Astronomer Rides Simulation To The Edge Of The Universe—Chasing Light From The Big Bang
Using his telescope, a YouTuber looked into the distant past of the cosmos.
Astrobiscuit, a YouTuber who specialises in astrophotography, set out to snap some of the most remote vistas in space.
He visited La Palma in the Canary Islands for his documentary, where he installed a €16,000 telescope that was kindly loaned to him at the ATHOS Centro Astronómico, a remote observatory situated 900 meters above the Atlantic Ocean.
This was the ideal place to test the boundaries of what could be seen from Earth because it offered an unhindered view of the night sky.
Beyond well-known astronomical bodies like the Moon and Jupiter, Astrobiscuit focused on the enigmatic Oort Cloud, which is situated between 30 and 700 light-days away.
This cloud is “teaming with a cloud of 100 billion NYC size snowballs,” he explained.
The YouTuber added, “You can’t see the blooming comets, not even NASA can see them. They can only see them when they come closer to our solar system.”
“If one of these cosmic giants were to move toward Earth at high speed, it could be catastrophic and ‘wipe out every single one of us,” Astrobiscuit explained.
Astrobiscuit moves outside of our galaxy and points his telescope at Andromeda, which is 2.5 million light years away.
By contrasting a typical 35mm camera lens with a more potent 135mm lens, he illustrates how Andromeda transforms from a “smudged out star” to a heavenly beauty.
Despite being millions of light-years away, Andromeda is really six times broader than the Moon, and its brightness illuminates the night sky, according to Astrobiscuit.
Astrobiscuit targets the Cheshire Cat, a celestial body located 4.5 billion light-years distant, using a Hubble Space Telescope.
Its two “eyes,” which are actually gravitational lenses, gave it its moniker, while Astrobiscuit stated that the “smile and outline of a face belong to galaxies from the very dawn of our universe.”
But it was difficult to acquire a good picture of anything that far away. Light that had travelled for 12 billion years before arriving at his telescope had to be captured.
Additionally, Microsoft Windows decided to update, which made things more complicated and resulted in Astrobiscuit receiving less data than he would have preferred.
The finished pictures, however, astounded spectators.
“Can we all agree that this man should have his own program on BBC!!!” a person responded.
“Telescopes are literally like a window into the past, they are amazing instruments,” another said.
“I have watched unlimited amount of videos on Youtube throughout my life and i can say THIS video is literally one of the best videos i’ve ever seen,” a different individual said. “what a great and mind blowing experience the Cheshire cat looks interesting and weird in a beautiful scary way.”
