Orion is my favorite constellation. I was even able to see the Orion Nebula with a simple pair of 10x50 binoculars.
@@philipgerlach7074 chk out GINA MARIA videos on utoob!! Look what shes been documenting in Indiana!!
Man its mine too i live there
See what Procyon REALLY is;

@@philipgerlach7074 long exposure astrophotography enables you to see more details and color compared with what you can see through a telescope. so with a 50mm lens you can get good images of the horsehead nebula if you have a star tracker :)
Mine too also every zodiac constellation
Thank you for this. Now I know a lot more than Iknew 12 minutes ago. 🤗🤗🤗
true
I also knew that.. The reasons why western knowledge of stars is in Arabic, because Western civilized slave drivers, went on a decline and THUS..
What a BS..
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.
Looking at Orion gives me encouragement of not being scared because in Greek Mythology he was a hunter that was not scared
Hope English is 2nd: the story goes that "The Hunter" was sidetracked, tricked by a bunch of girls, who were trying to save all the animals [I kid you not] so after 7 years of blind man's bluff in the gardens with Zeus's daughters, presumably the sweet influences of the Pleiades [or the daughters of Zeus] he then hurled them into the cosmos to become the eponymous constellation along with Orion "The Hunter" chasing the Pleiades eternally, all done evidently without having loosened his belt, which might become much harder to doff if Betelgeuse goes supernova!
@Faith take a break. Ask someone who really knows scripture; why is it then that God is asking Job to stand up like a man, gird himself, and declare what he knows about Orion and the Pleiades? Why would God be asking Job such a question?
Im his leg
I like Venus. Because she's pretty.
@@Imtahotep -- actually, regardless of which translation you read, in Job 9 God is not asking Job about Orion, etc., Job is stating that God is the creator and omniscient
In the 🌃 sky the stars have always fascinated me & never get tired to learn about them.
I always appreciate this kind of material
I love stars! Thanks for the knowledge .
Thank you! Brilliant.
Thank you so much for the Orion constellation n nebula explanations. Amazing sharing🙏✨💝☀️😊
Thank you for posting!!! I love the Universe!!!!!!
Thank you for this video...you answered several questions I have always had about Orion...this was very informative.
Excellent video ..thank you for sharing
orion my home ❤️
Same here,,,best wishes.
Geez!? My wife says the exact same thing ...
Bruh you live in the solar system
Mine too i literally live there
Sirius, near Orion is my home
Very well done, thank you.
Thank you. I and my 9 year old son are inspired to go out and explore the night sky.
Absolutely fantastic video. Many thanks sir.
Nicely done ,thx.
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 for this video.
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.
L Cleveland Major thanks for that. It was more interesting than the video. Always glad when November comes and Orion is back in the sky.
@@lyndadale6255 oooohhhh!!! Go chk out GINA MARIA videos on utoob...omgawd her yard is lit up with activity. But her latest videos shows MOTHER SHIP AROUND ORION!
I came here to see if her visitors are friend or foe. 2 SHOWED THEMSELVES ON HER PROPERTY LAST WEEK!!.YIKES!
JLynn Conner No Thanks, mind your head doesn't fall off when you are looking up.
Thx i live there
Need Webb telescope
yes this is very beautiful
This was amazing
Thanks! Lovely lesson
Fascinating
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 loved this vid!!
Wow this is the best video I’ve seen explaining constellations
I gave Orion a wee salute tonight from the UK.X
Loved it
Fantastic Content
The best way to find stars thanks a lot
Very interesting. Thanks
I'm looking forward to other constellation specific videos. Particularly the ones which are visible in both hemesphiares.
thank you so much for such an informative video
Very good elaborative explanation
I distinctly remember that in an unrelated TH-cam 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"...
Even Polaris could be seen slightly south of the equator.
VERY INFORMATIVE
6:00 -- The "futuristic spaceship" seems to be experiencing some navigational problems.
Thankyou,,,,nice job.best wishes.
excellent lecture
I still look these stars from far since my childhood and seeking something.
Thank You
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.
Welcome to the universe, Narasimha! I hope that you will have as much fun exploring it as I have had.
Thank you very much 🌞🌞🌞
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.
Subscribed because of this video
Feroz Ahmad why is Orion upside brown in the Southern Hemisphere
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
Its his belt not waist dots
Man it is comfy here
what telescope could be used to see a clear view of orion nebula at lowest cost?
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
@@philipgerlach7074 i find Orion the warrior much easier maybe its where im.located and the times i go outside
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
Which star what location
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?
Extremely good nice mythology
Was god mentioned? That's the usual mythological nonsense that some people insist is how the stars were formed!
I saw a Orion in the sky at night when I look up
And the bull and also the libra
What I have been staring at half of my life was beautiful stars
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.
What are you talking about? it's not like it has moved much in a human lifetime lol
But I guess you're just one of those idiots.
DRUGS make it move??..I see.
But his shoulders gonna explode
Yap it is my new year resolution to learn about stars. Greetings from Tanzania
Hello, Catherine, thanks for watching. And yes, make sure that you do take some time to learn the stars, it's a worthwhile goal for sure!

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).
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.
Nice video, could you please tell me how to get this background music?
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 🙏
Thanks for your feedback, Joyleen! I hope to visit Australia and check out the night sky from your part of the world.
Do you call Orion's sword the little dipper?
NO MAN IM LITERALLY THE LEG BETELGEUSE IS THE SHOULDER
AND HOW IS HIS BELT THE BIG DIPPER?
How is it that Scott and his followers with cellphone cameras capture things that all the professional and amateur astronomers with telescopes never see?
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)
Thanks pal
Oops. I always pronounced it as 'Beetlejuice' as well.
Cool...i like that.
A lot of astronomers pronounce it that way also. In this case, I think it is OK to pronounce it either way.
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?
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
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.
Obrigado
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?
@Darrell Heath you bet they're as precious as family members lol.
Yes, I studied Astronomy and Love Orions belt!🤔
Timely
TNX
Thanks sir I got which I need for star gazing
The star is 642 LY away, not 430 LY. How did that happen?
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?
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.
I'm sorry, not quite sure that I understand your comment correctly. One thing I should point out is that the stars that make up a constellation (and the deep sky objects located within in them) often have no physical relationship to one another, it is all pretty much a line of sight effect that makes us perceive them as such.
Dr. Heath. I seem to remember you from years ago. Did you work as a lab assistant in the Biology Dept in the 1990's ? I graduated from UALR, but you probably dont remember me. Anyway, it seems nobody remembers the Andromeda Galaxy being where I thought it was. Oh well. Take care.
I'm afraid the Andromeda Galaxy is where it's always been within the constellation of Andromeda. While it is true that galaxies move (and the Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards us at the rate of 68 miles per second) the distances that separate them from us is so vast that such movements are not discernible within a single human lifetime. Indeed, often times not even over the course of thousands of years.
Your memory does serve you well though otherwise! I did TA courses in vertebrate zoology, mammalogy, and herpetology back in the day. Take care and thanks for the query!
Oh look, it's another moron who thinks he knows shit about the universe.
...and by the way here in Brazil people refer the Orion Belt as "3 Marias"
@Joshua Jung Oh you poor atheist who just thinks he's a piece of meat that will rot away and *has no human spirit/soul..* Oh well.. if that's how you see it..
@Joshua Jung From Down Under,
so what's up? You goin through a bad time?! What bad thing has a Catholic recently done to you?!
@Joshua Jung hahaha... I don't believe you!
And both you and I know that's not true.. See you're just another atheist "no doubt a progressive" that HATES Christians/Catholics... Why do you fools always go after them?! Why don't you go after Islam?! Oh wait that would be "racist, in-politically correct" 🙄..
And Islam is not a race.
@Joshua Jung Mum? So you're not American.. What are you British or an Aussie like me?
@Joshua Jung So you are British..
Thanks i have understood where is Orion
Новое оно всегда что то новое.
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
Thanks ! I kinda got it wrong ! I seen the young star clusters below the belt and my friend said oh ! Thats the beehive cluster then later that evening said he could seen Andromeda but told me to look a few degrees east of orion ! 😂
I live there
at 10:057 there is a mistake Castor and Pollux are upsidedown
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.
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.
Thank You Darrell!....
Are We Saiph... "ooopppps" Safe? It and the Star to its left(Canis Major?) seems to be flickering in the night sky, here in 2020!
Are We and Our neighbors travelling thru an area of the "Cosmic Electrified Web," where increased or varied levels of Proton Charge is being generated in the "Vacuum of Space" or more accurately "The Universe"? 🌎⚡🙈
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.
Thanks for your query! Not quite sure what object you were seeing but many stars will twinkle madly when seen low along the horizon. This is because when we look at objects low in the sky we are also looking through a much thicker layer of atmosphere and atmospheric disturbances can make stars twinkle. A lot. Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky (and located down and to the left of Orion's belt) is notorious for putting on a flickering/pulsating show when it is very low in the sky.
Thank you, this was my question, too! I am in Northern Germany, in the last November days I saw a huge star on the left a little bit lower than Orion. It was so big, I thought if it was Jupiter, but Jupiter was located in the East, if I remember right, and this was South/Southwest. I thought now, too, it must have been Sirius. Thank you! And have a blessed Christmas time! I LOVED the video!
it is sirius i think. thank you so much. now i just have to figure out what the one was on the opposite side of the sky.
other one is antares.. your video has solved the mystery for me. thank you.
@@darrellheath9776 DUDE SIRIUS IS IN CANIS MAJOR
2020, now the est. For Bettejuice is about 700 light years, I think?
For me the figure appearing in the constellation Orion looks similar to a gladiator with a shield and sword.
Im his leg
I’m gonna get a tattoo of the Orion constellation on my right shoulder in hopefully a month or so. Also, Orion is my middle name. :)
My sons middle name is Orion. After the Constellation
Man my name is Rigel/Beta and i live in Orion
Scott really should expand his channel, perhaps Planet X, Unicorns and Bigfoot. That should get him even more subs :)
Orion, home of the archangels.
Why am I craving Aldebaran Whiskey now?
Easy to find even in light polluted skies. Orion.
man did you get that distance wrong Betelgeuse is actually 642.5 light years away, I am surprised nobody caught that mistake.
Os senhores cientistas, não sabe dos mistérios das galáxias e constelações etc.
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.
