      as far as I know , the largest super-earth exoplanets have a diameter about 2X that of earth . aswell as and about 8X Earth's mass
      and altho it's theoreticaly possible for a superEeart to be ~3X diameter of earth , . it requires as much rock , minerals and metals as the mass of neptune , and that it's far more likely to develop into a gas giant than staying as terrestrial world

      @tfolsenuclear The Bootes Void is not a black hole. It is just a very empty region of space - an area this size should have about 2000 galaxies in it, however there are only 60 galaxies in the Bootes Void.

    So, 94 GLY is the radius of the observable universe, adjusted for current location. They just took a rough estimate and doubled that, and were saying it was more than 150 GLY

    For Context. The Bootes Void is a very large region of Space that has way les glaxies than it technically should. In the amount of space, it is astronomers and Astrophysicist say there should be about 2,000 glxies, but there's only bout 60. In a space 330 million lightyears in diameter. From nerd to nerd ❤😊 Love the videos

    Kurzgesagt has really good videos about the sizes of things. If going small, then there's one till the quantum level & for going up there's a star video & then there's the black hole ones. I dont remember which ones you've reacted to.

    Fun fact: by some definitions our moon isn't a moon because it's too close in size to Earth. In fact, it technically is large enough to qualify as a planet (not dwarf planet like Pluto, full-on planet), so it's not wrong to say Earth and the moon are a binary planet system. The effect of the moon's gravity on Earth is another point for this being a binary planet system.
    I feel like if humanity ever advances far enough to build Dyson spheres, the first one will be around a star of similar size to Proxima Centauri.
    Also, Betelgeuse is 100% pronounced like Beetlejuice. Actually, in the movie, any time you see the titular character's name spelled out (like in the commercial for his services as a bio-exorcist), it's spelled like the star.
    NGC1277 is actually a galaxy with a black hole at the center. From the size they're giving, though, it does seem like they're referring to specifically the black hole; though they're using outdated data. Modern calculations put it as an order of magnitude smaller that the old measurements. It's currently thought to be about 4 light-days across, which is quite a bit smaller than the measurement they've given. The galaxy is about 52000 ly across.
    The Bootes Void is interesting, it's a massive approximately spherical area in space containing an extremely low density of detectable galaxies. If the Milky Way were in the center of the Bootes Void, we wouldn't have had the technology to detect the existence of other galaxies until the 1960s.
    The size they use for the universe is one of the theoretical maximum sizes of the universe, not just the observable universe. There are several different models that attempt to estimate the size of the universe beyond the observable universe, which is why there's a < after it. The number is approximately the result of the largest model, so to current science that's the largest it could be. Doesn't seem to be widely agreed that we actually know how to properly calculate that.

      I think in order for something to count as a binary planet the barycenter should be in space. So that would count Pluto-Charon but not Earth-Moon

    Actually, the average mass of a star in most galaxies is .8 solar masses (and .64 solar radii), so the Sun is above average. We just have some HUGE stars out there.

    5:04 Black Holes in those sizes can no longer have ((visible)) accretion discs because their gravity is so strong, that nothing can orbit any longer (in that close proximity together) but everything in reach get's directly pulled in.. ;)

    • @Kenshkrix
      @Kenshkrix ปีที่แล้ว

      That's not how gravity works.
      Anything in a stable orbit will remain orbiting regardless of whether it's orbiting a planet, a star, or a black hole.
      While stable orbits naturally decay, this rate is mostly independent of what they're orbiting.

    • @hackbyte
      @hackbyte ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KenshkrixThat's absolutely right and correct..
      The point is, it can't create a _visible_ accretion disk anymore..
      There are possible orbits, still.... but you won't see them heating up and glowing in any perceptible spectrum anymore. ;)

      @@hackbyte I assume this has something to do with the change in gravitational gradient near the event horizon as a black hole becomes more massive?
      I've never actually thought about the exact math of accretion disks as related to the size of the event horizon.

    • @hackbyte
      @hackbyte ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KenshkrixI can't recount details sadly. But the basics were - as far as i remember - that beyond a certain size, any possible accretion disk is no longer be able to get that dense that it heats up and starts radiating (especially in a visible or even near visible spectrum).
      Which yes and sorry, essentially means, there might be accreting matter in a probably short lived orbit. But it cannot become/accrete as nearly as dense as it would be with smaller black hole masses.
      I tried to find some research about that last night, but had to give up at some point.
      I got this "very bare" explanation at least confirmed by some few astro- and plasma-physicists. Not so many years ago. ;) (yeah i know that doesn't mean sh.. ;) but .... at least i'm confident that the real papers will agree. ;))
      Edit: p.s.: Heck i'm actually going to ask said scientist (still in the same irc chat) about it..... ;)

    Based on the number of 250 trillion (250,000,000,000,000) miles for the cat’s eye nebula, that would make it over 26 ly. From what I could Google, both the Cat’s eye and Helix nebulae are about 2.5-3 ly in diameter, so while the images and general scales are accurate, the data on some of the images seems to be off by a bit.
