The Night Sky - Orion 

Orion is my favorite constellation. I was even able to see the Orion Nebula with a simple pair of 10x50 binoculars.

Absolutely beautiful. I'm just starting to learn the night sky. Thanks for putting it simply, clearly yet making it very interesting at the same time with fables, history, and tricks for mapping. Appreciated.

Thank you for this. Now I know a lot more than Iknew 12 minutes ago. 🤗🤗🤗

I always appreciate this kind of material

In the 🌃 sky the stars have always fascinated me & never get tired to learn about them.

I love stars! Thanks for the knowledge .

Hitting on the most well known facts about Orion is a great start for aspiring astronomers. What I would like to see is a more in-depth look at Orion. Like for instance, over 90 percent of Orion is filled with what really amounts to a vast nebula complex. this complex also extends well beyond the confines of the constellation, and there are star forming regions throughout it. Also, one thing that should be mentioned is that the stars Betelgeuse and Rigel most likely formed in the same area they now occupy; within that vast nebula complex I mentioned. I think of all the constellations in the sky, Orion is not just the most recognizable one but also the most interesting one, due to all of what it has going on within it. It certainly deserves a full hour episode exploring all it has to offer the astronomical community.

Thank you for this video...you answered several questions I have always had about Orion...this was very informative.

Looking at Orion gives me encouragement of not being scared because in Greek Mythology he was a hunter that was not scared

Thank you for posting!!! I love the Universe!!!!!!

Thank you! Brilliant.

Thank you so much for the Orion constellation n nebula explanations. Amazing sharing🙏✨💝☀️😊

Very well done, thank you.

Very very well done!! I just started to learn about astronomy myself and have started learning about the constellations using Orion. I have found m42 and am trying to learn as much as I can about the various stars in the constellation. I appreciate the little nuances you add as that helps clarify some nagging questions I had- such as "what does M42 look like through a telescope?" (my scope shows it as a faint smudge) and is the horsehead nebula visible through the scope (which you clarified and stated it was only visible through prolonged exposure). Thank you for all that!!!

Thank you. I and my 9 year old son are inspired to go out and explore the night sky.

This was amazing

Absolutely fantastic video. Many thanks sir.

Wow this is the best video I’ve seen explaining constellations

Excellent video ..thank you for sharing

Thank you for this video.

Nicely done ,thx.

yes this is very beautiful

I loved this vid!!

Fascinating

6:00 -- The "futuristic spaceship" seems to be experiencing some navigational problems.

Thanks! Lovely lesson

The best way to find stars thanks a lot

Loved it

thank you so much for such an informative video

Very interesting. Thanks

orion my home ❤️

Fantastic Content

I distinctly remember that in an unrelated RU-vid video, (although it was about stars) an argument started because a person incorrectly thought that Orion is not visible in the Southern Hemisphere!!!! Several folks form Australia, Southern Africa and myself (south Ame- rica) replied that yes, Orion is visible on the Southern skies, depending on the time of the year and latitude. On an interesting note, we see it "UPSIDE DOWN"...

Very good elaborative explanation

Thank You

excellent lecture

Missed out the winter triangle. Betelgeuse of Orion at right center, Procyon of Canis Minor toward upper left, and Sirius of Canis Major toward lower left.

I still look these stars from far since my childhood and seeking something.

I'm looking forward to other constellation specific videos. Particularly the ones which are visible in both hemesphiares.

VERY INFORMATIVE

Clear and informative lecture. Thank you. This is my first hearing of astronomy. Recently I brought Celest Ron 70mm,15 to35 x binocular. From child hood I was fascinated by night sky .N body to tell me about it .I live in a village in India, doctor of medicine at 73 years age.

Thank you very much 🌞🌞🌞

Beautiful video, i did enjoy watching it. I recently made some videos on the Horsehead Nebula, most of them tutorials and soon will make another one on the Orion Nebula. Keep the good work. stay safe and Clear sky !

I gave Orion a wee salute tonight from the UK.X

Since my youth I've gazed at Orion. My intuition then thought of it as a distant home. There's still something comfy about it. Look at his waist dots through binoculars to see so much more

I live in a light polluted area in Southern Alberta Canada and Orion is my favorite because simply it is the easiest to locate in the winter months and easiest to trace into the shape the myth revoles around. Casseiopia is another easy on to locate along with Ursa Minor. Around November it really stands out in the night sky

what telescope could be used to see a clear view of orion nebula at lowest cost?

Subscribed because of this video

Oops. I always pronounced it as 'Beetlejuice' as well.

Thankyou,,,,nice job.best wishes.

I was looking at Orion in the being of October it looks like a new star was born it looks very bright in the Orion Nebula. I get up every morning to see Orion if it clear out. Right above my house. Thank You

Obrigado

Yap it is my new year resolution to learn about stars. Greetings from Tanzania

Thanks pal

I saw a Orion in the sky at night when I look up And the bull and also the libra

Don't even want to talk about where I remember Orion USED to be in the night sky......we won't go there. I am just happy that it's still up there. Peace.

TNX

Orion is one of the most visible constellations next to Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, Crux, and Canis Minor (Because of Procyon and it's only other star forming to only line).

Timely

Extremely good nice mythology

Bayt Al Jueze, or something like that, house of Jueze/Gueze(Ju-ay-zey) (thought to be an ancient name for orion). Also thought to mean armpit or shoulder of Gueze, but Im gonna assume Bayt is related to the modern semitic Bayt. Orions sword always points towards the south when you are in the northern hemisphere, good trick for navigation

Excellent video. I have just been outside and I am in Alice Springs Australia 🇦🇺 and the Orion’s Belt forms what I grew up calling the Big Dipper. Also here Betelgeuse is underneath the belt and Rigle is on top. Many 🙏

What I have been staring at half of my life was beautiful stars

Thanks sir I got which I need for star gazing

The star is 642 LY away, not 430 LY. How did that happen?

I live in the Southern Hemisphere NZ and for the best part of 6 months of the year I go to bed with Orion in our night sky he sits right over our town and right outside my front door during the winter months he disappears because he comes in early hours of the morning anytime from 1-3am I have withdrawal symptoms and will get up during those hours just to see him peculiar as that might seem?

Great informative video. Thanks. Question for anyone, and please excuse my ignorance, but what keeps everything in place? Why does everything stay in the exact same place? How does it do that?? Why isn’t everything bumping into each other?

at 10:057 there is a mistake Castor and Pollux are upsidedown

Growing up in south Georgia we could see Orion easily every night. Moving into a big city I can't see the stars anymore and I really hate not being able to see them.

Nice video, could you please tell me how to get this background music?

This comment is the addition to my previous comment:- ஹோரை is the Tamil word. I have pronounced it in English as"Horai",in the same phonotactics for easy to understand. From:-Tamil Nadu (south India)

Betelgeuse, I was just viewing that , they were using a P900. Awesome sight. I know now how they learned to break dance. This star has the moves.

Love from Bangladesh

Thanks i have understood where is Orion

How is it that Scott and his followers with cellphone cameras capture things that all the professional and amateur astronomers with telescopes never see?

I can be wrong but in the center of orion above the belt isnt there a beehive cluster with red yellow and blue stars ? And Andromeda to the upper left

I suppose the interpreter is looking straight southe in this video ,and if betelguse is the right shoulder of orion then how can torrus be at south east ?it should be south west am l right?

Its been above Massachusetts all this month and its Bow can be seen and it appears as if an Arrow is loaded ready to be let go? I have been observing it for the past 3 years and this year it began showing around a month ago with many stars surrounding it and a few nights ago the two stars that make up the tips of the Bow appeared and tonight another star is in the place where the feathered part of the Arrow and the Bow and arrow are aiming down whereas a few nights ago the Bow was aiming straight with no sign of any Arrow? Is a storm coming to Massachusetts, a Hail storm maybe for its sins?

Yes, I studied Astronomy and Love Orions belt!🤔

I live there

He’s the first man I’ve ever heard saying “finite speed of light”.

Dr Heath. please take the time and deeply ponder the thought that at one time in our past, the Andromeda Galaxy was within this constellation (around the belt area, but obviously way beyond it since it is a galaxy). now, this galaxy lies within the Andromeda constellation.

Новое оно всегда что то новое.

...and by the way here in Brazil people refer the Orion Belt as "3 Marias"

Orion is not fending off Taurus, Orion is a Decan of the constellation Taurus. Orion is a supplement to Taurus, it helps to complete the story of Taurus.

If thinking of black hole it will be like cyclone centre ex. Than not a ball or heat conductor. Just plane wind hole.

2020, now the est. For Bettejuice is about 700 light years, I think?

I enjoy the Orion stars every night provided it's not cloudy or snowing. I'd have liked to see a representation of Orion in 3D form, as if viewing from the side, not head-on, such as a graph showing the stars closest to earth and those further away.

wheres orion hydra (Dragon) ?

For me the figure appearing in the constellation Orion looks similar to a gladiator with a shield and sword.

I saw this large star, bright and pulsating , that is 270 degrees, directly diagonally down-left from orions belt near the horizon. I've heard that Capella and Arcturus are bright and pulsate a lot, but would love some assistance in identifying this light. One night it just disappeared, so i wonder if it is a planet or satellite.

Im still trying to understand why is he fighting a bull with a club and some bear skin, me growing up he was fighting the hydra with a long sword and a shield.

Orion is the word derived from Tamil language"Horai".(Horaion.) It means "Horary Wheel/ astrology,which was written by the ancient sage called Augusthiar..,who has also predicted many astronomical events,including the star of Bethlehem. It is also said that Augusthiar as a great astrologer.,might be one of the three kings. The word "Hour" is also adopted from "Horai".Hour (time) is the determinant of the astronomical cycle.

Actually after i first seen it in January i thought its a butterfly

Orion, home of the archangels.

m42 a galaxy in the making

Easy to find even in light polluted skies. Orion.

Was the Constellations expressed as Hieroglyphic first..?

Os senhores cientistas, não sabe dos mistérios das galáxias e constelações etc.
