Wow, this video is outstanding! Thank you very much for taking the time to show and explain with both Stellarium and the arrows on the textbook image. I can’t wait to share my new knowledge and solidify my learning!
Great video with an explanation that makes sense to me. I purchased Stellarium last year after trying just about every other stargazing app and I use it almost every single day. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this video! I wonder if the fact that the horizon has been curved in these images might generate some kind of deviation in the ecliptic projection, when compared to the projection that we actually see on the sky (straight horizon). In any case, very interesting
Hence the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic "The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line."
Hi this may be a bit of a dumb question I am new to Stellarium how do you use ecliptic longitudes? I was looking for the moon's passage through the Zodiacs on Feb 20 2022 and Stellarium showed the Moon placed on Virgo even though all moon calendars that I looked at had the Moon placed on Libra was I doing something wrong?
