UY Scuti - Former Largest Star Ever Discovered [OOTW]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- When considering star size, we are incredibly restricted with what we can't measure - the vast majority of the universe's stars lie outside of our galaxy, and are too far away to ever be measured. In spite of this, we have discovered some truly magnificent stars in our own backyard. Today, we will be looking at the biggest - UY Scuti. This magnificent titan of the cosmos is a staggering 2.3BN KM in diameter, and that is the least incredible of some of the numbers associated with it. Today, we will be analysing this star, and some of its close competition in the race for the largest star ever discovered.

When I think about astronomy it makes me sad to know that our life expectancy is so brief

7 hours for light to circle one time. That's incredible.

It's always the ex not the current shows how bitter we are to lose that ex once we proclaimed our love for.
There is nothing more humbling than the universe. It’s so complex that one’s mind can’t even comprehend the scale of it all.
Perfect for governments to make fool out of people too.
On a cosmological scale, the observable universe is spec of dust to what can truly exist out there.The cosmos is definitely infinite.
And knowing that we will never be able to explore at least 99.9% of it other than watch what it was like billions of years ago, even our closest galaxy Andromida is out of our reach! The light we see today from that galaxy left over 2 million years ago, 6 trillion miles a year light travels, 186 thousand miles a second, we a a species are a long way from the tech&science needed to travel at those speeds with even a small amount of mass, sending a message is all we can do at the speed of light, we are not even at 1% the speed of light in terms of rockets or space ships, voyger 1 that launched in the 70's is currently traveling at a speed 40 thousand miles an hour and that would take a couple of billion years to reach the Andromida galaxy! Like i said its safe to say that we will only ever be able to explore our own galaxy, the other 99.9% of the universe is untouchable
Yeah I actually enjoy thinking about it. Kinda helps put everyday mundane problems in perspective.

@J D Not scary, depressing. Depressing that our Earth's wealthiest want everyone else to still use crude, primitive resources for their gain.
Update: The star named "Stephenson 2-18" has taken the throne.
How big that star is?
@@thientuongnguyen5002 UY Scuti= 1708 x Sun Radius ( 1.118 billion km)
Stephenson 2-18 = 2150 x Sun Radius (1.495 billion km)
Not only did UY lose the throne, it got downgraded as the original estimate of its size was overstated in the first place, lol.
@@burakkaratekeli9115 oh my god I thought uy scuti was biggest we could find.

MISTA PRIME MINISTAH!
The fact that our sun is larger than most stars in our Galaxy yet is still miniscule compared to the largest just shows how large some of these stars really are
Looking at the sunset right now. I really appreciate what our boring modest little 🌞 Sun is all about. It may not be a beast but it makes dope beats.
The zone of avoidance sounds like a name for the kitchen and living room when you don't like your roomates.

I LOVE that you devote one whole video to a single star. I wish there were more
There's lots of stars.
@@freakystyley4000 Wait, WHAT? I thought there were just two. The sun and... the other one.
I'm excited to have just found this channel. Top notch narration.
Binge time!
It took Cassini seven years to reach Saturn and that is the radius of UY SCUTI ! WTF
half the radius
Six sevenths, remember we are already 1AU from the Sun
@@tolazsaman8617 mmm nope
@Aziri half the diameter is the radius. The surface of UY Scuti almost reaches the orbit of saturn, so by saying it is jalf the radius your saying it reaches out to more than the orbit of Neptune. Any other argument?
@Aziri bruh so your telling me uy scuti's surface reaches beyond saturns orbit??
This star could’ve already gone super nova and we won’t know about for 5,000 years
what will really cook your noodle is ...causality...even if it did, for us has it really even happened?
Unless it went super 4999 + years ago!
If you could instantly travel to this star and look back at Earth through a silly big telescope you would see the Pyramids being built or Stonehenge or Oertzi the iceman being murdered!

@@Bushcraft-xz6xdif one is able to do that, he is breaking the barrier of speed, hence warping time. So one does not need to go there for it, he can watch it right here on earth as it happens
I genuinely wanted to say a deep thank you for your videos. The presentation of your videos are really engaging and easy to watch. I find them actually soothing, relaxing and super interesting. I too am a casual learner of cosmology and your videos help and inspire me. Finally, and perhaps most importantly for me, watching your videos helps my mental state, and puts everything in my life into perspective. So thank you for enlightening us with the wonders of the cosmos!
Yamin Rashid I second this so much!
Things like this make my greatest hobby so much more rewarding 💙
And you're the kind of person who stimulates the channel to make it a lot more welcoming!
street shitter bittch
UY Scuti: I'm the biggest giant star.
Stephenson: Hold my Hydrogen Fusion Latte
That's what I was thinking. 😂
Such an underrated Comment
UY Scuti : "I gained a little bit of weight"
Sun : "you don't say"
"You've really let yourself go!"
Switch these sentences.
I can definitely see this is now your most popular series on the channel. Keep going with it SEA; I'm loving it so far.
It could have had it's 'goldylox(sp?)' become closer to the star even though the star is bigger, since the temperature gab from blue to yellow stars is far greater than it's size comparison with blue giants.
This is how you narrate this kind of video. Thank you for another informative and ultimately truly watchable post.
If not for the scientists, man would have no memory of these cosmic wonders. UY Scuti and others like her would have lived and died, unknown, far, far out and all alone in the vastness of space. Thank you for this post.
WOW😳just WOW.
Universe is so amazing and so beautiful.
Be nice if we could see real pictures instead of photo shoppe pictures.
We r not even a little atom lol
Damn when is UY SCUTI finna drop some mixtapes? Heard he literal fire
I get your comment, but it is not literal fire.
Lol his name sounds like a mumble rapper
Jay Wizzle its that gas
@@Pauly421 hmm, maybe its because people don't want to be uptight asshats their whole lives.
But that's just my guess.
Shellshocked Bros I think it’s a joke considering he said “You is retarded” however, this could just be him making an ass out of himself trying to bring someone down.
Wonderful video mate! You're a great narrator and I appreciate you making the videos not too scientific jargony but not too simplified, they're perfectly balanced in that regard :)
...I imagine by the time Andromeda is looming large in the night sky, our descendants could well be observing that collision from another galaxy in the local group. It's mind boggling to think that at that time, one could watch a video sequence of Andromeda drifting across intergalactic space and merging with the Milky way, from data collected over millions of years of real observations, compressed and ran as a sequence that lasted like only a couple of minutes ! what a privilege that would be !
Any of our descendants will probably be long gone but you never know
Thanks and kudos to all involved in this presentation. Visually stunning and intellectually stirring!
We are certainly insignificant in the grand scheme and scale of existence - even within our own neighbourhood. I find that both comforting and humbling.
This is perfect to cut your toenails to.

This channel produces some of the best content on youtube. I love it!
Well narrated, very relaxing and informative. Earned a sub.keep em coming
Great presentation my dude. I enjoyed learning more about this star. Thank you.
Your channel is boss mate. Your narrative structure and explanation of things are unlike a lot of channels and you’re doing a great job👍🏼
Those graphic effects are some of the best I've seen on TH-cam. You did a great job.
UY Scuti: I'm the biggest star...
Stephenson 2-18: hold my beer...
First class . I'm really enjoying your channel. Your sincerity and passion for all things cosmological really comes across. And at the risk of repeating myself, the numbers or scales are truly staggering,.
Watched this last week. Bought Space Engine 3 days ago. Found this star in the game. Good job using it so well and professionally.
Awesome content man! Perfectly explained info about everything, and great graphics! Love this channel!
One of the greatest universe related video I’ve seen lately. A lot of mind opening information, thank you very much for sharing.
Wow. I must be leading a charmed life. This video was at the top of the list and not some inane advert like usual. Excellent cosmic content and delivery!
Hi, I just discovered your channel today while looking up videos of red giant stars. And I'm hooked. Not only is your production quality top notch, but your narration is just so pleasant and appealing to listen to. If I didn't know better, I would think this was a Discovery Channel documentary. I've long been a casual "fan" of cosmology, always staying up for hours after bedtime when I was a kid reading books about everything from black holes to astrophysics. TH-cam has only continued to feed my fascination for the wonders and mysteries of the Universe some 25 years later. And I'm definitely proud to be your newest fan and follower. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Love this damn channel! Time to hit the bong 10 times!
Damn dude sounds like you go at it too hard lol
We’re talking about UY Scuti, the biggest star ever discovered, there’s no such thing as too much here 👀

So keen for the James Webb Space Telescope to launch. I've got a feeling what we know about the universe so far will be nothing compared to what that thing will see and teach us.
I agree. But after sooo many delays, let's hope the launch succeeds.

One year later and it has UV Scuti has been dethroned, due to new measurements of it possibly being closer to us than originally thought. Now I think Stephenson 2-18 is considered larger.
yea
I'm kind of disappointed that your channel isn't growing that much
Aka_ Viper same
I never mind making videos because it’s what I love doing so the numbers don’t really demoralise me, but everything comes in waves! In January I was having the worst slump in my channel’s history and I uploaded the cosmic horizon video and within a week it was the best growth I’ve ever had. It may be dormant now but I’ve not been uploading much, but now I am it’s only a matter of time til we’re back and the channel is booming again :D
Give it more time. I bet he'll pass 200-250k easily by December (if he keeps releasing content at least once ever 5 days)

Great Channel, Keep up the good work mate!
Great vid fella, the comparisons along with the constant info, you do with our local solar system, I'n my opinion works really well. This is something quite often missed in other vids. I love the concept of space, but as newbie find some vids over complicated to grasps the magnitude, or comparisons. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! If you like them, please check out my recent videos. I made this one a little while ago and I think I rush the narration much less in newer ones so I hope you’ll like them better 🙂
I'd like to see a video on R136a1, the most massive star currently known
There are some on YT. Trouble is many people confuse "largest" with "most massive".
Owain Shebbeare Those basically mean the same thing
Bet My Name Spooked You no, they don’t.
"Mass" refers to weight. "Biggest" refers to physical size regardless of mass.
Bet My Name Spooked You no they don’t.
That star is basically red-hot thin air. Think about that mass to size ratio!
Size: 2 billion suns can fit inside
Mass: ONLY 8 SUNS, man is basically red hot mars atmosphere ( is not even enought to go supernova)
So if you want to tell someone they are full of hot air, just call them a UY Scuti. That's sure to lead to some confused looks. They won't even know it's an insult!

Mr wonderful Fallout 3 was meh, and Fallout 4 isn’t even a lite RPG. Fallout NV is the true 3, it continued the story from Fallout 1 and 2, and it’s actually a true RPG unlike 3, 4, or 76.
@Brian Warner Sounds like a troll.
And for my lifetime I thought Canis Majoris was the largest...
Neither are the largest, these are just stars discovered that we can measure. It's almost certain there are far larger stars.
It is the largest!
@是邪恶的习近平Yes I agree. Although nobody knows how many Galaxies there are, or perhaps even Universes.
@是邪恶的习近平 Science is still young on Earth, how long have we really used it, a few hundred years at most ? ...I'm sure a better science will appear, if the human race survives awhile, just imagine the possibilities.
@是邪恶的习近平 Allot of people are saying at the moment, that the future is away from Earth, it's time to leave. The natural resources are running out, unfortunately we are destroying it.
To think what’s out there in this massive arena makes life exciting and worth fighting to live.
I used to know a physics teacher we nicknamed Vagis Majoris. She would explode into a supernova whenever lecture started.
Well presented with good English and no um’s or er’s. Very refreshing.

Don't know if you take requests or not but some good follow ups would be on the Methuselah Star, whose age uncertainty has a chance of being older than what we know the universe to be.
Przybylski's Star is another fun one, seems to have way too many and way too much super heavy elements in it.
I LOVE this video. Thanks.
