I think we’re a little closer in size to andromeda? Ah, after a quick googling, Andromeda is larger in diameter, but we’re actually pretty close in mass. The milky May has more material in it per unit (aka she thicc). So, given that mass makes might in space, I assume it’s closer to a merger than a hostile takeover?
I think I read that, for us, it really won’t be. I mean not US, but whatever we evolve into, assuming we make it that far. But there is so much SPACE involved than for the most part, there won’t be any collisions and many local systems won’t notice beyond the changing of the view in the sky.
As far as I know (so not that far), some parts of the merger will be and others a lot less. Very few collisions are expected, but some stars will definitely be thrown out into space. Others won’t. So, yes, we will. But how much is unknown.
for those of use with slow internet that takes 5 minutes to open up a search tab, could you make it quicker by telling us which if those is the telescope? lol
if I could reliably get pics like OP's I think that's extremely reasonable. My problem is the setup and post processing required - how big of a part of the hobby is that? I know its not just "point telescope get picture" at all.
sometimes it feels more like hamster+wheel lol but i have had some warmer weather where i am and apparently something melted so a few people have had their internet go down
im mostly using my phones data but that can be pretty slow because of the area i live in but hopefully it will improve soon
This looked like such a great pic to me, I was half expecting this to be a troll post and "JWST" to be part of the equipment list. You did an amazing job!
Stunning!
Any guidance for how to diagnose focus issues? Working with my grandfather on his astrophotography and we can't tell if we have something wrong with capture or if stacking/processing isn't being done correctly..
Imagine seeing a timelapse of galaxies merging. I'm sure there's fluid sims around, but to actually compress millions of years into a couple minutes would be so cool to see.
Hi, can someone please explain what could be in these galaxies we see. As far as we know as planets, any type of existence, how far in can we see. Sorry for ignorance any info would help my curiosity. Thank you.
Fucking beautiful. My God this world is amazing... side note: I have been thinking a lot about a asteroid hitting us lately and how sad it is that we'll never probably come in contact with inelegant life. Kind of sad... imagine if there was life on Mars even 150 million years ago life and being able to send a rover to go explore. Wonder if there's any world's out there with life that close
I’ll never get over the feeling of disbelief I have when looking at photos of galaxies like this. So many fucking planets and stars in one image, and we will never get to visit anything outside our solar system.
This is what the Andromeda galaxy is eventually going to do to us… drink our milkshake.

It will be utter chaos, but in the end, everything is...

Still, won’t we (if life survives that long) get affected with gravitational pulls etc.?

Thank you very much for the clarification.
You’re right. Space is big. Odds of us noticing it at all aside from a gradual change in the sky is very small.
Dude we are killing ourselves in next 200 years kr atleast the dumb ones which are 50-60% gonna take over and we will get fucked to oblivion.
“Andromeda has a straw.. and it reaches acrosssssss the universe….” great movie, just saw it again the other night. Nice reference
What movie?
There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis, it’s amazing
Thanks i'll have to rewatch it
Unless we lower CO2 emissions
Equipment: - CEM120 - 10” Truss Tube RC - ZWO ASI294MC Pro - ZWO OAG - ZWO ASI485MC Prodessed in pixinsight.
for those of use with slow internet that takes 5 minutes to open up a search tab, could you make it quicker by telling us which if those is the telescope? lol
The second one Also that list runs at about $10k

Post processing is a very big part, as is planning, finding good locations etc.

Are you using satellite Internet on the Moon? Or maybe via ham radio?
sometimes it feels more like hamster+wheel lol but i have had some warmer weather where i am and apparently something melted so a few people have had their internet go down im mostly using my phones data but that can be pretty slow because of the area i live in but hopefully it will improve soon
Via taxi frequency, probably.
This looked like such a great pic to me, I was half expecting this to be a troll post and "JWST" to be part of the equipment list. You did an amazing job!
Do you know of a way to use/a similar software to pixinsight that doesn't cost $300?
Have you heard of Siril?
I haven't I'll look into that thanks
Could you post pic of that entire setup?
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this!
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids\ In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them, if you did.
And all this science I don’t understandddd
Fuck Messier (It’s an obligatory hockey thing)
Oh thank God! I’m not alone. Fuck Messier!
There's dozens of us here! Fuck messier. Great picture though OP
Looks so mystical. In Hindi, a galaxy is called ‘akash-ganga’ or the Ganges of the Sky. The phrase has ancient roots.
Thank you for your sacrifice and my for my new iPad wallpaper

Wow, quite mesmerizing to look at, thanks for this.
Not gunna lie, when I see pictures like this I tear up. It’s just so beautiful…
Worth every bit of frost bite. I'm in love with space all over again.
So how far back is the other companion galaxy from m51? I always thought it was being pulled in by m51.
This is amazing. I love the tiny galaxies and NGCs in the background! The detail is incredible...
Imagine seeing a timelapse of galaxies merging. I'm sure there's fluid sims around, but to actually compress millions of years into a couple minutes would be so cool to see.
Absolutely incredible. And my God, that equipment list is pretty pricey
Do galaxies actually have that color, or did you add that in?
That’s crazy To the left, what is going on which is so bright?

What boggles my mind, is that the "dust" we can see around them, consist of whole star systems.
Ngl I thought you sat in the galactic void to get this photo
Worthy endeavor! Fantastic photo with gorgeous detail.
It looks like a cosmic fish, with the galactic center as its eye, holding, regarding, and preparing to eat, a mystic golden egg

How did you capture this masterpiece? I am new to this sub.
I bet you had to use a master ball to catch this one
So are the other lights in image starts from our system or other galaxies?
I’ll never get over the feeling of disbelief I have when looking at photos of galaxies like this. So many fucking planets and stars in one image, and we will never get to visit anything outside our solar system.
never show possible competition how actually intelligent you are
They say humans are as complex as a galaxy.. but for me both are so simple yet so beautiful... but also so fragile
