I wonder if they'll do the same thing as when they observed the others galaxy black hole, where they synchronized all the earth telescopes too I really hope they would do that along with Hubble and the spitzer telescope that would be amazing 😍
I don't think they will. It's not the first infrared telescope. They already looked at the center with infrared telescope. Moreover, JWST was designed to work for collecting light from very distant star systems.
@@_vortech_ at absolute zero you are moving with zero velocity no matter the point of reference. This is because heat is kinetic energy. If you have 0 kinetic energy, you either have 0 mass, or 0 velocity. (KE = 1/2 mv^2)
A very rough estimate based on what I'm seeing on screen gives me that these 2 stars are moving at ~3% the speed of light. EDIT: oops forgot time is relative! Most probably my calculation is very wrong since gravity is a lot higher there i.e. time runs much slower than on Earth (or Neptune).
@@admiralnlson damn youre right! I havent thought about that either. So maybe they would be moving even faster in our time. But do you think that time is moving slower there? I mean the star is roughly as far away as neptune. That are 30 AU! ~2.6 billion miles. So maybe it would be even too far away for the gravity to curve time...? I dont know if I am right..
@@dominik-bb4mz I'm not sure either. But we're talking about inverse square law so, yes, I would imagine only the mass of the star itself matters (no pun intended), not the one of the black hole which is 'too far'. I discussed this on the side and someone redirected me to the "Sagittarius A* cluster" wikipedia page, which indicates that the fastest of these stars reaches a speed of 8% c.
@@admiralnlson yeah we are talking about inverse square lawa. 8 % of the speed of light is pretty high but I even thought that it would be higher That are about 24 000 km per second. That is 120 times faster than the sun is traveling the milky way. No wonder, it has to move that or it would get pulled to sagittarius a*
It really helped superimposing that circle indicating the size of Neptune's orbit in giving a sense of scale. Combined with the date indicator, it really showed how fast those stars were moving around the supermassive black hole.
I could imagine the chaotic and crazy view in the sky if you were on say a planet or something close to there I can imagine the chaos for those stars to orbit as fast as they do around the black hole indicates how powerful Sagittarius a-star really is
Almost fivehundred years ago a man named Galileo Galilei saw our moon through a piece of glass like no one has ever seen it before. Now we watch stars dancing round a black hole. What a time to be alive!

yeah it's pretty nice if it's real data. I was thinking that the flashes are bodies being swallowed. Either luminous from agitation or the unknown cosmic jet effect which can be extremely bright. Imagine if some of these star systems are inhabited. Quite a ride. Fortunately it seems UFO propulsion tech which we would have had already if not for hijacking of our culture would seem to be plenty to leave a planet despite the influence of the black hole.
According to Wikipedia, the closest star passing near the black hole travelled at 8% of speed of light, which is 24000 km/s - 800 times faster than Earth around the Sun.
Whoever's responsible for the idea of hooking up an infrared device to a telescope should get unlimited kudos for life. This is just short of a miracle being able to see the center of the milky way through all of that dust. And that black hole must be immense to be able to effect that much of a gravitational pull on all those stars. It's kinda like a solar system, with planets orbiting their star except it's not a star....... well, a collapsed star, and instead of planets circling around a sun, its stars orbiting a black hole.
"It's kind of like a solar system." Flex your imagination a bit, and you will realize that the entire galaxy is orbiting that black hole, not just these closest in. Our star, too, is orbiting that black hole, just as the Oort Cloud orbits the Sun.
If a star passes too close, the differential gravity across the star disrupts the entire solar sphere. It's a tide that rips a star front to back. "Spaghettification" happens. Some of the star may survive, but much of the mass will join the black hole's accretion disk.

Whoa! It covers a diameter of Neptune's orbit within 1-2 weeks? That's insane! The S55 star has orbital period is only 12.8 years. The S62 orbits every 9.9 years. I wonder if these stars still have any planets around them or if they were torn off by the black hole..
Hmm, wikipedia says the S62 on its close approach moves at 0.1 speed of light. We should be observing some pretty strong relativistic effects here, no? The light coming from this star should be considerably red-shifted on its close approach compared to when it's on the far end of its orbit.
@@kyjo72682 you'd only notice red shifting if it was moving away from us. Its orbit is perpendicular to our viewpoint, so it does not approach or recede from us
@@danielmconnolly7 This isn't CGI. Just because you can't comprehend doesn't mean it isn't reality. That's why refrain from putting embarrassing comments.
That is extremely cool considering that we finally have dim enough answers to find the whip forces and videotape them in action, would have been quite scary seeing stars going in and out of existence simply based off of the limitation of light speed
Em um momento o telescópio usado parece transformado em um microscópio onde passamos a observar algo vivo. Realmente impressionante poder observar o centro de nossa galáxia de onde se origina todas as outras forças de formação da mesma. Energias imensas devem existir por ali.
The truth is probably that space is so big eventually we will reach a point in time where the vastness of space is just to beyond comprehension meaning " All the smartest mathematicians in the world combined couldn't even come up with a number or even give an estimate to describe the vastness of space.
The real question should be "how much will space stretch" because evidence shows at one point it was infinitely small but just started stretching, and no, not expanding because that would assuming its expanding into something. That will probably never be confirmed because space stretches faster than the speed of light making it impossibly to reach an "edge" if there is one
I think of two things when I see this. The view from a planet orbiting one of those stars would have an amazing view. Also, the time dilation has got to be crazy when they speed by A* at their fastest speed and then slow down at their farthest. Crazy.
wow ... hopefully in a few hundred years, we have the tech to travel to these places. but looking at this video makes me feel i am there . its so peaceful
There is some sparks of light coming from sagittarius-A. And it’s amazing to me just how fast the stars are orbiting the black hole 🕳️ 💫. I wonder how planets… if any, fair in such a region.
I think it's something else. The star traveling right to left skips ahead in the same region where that orbiting star speeds up, but there is no path alteration. Then it all looks like stones in the bottom of a swimming pool, unless you just have to believe it, then yeah, it looks like what you want it to be.
Don't forget that all the stars at the disk we see at the start of the video also orbits that supermassive black hole. That reach of gravity is mind-boggling.
If more people were involved in this then this would be a better world. This is outstanding. I have been interested in science and space since I took Astronomy 101 in college.
Can you explain how watching a black hole or the stars in general, makes this to be a better world? Doesn't make sense honestly. Science has and always will be a trial of violence.
It makes me wonder…. …if there has, or is, a civilization that grew up very close to the black hole at the center of our galaxy (or any galaxy) and what that would have been like to their scientists? How close can a self aware civilization be to a black hole without feeling tremendous gravitational pulls that must affect evolution? Or will evolution find a way and there are civilizations alive on a planet circle stars such as S55?
Here is my question. At the 1:28 mark, how close are those stars from each other as they make their rotation. Question 2.. If the pull of the black hole is so strong, then why on its pass does the star not change orbit? Slingshot mindset is what I picture is they Come in super close and get flung away yet they don't get flung away, and they don't get sucked in. Why do the orbits not change?
I can only hope that they will discover an instrument that will be able to read/see gravity force in a visible manner, more obvious than how they detect it now by how it affects nearby objects... But in a vissible way like they do detects gamma and other "invisible to naked eye" waves... That will definitelly make any black hole visible.
Gamma rays are still light, thats why we can see them with instruments. Gravity is a force, not a wave, so i dont think it would work the way you think it does.
I can only imagine what the James Webb Space Telescope is going to capture these huge space-based telescopes are getting more and more complex and can see deeper into space man I thought Hubble was something when it launched but this telescope right here it's something else something special I could imagine living at the center of the Milky Way how chaotic the orbits of those stars are and not to mention the radiation there must be off the charts I mean hypothetically speaking just say if you could go there you would probably fry by the time you reach Sagittarius A star and if you just so happen to make it to Sagittarius a-star unharmed just know it won't last for long so the last thing you probably should do is as you're going into the Event Horizon turn around start doing the moonwalk so that way the people looking from the outside-in will see you as doing the moonwalk your last thing you did before you red shift into nothing and I've become one with the universe
Most of those stars are really huge, and being huge they live fast then die young, they probably didn't exist when the Earth formed. So those dancing stars are constantly being replaced. That is mind boggling
I wonder, what would it feel like if you were to stand on that close proximity star orbiting the black hole? The speed that star is moving has to be insane. Would it be like being caught in a tornado? Wind gusts and storms? Would you notice anything at all besides a perspective shift of the black hole?
Miracle 1: The plains apes built a telescope that views the universe in infrared, then launched it all crunched up aboard a rocket ship that basically was too small to carry it but it unfolded perfectly and it works! Miracle 2: The JWT is in orbit around the Earth in a LaGrange point and the Earth is in orbit around Sol, which in turn is meandering within a spiral arm that is orbiting around the Milky Way. The multi-orbits are not the miracle. The miracle is that the plains apes were able to accurately measure the orbital movements to such an extent that some mathematical genius among them was able to program the JWT's gyros such that the telescope's orbital movements were counteracted sufficiently to provide a nearly perfectly steady image of the stars orbiting Sag A* instead of just smears of light across the detectors. WHOA! WTF 1: How long did JWT have to hold perfectly still with respect to Sag A*, in order to document the months(?) long orbits of Sag A*'s minions?
All simulations of orbits around Sagittarius A (including this one) that I have seen appear to show the orbits of the nearby stars in a plane apparently/approximately perpendicular to our point of view. However, in the center of our galaxy wouldn't it be more likely that orbits around such a massive object would be at almost any angle (the way an electron cloud encompasses the hydrogen nucleus) with our viewpoint being just matter of biased perspective?
The average lifespan of those massive stars is 10-20 million years and you are only seeing it 27000 light years away. So, they are all there. The life cycle of a star is too huge when compared to 27k light years.
Just look at the crazy curve that star S29 got just bcz it passed nearby the black hole,it didn't get completely sucked in bcz of it's crazy speed,the pull from the black hole is scary..
Question: how is it one can see the rotations of stars whose periods are months or more? Given the inevitable preciousness of viewing time on the Very Large Telescope it is not possible to have continuously watched that one section of the sky for the required time. So, the movement as depicted must have been obtained from a simulation based on calculated orbits, right? Like a lot of stuff in astrophysics today the line between simulated reality and real reality is blurry, I think.
You're right on!!! Anyone who believes everything that "science" gives us is very naive. Most of this information is from over zealous scientists with an agenda. They are theories; and a theory NEVER creates a fact; it reaches its fruition when it explains a fact which already exists.
@@ThePaleBlueDot-m3e I looked it up and the optical resolution of the upcoming James Webb Telescope is about 0.1 arcsec (it depends on the wavelength). At that resolution the telescope won't be able to distinguish objects at the center of the galaxy that are less than about 30 billion miles apart. That's about 10 times the distance from Neptune to the sun. The Very Large Telescope, with a claimed angular resolution of 0.002 arcsec would probably be about to resolve objects 50 times closer together or about the size of the orbit of Jupiter.
Easy to answer. They didnt observed IT in one straight shot. They made pictures days and weeks appart. But the stars around Sagittarius take at least 12 years for an orbit so this is enough.
@@ThePaleBlueDot-m3e learn First what a theorie is my foolish boy. Theories are concepts including observations and mathematical calculations. And if IT works IT turnes from a hypophesis to he theorie. Like gravity and the theorie of reletivity IT is proven countless of times and until you can disproof it it is true.
Let me see if i get this right. They zoomed it to the centre of milky way galaxy, which is almost blocked by millions of stars and other galactic objects and tracked the motion of a single star among millions,around an area, which they tell is a blackhole. It's almost like these people never entered a crowded area and searched for their companion some 10 feet away.
Can't wait for the James Webb to look into the centre of our galaxy. Its going to be a game changer.
I wonder if they'll do the same thing as when they observed the others galaxy black hole, where they synchronized all the earth telescopes too I really hope they would do that along with Hubble and the spitzer telescope that would be amazing 😍

Hmm, wikipedia says the S62 on its close approach moves at 0.1 speed of light. We should be observing some pretty strong relativistic effects here, no? The light coming from this star should be considerably red-shifted on its close approach compared to when it's on the far end of its orbit.
@@kyjo72682 you'd only notice red shifting if it was moving away from us. Its orbit is perpendicular to our viewpoint, so it does not approach or recede from us
It is very exciting to watch the video of this event.
Dude, it's CGI Cartoons. 😑
@@danielmconnolly7 I know, but this is a real event and the universe is such a crazy place.
This is not CGI , it's actual images .
@@danielmconnolly7 This isn't CGI. Just because you can't comprehend doesn't mean it isn't reality. That's why refrain from putting embarrassing comments.
@@danielmconnolly7If it’s CGI, why would they use such grainy detail? 😂
Haven’t seen this in 2 years.. wow What’s the song for this vid called it’s nice so fitting for such an amazing zoom in
That is extremely cool considering that we finally have dim enough answers to find the whip forces and videotape them in action, would have been quite scary seeing stars going in and out of existence simply based off of the limitation of light speed
Em um momento o telescópio usado parece transformado em um microscópio onde passamos a observar algo vivo.
Realmente impressionante poder observar o centro de nossa galáxia de onde se origina todas as outras forças de formação da mesma.
Energias imensas devem existir por ali.

the universe is so beautiful (literally)
An there’s still more stars behind! How f big is the Universe?😭
Facts 😭😭😭
The truth is probably that space is so big eventually we will reach a point in time where the vastness of space is just to beyond comprehension meaning " All the smartest mathematicians in the world combined couldn't even come up with a number or even give an estimate to describe the vastness of space.
The real question should be "how much will space stretch" because evidence shows at one point it was infinitely small but just started stretching, and no, not expanding because that would assuming its expanding into something. That will probably never be confirmed because space stretches faster than the speed of light making it impossibly to reach an "edge" if there is one
@@PlacingRed It's either infinite, or finite. We don't know. You don't need to have a PhD just to understand the ideas.
This is just our galaxy...
Mesmerizing and humbling to see.
I think of two things when I see this. The view from a planet orbiting one of those stars would have an amazing view. Also, the time dilation has got to be crazy when they speed by A* at their fastest speed and then slow down at their farthest. Crazy.
This guy is what is keeping the milky way as a galaxy
That's one hell of a zoom in, it must have been amazing to discover that black hole.
I love this zoom in!
wow ... hopefully in a few hundred years, we have the tech to travel to these places. but looking at this video makes me feel i am there . its so peaceful
Remember back in 1999 or so when these pics were only a couple years old, unreal to see it happen just as she predicted
Simply subliminally awesome
That's crazy we can actually see that. The scale of how far away that is messes with your brain.
Cara, a velocidade que essas estrelas estão adquirindo é vertiginosa...
sim, mais impressionante ainda é ver a luz se distorcendo em volta do buraco negro
There is some sparks of light coming from sagittarius-A. And it’s amazing to me just how fast the stars are orbiting the black hole 🕳️ 💫. I wonder how planets… if any, fair in such a region.
Wow awesome job 🌙
Just Brilliant ❤..amazing deep space data👏
The insane speed of those stars!
I think it's something else. The star traveling right to left skips ahead in the same region where that orbiting star speeds up, but there is no path alteration. Then it all looks like stones in the bottom of a swimming pool, unless you just have to believe it, then yeah, it looks like what you want it to be.
That flickering light at the black hole is accretion disc ripping apart matter from the nearby orbiting star.
I don't even know what I just saw but it's amazing!
Don't forget that all the stars at the disk we see at the start of the video also orbits that supermassive black hole. That reach of gravity is mind-boggling.
If more people were involved in this then this would be a better world. This is outstanding. I have been interested in science and space since I took Astronomy 101 in college.
Can you explain how watching a black hole or the stars in general, makes this to be a better world? Doesn't make sense honestly. Science has and always will be a trial of violence.
@@coldgazpacho7936 Science has the potential to make violence more cruel, or even less cruel. But it's more beneficial to us than bad.
It still blows my mind that the light we're seeing in the centre of our galaxy is at least 100,000 years old.
Imagine living on a planet orbiting one of the stars that is closely orbiting the black hole. That would be terrifying.
Whoever selected this music track for this video is a f.. GENIUS
th-cam.com/video/HzJaZ9r1ums/w-d-xo.html :)
It makes me wonder….
…if there has, or is, a civilization that grew up very close to the black hole at the center of our galaxy (or any galaxy) and what that would have been like to their scientists? How close can a self aware civilization be to a black hole without feeling tremendous gravitational pulls that must affect evolution? Or will evolution find a way and there are civilizations alive on a planet circle stars such as S55?
Im surprised that thing hasn't been teared in pieces
Dude, the fact that its influence stretches across such an absurdly vast distance, that sucker is pretty damned heavy.
Thank - You .
Thanks, this deserves millions of views, much more than the fictional and nonsensical garbage of Marvel.
I just regret not being alive for what future generations will see about our universe. It’s like diggin into our creation.
Here is my question. At the 1:28 mark, how close are those stars from each other as they make their rotation. Question 2.. If the pull of the black hole is so strong, then why on its pass does the star not change orbit? Slingshot mindset is what I picture is they Come in super close and get flung away yet they don't get flung away, and they don't get sucked in. Why do the orbits not change?
I can only hope that they will discover an instrument that will be able to read/see gravity force in a visible manner, more obvious than how they detect it now by how it affects nearby objects... But in a vissible way like they do detects gamma and other "invisible to naked eye" waves... That will definitelly make any black hole visible.
Gamma rays are still light, thats why we can see them with instruments. Gravity is a force, not a wave, so i dont think it would work the way you think it does.
It hard to believe that black hole have all swirl control 🌀 of our Galaxy 🌌
I love these videos.
"They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever." ~Jude 1:13
Idk why the fact that we can see stars orbit around the sag a black hole didn't take over the internet
I can only imagine what the James Webb Space Telescope is going to capture these huge space-based telescopes are getting more and more complex and can see deeper into space man I thought Hubble was something when it launched but this telescope right here it's something else something special I could imagine living at the center of the Milky Way how chaotic the orbits of those stars are and not to mention the radiation there must be off the charts I mean hypothetically speaking just say if you could go there you would probably fry by the time you reach Sagittarius A star and if you just so happen to make it to Sagittarius a-star unharmed just know it won't last for long so the last thing you probably should do is as you're going into the Event Horizon turn around start doing the moonwalk so that way the people looking from the outside-in will see you as doing the moonwalk your last thing you did before you red shift into nothing and I've become one with the universe
Space can be bent using triple layer dust clouds. Somewhat like exhaust chambers. The first CG. The second direction. The third thrust.
It hurts trying to comprehend the amount of speed those massive bodies are traveling
That is just too cool!
Seeing Neptunes Orbit for scale is insane.
Neptune's orbit for scale is mind-boggling scale. Stars whirled arount multiple times the our solar system's distances in matter of days
I don’t really understand the placement of neptunes orbit in this scaling demonstration. Can you pls explain it if you don’t mind
Most of those stars are really huge, and being huge they live fast then die young, they probably didn't exist when the Earth formed.
So those dancing stars are constantly being replaced.
That is mind boggling
Watching that quickest star.. Imagine to see her going to the Moon in 12 seconds..turn around and back to Earth in 12 seconds..
Wow! Now THAT'S impressive
I wonder, what would it feel like if you were to stand on that close proximity star orbiting the black hole? The speed that star is moving has to be insane. Would it be like being caught in a tornado? Wind gusts and storms? Would you notice anything at all besides a perspective shift of the black hole?
5 more months till we get some beautiful james webb images of our galaxy and universe
Soooo, was the zoom-in authentic or was it a simulation? Enhanced somehow? I didn't know we could see that deeply into the center of the galaxy.
This is the distance that our grandfather had to cross to go to school.!
Imagine being a living being, born to one of the exo-planets of one of those stars orbiting the black hole
Great video !
So this is official music of black hole
That unseen star is moving the entire galaxy of more than 400 billion stars , scary
Deeper you look less you understand what it is you are looking at.
Miracle 1: The plains apes built a telescope that views the universe in infrared, then launched it all crunched up aboard a rocket ship that basically was too small to carry it but it unfolded perfectly and it works!
Miracle 2: The JWT is in orbit around the Earth in a LaGrange point and the Earth is in orbit around Sol, which in turn is meandering within a spiral arm that is orbiting around the Milky Way. The multi-orbits are not the miracle. The miracle is that the plains apes were able to accurately measure the orbital movements to such an extent that some mathematical genius among them was able to program the JWT's gyros such that the telescope's orbital movements were counteracted sufficiently to provide a nearly perfectly steady image of the stars orbiting Sag A* instead of just smears of light across the detectors. WHOA!
WTF 1: How long did JWT have to hold perfectly still with respect to Sag A*, in order to document the months(?) long orbits of Sag A*'s minions?
Ok...this is actual video peering into, travelling into, the Milky Way? Not an artist's interpretation or rendition? That telescope is unbelievable.
As an orbiting Rogue star, I endorse this video.
All simulations of orbits around Sagittarius A (including this one) that I have seen appear to show the orbits of the nearby stars in a plane apparently/approximately perpendicular to our point of view. However, in the center of our galaxy wouldn't it be more likely that orbits around such a massive object would be at almost any angle (the way an electron cloud encompasses the hydrogen nucleus) with our viewpoint being just matter of biased perspective?
woah, interesting, didn't think of this...
would love an explanation on this by someone more knowledgeable
Me encantó que hayan puesto como referencia la órbita de Neptuno al lado...
O sea, es increíble. Fuera de nuestra imaginación...
Da miedo
That light took nearly 27 thousand years to get here, so this happened long ago, I wonder how many of these stars are still orbiting today.
The average lifespan of those massive stars is 10-20 million years and you are only seeing it 27000 light years away. So, they are all there. The life cycle of a star is too huge when compared to 27k light years.
Just look at the crazy curve that star S29 got just bcz it passed nearby the black hole,it didn't get completely sucked in bcz of it's crazy speed,the pull from the black hole is scary..
The sound in this video sounds like the real sound of space!
it exciting,
What equipment was used to record this
Very expensive one
"Shot with an iPhone X"
1:00 asking myself why i am crying
Wonder how life will be like on planets of these stars so close to the black hole
Its bright af
Just remember, guys. What we see now is what happened in a past long ago.
I was like "ok, so what?" but then I saw the comparison of Neptune's orbit and whooooaaaaa 🤯
Amazing 👏
Amazing Video 😌
Question: how is it one can see the rotations of stars whose periods are months or more? Given the inevitable preciousness of viewing time on the Very Large Telescope it is not possible to have continuously watched that one section of the sky for the required time. So, the movement as depicted must have been obtained from a simulation based on calculated orbits, right? Like a lot of stuff in astrophysics today the line between simulated reality and real reality is blurry, I think.
You're right on!!! Anyone who believes everything that "science" gives us is very naive. Most of this information is from over zealous scientists with an agenda. They are theories; and a theory NEVER creates a fact; it reaches its fruition when it explains a fact which already exists.
@@ThePaleBlueDot-m3e I looked it up and the optical resolution of the upcoming James Webb Telescope is about 0.1 arcsec (it depends on the wavelength). At that resolution the telescope won't be able to distinguish objects at the center of the galaxy that are less than about 30 billion miles apart. That's about 10 times the distance from Neptune to the sun. The Very Large Telescope, with a claimed angular resolution of 0.002 arcsec would probably be about to resolve objects 50 times closer together or about the size of the orbit of Jupiter.
@@douglasskinner . . . and, based on your findings, this video presented is not likely to be legitimate.
Easy to answer. They didnt observed IT in one straight shot. They made pictures days and weeks appart. But the stars around Sagittarius take at least 12 years for an orbit so this is enough.
@@ThePaleBlueDot-m3e learn First what a theorie is my foolish boy. Theories are concepts including observations and mathematical calculations. And if IT works IT turnes from a hypophesis to he theorie. Like gravity and the theorie of reletivity IT is proven countless of times and until you can disproof it it is true.
I read that one of the stars is going 6% of light speed. that's 40,236,997 mph
How cool is that!?
beautifully presented in 720p
This is a telescope image, not a cartoon porn fox like you're used to staring at
Let me see if i get this right.
They zoomed it to the centre of milky way galaxy, which is almost blocked by millions of stars and other galactic objects and tracked the motion of a single star among millions,around an area, which they tell is a blackhole.
It's almost like these people never entered a crowded area and searched for their companion some 10 feet away.
I can't believe we can resolve this much without Webb. Clearly, ground based astronomy has a place.
Truly incredible to see those stars being governed by an invisible object that is most likely our galaxy's supermassive black hole.
I always thought black holes would be extremely luminous. I guess it depends if the black hole is currently "eating" a neighbor?
@@cupofsadge8359they're very bright if you get very close, but they're also usually pretty small
