    How have you videos not blown up yet? I really enjoy them! You do a great job at making it clear and I always feel really confident after learning from you. I always feel really satisfied after being able to see for myself but I don't think I'll be able to find alpha centauri in the near future

    These stars along with canopus are hard to see where I live.. And I have a special thing with Proxima Centauri since my childhood when I first got to know about it but sadly I think I'll never be able to see it.. Anyway, big thanx to you, hope your channel and videos never gets off the internet ❤️

    Aloha! Nice Vid! Are Alpha and Beta bound gravitationally, or is this just a visual connection? Mahalo!

      @@HiR0SHi.the.D0G Thanks! So in this vid we're referring to Beta Centauri, which is NOT gravitationally bound to Alpha Centauri. Good, because that seemed like quite a long distance for it to be otherwise. Aloha!

    I came to visit my parents in the south hemisphere so it's great to see videos on the stars here! I definitely watched the southern cross one, nice to see also a video about the centauri stars :) Thanks as always for the great content!

    Beta Centauri not to be confused with Alpha Centauri B!I use to live in the southern hemisphere so I know these two stars well.Alpha is near the Sun but Beta is pretty remote 500 light years springs to mind but I might be wrong?As for the south pole there is a star there called Sigma Octantis and under dark skies you can just see it naked eye, it's about as bright as Uranus.

    Alpha Centauri's name is *Rigil Kentaurus*, meaning the foot of the Centaur. Just Like Rigel from Orion.

    I'm very interested in the Arab continuation in astrology.
    Aren't the alternative names not the original ones?

    • @learnthesky
      @learnthesky  2 года назад +1

      yes, many of them are derived from Arabic, which I would consider the original names. But I was surprised at the variety of names for some stars. For example, the star Betelgeuse has all these name designations: Betelgeuse, α Ori, 58 Ori, HR 2061, BD+7°1055, HD 39801, FK5 224, HIP 27989, SAO 113271, GC 7451, CCDM J05552+0724, AAVSO 0549+07.

    Is the magnitude of Alpha Centauri visual magnitude or absolute magnitude? -2.7 is rather bright for a star.

    Questions: Proxima Centauri is only 4.2 light-years away from us. Could the recent giant flare sending out Plasma and a CME reach earth or our sun? Could this make our sun flare? Or did the Galactic Sheet cause Beatleguise and Proxima Centauri to flare? Could the Galactic Sheet make our sun flare next?

    • @RideAcrossTheRiver
      @RideAcrossTheRiver 2 года назад

      Stellar flares are caused by the star's own magnetic field.
