An Epic Journey Around The Milky Way | Space Documentary 2024

Billions of years ago, our Milky Way was a cosmic cradle, birthing stars and forging the elements. Witness the birth of massive blue giants and the fiery explosions that shaped our galactic neighborhood.
We’ll soar through vast nebulae—the celestial factories where stars ignite. Nebulas, like cosmic clouds, sculpt new suns, and their colors reveal the secrets of stellar evolution. Our Milky Way isn’t a simple spiral; it’s a majestic barred spiral. Explore the central bar—a bustling hub of stars, gas, and perhaps even a supermassive black hole.

Beyond the visible disk lies the enigmatic galactic halo. Ancient stars, globular clusters, and dark matter weave a cosmic tapestry. What secrets hide in this celestial veil? Brace yourselves for the grand finale—a plunge toward Sagittarius A*, our Milky Way’s supermassive black hole. Could it hold the key to understanding the universe’s deepest mysteries?

So ignite your curiosity, and join us on this epochal journey. From the Orion Arm to the Perseus Spur, we’ll unravel the Milky Way’s story—one light-year at a time.

Perhaps the most underrated space documentary.

Ahhh beautiful, another bedtime/sleep documentary ❤ 💤 😴 💤 😴 sweet dreams everyone

When I was in late 70s in horn Africa viewing night sky was something that fascinated me. The absence of clouds and artificial light exposed billions of galleries, stars, planets and artificial satellites. The view was absolutely priceless. Things changed. The globalization brought pollution in every environment.

when i can't sleep or i can't decide what movie to watch i just enter on youtube and search space documentary. best things ever made, no pills or anything...just pure sound. so today this video is the chosen one. good night 🌃

[suzannemcclure]

Great fascinating presentation. Overwhelming in a positive way.

[DonnaQuh]

i always look forward to your videos, they’re enlightening!

[electrovoyage]

I knew I would enjoy this documentary when you included Pluto ❤. As a celestial body of course

[Hermes]

Most beautiful documentary on our
place in the Cosmos. Danke sehr und vielen Dank.

We are all just specks of dust in this universe when looking at its vastness.

[gardengeek]

Love science documentaries. But, because so much of astronomy has to be explained with animation, it is not always certain if the mind behind the presentation is a real person or artificial intelligence.

This is one of the better, modern presentations. Good at presenting sizes and distances with continuous reference back to our Earth, Sun and Solar system for comparison.

It makes sense to provide both Imperial and Metric measurements for an international audience. Also does a good job of naming the people who made the major
breakthroughs in astronomy in the last 300 years, from Messier to Hubble.

This might be the most intelligent report on its channel. The rest looks dubious.

[mridulpandey]

Great information and wonderful representation 😇
57:20, there is another theory being proposed that these super/ultra massive Black Holes might have been formed due to the direct collapse of very giant dust clouds during primordial universe.

[novakaya]

This video has some of the most exquisite astronomy art I’ve ever seen. Absolutely incredible

Thank you

We are closer in size to the atoms that make our bodies than we are to the space we exist in.

[marklangmann]

I’m am a bit confused at 42:00 the narrator states that the sun has completed 18-20 galactic orbits since the beginning of mankind.

[brianshracta]

Interesting video. Thanks for posting.

[ramkittu]

Very good explanation 👏 i loved it broo from 🇮🇳 india keep on going

[Redstar-fe]

God didn't name it the 'Milkyway, ' man did.

[Shortcake]

Gn guys hope your phones don’t die while sleeping to this😊

A Type V civilization would be advanced enough to to escape their universe of origin and explore the multiverse. Such a civilization would have mastered technology to a point where they could simulate or build a custom universe. They will have mastered the new laws of physics and have almost complete control over the fabric of reality. Now, humanity is basically impossible to destroy by its own inhabitants, which has reached the decillions.

I love the information in this documentary, very systematically presented and easy to follow.
The only thing that’s bugging me is the AI narration. I was on the fence until the heliosphere bit when the word “buffet” was pronounced as a noun rather than a verb.
I’m sure there are no plates of food in space 😅
Sorry if that’s a bit picky! (Oo, unintentional pun, love it 🤣)
