Nice video. If you ever do this subject again You might like to note that the outward projection of the Earth's Equator runs very close to the star Mintaka, and if you do that; the noting of the equinox, and the center of the Milky Way might be the thing.
Thanks for the comment! :) I knew about Mintaka's position (a tidbit I actually learned in high school), but there's SOOOooooo much to talk about in these videos-I always have to decide what's most important, and what (sadly) should be left out.
Good vidro. Sorry I have to point out the names of the star and how to pronounce them. Bayt-al-guys - house of the twins , in Arabic. Not betel juice. Sayeef (king), rajool -feet. Al neetak, Al neelam, mintaka. All names in arabic. TQ.
Hi Bella, thanks for your input... Let's be careful with claiming the "right" pronounciation(s) of star names (or anything else). Leaving Arabic origins aside for just a moment, consider the way different Americans say the English word, "creek." Where I come from, it's said with a long "E," so it would appear phonetically more or less as written-but I know folks from other parts of the country that say, "crick." They are not wrong! Similarly, the pronunciation for the city of "Los Angeles" is clearly altered from its original Spanish, in which the Spanish "g" would sound more like an English "h" than an English "j"... Californians don't roll their "Rs" when they say "Sierra Nevada," and the vowels are different, too. And so forth. In short, star names work the same way, and I'm sticking with the pronunciation used by (American) English speakers, especially since many of the names are not direct translations from Arabic; more like names that evolved from it across the centuries. (Ok, just for fun, consider this-it's not just star names that have this issue in astronomy. There's the Maksutov telescope, which I've always heard in the US as "MAK-su-tov"-that is, until I heard some well-respected Russian optical designers mention his name: "Mak-SU-tof.") Cheers! :)

Yes, it is something of interest that no one talks about.
Outstanding as usual!
Thanks Tony! :)
