The Real Stars and Scale of Sci-fi

Video Description

I use open-source software like Blender to make these videos. And I support and recommend using the open-source, no-logs, end-to-end encrypted VPN service provided by Proton. Check it out here: https://go.getproton.me/SH2Fi Some of the franchises mentioned: Star Trek, The Martian, Dune, Bobiverse, Halo, Mass Effect, Firefly, Serenity, Stargate, Guardians of the Galaxy, Known Space, Hyperion, The Expanse, Foundation, and A Fire Upon the Deep. Thanks to @MrHulthen for the Mass Effect music. Check it out and his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57-xIuu4Vvw CORRECTIONS: There is an error in the depiction of the tilt of the earth: it is tilted away from the galactic core, not towards it. I am publishing a high-resolution standalone video of the galactic scale animation soon. Also, in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it was a fictional Voyager 6 launched in 1999 that then fell into a wormhole. But still unlikely that there's a wormhole hanging out outside the solar system... ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:43 - Star Wars 02:25 - Voyager 1 03:15 - Galactic Scale 04:45 - Intergalactic Scale 05:13 - Andromeda 06:10 - Stargate 08:48 - Starship Troopers 09:11 - Foundation 10:17 - A Fire Upon the Deep 10:59 - Star Trek Galaxy 12:21 - 1000 Lightyears 16:29 - 100 Lightyears 26:00 - Firefly/Serenity 29:40 - Dune 31:21 - Known Space 33:16 - Bobiverse 34:09 - Homo Sideria ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ SCIENTIFIC SOURCES The data used for the star positions are the astronexus AT-HYG and HYG 3.5 databases. https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database https://github.com/astronexus/ATHYG-Database Oort Cloud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud#cite_ref-4 https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0512256 https://web.archive.org/web/20180123211102/https://www.universetoday.com/32522/oort-cloud/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_and_brown_dwarfs#Distant_future_and_past_encounters https://www.universetoday.com/32522/oort-cloud/ Sol 26,000 lightyears from the core: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016ApJ...830...17B/abstract Size of the Milkyway: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998Obs...118..201G/abstract 2,000,000,000,000 Galaxies: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/0004-637X/830/2/83 Sagittarius A*: https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1974ApJ...194..265B https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003ANS...324..497G/abstract Betelgeuse Supernova: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/0004-637X/819/1/7 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ SOCIAL Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheOverviewEffects Twitter: https://twitter.com/OverviewEfect Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/overviewefects/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552024642764 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ATTRIBUTION "Stargate - USS Daedalus | BC-304" (https://skfb.ly/o8pJw) by NepsterCZ is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike "Star Wars Bantha Walk" (https://skfb.ly/ov9Sp) by michael50 is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Pillar of Autumn by Archandachxs is licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution license. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2956866 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ LEGAL-ISH DISCLAIMER All non-licensed clips are used for fair use commentary, criticism, and educational purposes.
