The Andromeda Galaxy is our massive galactic neighbour, a spiral galaxy more than double the size of the Milky Way. In this video, we will be taking a journey, from this galaxy's ancient history, right up to its remote future- using the latest and most beautiful images to know our cosmic neighbour like never before. This is our journey to the Andromeda Galaxy...

    FYI I uploaded this last night but the audio at the start was bugged so this is a re-upload with that fixed. Enjoy 😊
  • I can't imagine the absolute awe the astronomer experienced the moment he realized there were other galaxies.
  • @alishahrose2076
    It's mind-boggling that even though the two galaxies contain billions and billions of stars, there's low chances of star collisions during the merger. It makes you put the interstellar distances into perspective.
  • People on planets in The Andromeda Galaxy are probably watching the same kind of videos about the Milky Way galaxy.
  • @TJSaw
    The universe is a truly magical place. Far more beautiful than the human mind can comprehend. Every time I think I about the sheer expanse of creation, I am humbled almost to the point of tears.
  • @anonymouse7640
    Meanwhile in Andromeda :- Journey to the Milky way (4K)
  • I wish I could be here in 3 billion years time so I could look up and see Andromeda in all its glory.
  • @oldman2800
    Remember the light we can see today from Andromeda is a two and a half million year fossil
  • @Redzen.No.0488
    This shows how insignificant our trifling little planet really is. And how triflingly insignificant human beings are.
  • @roryedward2631
    Imagine being able to look up into the night sky, and seeing a spectacular & breathtakingly beautiful spiral Galaxy across the entire heavens.
  • @someguydan
    I love how Hubble pulls back the curtain after the "The great debate of 1920" and exposes the minds of colleagues to the unimaginable vastness of the universe. Like standing on a cliff edge in the night and arguing it's the edge of the world while he just throws a rock into the darkness and they hear it clatter below minutes later.
  • Let's appreciate the photographer who literally had to travel around the universe to get these fantastic pictures
  • 15:54 This photograph blew my mind This is a close up picture of a small dwarf galaxy that orbits around the main Andromeda galaxy. Every blip of light is an entire solar system. There's something about this picture that really puts everything in to scale. Just.. wow.
  • @Kryptic1046
    Immanuel Kant was a boss for figuring out what Andromeda was over 200 years ago. Given the general thinking and the way people viewed the universe at the time , it is mind-blowing that he worked it out so long ago; he was essentially correct.
  • No words can explain how important these videos are to me personally! With sincere gratitude, thank you.
  • @ahuramazda980
    One of the best space videos ever produced. I appreciate the way you are able to communicate such complex concepts in a palatable form. Thank you!
  • I recently bought my first house and played all your videos while I painted the rooms and did some minor repair over the course of two months before fully moving in. Your videos are the best and are now forever part of my memory of my new home. I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved away. This video is so fitting for me to finally have made a comment with a Hawaiian name given to the super cluster. Thank you.
  • @avedic
    The super high res photos that show SO MANY STARS....is just mesmerizing. And to think....each of those teeny tiny dots....are so unbelievably far away from each other. The scope and scale of it all is incredible and super inspiring.
  • @yenlabuda9289
    I'm enjoying the fact that you managed to make the video about Andromeda terrifying, yet beautiful.
  • Utterly fascinating. It boggles the mind the size of this universe.
