Binocular specification please
@@aruntheeban1 yes pls
I am always looking up at the night sky, love this, thanks
Janine, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I have been stargazing for the first time and your video helps a lot. Recently I saw Taurus and the other constellations when the sky was the clearest and their beauty almost made me cry.
Hello I recently found out your channel and I have been inhaling your content I just wanna say a big big thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love how easy to understand your explanations are and how you include all the mythology connected to these constellations. Big thank you love your channel ❤️
Comment:♉ if you are a Taurus
♉️
Taurus here! 4/21 ♉️🐂
5/3. Also born in the year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac!
Mee
I'm learning a lot from you, and every step practice what you teach on Stellarium just realized at 8:18 That's Pollux and castor. Thank you!
That makes 2 of us! Always going out and using Stellarium to verify my learnings 😂
Am learning and appreciating the sky so much more. Thanks Janine❣️
You did such a nice job, in just about every aspect of your presentation. Thank you very much.
Of course, Orion and Taurus are probably the easiest of the winter constellations to identify here in the Northern Hemisphere, but light pollution makes it more difficult to spot the Hyades with each passing decade.
You provide us all a service in this area. With more people taking an interest in the night sky, our communities have become a little more sensitive to eliminating the sources of light pollution. (I would love to get rid of those bright LED signs that have popped up everywhere.)
I enjoyed your mythology section, especially. There's an amazing underground temple in Southern Egypt known as the Serapeum, where Apis bulls are said to be buried. No one has every found any sign of bull remains down there. Only perfectly carved stone boxes said to be their sarcophagi. The mystery lies in how these 22 stone boxes, made if granite and weighing about 70 tons each, got down there.
Keep looking up. I remember the fellow who signed off the San Jose public tv station every night with those very words.
i am always in awe of the night sky...i am also saddened by the fact that we know the sky is filled with uncountable star systems with even more uncountable planets and we as humans we never get to explore...what wonders will be forever beyond our view.............
Hey Janine...

You’re such a great teacher! I’ve learned more from you watching 3 videos (including the one about tools such as planisphere) than I have spending hours on internet trying to find out where to even start as an amateur astronomer! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for finally teaching me what pleiades is. I always thought of it as the thing that looked like a little dipper, but I knew it wasn't the little dipper :)
The Pleiades is my favorite! I’m got a video in that specific cluster coming soon. I’ve heard many people say it looks like a tiny dipper, and I agree!
You are amazing 👏 thanks 😊
Thank you🌎

Hi everyone.Just found this vlog.Very nicely done. Keep up the good work. I would like to add getting Starlarium app on your phone or tablets is a must have while star gazing . absolutely free .Thank you .
HI Miss Jànine. I have been stargazing for a few years with my neighbor.We have enjoyed sharing our time together spotting different clusters and nebulas. Living here in south La. Nice and da rk most of the time .lol. Praying for clear sky's. For readers who don't have a telescope I highly suggest useing a pair of binoculars and a compass. It is truly amazing how much you can find and with them.Thanks for the videos . Clear sky's to y'all. From the Bayou State.🤩
The Star of Bethlehem was in the Star of David and the Star of David was in the Constellation Taurus the Bull.
Knowing how the mythologies creep through time and cultures, including the adaptation and influence into adjacent cultural groups, the story of Gilgamesh fighting the bull makes so much sense in regards to their locations in the sky. I've been curious as to why Orion isn't so closely associated with such a large animal (correct me if I'm wrong, please).
I have read before that Taurus is connected the Epic of Gilgamesh. I feel like the more I research mythologies, many go back to ancient Mesopotamia. The stars listed in the Babylonian Star Catalogs were definitely the precursors to the zodiacal constellations. I feel there are always new stories to uncover!
Thank you if only we all could use internet like you do
Earth might be a better place! 💫
Mithraism can also be mentioned as an important ancient cult in Europe and Middle East which survives today only in the minor form of tauromachy. But Taurus' importance throughout Human history especially derives from the Pleiades being a spot of 'friendly' extraterrestrial life.
Taurus ♉️ (April 21 - May 20)
These educational videos are not "bull!" Thanks!
Have you ever noticed that the pleiades is the post on the Golden gate ecliptic and it's located in the center of the Star of David. In the Book of Job God names the post on the Golden gate. It's the Gate to Heaven and the code to open the gate is 444
The Pioneer 10 spacecraft is in the constellation of taurus the bull.
Enjoyed this immensely but I was expecting you to raise the Mazzaroth at the Mythology end
Does anybody have any idea if there are any Red Supergiants in this Constellation?
For any Indians who may pass by, here is the translation
Pleiades = Kruthika
Aldebaran = Rohini
Pollux = Mrugashira
Beatlegese = Ardra
Bellatrix = Pushya
Rigel = Makha
Great, how are doing during these tough times, the world is going through phase now
Hi! It's good to hear from you again. I am making use of my quarantine time by working on more videos. I miss seeing friends and family, but I am thankful to be safe and healthy. I hope you are doing well in these circumstances. Take care friend.
im a taurus i just want to see the constellation
Pls enlighten me..how could the sun have a path when its stationary..tnks
Nothing is really stationary in our universe. Everything is always moving since our universe is expanding. From our viewpoint on Earth, the Sun appears to move in the sky. It's position throughout the year has been recorded in many civilizations throughout human history.
I saw it last night
I wonder if all horoscope constellations does the sun and the the moon pass through them?

Is this viewed from northern or southern atmosphere please?
Taurus is visible at latitudes between +90° and −65°, so it can be seen from both Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Why isn't the iconic Tianguan/Zeta Tauri even mentioned?

Answer me
Why the heck to I feel inferior?
In fact when you pull back , I see a Kangaroo Face or Horse or Donkey 😅
the sun passes through?? what the???
doesnt the sun just stay in one place?? 😨😨😨😨😨
Well, technically everything in the universe is moving and our universe is expanding (Hubble's Law). From our perspective, it is sun that appears to move in our sky. The path of the sun in our sky is called the ecliptic, and humans have been recording the movement of the sun and stars for thousands of years.
E end story was maori not Polynesian
I do not ever see the these constellations as they are depicted . I just do not see horns or a face 😮
YEAR OF THE OX:(A,E,I,O AND U)
