Space: ESA / GAIA : The motion of two million stars – 5 Million years into the future
Awesome Space: ESA / GAIA : The motion of two million stars – 5 Million years into the future
Published on Apr 12, 2017
This video shows the 2 057 050 stars from the TGAS sample, which was published as part of the first data release of ESA’s Gaia mission (Gaia DR1) on 14 September 2016, with the addition of 24 320 bright stars from the Hipparcos Catalogue that are not included in Gaia’s first data release. The stars are plotted in Galactic coordinates and using a rectangular projection: in this, the plane of the Milky Way stands out as the horizontal band with greater density of stars.
The video starts from the positions of stars as measured by Gaia between 2014 and 2015, and shows how these positions are expected to evolve in the future, based on the proper motions from TGAS. The frames in the video are separated by 750 years, and the overall sequence covers 5 million years. The stripes visible in the early frames reflect the way Gaia scans the sky and the preliminary nature of the first data release; these artefacts are gradually washed out in the video as stars move across the sky.
The shape of the Orion constellation can be spotted towards the right edge of the frame, just below the Galactic Plane, at the beginning of the video. As the sequence proceeds, the familiar shape of this constellation (and others) evolves into a new pattern. Two stellar clusters – groups of stars that were born together and consequently move together – can be seen towards the left edge of the frame: these are the alpha Persei (Per OB3) and Pleiades open clusters.

Those must be stellar mass black holes whipping those stars around like that right? The ones that quickly changed speed and direction?
Beautiful!
I will be surprised if GAIA doesn't straight up solve dark matter with extreme prejudice.
Wow!!
I love space to but are theses the actual position of these stars and there projected path over 5 million years or a bunch of specks in a computer just moving around?
Is this in one Galaxy orrrr? Some correct me please
listening to across the universe while seeing this has to be one of the most magical and relaxing things on the internet
My life seems so meaningless now.
spettacolo =D
amo muito i espaço
it's unfathomable and amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing
One life is blink!
so Universe is expanding, isnt it?
what is that shining at the middle?
dimmer
concentration of stars to the right is bexoming bright while left is becoming dinmer
Down asf i keep thinking they are gonna crash but I forget they are light years away from each other
ở nhóm sao đó dường như có rất nhiều những hố đen đang lang thang trong đó.
mà tôi cũng chả hình dung nổi tôi đang nhìn thứ gì.
Sorry but this is just made by computer, In that 5 million of years no supernovas, no collisions??? I just say that because in our galaxy just in the past 200 years has been a few nupersovas, star collisions….. And here in 5 millions of years nothing??? If it was just to show us the movement from stars, what's the point???? A bunch of lights moving around????. It should be better to show us a real galaxy and his move in the next 5 millions of years. Sorry if my comment is not liked but its my opinion.
Looks cool&great but pretty pointless, I mean a human being only lives at most 100years in rare extreme cases,
what difference does it make to us what the future will be in millions of years from now ? 😀
It was just amazing
Души ждут своего перерождения …
wow….
Is this simulation from a fixed point or from our moving earth?
why do some of them move really fast, then slowdown?
If only it didn't look so garbage with YouTube compression..
en español please
nice space like
This space is fkn strange. We havent discovered 0.1% of it yet.
I don't understand
is this real plz comment below plz
Atleast add background music
When human thinks he is dust compared with earth …so earth is dust of the dust compared with our observed universe xD and time in universe not really relevenat … maaan to be immortal should suck 😀 lets create self learning self fixing self sustain AI robot and after few mil years he will suicide xD
Glowing space dust!
I found this to be very calming and soothing. Don't know why…
Who are we?….what are we?….why are we?!
Do the stars slow down over time? It appeared to me that they moved faster and faster at first.
