Oddly enough, this is the single best explanation of the North Star I have ever heard. In all of the explanations I've ever heard, they leave out that the rotation of the Earth may make the stars appear differently. You're awesome, Alfie.
At also helps to know the major (brightest) stars like Betelgeuse, Rigel, Adalbaran, Vega, Antares, Arcturus and Sirius for dealing with light pollution and overcast. Sometimes you'll only be able to recognize these by color and position.
Good video my friend but actually it is "extended by 5 times" the distance between Merak and Dubhe. Anyway, I am sure everybody can find it as Polaris (North Star) is the brightest in this part of the sky as you mentioned.
***** That's not what I meant at all. It was in the truest sense of the word uncomplicated. I was actually liking and supporting the manner in which the video was delivered. This is what I meant by simple info for simple minds. It was not derogatory in any way. This is though the way you saw it....your self importance working its magic. You jump the gun mate and you have many opinions, which are not accurate. You were insulting...plain and simple. And if you insult me I will investigate who is mouthy online in relation to an honest post I made.
***** This stood out from the rest. I don't mind disagreement at all if it's got substance and is communicated in a way that's balanced. You came out the blue speaking of my ass mate. It really did imply that I was insulting to Mr Alfie A who created the video and others. Not at all as explained with regards supporting something that could be made complicated but was in actual fact delivered simply. I liked it! Let’s get one thing straight. I sent a message and or reply and do you know what you would not have answered it choosing instead to leave me with that unpleasant thought of yours. So I made an investigation and provoked a response because I was annoyed at what was a crass comment. You speak of intelligence and yet let’s look at how you revealed yourself. You said: 'Did kissing your own ass feel good? Hope so because it made you look like one'. I mean, I was actually supporting the Alfie A video and you could not see that. You saw what you wanted to see and it was unpleasant. About stalking? Stalking happens over a duration of time. I merely made an investigation into an insulting individual who had got things out of context and sort to provoke a response out of him. I got one and am satisfied with that given the nasty and provocative nature of your comment. As for spending the rest of my days investigating unpleasant people online I choose not to come across them by way of choosing my associations. You are rare in my online experience mate. For this reason I'm gonna leave you where you are and make do with the response I have got from you all be it one which evades the essence of my deliberation. Good day mate ...your free to get on and find someone else to have a go at now.
***** Justine with such an honest confession of thoughts I am also compelled to reply. In truth I reflected on the comment after posting my last comment you have just responded to. I thought that maybe this is how people will see it after all. It's a funny twist in spirit. I meant it honestly but I can see that there are indeed people who may feel their intelligence demeaned. It's a knifes edge and I get your point. I must say I make mistakes in life and have done things the average man would cringe at. I suppose it's how we learn and have, in many respects, become sensitive. I accept your apology Justine...your a good man and it sounds that we have things in common with regards our sensibilities and values so to speak. Well mate I'm glad our wisdom came through. All the best Mark.
Sir, i am in great dilemma. In India during Autumn season, three stars of Ursha Major are seen in north west corner till 8 PM. However, at 8 PM, constilation of seven stars that looks like big dipper is seen towards North East corner. why? what is that?
Could I get permission to use snippets of your videos to teach my Trail Life children (similar to Boy Scouts) and possibly submit this to other leaders of children in our organization? Thanks. Respectfully, Robert Thomas
Are you saying you think he's in Australia because of his accent? That's not an Australian accent. To me that sounds like somewhere within the UK. Exactly which part is beyond me, but that definitely does not sound like an Australian accent to me.
Funny how the big dipper was pointing below the horizon for a couple years after 2008 in NC. Did the north star go below the horizon also? The convenient spinning of the big dipper around polaris still pointing at it demonstration illustration is well deceptive but the big dipper moves around in such a manner since 2008 that it's edge that's supposed to point at polaris is pointing in several different directions. Something is amiss. Nice try though to cover up for this celestial event that NOBODY talks about.
The big dipper and the little dipper make this circle EVERY 24 hours. I will be in different position at the same time of night at different times of the year. The big dipper is highest in the sky in the summer and lowest in the winter. ( evening hours)
Maybe I'm not enough retarded to get this, but can you logically explain to me how possibly did you watch a video about finding north by using dots in the sky and came to the conclusion that you live on a magical fantasy pancake?

9 years later and this is still a nice vid. hope yo are good and enjoying your life like I'm enjoying this day

Going to show my granddaughter this next week. Thanks from Colorado.
Its fun to learn new things. Thanks for sharing.
btw this wont work in the southern hemisphere
There is no north star in the southern hemisphere....look for the southern cross!
brian gillman There is always the north star, the problem.os The Earth is in the way.
Google assistant brought me here.
Oooof
So....the Earth isn't flat???
Basically it's the star on the tip of the low engine oil symbol
We call Ursa major as Sapta rishi in Sanskrit ( the seven stars are considered as Representatives of 7 great sages of Ancient time)

How can a 1min 46secs video be that rich of information ? Thanks a lot
hes a good lad our alfie
Useful and simple info for simple minds. Cheers for the tips....
***** Can you clarify mate?
***** Must have been important for you to make such a demeaning comment. So what's the score? Still waiting.

How did sailor navigate with constant at daylight while no stars (Polaris) on the sky? - and on the southern hemisphere?❤

Fantastic video. Accurate and CONCISE!
Best video on the subject. A+
thx for the thing
You sound like you're in Australia. I didn't think you could see the North Star there.
Are you saying you think he's in Australia because of his accent?
That's not an Australian accent. To me that sounds like somewhere within the UK. Exactly which part is beyond me, but that definitely does not sound like an Australian accent to me.
@@TarqPick Maybe you're right. That would make more sense. Maybe he'll reply and give us the answer.
Thanks now I know what I need
Ursa Major is also known as the Bear.
Thanks for sharing! 🦋✨🌠
But what if Uranus is blocking the view?
great video and acurate info good job
Looking good
cant remember last time i saw a star in uk lol
Thank you !
Nice 👌
I saw the big dipper but its upside down
Very usefull thanks
great video!
Animation getting better in 2013
thank you 👍👍👍👍👍🔥
I ONLY SEE LITTLE DIPPER!
Not "hundreds" of constellations in the sky. There are 88.
What if its daytime?
you can use the sun to get a general idea of your heading since the sun rises from the east to the west
@@ancientapparition1638 but at the poles
@@mrthomaslaux1 yeah its not precise at all but itll still work as a general indication
The information in this video will not expire
It will.
Polaris is in the centar of the world
What's a 'centar'?
Easy to find north but useless if you don’t know where you are and can’t use a map and compass like me 🤦♀️
