Amazing presentation and beautifully spoken by the narrator!!! Time well spent!!! Subscribed!!!
This is an AMAZING video!!! Thank you so much for posting!!!
Gracias por seguir haciendo estos vídeos.
This helped me a lot on my virgo proget that I have to do for school thank you!
I got everything. It's very informative! No more qs!
Great information video. Thanks
Great video！Thank you for your effort！
Amazing Information Janine
Brilliant video. Thanks
I like how the galaxies are crowded on the north of Virgo and some that are scattered on the rest of virgo
Yep. Love your videos n clear explanations!!!
Thank you for your support!
excellent video
I teach Starlab and I always review your videos to help enrich my programs. I tell my groups about your channel and how anyone can learn the sky you just have to go outside! ❤thank you!
I’m so happy my videos help! Thank you for your message 😁
Happy to learn mine
Lots of content and visuals; thank u for sharing!
I'm curious to know what the background noise is that happens at the 3 minute mark, it's rather distracting but manageable, I just listened to your presentation several times.
Those sounds are birds in the background. I recorded this when I lived in Hawaii and at my location it was hard to escape the sounds of nature.
*Spica* is called *चित्रा नक्षत्र(Chitra Nakshatra)* In India.
1:18 this pattern makes more sense, the brightest star Spica means "ear of wheat" because Virgo herself is often shown holding one. Sometimes she looks like the letter Y or a polygon with lines from each corner
On my corner, where I like to hang out sometimes I can see 1 star from the sky, I do wonder if it's a drone or à star, who knows?! That's the life in my dwarf metropol. I would like this summer to escape city life for a few week, wish me godspeed! Thank you to explain why virgo have different shapes, left to me which shape correspond to my culture. I might find the right answer soon. Thank you for your brillant video.
Thanks 👍 ... Podrás hacer de la constelación de ARCTURUS .. please
Spring is upon us here in NM and I'm looking forward to seeing at least some of those galaxies with my telescope. I do not have any fancy trackers except hand controls to make moving it smooth with no jerkiness and minimal shaking. I only acquired my telescope recently and haven't had a chance (or skill) to view a galaxy yet. I've so enjoyed your videos Janine I cannot say how helpful they've been. Especially helpful in finding things. When it is cloudy I listen to you as your voice reminds me of my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Rivers who was so instrumental on interesting me in science.
You forgot to mention that Virgo doesn't have the Milky Way galaxy behind it and that is why we can see so many galaxies. Or did you say so and I missed it?🙃
I mentioned the absence of the Milky Way in my last video about galaxies. Virgo is one of the best constellations for photographing galaxies. I’m glad my videos help!
I enjoy your videos. I like how you try to get people to see the constellations and a lot of your illustrations.. I prefer the Spring Diamond. I actually have never heard of the Spring Triangle? The Spring Diamond is Arcturus, Spica, Denebola, and Cor Caroli. Another way to see Virgo is Virgo's Diamond, but I also like to see her cup. I saw the Virgo Diamond in an old book but don't remember where. It is Spica, Porrima, Vindematrix, and Heze all in Virgo. I have also heard spike to Spica. Speed is probably easier to remember although it promotes mispronunciation.
Thank you for your message. I have heard of the Spring Diamond, but I just do not have any good picture of it. I have videos coming out on Spring Triangle soon. There's also debate as the which stars make up the Spring Triangle. I appreciate your comment about 'Spike to Spica'...I didn't think about how this would help with correct pronunciation. I will most likely make that switch.

Keep it up
Thank you very much again I am from india
Good to hear from you again! Thanks for watching!
Look narrowly for the green ears of grain- spica
It seems some draw virgo with a stick body with spica as the left hand, and others as a square with spica as the left hip.
Very nice. I was missing your videos. Now i am gonna try to find it, although i think i can't use the pointers here in the south. But i noticed Castor and Pollux in one of your pictures, i will try to use them. Once i find Virgo i intend to show to my mom, because it's her sign .. Lol strong hugs
Bye.
Aloha. It's good to hear from you again. Were you able to find Virgo? Hope you are doing well!
Learn the Sky Aloha!
Actually no, cause i have an issue between me and Virgo: clouds lolol it's been very cloudy here these days, I barely can see the Moon! I am expecting the sky to clean up in the next days here to me to be able to see something. But i'm not sure because due to the right ascemption Orion is gone of my view( i am 23 degrees south here) and i think i am gonna get a little lost without my compass, aka Orion, that i've learn from you . In the meantime i am hoping your new site to be sucesseful 😉. Keep posting videos, they are just awesome. Strong hugs
Thanks! I too have been having the same cloudy problem in Hawaii. Ever since the volcano has increased with its current eruption, the stars haven't been visible much. Good luck with your stargazing!
Learn the Sky Aloha! Thanks and good luck for you too... Let's pray for Pele , the goddess of the volcanos for that Kilauea can stop his eruptions... And once again, good luck in your new astronomy website!!👌😉 i am rooting for it to become a huge success. If you need anything just tell me and I will try to help you in the best way possible .
I'm a Virgo. Would that make Spica my birth star? Great stuff by the way. I just watched your vid on Orion's belt stars.
PKS 1302-102 In The Virgo Constellation
Are there any books and websites which are recommended in learning about the constellations without getting in the modern sense of astrology/divination? EW Bullinger had written a book called Witness of the Stars, but that was over a century ago.
Nice video but a request can you make a animation the things you explain how celestial bodies move around
It might be a while before I can create animations...I do not have any skill in that area. Right now I am looking to purchase animations. Thank you for watching.
How I look out for Virgo, is finding Corvus. (The diamond looking constellation beside her right)
That's how I find Corvus as well. :)
That star seems familiar
When I look up Virgo more than one constellation shows up, which one is correct ?
Not all apps on the phone for stargazing are created equal. This is why I prefer not to use an app. It is really hard to translate the whole sky on a tiny screen. Virgo is a really large constellation (2nd largest). Corvus the Crow and Bootes are nearby. I hope you find it! It is very faint. Good luck!
Who is the woman behind that constellation Virgo? Astraea, Persephone or Demeter?
I wanna know which one fits her... Virgo is closely connected with the constellation Libra which is the Scales of Justice idk which Goddess uses the Scales.
From my research, all three you mentioned are connected to Virgo.The legends vary so much. Astraea, the Goddess of Justice, is definitely connected to Libra and they are right next to each other in the sky. There are legends about Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest, destroying crops because Hades kidnapped her daughter Persephone. I wish I could give you a more straight forward answer. There are so many varieties of legends and they change culture to culture. They are even different within the same culture!
How many stars and planets are in Virgo?
So far, there are 35 confirmed exoplanets orbiting stars in Virgo, however that can change as astronomer discover more exoplanets. As for how many stars, depends how you look at it. There are 25 main stars in the pattern, but any star located in the border of the constellation is considered part of it, even if it is not part of the pattern.
Cool! thanks 👍

Any Indian people 😀
Yes bro every night virgo can see in deep night sky😊 in india

The only stick figure in space !
Gemini also makes a great pair of stick figures.
