When I was in elementary school I loved astronomy, I watched meteor showers, visually observed objects with my small Newton telescope etc. But later when I started to work I moved to a bigger city and this passion was somewhat forgotten. So, 2 years ago I was on a longer, work related trip on the other side of the globe. My job was hard and not necessarily what I enjoy the most, and I also missed the beautiful summer of my home second time in a row. So I decided to start something new and fun when I get home. It was that time when I started to watch this channel, and I quickly decided I'll get into astrophotography. I've never expected how much money and time I will spend, how many times will I freeze my *ss off outside during the cold winters, and how much frustration can be caused by such sensitive instruments. But still, the view of the summer/winter Milky Way, the first time I photograph an object and I see the first frames, or when I first see an integrated picture of an object with all the details and deepness... It was worth everything. So, thanks for getting me into this, and keep up the brilliant work - I am sure there are at least another 110 objects, which could, but eventually did not end up in Messier's catalogue. ;)
I didn't think M103 was gonna be a head turner, but that was excellent! Very cool to see its lower mass brethernen, riding up the curve soon to redden, swell and pop - like so many over heating light bulbs.
came here from Sixty Symbols video of Professor Merrifield talking about raindrops. i didn't even know about this channel, so it's quite a pleasant surprise!
Brady, it would be absolutly fantastic if you could get podcasts with the professors from Deepsky, Sixtysymbols like the numberphile2 pods. Please make it happen. And also thanks for the awsome content.
Reminds me of the Jewel Box cluster, one of my favorites. Don't think it's a Messier object though. Herschel described it as "a superb piece of fancy jewelry".😎
Completely fascinating. Send somebody over to the Chemistry department, please, and interview them about fun stuff in their discipline. If you can make open star clusters interesting, you can easily do the same for vicinal coupling in proton NMR spectroscopy.
The ESA Gaia mission should be able to get the exact distance to M103 using parallax, since it's able to measure distances tens of thousands of light-years away and the M103 is believed to be about 10,000 ly away. The previous mission, Hipparcos, could only measure up to about 1,600 ly.
Giant stars don't stop fusing hydrogen to helium. They start fusing helium into heavier elements on the periodic table inside a shell which is still fusing hydrogen to helium.
The stars in a cluster are the same age so at first glance the red giant is a star that happens to be in the way rather than part of the cluster. Turns out it is a member of M103 it just started life out much larger than it's siblings.
Seti Michael Maxwell star catalogs with star magnitudes, positions, identifications, colors, etc are freely available! At the most basic you can plot things in a spreadsheet, or if you want something more advanced you can learn some data processing with python, ruby, Julia, sagemath, matlab or other programming languages.
I love that you edited in a sky map to show its location, please do it again ! :)

Love it!...I am an old arm chair astrophysics wannabe out here in Chicago . ..delighted 60 Symbols still putting smart stuff out there!!
This is DeepSkyVideos and not 60symbols though :) ...and Im just an hobby-astro-loving-git.... :D
messier Messier objects
Prof Merrifield did it again. The joke never gets old. =)
@@rhoddryice5412 adjusts tie....no respect no respect i tell ya

Hope you enjoy it.
Great work explaining the paper! I wonder how difficult it is to figure out what methods to use for data analysis.
It's quite messy.
Thank you Professor Merrifield and DeepSkyVideos!

prof. Merrifield just exellent speaker !
Cool object, I’ve never tried to capture it yet.
I should figure I'd see someone like you here, Chuck!
@@robsbackyardastrophotograp8885 lol
Messier objects look quite messy.
Are you Sirius?
that's what you get when the criteria for inclusion is "this looks a bit fuzzy in my primitive telescope"
Lionel Messi can kick a few into the right place.
What about the blue hypergiant? Where is it in the image?
4:39 That kink in the isochrone, is that just a plotting error or some similar glitch, or is it another video? 😁
Penny Lane it’s real, and another video!
@@AstroMikeMerri If it's one that exists already, you don't happen to know enough of the title to find it?
Penny Lane not one we have made - sorry!
@@AstroMikeMerri Don't say that! As a millennial, delayed gratification is not my strong suit! 😅

I didn't understand the reasoning behind the last bit but it sounded nice.
Stellar evolution, fascinating topic
It looks a bit like the beautiful Jewel Box cluster (NGC 4755) in the constellation of Crux (the Southern Cross).
What about the Foodskey channel? No videos there in five years. Have you abandoned it? A statement would have been nice!

Doug Brower check out the channel Periodic Videos. It's the same college I believe and the same guy filming it.
Doesn't quite seem definitive. Were they not able to get absolute distance measurements from parallax imaging?
The ESA Gaia mission should be able to get the exact distance to M103 using parallax, since it's able to measure distances tens of thousands of light-years away and the M103 is believed to be about 10,000 ly away.

Giant stars don't stop fusing hydrogen to helium. They start fusing helium into heavier elements on the periodic table inside a shell which is still fusing hydrogen to helium.
When physicists talk about stars, we have a bad habit of not including the phrase "in the stellar core" every sentence, but it almost always applies.
So cool!
Cool stuff
come on must be M39 soon.
Interesting, I liked this episode.
Is professor Merrifield going to comment on the 2020 Nobel prize fort Physics? Yes please!
So what's the significance of a reg giant in a cluster of younger blue stars?
The stars in a cluster are the same age so at first glance the red giant is a star that happens to be in the way rather than part of the cluster. Turns out it is a member of M103 it just started life out much larger than it's siblings.
The Red Star Cluster of Cas. Communist Cluster? M103.
I see Brady's name and stop.
Deep sky? Read.
Merrifield? Click.
Happiness. Thanks!
Wouldn't you expect there to be more than one of the Red Giants?
I've seen this guy before on Brady's videos, I can't remember which channel but he may have appeared on his math and physics channel.
its kind of annoying how u decipher which stars should be in a harmony id liike to forgey abiu
Finally
every star is being pulled by a galaxty
Beautiful proof
So late... Shouldn't that be Messier^2 :-)
Those 9 dislikes are from flat earthers
Taking into account the courage that it takes to talk about yet another open cluster it is a job well done.
Yo
Thanks for the video. I wonder now how mortals can make those B-V diagrams.

Haha messier Messier objects 🖖
Click!
cuz its obvious
Obligatory messier comment
