Orion Returns!

The winter constellation of Orion returns to our night skies, along with the easily recognisable belt stars and the stunning Orion nebula.

Evening Stephen, the plieades got me into astronomy as a little kid, fascinated me seeing a group of stars. Also Orion, mates used to take the Mick but soon stopped when they saw how into it I was. When we were out they couldn't believe I knew each bright star, I used to say learn the constellations first then you'll know the main stars. Thanks for that Stephen, cheers.

Thanks for watching Steven.

Hi Stephen. My back garden faces due south and apart from the A55 dual carriageway ( Which is hidden by a hedge at the bottom of the garden) it's all open fields so I get a really good view of Orion. Scottish Power switched off the electric supply to my street the other night to do some work and even though the rest of the village remained lit up, it was amazing how much darker the sky looked. Orion was over in the south east at the time. I Really like the picture you took of Orion at Glencoe, it doesn't look too warm though.

[@starman1969]

We could do with a countrywide power cut, so we can all see the stars just like they did in the olden days. Knowing our weather, it'll probably be cloudy at the time.

I'm not a astronomer but fascinated by the night sky & I regularly walk home from work @ around 3'00 am & the past week the skies have been a heaven ( pardon the pun 😅 ) for stargazing..for the untrained eye I ain't got a clue what I'm looking at apart from dipper...

[@starman1969]

Thanks Martin. Hopefully you can learn a few more stars from watching my videos.
