Astronomy Magazine How To - Observe Galaxies

About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. Recently I saw M81 and M82 ..Conditions had to be perfect ..I saw them with my 9x63 binoculars...
2. Wow, geez, can't i try to make a point? Don't have to be so rude over it geez
3. m33 is triliglium galaxy
4. I am sorry to be a criticizer, but at 1:17 ( I want to be a astronomer myself) that my friend is NOT the Milky Way galaxy, it is not even a irregular galaxy it is a spiral 
5. of course, Andromeda galaxy, or any other won't look like this. They will be black and white. 
6. It's just awesome finding out about space, my interest in astronomy has grown quite a lot over the years, and I now have a decent telescope.
7. Nice video! I am an artist on YouTube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time This theory is based on just two postulates 1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function represents the forward passage of time itself 2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event 
8. They really need to make it clear they won't look like this through the eyepiece. These are processed/stacked photos from Hubble and professional observatories. However, if you find M42, you will see it in all of its glory with a good scope.
9. Bastards show Hubble images and talk about backyard observations - and what you see in the EP is usualy a blurry spot in the darkness of the sky. 
10. My girlfriend gave me a cheap telescope last year and after playing around with it a few times, I've been bitten by the bug again. Plan to buy a kit and get started building a big one. I live way out in the boonies so light conditions just a few miles out of town will be quite good. Might even buy a trailer to haul it out there. I'll keep it lo-tec so I can spend on the optics. Any suggestions on where to start?
11. Graet tour!
12. google Doe's Account.
13. Excellent clip. 4" (100mm) scope, dark skies; now we know what we're gunning for. 70mm scope and skies that resemble orange soup, me. Is it just my impression or is light polution getting less? Perhaps the air is be getting cleaner and not reflecting the light so much .
14. The "denser" space is, the slower the time passes in that region of space. Space is "denser" near gravitational bodies such as planets, stars, and black holes, so time passes slower the closer you get to them. In intergalactic space, time passes many times faster than past the event horizon of a black hole, because space isn't nearly as "dense". The more space, the slower the time, and vice versa. To be able to locally speed up time would mean reducing light years to miles, allowing FTL.
15. Interesting video and great photos!!
16. @peteq1972 anything with any mass cannot reach the Speed of Light. << Ahh, wrong. Light being physical with wave and particles [too small to be detected] has mass. Light can bend only because it has mass of some undetected type. A light photon with mass, travels at the speed of light c and defies the Lorenze theory. It is not time that stops it is the instruments of time measurement that assumes time stops and are observed mathmaticaly and instrumentaly.
17. @peteq1972 Without matter or events time still exists<< Because even in nothingness, and the absence of all events, the non-physicalness of time is unaffected. Because time is something that when measured by physical events becomes a believable illusion of objectivity, or of matter. If you traveled backward in time to see yourself, as you hypothesized; time would still be going forward at its same immeasurable pace. You measure time by physical constants. Time is unaffected by the physical.
18. @peteq1972 No it doesn`t.<< Time is independent of gravitation. Your light measurement, c falsely entwined with time, interprets time, gravitation & space as interdependent. Of course it is all you have for the moment to come as close as you can to minimize the inaccuracies. By time zero or t-0, means 0 to the fraction of time when the alleged Big Bang started. BB must obey the action reaction laws; proving a pre BB, where time also existed, although immeasurable, forming into the BB.
19. @peteq1972 No events << Who said there is no sub-atomic particles? Not me. I said the measurement of time like atomic clocks uses them. Time never stops, ever. The observances of events changes. Time is still existing forward even traveling at c. Without matter or events time still exists. Scientist think time must be at zero. Even the mathematics concerning the motion of matter and objects is flawed as it appears to indicate time at zero. However it is not at zero!
20. @peteq1972 faster than light <, This in no means effects time, You only see what appears as the past; as time just keeps trudging along. No real way to measure time. Time is now measured by particles or increments of light from a to b. A light-less universe, would still have the same constant of time passage regardless of any light or sub-atomic particle physics! This is the time paradoxical phenomenon faced today that crushes all other theories of origins, metaphysics & physics at their core!
