2:54 So cool! I'm an atheist, but I would think it can't help but feel a little godlike, moving the most massive stars around like marbles...and then watching those marbles interact on the curved surface of spacetime. Just WOW.
You explained wolf rayet stars very clearly, in fact I can say you explained it better than my astronomer dad who first described them to me and his description wasn't that easy to understand for people not in the field. Very nice job man! 👍
I have recently started watching your videos and they are actually really good! I like watching Universe Sandbox and Space Engine when people know what they're talking about and on a regular basis. I'm surprised you don't have even more subscribers, your videos are really good quality!
can you do videos where you just explore space engine, like get lost in different galaxies and find different kind of stars and planets and other celestial bodies? And ofcourse while you explain stuff too
One of the most likely and darkest ways they are formed is by looking at clues from their companion star(or even stars). The most likely formation is when a supergiant has lost its own outer layers by a vampire star or a black hole. Wolf rayet stars have more in relation with white dwarfs than other supergiant stars(mainly due to their composition and the lack of hydrogen envelope). The system often starts with a red dwarf star(red dwarf can outlive their companion stars and in the process even start becoming more likely as a culprit)orbiting around a blue giant star, but as the blue giant star swells up into a supergiant star. The red dwarf stars gravitational forces will then steal the outer layers of that supergiant star and over time the red dwarf star will eventually become a blue straggler giant star, and then what’s left of that supergiant star is the giant core that is now called a wolf Rayet star(or a massive white dwarf if it less massive).
If my sources are correct, and my calculations aren't wildly off, then the number of neutrons in the observable universe is approximately (by that I mean give or take a few digits) 1.194x10^94. I did this by calculating the number of neutrons in the solar system, multiplying that by 2 trillion (number of solar masses in Galaxy) then taking that and multiplying that by the estimated number of galaxies in the universe: 150 billion.
+Ryan Lowry if you think about it, Canon's number is literally infinity, because it is e largest number with an actual, physical meaning. It is the largest number humans need to calculate.
Why do most large stars instantly go supernova as soon as you turn on the "Realistic" switch? Is it based on age? I tried making them younger and turning on the realistic switch had the same effect.
The computer program that is being used here is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Absolutely amazing! If I had access to that, if I didn't break it (🤦) I would be sitting in front of it until I was pulled away by men in white coats!! Lol!! I am learning about the cosmos pretty late in life and I SUPER appreciate you explaining these things in a way that even I can understand!! (Kind of!)
I notice that you are improving your speaking style. In this video you have more pep. More inflection. Not putting me to sleep, so I can learn something. Keep up the good work!
+Redz Ch I'm not sure about this one but when using the scroll wheel it changes the velocity and the you can use the wasd to move around I'm not sure if this is what your asking though
Noteight Noteight light has a speed and light is darn slow. In scale of space. Light goes 270 000 km a second i think. Light takes 8 minutes to go from sun to earth.
Some guy from F I N L A N D 299,792.458 km/sec, exactly. In a vacuum. In the often very dense, very opaque inner parts of a star it can progress MUCH more slowly.
The rarest type of binary pair is not a binary of wolf Rayet stars? But rather a binary system involving a wolf rayet star and a dead white dwarf star!? The reason I consider this star system model the rarest is mainly because of age and how long it takes to make a white dwarf star?!
+pokegen2000 no I mean like if was a scale model of it self but real....meaning say I had reality warping a and I did like father from Full metal alchemists...but instead I used a Wolf star instead of a regular sun like he did.....how close could one stand next to it.....if that makes sense....
Well, if you did somehow manage to shrink a star to that size without it collapsing in on itself, I think it would be a very faint brown star, a star not big enough to create nuclear fusion meaning it has a very low temperature so in theory you could touch it
From what I'm taking away from this, Wolf-Rayet stars sound like they are almost like aggregate stars; like a cluster of stars packed in really close together, if different cells of the photosphere are producing different elements. My interpretation is that the star diffused into several stars, still bound together like a cluster of bubbles still adhered to each other, just as the main star is about to go supernova. I almost interpreted the whole spewing of gas out as the star "farting" itself to extinction. My question is, do these stars release these bursts of gas in series, or is it all lost in one incident?
Why do they become WR? You spent 90% of the video rambling about how massive and bright they generally are and you forgot to tell us what happens to those stars that causes them to become WR's. What exactly does distinguish those from main sequence?

What an interesting video for my birthday! I love your content Anton.
Interesting. Wolf-Rayet stars are my new favourite thing :p
The name alone...
can you do videos where you just explore space engine, like get lost in different galaxies and find different kind of stars and planets and other celestial bodies? And ofcourse while you explain stuff too
That would be so enjoyable to watch! :)
OMG yes
One time I found a purple frozen desert with rings and life. I named it Purplia.
SilverDax desert of what? Seems amazing
I've never wondered that. Maybe the life?

Nice! I did something similar with atoms, I got ~10^83
+Ryan Lowry if you think about it, Canon's number is literally infinity, because it is e largest number with an actual, physical meaning. It is the largest number humans need to calculate.
+Ryan Lowry I think that we have the same profile picture. Mine is terraformed mars.
+amazing visser3 yeah mine is too, crazy to run into someone with a similar/same profile picture!
There is between 100-400 billion stars in the galaxy not 2 trillion.
Why do most large stars instantly go supernova as soon as you turn on the "Realistic" switch? Is it based on age? I tried making them younger and turning on the realistic switch had the same effect.
So massive that they begin to self destruct without really having existed as main sequence stars?

No he didn't
This was an old video, his speaking sound nowadays heard like he was about freezing to death
...but black holes do not suck matter in, rather matter assumes an orbit," you said previously. Ok, what is it. Love your material.
I really like you're channel, keep it up guy C:
Nice as always!
Anton, check out W.R.104.
Ne which I think you mistook as N for Nitrogen - I guess it is too late to correct. Otherwise very nice illustrations of the processes. - Thanks
What da' meth?. Buzzin twice the speed of light. Let's all go supernova!
2:60 that made me lol
Awesome! Enuff said. Didn't understand any of this.
And WR104?
Cool videos Anton.
This star is the brightest star and the most massive star in the universe .
no he already made a vid about that
it is UY Scuti
+InSkilled Phoenix - Uy scuti is biggest in size but this star is most massive and brightest.
observable universe
***** It's also thought to be the largest in the observable unvierse
do they still have the realistic switch anymore? i can't seem to find it. did they remove it in the newer versions?
Aren't most Wolf-Rayet stars actually progenitors of Type Ib/Ic supernovae due to Hydrogen and/or Helium depletion?
2:18 There is one imposter among us
*stats debate over whether the magellanic clouds are galaxies or not*
im trying to space engine working on my laptop with good specs but doesn’t start
run it as an administrator, I had the same problem this fixed it for me
now i have the cursor problem i cant zoom out or zoom in
+Redz Ch I'm not sure about this one but when using the scroll wheel it changes the velocity and the you can use the wasd to move around I'm not sure if this is what your asking though
Did you dim your screen or something? Bc my eyes are not hurting so badly as some of your other sun videos.
Will you do a video about supernova tipes please?
Maurizio Pavel he already did it ;)
The one I found in elite dangerous on the top of the galaxy was like a bug lite , I flew into it and got zapped
can you explain why its -48.15c on the star WISE 0855−0714 i dont get how it can freeze on a star
it takes a long time for the energy from the core of a star to reach the surface, and light moves at a finite speed.
Noteight Noteight light has a speed and light is darn slow. In scale of space. Light goes 270 000 km a second i think. Light takes 8 minutes to go from sun to earth.
Some guy from F I N L A N D 299,792.458 km/sec, exactly. In a vacuum. In the often very dense, very opaque inner parts of a star it can progress MUCH more slowly.
since that star is so big could it be enough for life when the star supernova and the materials are everywhere
*By now you've realized that the element represented by "Ne" is* _NOT_ *Nitrogen, but rather* _IS_ *NEON, correct?* (Hoping ...?)
They sure look pretty.
Why are they so bright?
Can someone just sum up what wolf rayet stars are cuz I didn't understand a thing from this video
Dude, could you re-create the planets from Interstellar?
+amazing visser3 there's already a space engine mod on the website for a interstellar system
Paranoia . my friend i think the other friend mean the movie-film with the name : interstellar ;).
Star Farts (5:10)
Isn't Eta Carinae a Wolf Rayet?
Maybe it was in the distant past. Now it's a S Doradus Variable, which is like a more degenerated Wolf-Rayet.
How about those Wolf stars? They're a Rayet.
The rarest type of binary pair is not a binary of wolf Rayet stars?
But rather a binary system involving a wolf rayet star and a dead white dwarf star!?
The reason I consider this star system model the rarest is mainly because of age and how long it takes to make a white dwarf star?!
Tristan
N or Ne? I think it’s typo and you mean N
Can you tell me what an iron vapor fart smells like?
Unfortunately I'm hearing impaired, and even after 5 years, there is no subtitles to watch this.
I wonder if a Wolf Rayet star was shrink to the size of a basket ball could one stand in the same room with it...
No, if I remember correctly it would reach its Planck length becoming a black hole
+pokegen2000 no I mean like if was a scale model of it self but real....meaning say I had reality warping a and I did like father from Full metal alchemists...but instead I used a Wolf star instead of a regular sun like he did.....how close could one stand next to it.....if that makes sense....

+pokegen2000 okay on the right track...but the star keeps its fusion and color...let me see if I can find a link for example
JCSMOOTH345
If the radiation didn't kill you, the temperature of the star igniting the atmosphere certainly would.
Wait so WR stars fuse all those elements at the same time?
No
100th view!!!!! thanks a lot
thatsthe biges star r136a1
No, R136A1 is the HEAVIEST star
UY Scuti is the biggest
What about vy canis majoris? Isn't that the biggest star known to man? Or are you just talking about Wolf-Rayet stars?
+56justincase That's what I was thinking
+56justincase uy skuti is bigger
+RevaiL MinZey Huh. You're right.
+56justincase bigger in size. this star is the most massive
+Spyalectical Crabolism But I'm talking about radius.

Why do you sound completely different in this than you do in your newer videos? Your accent seems much heavier or something in the newer ones. Weird.
lmfao 53,000 KELVIN
5th view!!!Keep up the great vids
Why do they become WR? You spent 90% of the video rambling about how massive and bright they generally are and you forgot to tell us what happens to those stars that causes them to become WR's. What exactly does distinguish those from main sequence?
The tiny star is having a seizure
1 view!!!!
no it isn't VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star ever discovered so far
By radius it is uy scuti ( before that vy canis majoris) but by mass it is this star
Radius and mass isn't the same thing ;)
No
Our GOD IS GREAT SEE WHAT HE CREATED WITH WORDS......thank you JESUS
wolf rayet is not the largest for god sake uy scuti is
but its way more massive than UY Scuti
my comment is related to the size buddy i know it has more mass
waleed khan but he didn't say its bigger, so there isn't any point of you talking about it.
ah for god sake watch the vid again
waleed khan cba, but i don't think he talked about the size of it
lool
Simulations upon simulations None of this has been observed !
We can see plenty of Wolf-Rayet stars. They're classified by their spectral lines, which are very easy to measure.
