I've always liked viewing Antares and monitoring the large variability of its brightness that occurs usually over a period of a few years , a clear sign of its Supernova destined growing instability. I've watched it since the late 1970s, so have had time to see it cycle its brilliance many times🎉

@nuhamansour1971 2 года назад

I just saw the whole constellation and specially Antares, didn’t know it is a binary system.I watched that from the Jordanian desert. Jordan.

@kevanhubbard9673 Год назад

I live in northern England and we get Antares but not the tail of the Scorpion 🦂. Antares is my second lowest first magnitude star with Fomalhaut being the lowest.I have a fond memory of the Scorpion as about 6 years ago I was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Madrid overnight and out of the window mid Atlantic there was Scorpius hanging in the sky.

@kansasangel99 Год назад

I live in Kansas and I love looking at Antares! Thanks for giving me some more information on it!

@bdre5555 7 дней назад

This star caught my eye yesterday, during a hot summer night here in Oregon. It was twinkling so brightly and quickly, and alot of the color was so red. It's been interesting learning about this star.

@Diminished_Comet 2 года назад

Love that 25 brightest stars ensemble. Seeing all of them together and the slight differences in colour is nice.

@annecarter5181 2 года назад

So glad you are back from your wonderful experience with NASA. Happy that my night sky lessons can continue and with even more insights from your “lessons”. with the “pros”. You are like having a private tutor!! The summer sky in my area (Long Island, NY) is so murky and light-polluted that the constellations and Milky Way are whatever my imagination can conjure up!! I’m happy when I can find the alpha stars in each constellation! I take what I can get! But… I keep looking up!

@MountainFisher 2 года назад

I live in southern New Mexico and partly because of your channel Janine I got back into astronomy and bought a serious telescope. I've been trying to look at Scorpius all summer, but it has been cloudy every night! Monsoon season in NM.

I’ve heard from numerous astrologers that Antares is the star of the warrior, great for military honors, courage, etc good example Mike Tyson’s moon placement is in Antares (Mike tyson modern day gladiator(boxer) who came and conquered his way to the top.

I saw Antares after listening to this AMAZING lesson. Also saw the last two eye-stars at the end of the group Shaula and Lesath. Also noticed -- After going through your video DENEB -- that a little bit beneath Deneb on the left there are also two stars that look like an eye, but cannot find the name. Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

@haroldkline4898 11 месяцев назад

I've always been grateful for the ecliptic. It saves me from looking all over the sky for things. I alwas know i will find the moon and all other local planets along that line. It kind of idiot proofs things a bit, which is great luck for me. Haha!

@SageKwadwo 4 месяца назад

I noticed this....but my favorite constellation is Orion n my favorite star is Sirius

@NPC_Khull Год назад

Does the ecliptic line vary in different hemispheres? Or is it the same regardless of perspective

@zuzannawisniewska4464 Год назад

Antares is the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpion. It has the Bayer designation a Scorpii, which is Latinised to Alpha Scorpii.Often reffered to as "the heart of the scorpion" ...

@MyBlueZed 2 года назад

My second favourite constellation (after Crux 🇦🇺) because you can really see a scorpion 🦂 It isn’t too difficult to find in the sky compared to your example photographs since most of the stars in them are dim or not visible. The downside is it’s visible during winter for us and it’s so dang cold to go outside 🥶 There is an interesting mythological relationship with Orion. 😉

@learnthesky Год назад

Yes, I like the mythology of how Orion and Scorpius are on opposite sides of the sky. I haven’t thought about the fact that it would be cold for you during the time that Scorpius is out. That’s how it is when I see Orion and friends. It’s such a gorgeous sky but so cold. I didn’t have this issue when I lived in Hawaii though🏝

@PowerScissor Год назад

How do you see a scorpion? Like head down, head up, claws etc. I used to see a head down one as a kid, but then saw a drawing head up with only 1 claw...and now I can't see one any longer.

@MyBlueZed Год назад

@@PowerScissor Hey there! I’m at 35° South and I see the two arms toward the zenith; the tail is facing down (towards the south celestial pole. I can make out the arms, the heart (Antares) and the curving tail. Not a picture of a scorpion 🦂 but it’s the closest to what it’s supposed to represent I think. I mean, look at Aries 🤣

@PowerScissor Год назад

@@MyBlueZed I now live at 47°N so I don't see the whole thing, and it's blocked by a tree from my house. Maybe I'm just misremembering what I saw as a kid. It feels like I used to see a head down two armed scorpion...sort of like this 🦂 when I lived farther South. Up here by Seattle there's so much light pollution from the city I don't see much anyway.

@swayKang 7 месяцев назад

You said Antares is called the heart of scorpius being of a binary is that Antares A or Antares B. So is it two hearts or is it one singularty? And whats the rest of the stars in scorpius any planets? Doing some studys on my birth sign in zodiac chart. Thanks

@sunilsaranjame1523 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! Just one question - how a blue giant can be on the main sequence?

@Astronurd 2 года назад

The fact that it’s on its main sequence enables it to burn vast amounts of hydrogen making it very hot and blue in color.

@learnthesky Год назад

Yes it can be on the main sequence. However the term ‘blue giant’ can apply to a wide variety of stars. If a star is large, blue and luminous, this term is often used.

So if Antares A goes Supernova, what will happen to Antares B?

@afinepoint4u 6 месяцев назад

What will become of Antares B when A goes supernova?

@johnconstable81 Месяц назад

Does that mean Antares A is going to swallow Antares B at some point?

@PowerScissor Год назад

Can anyone explain why objects in the night sky are often referred to as being visible during Summer in the N. hemisphere and Winter in the S. hemisphere? Wouldn't it make more sense to just say the months it is visible? I'm sure there's some obvious reason I'm not thinking of, so excuse my ignorance.

@learnthesky Год назад

I tend to talk about what I see living in the northern hemisphere and how the patterns change with the seasons. However, I am evolving out of this way of teaching. I recognize it's easier now to say which months they appear as opposed to seasons, especially since the seasons are different in the hemispheres.

Cool. Is this the star that spins so fast it bulges? Maybe that's arcturus.

There are a few stars that spin like the way you describe. Vega is one of those…that’s my next video.

You can definitely see it in the Northern Hemisphere. I find it slightly easier to see when I’m closer to the equator.
