Thanks Janine, this was the best explanation I've seen!👍👍 Will you be able to see the eclipse where you are? Weather's not looking good here in New England, hoping we can find a clear spot somewhere! 🤞🤞😎😎
This is how you learn the sky…NOT GOTO! I get it though - if GOTO gets more ppl involved in astronomy and outside with their telescopes looking up, but…
I spotted Mercury on 2 evenings last week in the dusk.Used my Helios 2x40 wide field binoculars to find it.After it got a bit darker i could just detect it naked eye.Technically Uranus is after Mercury as dimest as it is just naked eye although so dim it wasn't known to the ancients.
2:56 I don't think the Big Dipper is drawn correctly. It looks off. The sloped line between Megrez (δ UMa) and Phecda (γ UMa) should be away from the handle, not towards it (angle should not be acute). EDIT: Nvm, the picture is probably distorted. The horizon is bent concave lol.

Very nice. Get these kids educated and looking to the sky.
Thanks so much for providing this wonderful information.
Very helpful video
Red nail polish. I never would have thought of that
So once we get RA and Dec, how to apply those facts in the field? How to know where in the sky to look?
Hi Janine, Informative video's! Do you have a video that discusses distances and aspects of the different objects in the sky?
I don't have a video on stellar distances. It can be a tough topic to break down. I can add it to the list.
Can you do a video on the Puppis, Vela & Carina constellations? They were listed by Ptolemy as one big constellation called Argo Navis.. Thanks
I am working on acquiring pictures of those constellations. It is quite a challenge to find pictures of constellations in the southern hemisphere
fantastic thnx

damn thank you so much!!!
Interesting.
But constellations aren't really patterns of stars but regions of the sky right?
Yes, you are correct. A constellation is really a region of the sky, not just a pattern.
@@learnthesky Thank you, love the channel! ❤
