Wow, this video is outstanding! Thank you very much for taking the time to show and explain with both Stellarium and the arrows on the textbook image. I can’t wait to share my new knowledge and solidify my learning!
Great video with an explanation that makes sense to me. I purchased Stellarium last year after trying just about every other stargazing app and I use it almost every single day. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this video! I wonder if the fact that the horizon has been curved in these images might generate some kind of deviation in the ecliptic projection, when compared to the projection that we actually see on the sky (straight horizon). In any case, very interesting
Hi this may be a bit of a dumb question I am new to Stellarium how do you use ecliptic longitudes? I was looking for the moon's passage through the Zodiacs on Feb 20 2022 and Stellarium showed the Moon placed on Virgo even though all moon calendars that I looked at had the Moon placed on Libra was I doing something wrong?
Hence the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic "The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line."
Clearest explanation I've found on this. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best description of ecliptic and celestial equator and how we perceive the motion of the stars that I have seen
Thanks!
Excellent narration coinciding with the movement. No doubt you are a teacher and a good one. Thank you.
thanks for your comment!

This was very informative and your explanation cleared up a few things I've been questioning. Very well done!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. It's frustrating how few people explain the ecliptic from the perspective of the night sky!
I am glad you liked it!
Found by accident. Terrific! Thank you.
Thank you for that. I am in astrophysics and this really helped me. Watch and learn!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this beautiful video 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff! Truly astronomical!!

Thank you. I had an assignment on this from my astronomy camp. It really helped me grasp the concept.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanation. Thank you
You are welcome!

I have a good technique. Just visualize the earth as not tilted but the orbital plane as tilted 23.4 degrees. It makes it much easier to quickly see.
Too good ! Cannot thank you enough.
Glad you liked it!
AMAZING VIDEO!!! 🙌🙏
thanks!
Well explained 🙂👍

Pleiades is near the ecliptic
Hence the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic "The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line."
omg best video about the ecliptic, totally different from the pseudo educative videos, thanks
Thanks for your encouragement!
