Sometimes 360 video is annoying because there really isn't 360 degree content, the user just decided to shoot it in 360 degrees. This is one of the best applications of 360 degree video!
I have seen some 3D videos, but this one uses the format very nicely for the topic. One major issue is that the compression artifacts are really annoying, even at the largest resolution, but that's a direct consequence of trying to display the night sky with all of those stars and randomness. Thanks for doing this video and sharing it!
I've known of all these constellations and stars for most of my life, but I never get tired of seeing them. I love the mythology behind them that you added, great job.
I just wanted to say I was shocked that a video with so few views was this good. You felt very professional on your presenting and took full advantage of the 360 filming. The only downside is it was so short, it would be great if it were an hour long and did all of the constellations. I genuinely wish there were more people like you in education, kids would learn much faster as this was much easier to understand. Something that requires graphical interaction like this shouldn’t be taught in a textbook!!
At 4:08 when Deneb is mentioned, the Arabic font is not correctly connected. This rendering issue is actually very common. There are also some other points where the Arabic text is not properly shown but it doesn't detract too much from this otherwise well made guide. Edit: fixed spelling
Yes - we discovered upon publishing that the text editing tool in our video software had messed up the Arabic!

I am in AWE, I never knew there were interactive videos on youtube... and what a great video ... with the song from « La Traviata » of Verdi, and the Zeffirelli’s movie that deeply marked my childhood !! This was amazing Thank you !!
This video is great! One of the best about about the stars I have seen so far. Great simple realistic and good to remember demonstration! Congratulations and keep going! Since ever we marvel at the stars and the more we discover the more we marvel. Incredible.
Great, high quality video! I learned a lot about the constellations. I especially loved the arrows that led us around, and how you took advantage of the 360 degree view! I can't wait to study the stars!
This is the best constellation finding vid I've seen! If I ever get out of the city I'm definitely gonna try and find some of these! Thank you Skunk Bear!
I'm well familiar with the winter sky, thanks to my bygone morning paper route as I jammed my hands under my arms and impatiently watched Orion march across; but I never got my bearings on the summer skies. Tanks for this 360 presentation.
There are No enough words to appreciate this video Creative beautiful magical Shall I say its the best 360 video I have ever saw ? I guess! Thanks again Subscribed and shared.
Thanks for the video! I was trying to learn more about the great rift surrounding the galactic Center & it’s interesting that this area is at the scorpius & Centaurus on the Sagittarius constellation at the north while you find andromeda, Aquarius Pisces to the south ! it’s said that the North Pole is always gravitationally pulled towards the galactic Center. Very curious!
I know where the little dipper (ursa minor) is in the night sky, but from my location, (south west oklahoma) the little dipper is hardly visible. In fact, my mother has been living here for 5 years and has never once seen the little dipper in full, and believed it was further north or south of our location. Using a starchart app, that utilizes the 360 motion, (star tracker) and some other helpful constellation charts, I found ursa minor by using ursa major. But most of the constellation is too faded to even see. ( : . ) That's all we can see of it.

First reply yey
nice job on the 3d layout. i memorized the whole sky as published amateur astromomer.
@@wxslzy look south in summer for it, early pm
Amazing video thank you! Liked, subbed and shared on the 360 videos page on our site :)
Egypt been mapped out the universe
Wow the first time I've seen a 360 video being done to its full potential. Thank you!!
like a planetarium
Me too
This was an amazing video. I thought that it being 360º would ruin the experience, but it actually enhanced it extremely.
I was lost half time.

I'm blown away by your production value! This is the first 360 video I've watched that wasn't irritating and thrown together lol.
Wow, Skunkbear does the first 360 video that doesn't look like it was shot with a potato and it served a purpose!
I am learning the constellation but I didn't know where to look at in the skies. That's really helpful.
theres aps for that
what a video brother... 6 years ago. and am still here in 2024 to clear my doubt on a project

This is the best experience I have had on UA-cam in a while. This video should have more views
This is one of the best videos i've seen on youtube. Please do more on the topic of constellations.

I remember the summer of 1983 when I did this, a complete orientation to the summer sky and learned all the constellations. It was a wonderful time.
This is the best-looking, most well-made 360° vid I've ever seen. Proof that good content is driven by good purpose. Bloody brilliant!
Honestly this is the best, most magical UA-cam video I have ever come across, thank you for this. I love npr!
This was truly great guys, hope you keep up the great work!
This is an amazing video! Felt like I was watching UA-cam like never before
I am in AWE, I never knew there were interactive videos on youtube... and what a great video ... with the song from « La Traviata » of Verdi, and the Zeffirelli’s movie that deeply marked my childhood !! This was amazing Thank you !!
The app Skymap is very nice to learn to differentiate those constellations. Here in the South Hemisphere the principals constellations are others.
Wonderful upload - especially the 360 degree format. Well done indeed, thank you.
This needs to go viral this is awesome!
This is a great video Skunk Bear. Good work. :D
Alright, I'm subbing just for the immense care and time that had to have sunk into this video. You've earned my support
Amazing video. Have never seen 360 video actually making sense before
The video is very good! You deserve more attention.
PS.
I can't find the link to the printable version of the sky you stated at the end :)
You got here so quick! Here it is: media.npr.org/assets/img/2018/06/25/NPR_Star_Guide.pdf

This video is amazing. You deserve so much more views.
Great, high quality video! I learned a lot about the constellations. I especially loved the arrows that led us around, and how you took advantage of the 360 degree view! I can't wait to study the stars!
I really enjoyed the way the 360º video was used.
This is the best constellation finding vid I've seen! If I ever get out of the city I'm definitely gonna try and find some of these! Thank you Skunk Bear!
Get at least three hours drive out of the city and look up at the sky. You can thank me later.
Fascinating stuff. The videos you guys made are always so high in quality and knowledge
Really perplexing video interaction, but half the time I was lost.
PLEASE make videos for the rest of the seasons. My students loved this video and asked if there was one for fall or winter. I'd love it too.
This one of the best videos I've ever seen in my life. Good job, ypu guys rocks!!
That was amazing! What an incredible tool for learning with. Thank you so much for making that!
Brilliant!! First time on a 360 degree video - Amazing!
Such a great video. The way you have explained it all is amazing.
I'm well familiar with the winter sky, thanks to my bygone morning paper route as I jammed my hands under my arms and impatiently watched Orion march across; but I never got my bearings on the summer skies. Tanks for this 360 presentation.
First 360 video I enjoyed
This is the best video i have ever seen thank you for making it it seems like it took forever but extremely worth it
