    In this segment of our "How far away is it" video book, we cover interacting or colliding galaxies.
    We begin with the trajectory of Andromeda with respect to our Milky Way. They are on a collision course. We describe what it means for galaxies to collide given the great distances between stars within each galaxy.
    We then take a look at some of the interacting galaxies photographed by the Hubble Telescope. These include: NGC 2207 with IC 2163; Apr 256; NGC 6240; the Tadpole Galaxy; UCG 1810 with UCG 1813; The Mice; the spectacular APR 147; NGC 454; and peculiar galaxy NGC 7603 with its multiple red-shift objects;
    Next, we discuss how we go about seeing a process that takes a billion years by observing interactions at various stages along the process as understood by computer simulations. Here are a few that illustrate the phases of an interaction: the initial approach -- NGC 6786 with LEDA 62867; first contact -- VV 304A with VV 304B; penetration -- Mayall's Object; out the other side -- ESO 77-14; wrap around -- VV 705; merge -- The Owl. We then show the computer simulation of a collision and highlight the above galaxies along the way.
    We end with another simulation. This time it's the collision between Andromeda and the Milky Way.

    This Video changed my life. towards the end @ 19:00 I started to cry, I can't believe we are able to see how galaxies collide! Something we won't be able to fully witness because of the time scale, but by seeing all these examples we can fathom what happens in our universe. I think James Webb is going to scare the poop out of us~

    Hey David, When i see your videos, It just humbles me and makes me feel blessed that we have this life to live on this small planet inside this galaxy of ours. Galactic collisions are the life blood of the universe is what i have learned from this video. I have been hearing about this collision phenomena for quite some time but couldn't really understand the whole process. Now i do have a pretty good understanding. It's sad that our's is also headed for a collision in a few billion years from now.I also have read somewhere that nearly around a few billion years from now,the sun will end all life on earth because of surface temperature here on earth exceeding above 400°C or so because of the changes in the sun due to it's dying. So even if a collision happens ,there won't be anything left on this burning planet at that time which could see that, I guess. We should be truly blessed that we could observe and understand at-least this much even though it hasn't been too long ago that we started learning about these phenomena.It's also interesting to note some of the probabilities that are specified in the paper published by T. J. Cox and Abraham Loeb of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics about this collision between M31 and our galaxy such as the Sun being pushed out in to the outer halo region of the newly forming galaxy which they have named as (Milkomeda) or that our Sun getting ejected out of the disk of Milky way in to the tidal arms of the materials which will be thrown out of the Milky way. The ending of this video was just darn perfect. Could not have been better. Thanks very much for this.
    Eagerly waiting for the Voyager update from you.

    The Hubble images have astonishing resolution considering the distance. I liked the space, fantasy, new age music in this episode, especially the one by Vangelis. Other people seem to be fans of classical, which works fine, because its complex, largely unrecognizable pattern sets it behind the speech on another level.

    They are looking at the Milkyway Galaxy as a typical spiral galaxy that will eventually collide with Andromeda.

      +Tucker i feel simular but in the way that these objects are so far away that we'll never get to see them 1st hand. but it is also amazing how much we knowledge we can get about these objects from our viewpoint on earth.
      what is interesting is that the bible says the heavens will be rolled up and a new heaven created. that term rolled up is fascinating cos it is the opposite of what the universe is doing ie expanding.

    • @Nightsd01
      @Nightsd01 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      If someone in the Middle Ages had fully understood the enormity and scale of the solar system, the distance just from the earth to the moon would have seemed unimaginable. And now we've sent probes out beyond the heliopause.
      With some sort of mechanism to provide constant acceleration or maybe taking advantage of wormholes, it's possible one day humans could travel between galaxies in a single human lifetime (it sounds ridiculous but due to general relativity it's completely true WITH a constant acceleration). Of course, by then we'll be AI's, but still it's cool to imagine.

    The distances, time, and forces involved in the interacting of galaxies is mind boggling and humbling. What is the span of human existence to the life of galaxies. All of our innovations and civilizations are less than an eye blink in comparison. And the life of an individual human is even less than that.
    Now take it even further and imagine interacting universes!

    My opinion is that not only is there more than one explanation for red shift but that the interpretation of redshift itself may need to be totally revise just based on NGC galaxies. Of course if that does happen a lot of things will go topsy turvey for astronomers and cosmologists.

    If the universe is expanding equally in all directions, what causes two galaxies to merge together from two different directions?

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Gravitationally bound systems stay bound even as space expands. You can think of it this way. Hold a pencil in your hand. The space between the pencil and the floor is expanding (as is all space everywhere). Now let go of the pencil. It falls to the floor even though the space is expanding. To see more about how this works, check out the "How Old Is It" video book.

    It kind of blows my mind how in reality (atleast relative to the size of the universe) how slow andromeda is moving towards us. It is moving at slightly over 100 kilometers a second, which in earth terms is incredibly fast, but at that speed it would still take 10 seconds for the andromeda Galaxy to go from me to my grandmas house.

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +IrrepressibleGuile Mr Irrepressible We determine distance via redshift with the understanding that the redshift has the one cause (i.e. the velocity of the receding object). If there is another cause, it could change our understanding about the size of the universe and the acceleration of its expansion. These two items are key to the reverse engineering that gave us the big bang.

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think astronomers need to look into this more deeply. Accidental alignment is real, but some quasars might just be redshifting via a different mechanism. I'm wait to see more data myself. But a new reason for a redshift doesn't through out all existing redshift interpretations, it just requires more categorization of redshifts.

    I really enjoy and respect this series, Mr. Butler, and though I want to bring some things up about it, I do not want it to be taken as anything other than attempts at complementary criticism, a la science, etc. First, I have always wanted to see some far away object presentations with the statements around the actual times involved. So, for instance, if two colliding galaxies are 100 million light years away, it would be cool to hear, instead of 10 million years ahead, what will have happened 90 million light years ago, etc. I know this kind of time description is grammatically harder to construct, and I fear it may make it less interesting to others, but it would interest me. Second, in this case, I have recently read somewhere that now they believe Andromeda is actually smaller than the Milky Way. If I and the alleged astronomers are not wrong about this, it would be nice to see that simulation reformulated to the new scale. Thank you Mr. Butler for your very enjoyable and rewarding work in these videos.

      Propably nothing. The distances between the Planets and Stars are too great. If humans still live they would have a beautiful night sky tho. But that's all there is, any civilisation at that time would only see milkdromeda and nothing else because all the other galaxys moved over the light horizon so no Hubble or whatsoever can detect any galaxy or stars outside milkdromeda - that means they will think that their galaxy is the only one in the vast space. Perhaps they could find our earth and find out about the milky way and everything else.

      +ɥɔɐǝʎqǝpısʎʇʇɐɯʎʇʇɐɯ Very interesting. The debate ought to heat up over time. I know other respected astronomers who want to see this effect analysed more closely.

    on the mystery of ngc 7603b red shift. i believe that astronomers fail to recognise that red shift is not only caused by a galaxy moving away, but also by energy production/higgs boson interaction. they not only move away, they also make atoms and light, both of which require space. kinda like a rocket in all directions but more like an open faucet.

    The mathematics required also amaze me. My degrees are in Business and Economics so my "math" is far lacking. My 37 year old son has 6 years of college/university to be a senior Engineer and I remember looking over his shoulder a few times when he was only 19 and the math equations totally baffled me Sure, I'm a Mensa member but the MATH still amazes me and I'm 60. What if some other species exists that think of Man's mathematics is that of an Ant? Life's Mysteries should amaze us, Creator or Not...

    Thanks Mr. Butler for the fine video. Regarding NGC 7603 and the redshift result compared to NGC 7603B; has this anomaly been observed at other locations? What does this mean for using red shift as part of the distance ladder?

    Mr. Butler, could it be that black matter is the result of black hole residue after the digestion of matter that exits a black hole and is the place in which we call space and is also the reason why space expands as black hole keep making more instead of what some suggest that it creates other universes?.

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      We don't know what 'dark matter' is just yet. But we do know somethings about how it interacts with normal and other dark matter. (See the 2015 update for more info on this: th-cam.com/video/dw_Uw4ueFkw/w-d-xo.html). With so little known, I don't think we can rule out vast numbers of very small black holes.

    If the Universe is expanding, I thought that meant that everything was moving away from everything else. So how is it that galaxies collide? I know that gravity causes collisions, but, if two galaxies are far enough apart to have formed in the first place, and if the Universe is expanding, how do the galaxies get close enough to fall under the effects of each other's gravity?

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      if you drop a pen, gravity will pull it through the space between it and the surface of the Earth in spite of the fact that the space it will travel through is expanding. This is true for all objects under a local gravitational pull that is stronger than the general expansion that is happening everywhere.

    • @Tadesan
      @Tadesan 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      it would be completely anticlimactic. I suspect that at its most spectacular the collision would look just like our everyday night sky but with double the number of stars in the sky. You’d honestly have to be an astronomer to even tell.

    David Butler, Where did you get the simulation of the collision of the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way ? I love that simulation but I could not find it on the internet. I am referring to the simulation that makes Andromeda Red and the Milky Way Blue. Where did you find it? pls respond a day from now.mBTW i am interested in astronomy.

    Beautiful Mr. Butler. Stunning. I have one question, will the super massive black holes of Andromena and our own milky way merge? Is it a guarantee that all central super massive black holes of galaxies merging will ultimately form into one or are there exceptions? I watched all of your videos, thanks so much!

    • @howfarawayisit
      @howfarawayisit  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The central black holes are expected to merge - eventually. And thanks for watching the video books. The Big Bang Theory should be out soon.
