Thank you for the explanation… it will be easier to find the Cygnus constellation using Vega as my starting point. Albireo one blue eye, one yellow eye… love it!!!🐈
Thank you for the video on Denab. It is very informative. I have come from India to San jose, USA couple of weeks back. I have been watching sky every night here and it is excellent time to watch Denab, and the triangle. Now with mobile apps it is easy to identify stars and constillations in the sky. And your videos give many other informations required to observe, study and enjoy night sky viewing.😊
You are an exceptionally clever young lady and I am very grateful for all I am learning from this excellent channel of yours.im gonna do what you said and start at Orion and spread out from there!
I just recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos! I thought perhaps you might find something interesting. The progressive rock band Rush has a song called "Cygnus X-1" on their1977 album "A Farewell to Kings". It is actually part one of a story, with part two occurring on their next 1978 album "Hemispheres". Part 1 basically occurs towards the end of part two. Part two (Hemispheres) is a sort of mythological description of man's battle between the heart and mind, the Apollo/Dionysus duality. Well, frustrated and lost in this unresolvable conflict, humanity decides to send forth an explorer to find the gods and the answers. Hemispheres brings us up to the point where the explorer sets out on a starship called "The Rosinante". The idea is that the explorer will attempt to reach the gods by way of the black hole of Cygnus X-1. Now the song Cygnus X-1 is about that particular journey. Its like one of those movies that opens with some huge climactic cliffhanger scene, only to take you back to the events leading up to it, and then show you the outcome. The later song Hemispheres is like the backstory and the conclusion, whereas the earlier song Cygnus X-1 is the cliffhanger. Sorry for the long winded intro, but here are the lyrics of Cygnus X-1 (the whole point here is it talks about the constellation of Cygnus and the star Deneb): "In the constellation of Cygnus There lurks a mysterious, invisible force The black hole of Cygnus X-1 Six stars of the Northern Cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night" [Part I 05:01-05:45] Invisible to telescopic eye Infinity, the star that would not die All who dare to cross her course Are swallowed by a fearsome force Through the void, to be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized - at the core Or through the astral door To soar... [Part II 05:45-07:15] I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the 'Rocinante' Wheeling through the galaxies Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery The X-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the black hole Gains control [Guitar Solo] [Part III 07:15-10:21] Spinning, whirling Still descending Like a spiral sea, unending Sound and fury drowns my heart Every nerve is torn apart... Give it a listen. It's intense to say the least.
Excellent that you named your kittie Alberio. One eye for each color star in the double. ...another informative video (thank you), and Alberio is now on my list. I love the different colors in Cor Caroli, so look ford to this one. Our first scope came to us in late October, so the summer sky will be a new adventure. Thanks again!
This video is really helpful. As I was camping, I can see some shining stars above without light pollution! Thanks, Janine! ❤️❤️ Ps: that's a cute cat btw ❤️
I am a novice stargazer and absolutely found your video Honda triangle most informative. I live in Ann Arbor Michigan and went outside to catch the Arcturus star next to the Moon and watch the video on that. And I caught your video thereafter. Also I luv your kitty cuz my kitty looks like a very close cousin of hers. (Orange white like cream color taby)Her name is: isamya cuz, she, isa Mya kitty, not yours. Thank You Garth
Non radial pulsation: "A form of pulsation in which waves run in all directions across the star's surface, as opposed to spherically symmetrical expansion and contraction (radial pulsation). There are normally multiple periods, resulting in a complex pattern of nodes and antinodes over the surface." Simplistic explanation for something that must be hugely complex.
I've been using Deneb/Vega or Deneb/Caph as my alignment stars on my Eq6r pro mount this summer. Deneb has been so useful being its position and brightness.
A more interesting summer triangle is composed of Vega, Altair, and Rasalhague, in Ophiuchus. This is close to an isosceles triangle that is due south at midnight on the summer solstice and points upward. The winter triangle, Betelgeuse, Sirius, and Procyon, form a downward pointing isosceles triangle which is due south at midnight on the winter solstice. These two triangles are also close to being the same size and the same elevation and so, if overlapped, would form the star of David. Whenever I see this hexagram I think of the two celestial triangles and their relationship with the solstices.
Do you know how I can see this beautiful constellation? I’m in Florida and I can only ever see Orion and the Pleiades. I really want to see Cygnus Thank you for all you do 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We don't have that clear sky as you are showing. There are millions of stars in the picture you have shown. Wish we could see them in real. Im from India btw☺️🙏🙏
Deneb stands out because of it's sheer remoteness imagine how bright it would be if it was the Altair distance away!I was in a place a few years ago, Dubai,with brutal light pollution so bad I don't think that you could see Deneb but Vega and Altair just.Don't go if you want to stargaze!
There is another bright star called OB2 # 12 that would be as bright as Deneb if not for intervention of interstellar dust and is further then Deneb. If you were as close to Deneb as Neptune is to the Sun you would probably need welders safety goggles for a flash glance along with solar glasses to look at the Sun.
beautiful pictures, but i think if your goal is to teach people to find certain stars, and constellations you should use photos showing the sky as the human eye sees it.
The problem is finding those kinds of realistic pictures. After six years of doing these videos, I still struggle to find the kind of photos you are requesting.
Depending on where we live the night sky looks different for all of us. If you live in the northern hemisphere - look vertically up in August and the summer triangle and Cygnus are right there. But I can't see the milky way due to light pollution.
This evening as from 9 pm Vega was clearly visable at the nightsky, it was only at 9.45 pm that The summertriangle appeared in its all. Beautiful. I even found Albireo in Brussels nightsky aswell as at your place. (Btw beautiful kitten)🙏👌🪐🌏🌕✨

the fact that my parents named me after that Star. feel so special
My native language is arabic and you are doing very well with your pronounciation , i love your work and i am learning a lot from you , thank you ❤
Thank you for your message. I always worry about my pronunciations, let alone my Philly accent.
@@learnthesky i like your accent and thank you so much for the great work you are doing

Came for the stars. Stayed for the kitty 😀
Amazing how your cats eyes match that dual star! Magical!

"In the constellation of Cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The black hole of Cygnus X-1
Six stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night"
[Part I 05:01-05:45]
Invisible to telescopic eye
Infinity, the star that would not die
All who dare to cross her course
Are swallowed by a fearsome force
Through the void, to be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized - at the core
Or through the astral door
To soar...
[Part II 05:45-07:15]
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
The X-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole
Gains control
[Guitar Solo]
[Part III 07:15-10:21]
Spinning, whirling
Still descending
Like a spiral sea, unending
Sound and fury drowns my heart
Every nerve is torn apart...
Give it a listen. It's intense to say the least.

"Buh-Rightest Star" How Romantic 🥰
I live at latitude 41 south and Deneb just rises above the northern horizon in our late winter. Always make a point of viewing it when favourable.
cat with albireo eyes cute!

Ps: that's a cute cat btw ❤️
Spotted this tonight through my window, amazing 😮

Don't know how Honda got in there lol
This video was great and super informative. Subscriber earned!!!
one of my favorite.. far away easily see than any other star

Did I see that your kitty Albirio has eyes that match her namesake?
Sweet..:)
Thank you for this wonderful content
Your cat is cute
Imagine a dome where all these stars could simulate and live together ! All the different unique personalities !
I've been using Deneb/Vega or Deneb/Caph as my alignment stars on my Eq6r pro mount this summer. Deneb has been so useful being its position and brightness.
This channel is AMAZING
Great video! I see it when we have clear skies, but I also have bad sky glow in that are due to street lights. .

This is cool. I love learning new and different ways to look at the sky. Thank you for sharing ✨
Wondrous!
I found the Veil Nebula complex using your video on Cygnus, awesome!
Do you know how I can see this beautiful constellation? I’m in Florida and I can only ever see Orion and the Pleiades. I really want to see Cygnus
Thank you for all you do 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Have you done Canopus ? It is barely on the horizon in southern states in Feb
I have not, but I am researching it and have a presentation in the works.
My home constellation 🌌
Fascinating, thank you. Although I find some comments 0.0035 pedantic

Do you have a resource that outlines the rhythmic changes in the brightness of Deneb over time?
Me as a kid i always when im looking at deneb is too interesting!! This star is 2016 light years away but its among the brightest stars?!?!?!?!?
thx....
Can we be effected by the energy of Deneb?
English vowels: Ae, Ie, I, Oh, You.
Spanish vowels: Ah, Ae, Eee, Oh, Ooh.
Hope this helps.
I admit I am terrible with pronunciations of different languages. This is why I went into science. 😁
Do you have a video about Canopus? I looked and I didn't find it.
I have one in the works. I’ve been working all 25 brightest stars
That right there is why the snake formations from the ancients exist
Deneb stands out because of it's sheer remoteness imagine how bright it would be if it was the Altair distance away!I was in a place a few years ago, Dubai,with brutal light pollution so bad I don't think that you could see Deneb but Vega and Altair just.Don't go if you want to stargaze!
Go into the desert and you can see the milky way. The desert is fabulous for seeing the sky.
There is another bright star called OB2 # 12 that would be as bright as Deneb if not for intervention of interstellar dust and is further then Deneb. If you were as close to Deneb as Neptune is to the Sun you would probably need welders safety goggles for a flash glance along with solar glasses to look at the Sun.
Ogre Battle's Deneb the witch, wicce.
The cygnet ring is off the finger
7 stars in the night sky including Denebola share the name Deneb

Of course, we must remember, all of this conjecture is based on trusting one's factual knowledge, of a mere 0.0035 percent accuracy.
