Thanks Anton, watching Anton is scientifically proven to improve your day ( even if it's not been great ) and it definitely improves your mind. Have a great weekend everyone. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
These videos are amazing! The images are almost unbelievable! In the eary 80's, I was a sailor on a containership, working as the reefer engineer. Some nights, out in the Pacific Ocean, far away from artificial light, I was amazed, that even on moonless nights, the stars alone lit up the 'night'!
I was on I-80 coming east through the Nevada desert about 1 a.m. and, even though I was really tired and just wanted to hit the next town for a hotel, I HAD to stop and admire the starry sky. What an absolutely breathtaking sight. I wish everyone could witness the majesty that I beheld that night.
@Tessmage_Tessera yeah, that trip, I watched tuna boats in Guam, load their chilled (not frozen) tuna into 40' reefers, that were promptly loaded on my ship, set to -10°f ! That's what kept me up at night! I didn't lose any container! It was my first "reefer" job. I thought I wasn't doing something right. I didn't put in overtime for it all, because I didn't understand that (container) reefers weren't designed to freeze stuff, just to maintain the temperature! At the end of the trip, the 1st and I went out drinking. He told me that, the trip we had made, was the first trip that had not lost one container of reefer cargo, and that when he and the Chief were going over the overtime records, that the Chief said that he couldn't figure out what I was up to, as I had the lowest overtime, yet didn't lose any cargo! My bad! I could have made a shit ton of money, and they would have still been happy!
@@brucelytle1144 In 1988 I went camping in Zavalla, Texas, I think the population was like 700 people. It was in Davy Crockett National Park miles from nowhere. We were literally 100's of miles from the nearest city. The first night I kept seeing what I thought was a slightly purple tinted cloud in the middle of the sky. The next night it was still there and then the next and the next. Finally I figured out that was no cloud but the Milky Way! Something this city kid had never seen before and still hasn't since.
So you said the stars in the cluster were one tenth of a light year apart from each other. Now that sounds close considering some of the huge distances we talk about but it would still take us 7,000 years to go one tenth of a light year. Just wow
I was attempting to do the math of the "star density" of this cluster, and it's insane. (My math may be wrong). 10 million stars within a radius of 75 LY gave me ~5.6 stars per cubic-LY average. Our nearest star is ~4LY away. A radius of 4LY becomes ~268 cubic-LY in volume. In terms of the night sky, there would be something like ~1500 stars within the radius of our just 1 nearest star.
I've done similar calculations several times, and always got between 3-6 stars per ly³. You do have to recognize that the distribution isn't uniform, though. The very center will be much more densely populated than the peripheral.
This may have even more interesting implications. What is all galaxies started as globular clusters? What if every globular cluster has a central black hole? We are really in the golden time of cosmological/astrophysical research.
I do like the idea of that, and I see that galaxies growing that way. My main question about this is, would this processes alone be too slow to create supermassive galaxies?
@@stoborking Maybe not... The early universe was "smaller" and thus gravity would be strong as everything else would be relatively closer. However, that also means the chaotic interactions can fling a cluster far further away after it builds enough velocity. That still doesn't explain why the clusters don't grow the same way other galaxies do or why the core stops eating. I do wonder if there is any correlation in dark matter between Globular Clusters and full size Galaxies. It's a superb time to be alive for cosmology. (Edited for proper terminology and clarity, Thanks Napoleonic_s. O7)
@@LordofSyn That's true everything was closer together. I can't wait to hear further updates on this. And What an exciting time for cosmology indeed. I find myself looking forwards to new videos.
@@LordofSyn Dark energy? Did you mean dark matter? About dark matter, I guess maybe there are way more rogue objects in the universe, rogue planets, rogue black holes, rogue asteroids that wander around not just between interstellar space but also between intergalactic space.
@@Napoleonic_S Yes, thank you for catching that. I absolutely did mean Dark Matter. We can infer a rough amount of dark matter in larger galaxies so I am curious as to what we can infer from globular clusters.
Unfortunately, the EHT is probably not able to image this object, as the resolution is too low. While much closer to earth, the object is also much smaller. The black hole diameter, as observed from earth, is only about 4 microarcseconds, and the resolution of the EHT is around 25 microarcseconds (the diameter of the M87 black hole is about 100 microarcseconds).
Maybe large spiral galaxies have supermassive black holes at their core and dwarf galaxies have intermediate black holes in their cores. Have we studied dwarf galaxies enough to know?
It actually doesn't surprise me that intermediate black holes are difficult to detect. I imagine they are fairly quiet so don't produce many emissions, or perhaps next to none at all, they likely only interact with a few stellar objects very close to them so observing this is also very difficult and perhaps they are just pretty rare currently in the universe and our galaxy proportionally speaking. Perhaps only a few very very old stellar black holes have had enough time and been in just the right places and circumstances to reach intermediate sizes.
i hope to see you before they took a picture of that region. It is my understanding that Event Horizon takes years to coordinate and months of data collection before a team can combine the data.
Anton i hope with all my heart you are the amazing, kinda dorky but absolutely endlessly charming guy away from TH-cam that you are on it. Your parents did something very right.
Cool! Does this say anything about the direct collapse hypothesis then? Like, now that we're pretty sure intermediate-mass BHs do exist, maybe the heavy seeds are out of the question?
What an intriguing investigation. When the origin of clusters and galaxies is becoming clearer, one wonders how many spin offs will emerge from this work in terms of cluster dynamics and evolution.
Out of curiosity... if protostars in the process of forming solar systems tend to flatten out over time... and galaxies themselves tend to flatten out over time (excluding ancient galaxies that have morphed into elliptical shapes due to many galaxy collisions)... why don't we see any globular clusters flattening out over time?
I don’t know but that is the best question i have read this week. I would say that the objects that flatten out are rotating whereas globular clusters don’t..
The more a few developments in telescopes changes our view, the more silly it feels how much cosmologists trusted the old telescopes to offer anything close to a complete story
If I recall correctly, Ian Douglas used this star cluster and Captain's Star in his Star Carrier series. Not necessarily in the way presented, but one possibly relevant bit being that a stellar discovery within the globular cluster had been 'missed' by observers at the time from earth, until it was pointed out to them where to look. I think it was used more as a demonstration of the fact that with the number of stars in the globular cluster, it is difficult to 'find' things that are out of the ordinary, simply because there is so much data to pour through. Here's hoping that the Event Horizon Telescope is able to observe something affecting light in a measurable method. I'm inclined to expect that the black hole has the available stellar dust to go active, unless it's feeding off the ambient dust in the Milky Way. If I recall the recent videos correctly, globular clusters like this are likely to have been around since shortly after the universe cooled enough for such stellar arrangements to have started forming, and as a result has had 13 billion or so years to settle all it's dust into stars, planets, or any related black holes.
There's nothing strange about that. Black holes and galaxies don't collide that often. SMB were made at the start of our universe in completely different circumstances. And then there are more recent slow growing holes.
If shows up two more times later on, albeit one is a repeat of the same clip, so not sure that one counts. 😊 _edit: 3! I think the third one is a recycled clip that featured the _*_first one_*_ I had seen a few minutes ago lol_
Since BH are a form of MAGNETARS, it would make sense that they would decay as MAGNETARS do. What form does the decay take? A subatomic form of magnetism, shed from the parent body, too small to detect. Until encountering compressed gas which causes the immediate expansive explosion?
Thank you so much for this insightful video. Not only does the findings seem to back up the stance that globular clusters are ancient galaxies that didn't have enough early interactions to allow their Black Hole cores to grow. Is there a way to infer or glean more information regarding dark matter from this? How have these clusters been able to find a harmony where the stars around the core haven't broken orbit and fallen toward the core, especially in Billions of human years? These stellar dances are amazing to consider but I think and wonder about what being on a planet around one of these stars screaming around the black hole. What if there was a clock and calendar there? How much would time dilation effect them over the span of 1 solar orbit about the BH core?
I keep thinking that clusters are orbiting Galaxy's that got blasted by our Galaxy's Feeding Black hole and Lost all it's gas and Mass due to being Blasted by the Energy off the Poles of the Black hole. Could not that Happen back in the past? We are still curious about the Gas Halo that we have seen. could it be Related?
Anton, I'm a regular viewer of your informative videos! Errr..., I don't mean to alarm you but I'm observing a micro black hole developing on your right shoulder! Is there a risk of you being spaghettified? If so do you intend to capture the event on video?
Black holes aren’t what keep structures together we’ve found galaxies without supermassive black holes at the center. It’s dark matter that keeps structures together. Surprised you don’t know that.
Why the theory always is that blackholes become bigger, in that case maybe the blackhole actually became smaller. Everything around out starts out small and becomes bigger, and eventually it becomes smaller, or it doesnt become bigger and fades out of existence. The same with a planet, with for example gravity/atmosphere it attracts and keeps debris and slowly becomes bigger, without atmosphere it actually can get stripped by solar winds depending on the strength of gravity and the strength of solwar winds, collisions add but very big collisions may subtract. Energy can always go up and down. So could it be that it used to be a big black hole but actually became smaller?
I wonder in time do these black holes with a cluster of stars eventually consume said stars growing as a result using lunch time as a fuel to propel it self throughout the cosmos??? 🤔
10M stars with the total mass being about 4M solar masses? Certainly possible, but that gives an “average” mass of ~0.4 solar mass, implying lots of red dwarf stars and few/no high mass stars. The 8200 solar mass black hole having essentially no impact on those numbers. While plausible, sounds unlikely.
I just heard a theory that dark matter could be tacions. I see at light speed speed becomes relative if something moving at the speed of time against the flow of time it would as fare back in time as time is moving forward. Apparently light moving against the rotation of galaxy most be experiencing some friction
We're having trouble finding something that by its very nature is basically invisible?? (surprised Pikachu face) But on a serious note, I wonder if it's a case of once we see enough of them, and start to notice peculiarities about them that makes them easier to find, if we'll then start noticing them elsewhere?
I have nothing to support my statement, but I get more and more to thinking that the weight or matter that everyone says is "dark matter" or whatever will be "discovered" has/are Blackholes! The calculations on how many Blackholes it is believed to exist is dramatically off...
Well. That’s not actually an intermediate mass BH. It’s rather a baby super massive BH. Because a way they created is a same (a center of a big mass region). IM BH are rather a result of unique event. Imho. But scientists needed some news.
it looks like its exploding , i wonder what a catastrophic failure of a black hole would look like...as if the singularity was compressed to the point of exploding?
Globular clusters have always been far more intriguing to me than black holes. Black holes make sense. Globular clusters seem to defy the laws of gravity. Especially a 12 bn year old one.
Except for the Triangulum galaxy, our other neighbor than Andromeda, whose central black hole is missing (probably ejected from a galaxy near miss). Where there would be a central black hole, there are two black holes around 1000 solar masses. Eventually, The Milky Way, Andromeda, and Triangulum will all merge. Why not "investigate" these long known INTERMEDIATE MASS black holes?
I like how you show the stars whizzing by the camera as you plunge deeper into space in order to be able to actually do that you would have to be traveling ungodly amounts of fast
I cannot believe "we're gonna try to take a photo of the black hole, wait a few years please" is a realistic statement. So cool that we can actually do this. What a time to be alive...
Astrophysicists look at observations of the space around a suspected BH. Then look for effects that would indicate a BH exists.

Black holes can't explode. They're as compressed as they can get.

Same thing that stops the galaxy collapsing.
Maybe theyre not holes. Maybe theyre just atoms that lost their outer "fuzz" of electrons.
