If you’ve been to high school you can start the video at eight minutes.
What if it’s been a few years
Thx
Thanks
If I do that, I won’t have enough time to finish pooping.
Shucks, I've met hundreds of people, high school graduates, who swear up and down that the Pleiades is the Little Dipper.
All of these stars have been around for billions of years acting normally. But by a strange coincidence they have all started misbehaving at the same time as You Tube surfaced.
Guess we've come a long way after proving we aren't the center of the universe and the Earth isn't flat. Minus the nut jobs, of course.
Just like climate change. A natural behavior for billion of years until about 40 years ago when it became not normal. Right... :)
Yes you are right. profit at any cost . I also see a huge amount of utter garbage on you tube now, so much so I would be very interested in finding a video site where there is NO junk allowed!!!!
Haven't you heard? When the stars are right the great Cthulhu awakens and drives mankind to madness. And you have to admit, social media is a pretty solid opening.

Polaris provides much more than a marker of true north. Its location almost directly overhead the north pole also provides the ability to establish latitude. For example, if you observe Polaris at an altitude of 90 degrees above the horizon (directly overhead), you are at latitude 90 degrees north and you are at the north pole. If you observe Polaris at an altitude of 28.21 degrees, you are at latitude 28.21 degrees north, the latitude of Midway. Which would be incredibly useful to know if you were sailing across the Pacific and intended to land at Midway because you needed more fuel, water and food and would die without them! Mariners knew and exploited the utility of Polaris for centuries. Fixing your latitude in the northern hemisphere is ridiculously simple: all you need is a plumb bob, a protractor, and a clear night sky! Unfortunately, establishing longitude was far more difficult due to its dependence on accurate time keeping. The need for which drove the development of ever more accurate clocks. But that's a different story! Cheers!
Nice! 🙏
And the Man that perfected the sea-going Clock wasn't paid his $50,000 Pound reward. Cheap bastards !!
@@peterdarr383Figures!
Yeah, I don't think they trust the north star very much these days. Our wobble is far and fast. Can't define north.
I have known how to find Polaris since I was 8 because, back then (1960), we had no social media but we DID have public libraries.
I've always know about it since I was a kid (im a 2010 kid)and I've always liked reading and I never was allowed on social media until I was 8-9 even then I never rally used it but space as always fascinated me I still read a lot of books about it to this day😁👍
And encyclopedias.😄
I was doing that to. I got in trouble because instead of being in a classroom I was reading the sciences at the library
Have fun finding it now.
2 min video was stretched to 13 min 🤷🏼♂️

It truly seems that the more impossible something seems, sooner or later, it turns out to be possible.
Nothing is impossible
Said the married Batchelor.
Yes the universe somehow brought us here and by the same token the universe will wipe us out. It would seem the universe has a very basic law and that is everything has a beginning, a middle and a end, everything.
We live inside a flowers trees
Thanks again.
Very good info👌👍
Great video again! Very captivating
"The more we learn about the cosmos the less we understand" Truer word have not been spoken, more or less. Thank you for the nice video and graphics, Ken.
The more we learn the more we learn. Learning also means removing false learning.
Semantic i guess
Curious how we build a house of cards on a castle of sand and insist all is durable until a wave comes. Even then many will have an alternative theory of support
I'm well "north" of a half-century old. For me, it's been "the more I learn, the better I understand how much I _DON'T_ know." It seems safe (to me) to assume that the same is true for civilization in general, whether we admit it or not. 🖖
@@markcoleman9892yes, Socrates (according to Plato) said something quite similar...many variations of "I only know that I know nothing."
@ladyscholar3421 In my head, the picture is of a Sisyphian struggle to the top of the mountain, only to look out upon a sea of mountaintops, stretching beyond the limits of eyesight... 😍 🖖
thanks very interesting
This is so awesome 😎😎
Interesting...🤔.. I'll subscribe and see how it goes..
Has anyone considered that the reversal of Polaris’ pulsation rate could be caused by an interaction with the galactic magnetic sheet, which is currently undergoing a reversal in our galactic neighborhood? Just a thought. . .
did u just shat your pants?
... what?
Omg are a big dummy it’s global warming 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@adreiiaii510 he shat his pants
Of course. That’s obvious.
Can't wait for Vega -- it's much brighter than Polaris! ...... What's that? Nonsense! I'm going to live forever...
Sure, what's a few millennia? 🤣
Vega is among the 10 brightest
Agreed! 'Death' is for losers!
Is there a southern equivalent near the pole that appears to be reliably static?
I typically use the Southern Cross.
Is there a planetary system around Polaris ? Or Polaris A and AB?
I've not even watched this and I can tell you it's moved. I look at my compass daily and I can say our magnetic north has moved over 10 degrees in the last 3 months
Not even a joke now. Pole flip is in motion right now.
Could our atmospheric density or whatever effect the observation?
Polaris was always faint from the south of the UK where I live, thanks to LIGHT POLLUTION
The bowl & handle of the Little Dipper asterism is not always left of Polaris. That's kind of a bizarre suggestion to look for it left of Polaris to find the Little Dipper.
Is that Dominic Keating narrating??😂 Lovex3 ENTERPRISE!!!!🎉🎉😘
Excellent video.
Little problem... The audio is somewhat distorted, the narrating voice seem to be hissing in some parts of the video...
When finding Polaris, you’re able to triangulate it by adding Cassiopeia in that way you mentioned by using the Pointer Stars of the Big Dipper. Use the middle three stars of Cassiopeia, but using the natural curve of that line. With that, & the Big Dipper Pointer Stars, you can always find north. Or, at least have a good idea when there is heavy cloud coverage. This also helps when there is only one of the three that are visible.
My introduction to the North Star was Muppets Treasure Island
"Destiny" states that Cepheid variable stars, like our North Star have their distances from Earth precisely calculated using the 'Stellar Evolution Model.' On the other hand, because of the variable nature of Polaris, the distance can not be measured precisely. Perhaps "Destiny" forgot the North Star & Polaris are the exact same star.
Amazing as usual 🥰
Yeah, I'm not so confident they can tell what stage of life they are in . Seems like they need to change what happens out there often.
You mentioned that the north star can be seen on the equator. At the equator can we see the north star AND the southern cross at the same time? I don't know a whole lot about astronomy and I am eager to lear.
What is the South Star?
There is not one
@user-hn2fp9cw7p There is that Southern Cross. Look it up. You can determine the South Celestial pole with that.
Try wikipedia. That's a good basic place to start.
A beating, magnetic stellar heart.
So what exactly is the strange thing happening?
nothing strange, just that Polaris, from our perspective is slowly moving away from the celestial north pole. it has not been there forever, and it will not remain there forever, at some point in time our north star will be a different star in a different constellation.
It’s right above me here in Northwestern Ontario Canada. The big diper is right out my window
I don't know if it's due to the fact that I watch similar channels with better content or what, but this video felt severely lacking, especially of any energy, and was far harder to sit through than it should have been. I have no trouble at all sitting through 30-40 minute long videos done by other channels -- containing the same content and information -- without any issues or urges to watch something else. Regardless, this was a two minute video stretched out to 13 minutes that somehow managed to fall short despite being the type of content I find the most intriguing to watch.
do you have any channel recommendation? I'm always on the hunt for good (astro)physics channels!
Couldn’t agree with you more, I didn’t even make two minutes. Thumbs down.
It's because of using a computer generated text to voice program. You're listening to a robot.
First-rate as always, but I also appreciated the perfect little lesson to find the north star, as I've been meaning to learn them slowly/casually on my own. So that's Polaris and the big and little dippers and, on my own, Orion with its Betelgeuse, so far.
Thanks, Destiny.
Polaris is part and parcel for amateur-astronomers on the Northern Hemisphere to get their telescope properly aligned. Modern systems seem to take that effort more and more out of the user's hands through software-aided instruments, but I simply like the old-fashioned method of doing it myself.
My telescope-mounts have a small auxiliary telescope tube inside of them. I first need to ensure that this small tube is properly aligned to the mount's axes. When preparing a nightly session, I first need to learn the time at which Polaris will cross his transit. I can look this up from some public online sites, e.g., Stellarium.
My auxiliary scope reveals a reticle that contains a circle, like a clock dial. When I peek through it, I see that reticle and the dial against the background of the night sky. Knowing at which time Polaris crosses his transit, tells me where I have to expect Polaris' relative position on the reticle. It's like a celestial clock, where Polaris is at the end of the small hand, so to say. The actual Northern Celestial Pole (NCP) is not on the same position as Polaris, but in the center of the dial (it changes slightly and gradually from year to year, but the dial tries to show that too).
Like all celestial bodies, Polaris travels around that NCP during a day, in which the Earth rotates around its axis. So, I align my telescope mount in such a way, that I will perceive Polaris on the reticle's dial circle, exactly where it is supposed to be, knowing where it was when it crossed the 12 o'clock position on the dial. If I'm preparing my setup, let's say, 8 hours after that transit time, I know that Polaris has to appear on the dial at 2 o'clock.
Why 2 o'clock? Because the small auxiliary scope represents the image upside-down, as every refractor does. So, 12 o'clock appears as 6 o'clock to me, when I'm looking at the reticle. Then I calculate: 8 hours after this 6 o'clock position on the dial equals 2 o'clock on the dial. That's where I want to see Polaris, so I tweak the mount's knobs so as to make this happen.
When I do this precisely, this kind of alignment is pretty good, allowing for long exposures that do not show any star trailing, due to the Earth's rotation.
By the way, the reason as to why I subtract 4 hours (half of 8 hours) from the 6 o'clock position in a counter-clockwise rotation, is because that is the direction in which celestial bodies seem to rotate around the NCP. And it's 4 hours instead of 8, because the imaginary clock-dial represents 12 hours, whereas a day lasts 24 hours. So, a time difference of 8 hours is represented by half of this amount of time on a dial.
This all may sound very complicated if you hear it for the first time, but once you get used to the astronomical basics, it all makes perfectly sense and it stops being difficult entirely.
*I can never find the North Star.*
According to the theories in the book, Time Waves on the Shores of Forever, this is caused by the companion stars, which are more massive than they appear. When they approach Polaris A, it causes it to dim because of gravitational ressonance, which shrinks stars..
This is one of the most comical videos that I've seen regarding stars. You FINALLY made a statement that was true when you announced that you don't know how large Polaris is, or how far away it is. As for everything else you have said......(BUZZER) ! Wrong !
How does this procession affect temperature here on Earth?
Assuming that our planet's axial inclination remains roughly the same and excluding other factors, I would think the effect would be minute at worst. However, the solstices and equinoxes would slowly shift in relation to our calendar.
Not at all.
Is this the Narrator of the Kurzgesagt YT channel?
It’s called the ranger, Polaris makes them, usefull and fun to drive 👍
This is one of the.most major player in the universe. 🌠
The big dipper is an asterisim not a constellation. It's part of Ursa Major.
constellation can also be used generically as "a particular grouping of stars"
@Icriedtoday There are 88 official constellations, the big dipper is not one of them.
Thanks. A lot. Well, ok: not really.
@josepheaton3779 The big dipper, Great bear or Ursa Major is the largest Constellation in the northern hemisphere.
Mr. Bear won't be happy!!
@kevin-qm6gb The Big Dipper is an asterisim, Ursa Major, includes several more stars giving it an chest and head that the big dipper doesn't have. You can research this on many websites or in a library in a book. Muscida, also known as Omicron Ursae Majoris is the nose of the bear, but not part of the big dipper.
How do you know by watching it twinkle..😅

Mr. Spock: Fascinating...
Aloha hugs 🤗 could it be Kolob
What about a planet could there be one around it
Now that I think about it, I have seen stars in years. Living in a big city sucks.
First Betelgeuse. Now Polaris. Can’t we depend on anybody?
😂❤
We have no idea what we are seeing or talking about. It’s just all talk for money
So if we are spinning at an insane amount why. are the stars in the same place every night and have been for as long as they have been charting them?
I know very little about stars and found this interesting...but it reminded me of something I saw in the sky early last summer and now I wonder if it could be related (though I doubt it). From where I stood looking at the big dipper, a light appeared for what I estimate as close to two seconds, in the middle of second to last and last stars of the dipper handle. It was as if someone switched on then off a distant light bulb. At its brightest, it was like Venus in the middle of the big dipper. It grew then faded quickly, not like an explosion or flash. Anybody have ideas?

Strange that we’ve heard nothing from the countless thousands of professional astronomers around the planet.

We do not know what is happening to the Pole Star now. The Polar Star is 323 light years away, so the light we see today left the star in 1701.

Our solar system is slowly moving towards Vega. So in about 13,000 years Earth will be travelling through the galaxy north pole first.

The Earth's physical structure is behind all this magnetic shifting. The planet's inner core is made of solid iron. Surrounding the inner core is a molten outer core of liquid iron. The next layer out, the mantle, is solid but malleable, like plastic. Finally, the layer we see every day is called the crust. These changes might also cause polarity reversals. Irregularities where the core and mantle meet and changes to the Earth's crust, like large earthquakes, can also change the magnetic field.
The magnetic North Pole is responsible for more than just the direction a compass points. It's also the source of the aurora borealis, the dramatic lights that appear when solar radiation bounces off the Earth's magnetic field.
This happens at the South Pole as well. In the southern hemisphere, the lights are called the aurora australis.
If there is something strange going on. Call the Ghost Busters!!
I see it ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❓ Theses are Fresh images from Space Right …?
They seem to be. I’ve always gazed at the North Star. Sometimes I think my father who passed in 1985 is living another life on a planet around one of the Polaris stars.
It’s the galactic sheet.
400 light years away, we are watching "history"
If Polaris is a "tumbling egg" shape, it would explain a lot.
Uhm. It seems a trouble. Could I do anything?

Discovers Polaris in 1911? I’m pretty sure someone found it before then.
🌟 The esiest way to find Polaris is by using a compass. Face North, the brightest star is him. To verify, your brightest star must be the last star on the handle of the small dipper. w/out a compass, find the big dipper use it's pointer stars as instructed by Destiny, the first bright star on it's line of sight will be Polaris, being the last on small dipper's handle, confirms his identity.
