboring star, would be the size of a softball sitting on the island of Hawaii, around 5,000 miles away.

A little free info here: Ceres is the largest of the asteroids, Callisto is one of the 95 moons of Jupiter, Neptune is a gas giant, and Uranus is an ice giant, and outermost in our solar system. To piggyback on what you know, Proxima Centauri is in the Alpha Centauri system, which is composed of 3 stars. Although the sun is about 100 X as wide as Earth, filling all the space in it would require 1 million or so earths. If you watched Star Trek, you may remember some episodes being on planets of Arcturus and Rigel (RYE-jul), Betelgeuse is BEETLE-juice. Omega Centauri is a GLOB-you-ler Cluster, and the Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy near us, and only 6600 light years across.

To give a little perspective of some of what you saw: Betelgeuse is the largest star in the constellation Orion, which can be seen in the northern hemisphere usually from fall to spring each year and is about 600 light years away, so what we see today actually came from it 600 years ago. It made a lot of news over the last 5-7 years because it dimmed considerably at one point, like more than 50% of its light disappeared. Scientists believe it was a massive ejection of its own plasma that caused a clouding effect that made it seem dim. The star is so massive that when it dies, it will explode in a supernova so bright that it will be visible here during the daytime AND will be the 3rd brightest thing in the sky for potentially years until it dissipates. We have no idea when it will go supernova, but it is known that the star is nearing the end of its life and the mass ejection it did could be a precursor to it going supernova, but that could still be thousands of years away...but it would be really friggin' cool to see in our lifetime! The Cat's Eye Nebula it said is roughly 3 lightyears in diameter. This means that it could fit easily between our solar system and Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor that is about 4 lightyears away. What they didn't show you hear is the other pieces, such as the Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to our own and which we will "collide" with in several billion years time. They also didn't show the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies to which we are a part of, nor the other parts of the universe we fit into. They kind of cut it off for timing, I think.

Neptune is pretty huge 50 Earths could fit inside it by volume. Neptune also has more mass than Uranus despite being a little smaller. Also that's not Neptune's real color, it's closer to Uranus's color but slightly more blue. While it won't happen in our lifetimes, Betelgeuse is near the end of its life and will likely go supernova sometime in the next 100,000 years. If humans are around to see it, it should be visible during the day. It's around 600 LY away, and is far enough away that Earth won't be harmed.

It's also the brightest star in the entire sky, with a magnitude of -1.46, and sits about 8.6 light years away. I say Sirius A because it has a companion star, Sirius B, which is almost impossible to see because of A's brightness. UY Scuti is one of the largest stars ever discovered, at 909 times the size of the sun. The current largest known star, WOH G64, is 1540 times the size of the sun, plus or minus 77 solar radii. Multiply the sun's radius (435,000 miles) by 2 for the diameter, and then AGAIN by 1540 means the size of this star is just under 2.7 BILLION miles in diameter.

I always love how people are awed by the scale of everything in the universe, as they should be, and how we often say how tiny and insignificant we are in comparison. While this is true I always remind myself that as far as we know we are also the only things in the universe who can comprehend this idea and be awed by it while also striving to understand it, just as you guys are doing here. And that makes us just as special and amazing as the rest of the universe. ☺

On a cosmic scale we are so irrelevant yet our pride and the way we are wont let us realize that we as a species is all we have. It’s quiet out in the universe excluding the occasional supernovas. I’m a big fan of the cosmos and yet watching videos like these still blow my mind. I’m glad i was born at a time where we can discover these things and see how big things really are but also saddened that I won’t be around to get to explore it.

To help in your understanding of the object names - "[Latin Name e.g. alpha, beta] + Centauri" just means "the first, second, etc item identified in the AREA of the sky humans identify as containing a constellation, which we call Centauri". If you think of the night sky we see, as being a pattern of lights projected onto the inside of a sphere, with Earth in its centre, then constellations are just names for regions of that inner surface, which human divide up using imaginary drawn borders. These regions were dreamed up by early astronomers and named loosely for ancient Greek and Roman constellation names. They mostly served to divide that 'inner surface' up so observers here could refer to the different sources of light they saw in those areas. Also, some of the 'lights' within, as an example, the Centaurus constellation, are stars near to our Sun, while other 'Centauri' objects are stars far away, and others are entire galaxies or nebulas, but those are so much further away that they are far dimmer to us than the stars I just mentioned, which appear to be just next to them from our point of view.

Actually about 1 million Earths fit in the photosphere of the Sun. You have to fill all the volume not just a line of planets. Also, the photosphere is just where the photons (light) delineates the edge but the actual size of the sun, which is a gas ball and has no exact edge could be up to twice this size.

Our very own Milky Way galaxy is actually also in a void too! It's called the KBC or the Local Hole, not be confused with the Local Void, since our galaxy and the region around is considerably emptier, ofc not as big as the Bootes Void tho. Also it's said that 80% of the Known Universe is filled with these kinda voids so there's def more to the universe than what we know and see. Also, might I interest you in introducing my personal favourite exoplanet, Kepler 16-b! It is famously known that in that planet, your shadow always has company, meaning the planet has 2 suns; a binary system and I just think it's so fascinating! The Proxima Centauri star that showed up in the video is famously known to have 2 planets and a few more candidates planets some of which are dwarfs.1 one of those 2 planets is known to be very close in size to earth and possibilities of life formation was considered too. I believe it's either called the Proxima Centauri b or the Alpha Centauri b

One of the most mind-boggling things about our universe is how fast it is expanding, as galaxies grow farther and farther apart at an almost unfathomable rate. For hundreds of years, scientists assumed that the force of gravity must be drawing objects in the universe closer together. Then Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is actually expanding, leading to the discovery of the previously unknown "dark energy" that is so much stronger than gravity (which is the weakest of the four standard forces) that it is in fact driving us apart. Add to that the fact that many respected physicists believe that ours is only one of many universes in existence, and it demonstrates that in our great-grandchildren's lifetime, living in 2024 will truly be considered life in the Dark Ages.

2:44 Not twice the size. Twice the diameter. The surface is a heck of a lot more than twice the size of the moon. The surface of the Moon is about 38 million square kilometers; the surface of Mars is about 144.4 million square kilometers and the surface of Earth is about 510.1 million square kilometers. Ceres (the first object in the list and one of the dwarf planets) has a surface of just 2.85 million square kilometers which is more or less the size of Argentina. 4:30 Come on, Neptune is a gas giant. All gas giants that we know of are much larger than any rock planet that we know of. 7:04 A LOT more than a hundred times the Earth! Again, don't confuse the diameter with the actual size. If talking about the diameter you'd need 109 Earths to match the diameter of the Sun, however if we're talking about volume you'd need 1.3 million Earths. The mass of the sun is 330,000 times the mass of Earth and about 700 times the mass of all 8 planets combined.

You guys felt that way about the size of black holes. Because the majority of black holes are extremely small compared to the large ones. Because there are more than one kind of black holes and the most common is the 1 you were referring to are black holes that are formed by the explosion of certain kinds of stars. Thus, the size being as small as it is. But the less numerous but huge black holes are the ones that you find at the center of every Known Galaxy to date. Those black holes like the one in the center of our very own Milky Way has the gravity to actually hold into orbit the hundreds of billions of stars that circle the center of the galaxy, which is a black hole. They are commonly referred to as super black holes. So you were not incorrect in your assumption. That black holes were much smaller than you saw in this video because you just simply were referring to a certain type of black hole.

They're called supermassive black holes (yes, like the Muse song). They don't really hold the galaxies together. The combined mass of all the matter does that (black hole, all the stars, dark matter, etc.). The black hole at the center plays only a small part. But yeah, they're pretty damn big and impressive.

@@Yggdrasil42 The black holes of the center of Galaxy's do in fact, hold the galaxy together. Yes, the mass created by the number of stars in a Galaxy. Do play a role as you mentioned. But the fact is, you can take any Galaxy. And suddenly remove the black hole at the center. And in fact, that Galaxy will over the course of time separate and it will stop orbiting the center of the black hole because without the black hole to begin with, there is nothing to orbit around. The stars may hold their position based on their interaction of gravity. We can each other, but there's no way that 200 billion stars are not going to scatter over the course of time without a black hole in the center. Basically, it's a combination of what I said and what you pointed out.

Technically what we see with black holes isn't the black hole itself. The gravity pulls in everything, even light, the black sphere is the absence of light caused by the intense gravity. The truly crazy part is that not only does it eat light, it warps it as well. The light from behind the black hole would warp around it and appear in the front. The Black hole in Interstellar was actually extremely realistic. They fed the math into a simulation to render what matter and light would do orbiting a black hole forming the accretion disk of high energy particles that would appear from the front like the ring is warping up top and down below the circumference even though the ring would be as perfectly circular as Saturn's due to the orbit. We don't know what is at the center of a black hole because there is actually no physical way to observe anything past the event horizon or the sphere of influence where the gravity sucks up the light. Ton-618 is that large because its extreme mass has a wider field of influence so it absorbs more light, making it appear that large even if you follow the theory that there is a singularity at the center. A singular point that is infinitely small but contains so much mass that its gravitational forces have enough influence to warp light, space, and time. I say time as it is relative and as you approach and enter its gravitational influence time starts to slow down, if you feel into one theoretically based on the math you'd see the universe's time speed up behind you as darkness slowly encroaches on your peripheral until the circle you can visually see the universe on the other side of would slowly shrink until nothing is left but blackness. But that is assuming you don't get killed by any of the thousands of things that would kill you in that scenario. Spaghettification being the most famous killer, even though you'd most likely be dead before it happens to you, as you pass the event horizon and sink deeper, you start falling faster. But not all of you, the parts closer to the center start falling faster, stretching your atomic makeup into a single string of atoms falling into the center. Not to go off about it, shit is truly wild how it works, even wilder that we aren't looking at the black hole itself and we most likely never will be able to see anything beyond the event horizon. Also Sirius A is SUPER important, it is the North star, not like the north pole star, the actual North star that we've used to navigate at sea and to help with bearings when lost as it is the brightest star in the nights sky visible to the naked eye.
