Universe Size Comparison 3D - 5th Anniversary Edition

Hey everyone! This video is a remaster of Universe Size Comparison 3D, which was uploaded about 5 years ago. I wanted to remake the video with improved graphics after all these years. Many people don't know that I made the original one on a barely working laptop when I was 14 (and had to render outside because it kept overheating!) so despite the video's success, there were still a number of factual and graphical errors. This video is intended to fix those, and will probably be my final addition to the Universe Size Comparison series, as I don't see any real way I can bring anything new to it anymore, and I'd like to work on some other projects. Enjoy!

All measurements represent diameter. The mass (and thus size) of the Phoenix A central black hole is quite uncertain at this point in time, so the size shown here represents the upper bound of current estimates.

Music: 'Get Back Up' by Silent Partner

Made with Blender 3.0

5 years since the first universal size video, i know many of you had good times and bad times, and i wish you all to be happy and healthy for the next 5 years.

[Freshykz]

I can't get over the fact that it's been 5 years since the original

[soirbon]

Officialy the best channel for size comparaisons

I feel so small...

[CompactStar]

This is a worthy sequel to the original! As a comparison maker myself, I'm still astonished how you got Blender to handle such a wide range of scales in a single project

[hakam]

The shivers I get while watching these are on a different level. How can the human mind even begin to understand how insignificant we are to whatever is out there?

[mattcristiano]

Glad to be back on the channel :)
No matter how hard the videos you make, it's very successful
I've been watching you since 2018, and man, you're so amazing!
You will never be forgotten!!!!

[Sinang]

Wow, 5 years. Especially, since then, I never forget 2019 one. It was stunning. Good work.

Man I remember revisiting the original so many times, this is a vast improvement! Too bad my notifications made me 5 days late though

Bro it was just a few days ago that I began rewatching all of the originals and admiring their glory. No way this just dropped today!!! What are the odds?!?! I love it!!!

[angelicstatueoftheinnerpath]

ton 618’s (and phoenix a*) size is just so so mind breaking. a black hole of that size just makes no sense. there are some really scary stuff out there

[luxHMT]

I remember watching this back when i was 10, great times! So much has changed and definetly improved alot on the visuals ❤🔥

[smf]

Happy 5 years! Here's to even more years of making us feel small and insignificant with these comparisons. Thanks for the awesome content!

[thebluescar]

Its been 5 years... can't believe it.
This is so nostalgic.

I like how you also used the same music and did this in the same style but with better quality, this is a good 5th anniversary, truthtful to the original.
Some things were left out but its still similar, Rip UY scuti. For example.

[whitebird]

The largest star 5 years ago was UY Scuti
but now it is Stephenson 2-18
It will be interesting to see what it will be like in 5 years!

One of the important videos of the internet is now remastered. Very nice. Wonder what the 10th anniversary will be in the future.

[SubhamSinhaOfficial]

When I first saw the first Universe Size Comparison video, I was amazed at how big everything else is in comparison to the Earth. 🤯

[knypekstream]

damn i loved watching those few years ago... and the music... it hits different... damn

[Aztroguy]

I remember watching the one 5 years ago. It was the first video of Universe Size Comparison and that was the video that actually made me get interested about astronomy. I started studying physics and playing games about astronomy. Well, happy 5 year anniversary of the 2018 video!

Man I love it when you added Stephenson and Phoenix you're the best ever ❤
