I've been able to spot Orion and the Big Dipper for decades, but couldn't make sense of other constellations - until now. I like the way you take your time to explain in greater detail where to find other stars and constellations, and then zoom in to give us a better look without losing track of where they are. Going to make skywatching that bit easier now. Thank you.
Janine, thank you so much for all the videos because your videos kindled my curiosity about constellations in the sky which I didn't have any interest in in the past.
I love your video ill be reviewing it out my window. I'm up high and Orion and Pleiades are super bright. I was moved to paint them, I never painted before but they painted the . I still paint star and now my husband does. I am so happy to learn everything about them thanks, new fan.
I've been seeing this in the sky for months now and never knew what it was as it is super bright and seems to flicker red, green and whitish light. Seen best at night while driving through northern New Brunswick, Canada. Was hoping for aliens, but this is neat too! Haha Thanks for the lesson! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
The only thing I don't like about star gazing at night in the winter months is the ❄️🥶 however I do like the fact that you can see the stats more clearly. And I unfortunately dont get to see the stars all too often as its usually cloudy or raining, or I am on holiday in the winter. I loved lock down even-though I got stuck for two years in tbe UK as during this time there wasn't as much light pollution and most nights where crystal clear. And I found your video very useful during that time nearly 3 years ago as it helped me to align my then brand-new telescope. Thank you very much for your helpful videos.
Thanks. And I thought that it was canis primus? I thought of this because I'm an expert at dogs and I love dog movies that's why I thought that. Thank u for helping me find this star I would have never found it. GOOD JOB
very great one, as always, from you , can you pl do videos on all 27 stars as we follow in vedic tradition as per India , which are accepted by all nations now
Hello Janine. Thanks a lot for your absolutely wonderful videos. I have a question. I live very close to tropic of cancer in India and I see a very bright star in the western sky, which rises pretty early and sets early as well. Could you guide me what star that might be? What constellation does it belong to? It is not Sirius, I confirmed it because it does not lie on the extension of the Orion belt.

Just my luck that when Canis Majoris should be fully visible from my front porch, that part of the sky is all cloudy, and looking east, it looks like it won't be clearing up any time soon. Was really hoping to be able to spot VY Canis Majoris tonight (just trying to determine the perfect way to locate it similar to how Orion's Belt can direct you to Sirius and Aldebaran (and onward to the Pleiades). Would I be able to see VY CM with these 10x42 Bushnell Binocs I've got here?
Hello! Hopefully you can get some clear skies soon. VY CM is a really interesting star (one of the largest known stars). It is a variable star (6-9 range in magnitude), so I think it would be possible to see it with your binocs when it is closer to the six range. I believe it is somewhat close to the 'tail' star of the dog.
@@learnthesky Last night was nice and clear. Unfortunately, the waxing gibbous moon completely drowned out the three things I was hoping to view then: VY Canis Majoris, the Horsehead Nebula, and the Pleiades. Heavy snow forecast here for the next couple nights, but Saturday is supposed to be clear and cold. However, that is the full moon which will likely make even the Orion and Running Man nebulas hard to see. Perhaps early March may provide some proper viewing conditions to observe my first hypergiant.
@@learnthesky Alright, I think I can technically claim that I saw VY CM now, but only to the extent that I was able to definitely see the area of the sky it was in, using Delta and Eta Canis Majoris as guides. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VY_Canis_Majoris However, not going to claim it as my first hypergiant observed just yet, not until I can definitely point it out without a doubt. And if I don't manage it before it is no longer visible in the Northern Hemisphere, then I have the rest of the year to try and make Rho Cassiopeiae my first hypergiant. At least RC is in a polar constellation that is visible year round. The Orion and Running Man nebulae are no longer any challenge to spot, same with the Pleiades. Still no sign of the Horsehead Nebula though; will likely need to find a spot outside of town with less light pollution for that one.
You have a new subscriber. I know the religious mythical stories and I relate them with the stars and everything with the stars and it all easily make sense
Never thought that I would ever see this star in my life!! Thank you so much for helping. 👍👍
You can’t miss it

I am new to sky watching, I just bought a pair of 16x50 binoculars. Your videos are fantastic, some of the best on TH-cam. Thank you for your work.
Janine, thank you so much for all the videos because your videos kindled my curiosity about constellations in the sky which I didn't have any interest in in the past.
Thank you, excellent narration, the diagrams and photos aided me in finding this constellation. Superb video.
Outstanding! Great presentation👏👏👏
I first became aware of this Star and Aldarbaran a few years ago. I could see them, amazing 👏🏽
Hi, I love tour explanation and specially your voice. Send You My Best from Mexico City.
Thank you so much! Stay safe!

Do Brasil é facil de observar nesta época ! Entre a primavera e o verão , com céus claros e limpos.
Obrigado , adorei o video.
I liked this video, from today I am a subscriber of this TH-cam channel.
I loved the video and Canis Major is my favorite constellation!
Very interesting, good explanation, I learned a lot. Cheers

this one is so good, thank you
I like to learn more about Pisces. ❤️ your videos
I am wrapping up my research on Pisces...it will be my next video since you requested it. Thank you for your support. 😃
Fun fact: Sirius is a System of stars
It’s actually a binary star. Sirius A and Sirius B(the pup)
There’s three

Thanks. And I thought that it was canis primus? I thought of this because I'm an expert at dogs and I love dog movies that's why I thought that. Thank u for helping me find this star I would have never found it. GOOD JOB
I haven’t heard of the name Canis Primus, but I have only studied the patterns from Western astronomy. I’m happy to hear you were able to find it.
Great video
Thank you very much .... ✌️😘🤘
Canis Major And Orion are almost directly above head in Australia.
I believe the term, “dog days of summer,” in the Northern Hemisphere is tied to Sirius, the Dog Star.
First look at the winter triangle at night and you can see it
Beetle Juice 😉❤😍

Are there any resources you can share with me on this? Books or websites would be helpful. I am not familiar with this so I would need to do research.
Your way of pronouncing the stars' name are funny, but the videos are informative enough.
If you were born on June 28th/July 7th-8th-25th your the dogs🐕🐩
It's a big seriousness
Like Sirius black in harry potter 😃

That is probably Venus, not a star.
Southern constellations please

Isn't thors helmet in this constellation?
Yes, it is.
Is Canis Major locatable in the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere where I am?
Yes, Canis Major is viewable in the Southern Hemisphere.
Just my luck that when Canis Majoris should be fully visible from my front porch, that part of the sky is all cloudy, and looking east, it looks like it won't be clearing up any time soon.

My character is a Cocker spaniel Sirius and in the Ukraine dub she is a cocker spaniel Canis Major
It really does look like a dog, sirius marks the nose or collar
Sirius is the eye. Collar is the stars omicron1 and omicron2
That's where dogs are from
YEAH LOL
Lepus is the Hare, not rabbit
The Truman Show brought me here
I saw. A triangle in the sky so I came here
🌚🌚🌚
i found it accidentally lol
