Quasar Spotted in the Milky Way! 

no thanks im full

Thank you Alex and the Astrum team for making this video. SS 433 blows my mind. I’m going to support everyone’s efforts, thank you.❤

Not interested!

@@sssnake1654What? The moon does rotate. It rotates at the same speed as it orbits the planet which is why we only see the one face. It takes 27 days to rotate on its axis and 27 days to orbit the earth

@@ashleyking6743 Huh! I stand corrected. Thank you Ashley.

lolllllllllllllllllllll sgr a* thrifty af aKA cheap

dont aggro the universe dude.

Hilarious! Best analogy! 😄😎

Ah, i love ordering a quasar from mcdonalds

Funny stuff 😂😊We are blessed to not have an ”eraser” nearby. 🤭

Billions die as a relativistic stream of matter obliterates their planet. "It's a girl!" 🎉

I remember " works in a drawer".

​@hherpdderp your comment needs more attention. Gender reveals are this stupid it wouldn't surprise me if an offshoot of the human race in the year 5000 destroyed their planet with a pink or blue mini quasar.

Lmao 💀

@@SpicyMang0s Now I understand why Mom always told us not to sit so close! 😳

Could that also be a very small form of matter mixing into the gamma rays?

Me too

Have we ever captured pictures of two stars colliding?

Oh, nothing to worry about really! As does any main sequence star, the Sun heats up over time. Multicellular life on Earth has ≈500 million years to go, and single-cellular no more than 10⁹ years, when oceans will boil off. Andromeda won't get even much closer in that time, so we'll certainly escape it!

@@travisjohnson622 Astronomers have observed contact binaries - stars with connected gas envelopes.

So we die every time we see a star?

@@TehAntiSpammerwe’re talking about quasars not stars

@@brandon2755 Even thats wrong but alright. seeing them doesnt mean you're dead. If they are pointing directly at you AND they are close enough.

Make one yourself. The sky's the limit nowaday. If necessary, bio- or 3D print one. It took me 5 years but my replicator's finally finished.

Look at it and confirm.

Omg! I remember these televisions being around in the eighties! I completely forgot about them until now! I think my small television in the garage was a Quasar brand…thanks for the walk down memory lane though!

@@ValkyrieofNOLA ❤

That would be amazing

So you found tiny black holes around these quasars too?

@@matthewboire6843 what "would be" amazing? The op didn't speculate about anything theoretical.

​​@@djvapid being able to afford/enjoy the same hobby for themselves? Amateur astronomy beyond a simple small telescope or binocs isn't cheap and can't be done by those of us living in bright cities. I'm quite a few miles out of downtown in my city, and still can only see less than 100 stars any given night. Sometimes it's as low as 20. I'll never forget stargazing when I took a cruise as a teenager. I was truly stunned in awe for hours & spent every night up there on the top deck just chillin with my other nerd friends finding constellations we knew were supposed to be there but had never seen before.

@@djvapid to see the pictures

Nor would NASA or the powers that be would tell us? For obvious reasons!

There is no use burying your head in the sand...

While your sentiment might reflect a common fear of cosmic extinction-level events, it's crucial to approach such assertions with a careful consideration of scientific evidence and preparedness measures. Firstly, dismissing concerns about astronomical events, including the potential impact of asteroids, could undermine proactive efforts to safeguard against such threats. Initiatives like NASA's planetary defense programs, including recent trials aimed at redirecting asteroids from collision courses with Earth, demonstrate proactive measures to mitigate potential risks. For instance, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission aims to test the effectiveness of redirecting an asteroid's trajectory by impacting it with a kinetic impactor. However, it's essential to recognize that while these efforts demonstrate technological capabilities, they do not eliminate the need for ongoing monitoring and preparedness. The impact hazard from asteroids and other celestial bodies remains a real and significant concern, and continued investment in detection, tracking, and mitigation strategies is essential for ensuring the safety and security of our planet. Regarding the suggestion that it might be better not to know about a cosmic extinction-level event, such a stance raises ethical and practical considerations. While uncertainty and fear surrounding catastrophic events are understandable, informed decision-making and preparedness are critical for minimizing potential impacts. Ignorance of impending threats would leave humanity unprepared and vulnerable, with potentially devastating consequences.

@@twobrainedserpent Thanks, ChatGPT

@@ChristophersMum I bet this persons head is firmly planted already.

You might have, but I didn't. And I'd suspect most of the world didn't. We are not ALL astrophysicists.

Can you accept that quasars are newborns from host galaxies? The redshift anomaly is from their unique plasma density. They are not distant.

@@efdangotu I can accept it, I was just asking a question. Why would you assume that i wouldn't accept that fact?

​​@@dynad00d15, not an apologist for bad attitudes, but reddit has taught me that the majority of English speakers--more so native than non-native--have very little depth when it comes to context of their word choice. I'd expect different in a thread about quasars, but then, astro-physicists and their fan boys aren't necessarily known for their people skills.

​@@macblastoff7700 I can understand your frustration, but It's incredibly presumptuous and arrogant to generalize an entire group of people, especially based on a limited experience or exposure like Reddit comments. Implying that English speakers, particularly native speakers, lack depth in their word choice is not only ignorant but also generally insulting. Furthermore, insinuating that astrophysicists and enthusiasts lack people skills is just plain disrespectful. These are individuals who dedicate their lives to understanding the complexities of the universe, often communicating their findings with precision and clarity. What really gets to me is how utterly pointless this comment is. It doesn't add anything constructive to the conversation about quasars or anything else. Instead, it just spreads negativity and reinforces harmful stereotypes. And let me tell you, it's exhausting to come across comments like this when you're genuinely trying to learn and engage in meaningful discussions. But what really baffles me is why someone would mention their expectations just to knock down the same thing they're trying to stand for. It's like shooting yourself in the foot. If we're advocating for understanding and respect, let's actually embody those values instead of undermining them with thoughtless remarks. We need to create spaces where everyone feels welcome to share their insights without fear of being dismissed or belittled. That's how we can truly foster a culture of learning and mutual respect. Peace and love.

Real Muthuphukkin Squeez ...

No, these are stellar mass black hole microquasars.

@@tonywells6990 you are making things up from picture that being taken from far away. its a neutron star you are seeing. there is a massive blackhole in the center of the galaxy, quasar doesnt start close to a giant black hole. and distance from witnessed quasars from nearest galaxy/nebula victims must be nearly twice the nebula's own diameter. its so easy to see space picture and making wild claims. bad habit of earth astronomers of calling things they saw whatever they want like people who spy on other people on a building a kilometer away using a telescope and making up story and assumptions about the person they spy on without knowing their lives.

Weird take

The should we be worried was unnecessary

​@@DataC0llect0rnot at all

It's yourube as a whole, everyone has some sort of clickbait title

It should be clarified that a thing is considered clickbait it is when it promises one thing and delivers another …this video is technically clickbait. There are NO ACTIVE QUASARS in the Milky Way. There are X-ray binaries which are NOT QUASARS but a small stellar mass black hole accreting matter. So yes this is clickbait

Electromagnetism explains a lot.

Two jets is just conservation of angular momentum. If it was one sided it would accelerate the black hole no? Jets have nothing to do with Hawking Radiation (We think; No one actually KNOWS what causes jets because only radio loud feasting black holes make them. Why are some feasting black holes radio loud? 🤷‍♂). Hawking radiation is the hypothetical black body radiation of a black hole and it required a math trick. All objects that have temperature emit light. We humans emit infrared. Figuring out "why hot thing glow that color" was a huge step in our understanding of quantum mechanics. Hawking "found" this radiation by examining quantum fields infinitely far away from the black hole. Basically a limit if you're familiar with basic Calculus.

@@TheWizardMyr Did you even watch the video? No calculus required. There are two SETS of jets, one set starting at the event horizon that end a few light years distance and a second set that start 25 light years away from the black hole, extended to 300 light years.

@@araarashinigamiListen to what he says after he describes that. No one knows whats goin on with jets. We may just not be able to see what's happening in the supposed space between because of something as simple as dust between us and this quasar obscuring this part of the jet. Notice it is this specific quasar that this is occuring at, not a set of quasars that we've observed this at? I'll admit I probably misunderstood your comment, however, the topic of jets in general is something that is not well understood and is an field of active study. Could you clarify what you were suggesting? Were you suggesting that the secondary jet supposedly starting farther away is Hawking Radiation?

​@@TheWizardMyr That makes so much sense, I never thought about it that way. Without the counter balance of the two jets. Black holes would be traveling. Maybe even reaching velocities a fraction of C or more

The boys in the hood are always hard

*Less than the speed of light.

That's because it's complete nonsense.

I'm sorry. I missed the "micro" part of microquasar in the title. I'll go back and re-read it.

Finally somebody is asking the real questions!

570quadrillion years

How hot is a quasar in terms of slaps per second?

Best physics joke ever 😂

Quasars tend to have very active accretion disks and their characteristic relativistic jets. Blackholes with less active accretion disks (or no accretion disk) and no relativistic jets are not quasars.

Well said

i feel like unsubscribing

I didn't mind being "click baited" into learning about these micro-quasars. I sort of guessed it had to be about tiny quasars from regular stellar-mass black holes.

yeah i was thinking the same , he calls them quasars but they are just small active black holes, quasars are specifically entire galaxies with active nuclei.

Meanwhile there are 8 billion human beans on Earth and 90% of them are still learning about todays understandings of space. get over yourselves

This channel isn't for you

Thank god for the comments only wasted 30 seconds before seeing the click bait warnings

@@unitc87 k good talk

Not even entertaining your advice

Thanks g
