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.

Hello, Janine...u r my first teacher for building d stargazing habits within me. Respect from a student from kolkata, India, to his teacher.
I'm glad I can help. Thank you for your support.
Very nice. Get these kids educated and looking to the sky.
Lots of good beginner info in one video. Takes me back to when I first started out. Cheers!

Red nail polish. I never would have thought of that
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.
damn thank you so much!!!
Interesting.
So once we get RA and Dec, how to apply those facts in the field? How to know where in the sky to look?

感谢你的分享！作为一名初学者，我从你的视频里学到了很多有趣的天文知识😀
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
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.
