Talking about stars and planets in the night sky. We'll look into the future so I can show you how the sky will look in advance, and if the weather is too cloudy for you in real life, you'll still get to see the sky here!
I will mostly be showing the sky from Ireland, including some Irish language videos, but we will look at the view from other parts of the world as well.

Some Types of Near Earth Objects.
In this video we are taking a look at asteroids yet again, but rather than comparing them with comets, as two types of minor planet or small solar system bodies, we're going to look at some Near Earth Objects. Near Earth Objects are a further subtype of asteroid, which can be broken into more subtypes itself. We'll look at a couple of these subtypes and why they are different.

Upcoming Constellations and How to Spot Them
Переглядів 5114 годин тому
Having looked at planets, meteor showers and some stars in the last video, in this video we are going to take a look at the constellations that are in the sky during October. What constellations you can see will depend a lot how dark your sky is and how familiar you are with the stars. Although light pollution will block out fainter stars, with practice you can still find where constellations s...

Betelgeuse/Beetlejuice

In this video we will be taking a look at Betelgeuse, the big red star in Orion. Many people pronounce Betelgeuse as Beetlejuice, but there are a few other possibilities. With Betelgeuse, many things are a range or estimation, from its distance, to its age, to how long it has left. I'll go through some of this and why in this video.

Planetary Nebulae, Nothing to do with Planets!
Переглядів 58Місяць тому
Planetary Nebulae are a group of particularly nice looking deep sky objects that have nothing to do with planets. Instead, they, along with the proceeding protoplanetary stage, are the remains of a small star similar to our Sun that has reached the end of its life.

For a brief stretch of time this month, no more than an hour or so, the Moon will completely block the planet Saturn from view. Here in Ireland this occultation will last for only half an hour, and in some places it won't be visible at all. In this video we take a look at why and the occultation itself.

Which binocular wss used to see sky in this video?
I go through a couple of different simulated binoculars. The biggest one I simulate is the 25x141 Miyauchi BR-141 Galaxy 45 binoculars, they are a bit old and heavy, modern 25x141 binoculars would be a bit lighter. The smallest one I simulate is also old, a 6x30 Zeiss binoculars. The middle ground I show is a simulation of the 15x50 Canon Image Stabilized All-Weather binoculars, they're a bit more modern as well. Hope this helps!
@@CaoimhinsContent when u use word " SIMULATE" What it means? U mean these images r not directly taken/shown from binocular?
I saw the last one, waiting for the next bright moon and to see the comet. Thanks for the video.
. . Cheers lad . U have to say betetguise 3 times . in the original arabic for a genie to appear! .
I don't know if my Arabic pronounciation would be good enough for a djinn!

Fáilte romhat!
Thanks for this video. I live in Africa, round about Latitude 3 Deg N. So I'll never see this North star from here. Have heard a lot about it, movies, history, music, literature. But nice to see that yes, there is a place one can actually stand and even this simulation to actually show it fixed in place. Today is 22nd Sept 24, Equinox day. I was searching for a video to see if the sun just goes around the North pole all day long. And this one came out. Back home here, our days are pretty much same length all year round. But realistically you might notice the sun rise a maximum average of 30 mins earlier in summer (6:30am) and a max average 30 mins later in winter (7:00am). Been that way for the last 4.5 billion years in this particular latitude.
Wow, that is really close to the equator! The North Star does have great representation, maybe disproportionately so. Really glad that the video came up for you! Living much further north, the long summer days can be nice, but in the winter if you work indoors you might miss the Sun altogether!
. . I liked the easy way to remember the . planets order .. .. "Jupiter sat on. Your anus " Kids would love/remenber that one . and if another planet had been found . beyond Pluto.. it could ave been called . Harp. . . Then u get . . Jupiter Saturn Uranus . while . Nep tuned Pluto's Harp . . Here's hoping Pluto is reclassified as a planet ..and we find .. another planet . . Make my millennium dat wood. .
I'm still holding out hope that something biggish will be discovered out beyond Pluto, whether we call it planet 9 or planet X.
. . Nice one lad . . Have 0.11.2 on old computer ( non internet) . . Used it to view stars that would have been visible from inside Newgrange . . Loads galaxies [ from recall ] and Sirius . back in de day (5300BC ish) were visible . . The reflected lights (in photos) from within the Stone Basins show .. . incredible coherence .. no wobbles or distortions .. . therefore means high precission . . Are they possible optical reflectors ??? . Simple tests include . Slack string test ( level concave focus test) .. forms good focal point . Wet the surface with water ( blow smoke to detect area of focus, how tight(precise) the light is focussed ) . . Or Lidar phone mapping. . . Having an optics degree from '93 . (No longer in the field.) . the photos of light reflected from basins caught my eye . Very engineered . . Ive never been there .. Newgrange . Hate to be inches from the basins . and NOT test them with a string . & Lidar . . And the barbaric way they are being treated with objects being casually put . into them . Fortunately they are made if hard atone . . Anyway, wandered off . Yes, stellarium software is great .
Newgrange is absolutely worth a visit and it's pretty quite if it's not the winter solstice!
What program is that?
It's called Stellarium, I put a link to the website where you can download it in the description of the video. It's free and I absolutely recommend trying it out!
This was really interesting and not the typical rehash of the same facts youtube often recommends. Thank you! Glad I found this channel.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much!
You spelled PLUTO wrong...🤨🥺
Pluto's own video is coming very soon, I'll spell it right then!
They’re 39 planets in our solar system. So… not really the furthest. Why they tell all of us there are only 8 or 9 I have no clue. 🤷♂️
Which extra ones do you count besides the main 9? Just out of curiosity, I've heard 13 but never 39 before.
I'm sorry but if you don't know that Neptune isn't the farthest planet out in our solar system, then I have no interest in watching your video. I'm leaving this comment based on the title alone. Get a clue... dwarf PLANETS are PLANETS. (that's why the word PLANET appears in the phrase "dwarf PLANET", got it?)
In that case, you might like the video I dedicated to dwarf planets!
Pluto will always be #9 to me. The vote to remove it was a sham.
Still the ninth largest object in the solar system at least!
@@CaoimhinsContent Our Moon and Ganymede (one of Jupiter's moons) are actually larger than Pluto and there might be more than I haven't mentioned
Absolutely, I'm pretty sure Titan and a few others as well.
This is what i saw!
can you help me please? i cant go outside at night stargazing, how can i do stargazing using stellarium? you make it look fun, i was thinking of joining an online telescope but cant afford it.
Best thing to do is start by just looking around, you can try the online version before downloading as well. There is a learning curve, it takes a while to get used to zooming and all the side menus for light pollution and stuff, but with practice it will get easier. To really replicate the sky, getting a blow-up planetarium and a fish eye lens projector is probably the best, but that is expensive and takes space. I might make a video about how to use Stellarium at some point, but taking some time to get used to it is the best bet.
Like your videos on deep sky objects … maybe you could look at double stars or carbon stars? Thanks
yeah visible and spectroscopic double stars are interesting
I actually made a video about double stars about a year ago! You can find it by going back in my channel, though I may make another video about them. Carbon stars would be trickier to show in stellarium, but I have plans for how to deal with topics like that.

Events I know on September (edit:2024): September 8: Saturn at opposition September 19: Neptune at opposition September 27: C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) comet at its closest point to the sun (visible until early October)
The look ahead to September should be up next week!
I don't care... Pluto is the 9 and most distant planet.
A lot of people share your opinion, and I will be giving Pluto it's own whole video as well
Wrong, there are a number of other named planets beyond Pluto/Charon, including Eris, Haumea and Makemake, at least one of which is determined to be larger than Pluto.
<3 you are a gem
im absolutely loving these mate, fancy doing one on pluto?
Absolutely, Pluto is going to have its own video at some stage next month!
Hi I'm Ash and I'm just wandering can I use stellarium in the evening instead of going outside to stargaze? I'm disabled and use a wheelchair and it's always cloudy at night here and the cold weather affects my disability. So, I was just thinking I want to stargazr but don't want to break the bank by joining online telescopes.
It won't be the exact same as the real sky, but it is close, and it will give you the chance to see what's up on a given night. I use it a lot because it's so often cloudy in Ireland, and it's completely free and runs on anything so it's a great option if the real sky isn't!
You would think, it’d be Uranus.
wow thanks man this was fantastic, such a weird moon orbit
Glad you enjoyed it, so much about the ice giants is weird
F you! Pluto is gonna make a comeback!!!!
Great video
Tragic how the twin Venus mission was chosen over the Triton mission
I might have to agree, we know so little about the outer parts of the solar system, Venus has had visitors before, it shouldn't get all the glory
Pluto !!! ?
👍
Never forget Pluto.
rip
keep up the good work Caoimhin , can you do a video on planetary nebula objects 👍
Thank you, and absolutely I can, I'll try get it in at some stage this month!
Nice. Also Venus is now an evening star (meaning it's visible during/after sunset)
Great, I'll have to mention it in a future video!
another great video :D :D
So... When are you going to do a look ahead on August?
Tomorrow, the 25th of July, the video should be up at 6pm UTC, glad to know people are waiting for it!
as usual it's a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up the good work and greetings from Romania 😄
Thank you so much, I will do my best! Great to add another country to the list of places where I have viewers.
Nicely done lad
What a great video to watch while doodling 😊 keep up the great work bud
Good to hear, and it's nice to know some amazing art is being made with my videos in the background, you keep it up as well!
Hello: Can you make a video about the Planetary alignment of 6 Planets (Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn). What will be seen from September 4 to September 12? I love your content so much and that's why I Like and Share it. Can't wait to see the Perseids :) greeting from Spain❤️❤️❤️
I'm sure I will, probably sometime in late August, thank you for the suggestion! I'm really glad that you are enjoying my content, muchos gracias!
@@CaoimhinsContent I have several ideas for your content: For example : -How to find the Nova T Corona Borealis. - How to see Comet Atlas (October 2024). - The partial lunar eclipse (September 2024). - How to observe the double Perseus Cluster, the Hyades and the Pleiades with Binoculars. - The Occultation of the Planet Saturn by the Moon (August 2024). Etc Etc etc But I don't want you to be angry with me. I hadn't found content like this for years and I was tired of finding photos of the events and not videos on the Internet. And that is why it has been a pleasure to find a channel like this. Best regards and thank you for answering me.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, those are great ideas! I have a video on the upcoming Corona Borealis Nova up already if you take a look back at my previous videos, but I will absolutely be making another around the time it happens. Best regards, and thank you for commenting!
Thank you very much for this video! It was very, very useful!

Nice one lad
Cool dude now I know what to look at with my telescope
Great, glad I could help
It is amazing the change in appearance that travelling north or south makes in the night sky. Great video.
I couldn't agree more, glad you enjoyed it!
Please , please, PLEASE learn and understand that the DARK side of the moon and the FAR side of the moon ARE NOT THE SAME THING. When we see the moon from new to first quarter, this means that the FAR side of the moon id LIT UP - the DARK side would be facing us.
Absolutely, calling the Far Side of the Moon the "Dark Side" is a regrettable misnomer, that's why the thumbnail is the Far Side fully lit up, as it is every month during the New Moon.
Great info. I did miss my opportunity to image this one. I am interested to see how C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas looks later this fall.
Thank you, and commiserations, I'll hopefully be able to put together a video on C/2023 A3 as well when it's time so stay tuned!
Hey your videos are REALLY good and informative. I hope your channel grows for you because you deserve a lot more views. Keep going mate - you’re good 👍.
Thank you so much, I really hope the channel grows as well!
Greetings from Romania. Your videos are interesting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, I will.
