The 10 Strangest Galaxies in the Universe

the greatest showman of the 19th century Phineas Taylor Barnum made society believe that a star lives in every creature on our planet imagine what kind of show he could create having in his arsenal not the physiological abnormalities of man but disturbing anomalies of cosmic proportions jellyfish tadpole Yeti baby boom zombie and cannibal these are the interesting nicknames given to the strangest galaxies of the universe so how about a little star show the first number in our performance is the abominable space Yeti recently US astronomer Christina Williams noticed an unknown spot of dim light in the sky it turned out that the glow is caused by particles of a dust cloud heated by the stars of a huge galaxy previously it was impossible to see this celestial body through its dust curtain it could only be distinguished using an array of ultra-modern Alma radio telescopes further exploration of the Giants simply stunned scientists it was so ancient that it's hard to even imagine according to the calculations of researchers the galaxy was born over 12.5 billion years ago the universe itself by cosmic standards is not much older it may have celebrated just thirteen point five billion birthdays astronomers gave the cosmic relic the nickname Yeti and were puzzled by the question how can a galaxy survive for so long but it turned out that yet he also had another unique property at its wise and respected old age this ancient galaxy produces stars a hundred times faster than the Milky Way however this is not the strangest galaxy among those that we already know galaxies basically look like foggy spherical elliptical discs shape or spiral gray spots illuminated by the light of stars but not ESO one 37-0 zr1 located in the constellation southern triangle it's very similar to a jellyfish with bright blue tentacles the jellyfish moves at a tremendous speed of about 2,000 kilometers per second relative to its environment in the Abell three six to seven cluster the space between the galaxies is filled with an intra cluster medium made up of superheated plasma a strong stream of red hot plasma permeates the galaxy as it moves there's a shock force that is stronger than its gravitational attraction this force like the wind blows gas from Medusa and it's flows form tentacles in this case dust particles and stars are not subjected to as much pressure so the general appearance of the galaxy is preserved 300 million light years from Earth in the constellation dragon is a galaxy in the form of another aquatic inhabitant the tadpole it's huge tail stretches for 500,000 light years which is ten times the diameter of the Milky Way perhaps two disk galaxies stretched out a smaller dwarf one and formed a space object with such a strange shape at one end many stars are grouped together forming the semblance of a head the remaining stars are stretched into a long tail however scientists are still not quite sure about this explanation they continue to study the galaxy in order to accurately determine the causes of its strange configuration but it would seem that not only astronomers are observing space galaxies ic2 207 is quite similar to a huge eye carefully examining everything around it for this it was named the Eye of Sauron from the fantasy film the Lord of the Rings this form of ic2 207 is created by the environment of dense clumps of the stars and dust of two other galaxies NGC - 207 and icy - 163 according to astrophysicists the I will observe the universe for only another several tens of millions of years this is just a blink of an eye in the cosmic concept of time so finding such a phenomenon is pretty unique another very strange galaxy Messier 63 is located in the constellation of Canis Venatici at a distance of 57 million light-years from Earth it looks like a sunflower as if it came from a painting by Van Gogh the galaxy consists of a central disc surrounded by short-sleeves petals of blue-white stars this cosmic sunflower has the unique ability to constantly change colors astronomers always see its core bright yellow and the petals appear milky white then purple blue or brown in turn wise jay - two four six zero seven point five seven - oh five two six three five point zero from the constellation Aquarius is not any less refined in its form but it shines brighter than 300 trillion Sun at its center is supposedly a supermassive black hole due to its gravity the black hole attracted gas and matter to itself forming a hot rotating disc around it the disk temperature reaches several million degrees it emits ultraviolet and x-rays that heat up clouds of dust around the black hole the red hot clouds begin to radiate with infrared and turning the galaxy into the brightest object of its type in the universe located 4.3 billion light-years from Earth max j0 for 1/6 in the constellation air adonis also burns brightly in the night sky it's glow may have arisen as a result of the collision and gradual merger of two huge galactic clusters an image taken by the Hubble telescope captures clouds of gas and dust characteristic of such a space accident as well as displacements in the positions of clusters of dark matter there's an assumption that as a result of these processes inside the max j0 for 1/6 a record amount of hydrogen was gathered a necessary ingredient for intense star formation but the incredible fertility of the galaxy which is located about 12.2 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation sextant is beyond doubt among scientists galaxies are thought to slowly produce stars from gas and dust but this one is operating at a record speed for which it has received the nickname baby boom she manages to give birth to a new star in just two hours while for example the Milky Way takes 36 days to do this in other words they b-boom produces four thousand stars a year and our galaxy only produces ten this galaxy will need just 50 million years to become the most massive ever seen according to astrophysicist Peter K pack of the NASA science center if people gave birth so frequently then nearly everyone living today would be the same age max - 1 - 9 - 1 in the constellation Ursa Major is the exact opposite of baby boom this massive disc shaped galaxy rotates twice as fast as the Milky Way but is far less active it received the nickname the zombie galaxy because for 10 billion years it has not formed a single new star scientists are wondering why the dead galaxy is not disappeared like others well they're inclined to the hypothesis that some cosmic zombies somehow internally rebuild their structure as they age w - 2 4 6 - 0 5 - 6 from the constellation Aquarius might also have long been in the category of zombies due to the loss of hydrogen necessary for star formation however it found a way out and began to obtain vital gas from its neighbors scientists using the gbt telescope discovered cold streams of hydrogen which like bridges connect the space between mg c6 9 4 6 and it's smaller companions by now presumably this cannibal has already sucked out about half the mass of three galaxies and is very actively producing stars it was given the nickname fireworks galaxies due to the large number of supernovae in its leaves over the past hundred years alone astronomers have discovered eight such stars however it's likely that our Milky Way is also going to eat its own kind according to one theory in for billion years it will suck out all the hydrogen from the large and small Magellanic Clouds and then completely absorb them but after 5 billion years it in turn will be swallowed by another cannibal the Andromeda nebula but this is still in the very distant future and for now scientists are looking for clues to numerous other phenomena in our galaxy for example soon they hope to determine the nature of the strange magnetic field inside the Milky Way it's a stream of high-energy particles that extend over a distance of fifteen thousand parsecs through the galaxy this distance is approximately half the diameter of the Milky Way another interesting hypothesis remains to be verified the existence of not just one but two black holes in our galaxy it was previously believed that in the centre of the Milky Way there's only one supermassive celestial body presumably a black hole but in 2016 Japanese astrophysicists discovered a second such object 200 light-years from the middle of the Milky Way its diameter is 0.3 lightyears and its mass exceeds the weight of one hundred thousand suns strange shocking and amazing worlds surround us no matter how hard scientists try to fully catalog the universe they still won't be able to sort through all its secrets any time soon but the more ambitious the goal the more enthusiasm humanity displays in its pursuit perhaps modern technological developments will help us see beyond the usual in this respect great hopes are placed on a space telescope called the James Webb whose launch is scheduled for March of in 21 maybe it will allow us to see new galaxies that will impress us even more and which galaxy seemed most unusual to you tell us about it in the comments if you like this video and want more issues on the same topic of space give us a quick thumbs up subscribe to the channel click on the bell so you don't miss anything all the most stellar videos are still yet to come [Music]
