Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a new study that tries to explain the mystery of why there are no red giants near the center of the galaxy.Paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/abbd94

8:30 Extremely energetic conditions. Red light is low energy.
Love your content. Glad you’re so knowledgeable and do the research.
maybe black holes just react to hydrogen and helium in a way we dont understand yet
Because there is NO Black Hole near a red giant star………………nor far away…..
bet-el-gerz, bet-el-gers, bet-el gerz – how many times must you be told
It will be great when our star is so beautiful 😍✨❤💖💕
Anton, I’d like to see you on Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Yay thats exactly what i thought why there are none 😂
I really like your content on these bubbles. I hope we get to understand them in my lifetime. I think you’re interested in them as well. And I think that’s why I’m now interested in them! I hope you do more videos on them. Gosh the galactic center is an interesting place.
What does “near” mean exactly? Where are the closest red giants to Sgr A situated? That should help give some answers.
Occam’s Razor.
The Black Hole ate them.
can i call you my science teacher?
the commercial before the vid was a con artist scamming innocent people. smh
3:57 centre of the celestial body is Antons face
One of best youtube channels, definitely
You NEED to do a follow up video on water. There were too many factual errors in the video, and the comment section is a hot bed of pseudoscience advocates.
I think it’s so cool that we can see the stars at the center of the Milky Way & how they interact with the supermassive black hole – that Nobel Prize was well-earned!
There is always an exception, except this. So there is always an exception.
5:20 looks like a dz2 orbital, crazy
Lack of gaseous matter in the general area?
Once again a very interesting video
Well done
Hey beardman!
well, we know the answer to his last: no, there is nothing we can do about it.
Expanding, less productive, expelling gas. Red giant or a human approaching middle age?
These improvements in galactic dynamic modelling and measurement are awe inspiring but also somewhat terrifying regarding our own small spec of dust.
I love how much I learn watching your videos. Shared with my nephew who cant get enough astronomy. Now he is a wonderful person as well!
Gotta say… Getting through 2020 was easier because of you Anton!! Thanks so much!!
My guess would be that’s due to the fact that red giants aren’t compact enough to survive the massive tidal forces involved in the region of such a massive gravitational source.
I once had the second comment on one of Anton Petrov’s videos…such a good time
“Is there anything we can do to stop it?” Let me answer that question for you now: no.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Because I prefer Green Giants.
They’re all in Dyson spheres
well, there’s not much we can do to stop it from happening, but yeah, we can prep to make sure we have the best protection for it if it happens.
Hey Anton- will we actually lose our moon? After all that time would the Apollo artifacts and footprints still be there?
This can mean only one thing: Unicron has awakened.
Perhaps that is why no aliens…their sun explodes and there is not enough time to escape the nebula…😭
Supermassiveblackhhhhole! can only be pronounced like Muse.
You look like you’ve been losing a bit of weight; been working out?
How Anton finds new science everyday for a video is going to be the subject of its own video soon…
To over simply, Red Giants are too fragile to survive near a black hole.
Thanks again Anton.
Hello Wonderful Anton :o)
How sad if humans would be the only beings with self awareness and an appreciation of what happens in the universe.
“there’s always an exception” and always exceptions to exceptions :p. red giants tend to be somewhat delicate at least as far as tidal forces go, the slightest imbalance could send them over the edge…then there’s getting their outer envelope ripped off…that can’t be conducive to long term stability or visibility/detectability as a red giant.
Hey Anton we have the same T-shirt on. Ha Ha Ha, I got mine the other week, and it’s “really… really…wonderful!!”🖖🦘
Anton “Oddly, No Red Giant Stars Exist Near Central Black Hole…But Why?” “Cherry flavor is my favorite!”
Sgr A*
First
Thank you, wonderful person.
Hello wonderful person ! Love the video !!! Feel free to make shorter videos or even longer ones ! No matter how short or long your videos are always so fascinating and interesting.
Probably lots of collisions in the inner galaxy, so there should be fewer objects/parsec and probably exotic stars and planets due to so many collisions.
All events in space are plasma events. Red giant and red dwarf stars have a very large anode plasma sheath surrounding them which is what glows red so the red stars actual size is smaller and it can also have planets orbiting inside this anode plasma sheath. Black holes are very high energy plasmoids. Cosmic webs are plasma filaments. Supernovas are plasma double layer explosions, a sudden release of stored electromagnetic energy. Nebular clouds are plasma clouds.
There Anton said it “ WE DONT REALLY KNOW” Everyone drink !!
anton calls even the black holes beautiful, lol
anton: hello wonderful black hole
wonderful black hole: hello wonderful anton, glad to see you – pasta time?
Red giant’s are experts at social distancing!!
@ 4:20 I love how you can follow the spiral outwards. It shows that the star is spinning and if the rate of expansion is known than you can workout the rate of spin.
Dandelions just don’t hold up very well next to Jet Engines.
Yeah we need to prevent the black hole becoming active. Let’s get right on that.
Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
I love this channel.
Edit: I wonder how many planets orbit those stars that orbit the black hole.
If there were red giants present, that would be a lot harder to explain with the known laws of physics.
The magnetic dynamo charges them
I’ve been keeping an eye on the skies.. its getting weird
i love your videos, science and astronomy has always been my favorite subjects. geology too
Well if the event happened about 4 million years ago we could look to see if you can see any major events happening on earth at the time that cannot be explained by events that commonly occur in our system or on our planet
tse..she could have focussed better on the black hole, those stars are blobs, not needlepinpoints

This one was fascinating
thank you
😃
Is there anything we can do if our black hole becomes active again? Yea, pray to your god.
I wonder, if the red giants simply get torn appart that close, because as they expand out the density around the center leeches material off them,
I read, “RED GIANT SEXIST”!! Way to get someone’s attention!
Anton, you are a Big Star
On Youtube✨
1.6ly is 1half of 1 parsec,,,3.26ly… does that mean anything,,,?
LBRY
The central cubic parsec around Sagittarius A* contains around 10 million stars. Although most of them are old red giant stars, the Galactic Center is also rich in massive stars. More than 100 OB and Wolf–Rayet stars have been identified there so far.
I love learning about black holes!!!
Does that mean I can make the prediction we will find some things called Wuzstars?
I have a bike, no bell, waiting for prize….
Maybe this is a sign we don’t actually know what red giant stars are. I’m far more interested in the possibility that red stars are those which have moved out of alignment with their feed birkeland current and therefore they’ve swollen-up to try and catch more electrons to compensate. The concentration of currents at the centre means it’s much easier for stars to get fed by electrons and therefore they can never become red giants.
There are brown stars wonder if there are brown holes in space?
Inserting ” i dont need sleep , i need answers” meme
Thanks again Anton!
Commenting for support.
Yeah, ok, but what about aliens
Checking in 👌
They dont swing that way. 😁
This a concept of giant wheels that accelerate space time. Could we ever able to create gravitational vales and create high ways for Faster then light interstellar travel .
And if any already exist would we be seeing able to see them .
If there any other galaxies would we able to see them
I misread “Sgr A* Black Hole” as “Sgr A**hole”.
Sorry Anton.
Yeap, that makes sense!
Great video as always, Anton! 🖖😊
Are there any other black holes in the 1.5 light year region besides Sgr A*?
Black hole eats everything he sees but good old Red he fled the milky way.
Anton, you are a gem♡
Спасибо большое за контент
Your videos are like a secret happy place I can go to where no one can bother me and I can just relax knowing I’m not just looking at a screen. I’m learning. And your voice is so relaxing. I could listen to you talk about the complexity of anything.
Is there anyone else who has to say “Betelgeuse” three times whenever Anton says it?
Beetlejuice…Beetlejuice…Beetlejuice…
Anton: *uploads*
Me, who lives in Ukraine, 12 pm: 👌🗿
Love the ending!
Love the Sag A vids!
Well the Reds broke up.
The red giants are apparently afraid of black holes.🙂
Everything in the Universe is rushing away from you at ever-increasing speed. . . . Maybe you need some new breath mints?
