This is one of those special constellations that is difficult for viewers to see. Perhaps modern man is bombarded with so much visual content that describing a pair of greyhounds by just observing an eye in each of them is not intuitive. It makes me wonder how did the original person discern this constellation, and even more amazing, convince other people that it was representing a pair of dogs. From the list of really great objects I would like to see, M3 is probably in the top 10. I really enjoy your videos; keep up the great work.
Fantastic video, I didn´t know anything about Canes Venatici constellation, this constellation is one of the most interesting because we can see several objects such as galaxies, globular clusters, voids, etcetera.
I find your videos very easy to absorb and remember. I have actually learned more from your videos than any other and that includes books PS you should show photos of the galaxies etc taken with amateur telescopes and not the Hubble. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I should add more realistic views of what galaxies would look like without the super magnification of the Hubble. I can't help it...I just love those photos!!!
M106 looks like a galaxy collision's final stages? Could be, but I'm not astronomer and so wouldn't know reasons why it would not be an old collision. I was looking at M3 just last night, simply just wandering down from Bootes. I went, "What have we here?" Looked around and figured out I was near Canes Venatici on my planisphere, I had my 6" at 30x wide view and the cluster was obvious and I switched to wide angle Barlow 50x and it looked great. Any greater power and it was just pretty much the center.
Amazing video, small question: Do the Andromeda and Pegasus constellations share a star or any celestial objects?? Or maybe it's just me because those two constellations are right next to each other...
Good point. What's more, the pronunciation doesn't really depend on where you are located (Canada, Australia, etc). It's just that in most other languages people rarely use Latin names. However, we use them in English as the main names for constellations. Yes, the correct pronunciation is /ˈkā-ˌneez-və-ˈna-tə-ˌsī/ It's certainly not chee at the end. It's not ecclesiastical Latin!
How in heck is a person suppose to see and understand this . Should i get scared, should i be intreiged? Im afraid to think this stuff because i don't understand . That im on a planet and beyond is infinity. Someone tell me how you compute this stuff so i can get a better understand.

I've experienced this before. I saw the Big Dipper and I found another bright star. Thanks for the clue, Janine! ❤️
I would just like to say Thank You !
No doubt you have a great love for this and for the education of others .
Thank you! This is awesome!

awesome!! well explained..........Some of these Galaxies are so many million to billion light years away.......!! ..
I haven't had your videos recommended in a while but they just came up today. ^_^ Very fun! With the weather warming up, I'll try to keep an eye out.
Thank you Janine for this wonderful video.

Wow I love your channel! It's like a miniseries on all the constellations. Good place to start for anyone who's into backyard astronomy
Please explain the southern constellations too! Your explanations are one of the best.
This is beautiful
The constellation of La Superba, TON 618, and the Whirlpool Galaxy! It's a small constellation but an interesting one for sure.
This was a good one! Thank you

Yes, Andromeda and Pegasus share a star. Other than that one star, they do not share anything else.
My favirote black hole ton 618 is in the constellation of canes venatici. I like ton 618 black hole.😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ton 618 black hole is in the there.
The correct pronunciation is /ˈkā-ˌneez-və-ˈna-tə-ˌsī/
Canis Venatici indeed have a plethora of pronunciations.
Cay-neez va-nat-i-sigh.

❤️👍
Looks like Canis Minors Twin.
Or you can also pronounce the "I" at the end of "ventici" long and the c pronounce it soft.
I wish I had your brain for astronomy
on my shoulders. I found a superior star gazing mountain to pick your brain 99.9% light pollution free.

You said Bow-tez. It's Boh-oh-tis.
