I was taking a picture of the upper part of Sagittarius (the teapot asterism) and I was amazed by the nebulae and star clusters near it. However, one stood out, which is M24. I tried to look deeper, and then searched pictures similar to what I took, turns out the center of the Milkyway is located right where my camera was pointing to. I was astonished, as it was my first Milkyway photo captured ever. I enhanced it in photoshop and the milkyway stood out. I am planning on capturing it again, but the weather doesn't seem to agree with me.
I just discovered your channel.It is wonderful.I discovered the sky when I was a night watchman.I found an old National Geographic map of The Heavens.I watched the constellations rise up from the eastern horizon as if out of the ancient Ocean. Your channel is what I have always looked for.Thank you.
Loved the video. Stellar job, pun intended :) Please dont stop making these videos. Loved the teapot finding exercise (never going to miss it in the sky now), detailed map of the objects in the constellation, details on the individual objects. A good addition to the video would be how to star hop to these objects and to other interesting objects and constellations. Where the open clusters and globular clusters (in halo) are found was something very interesting to learn.
Really love this video. The teapot is easy to find in the sky here in Virginia during the month of December... !!! Again, thank you for this wonderful video. !!!
Sagittarius can be easily identified roughly as a question mark pointing west. Scorpio constellation, dead essy to identify, is to its west. Btw, there r some other constellation for easy identification eg Orion, Ursa Major, Corvus etc.
A dark sky sanctuary are areas of land that have exceptional starry nights. They are often far away from sources of light pollution. Check out this website for more info: www.darksky.org/our-work/conservation/idsp/sanctuaries/ My hope with doing this channel is to educate more people about the constellations so there is a movement to protect our night skies. With the rise in population, and the additional of LED lights in cities, dark skies are hard to come by these days. Thanks for watching!
I live on Vancouver Island and Sagittarius is way down low in the sky in the southeast direction. I was wondering if you knew where in the world you could stand and look up and see the constellation in the centre of the sky? I was thinking maybe Hawaii??
Hello. Yes, Hawaii was the first place I observed Sagittarius in its entirety. I was able to see it in Pennsylvania were I grew up, but it was always close to the horizon. When I have observed it in Hawaii (the Big Island in particular), the skies are exceptionally dark, so the Milky Way was clearly visible as well.
This rules, because my 👵🏻 is born under Sagittarius. My late 🐕, Bonnie was born under the same thing. I thought that Chiron was the enemy of Scorpio, because he shoots his 🏹 at the 🦂's 💙.
Many of the star names are in Arabic because the most ancient observations that were recorded originated in that arena. There are a few star names that are Latin, but most are in Arabic.
Yes. I’m not sure of your exact longitude, but India ranges from 8 degrees to 35 degrees latitude (northern hemisphere). Sagittarius would be visible from that range. August is a great time to see it.
Hello, Yes, you should be able to see this in India during the summer months. It sits right in the Milky Way band across the sky, so look in that region to help you find it. It is also sitting close to Scorpius, which is fairly easy to ID. There is a website I use called in-the-sky.org/ and I like it because you can put your location into the website, and it will show you what the sky looks like in your own location.

♐️ Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
Nope
what a great presentation of Sagittarius! Thank you.
I'm a bit more familiar to star constellation thanks to Beyblade (its beys are named after constellations), in this case it's Kenta's bey Sagittario.
That was well done! Thank you for the knowledge.
I saw Sagittario last week! It was awesome! I also saw the scorpion yesterday.

Thank you so much for what you do. I love your channel!
this is amazing. i can find it now on my own. great examples and reference points!!! thank you
I'm so glad you can find it! It is one of my favorite constellations to view with binoculars. There are so many objects to spot in it.
@@learnthesky Hey btw I have been trying to find an episode that show scorpious and how to find it. do you have an episode about that one?
Adam Chiasson I am almost done researching it. I’ll post the link here when I’m finished.
@@adamchiasson1774 Finished my video on Scorpius as promised: th-cam.com/video/Cg_xDGbNqss/w-d-xo.html
@@learnthesky Hey I said the New Hoizons spacecraft is in your favorite constellation.😡😡😡😡
Subscribed. This is a severely underrated channel. Amazing videos!
Great video

Teapot!!!! ❤❤❤
Beautifully explained it!! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for making this! Really helped me on finding notes on Sagittarius for my science presentation :D
I'm glad this was helpful!
Me too
On the other side of the Milky way opposite where Sagittarius is there is a black shape looks like a bird with a long tail or am I seeing things ?
notice that if look at the end of the teapot you see an other asterism call the milk dipper

New horizons is in that consellation.😡😡😡😡😡
What direction are we looking to see it?
Look south.
@@learnthesky Thank you so much!♐
Sooooo beautiful!!!! This constellation is very very rich.

Also in Fiji you can have a clear view in the center of the sky
Thanks!

A spacecraft pioneer 11 is heading to the constellation of sagittarius.
Thank you for the wonderful explanation! The teapot is definitely a useful asterism.
wheres Sgr A*
Fantastic
Thank you. It is very helpful. And the exercise are great.
I wish you had used Scorpio as a reference in the sky. It would have been easier to find it.
I believe it was nimrod the hunter and ruler of the Babylonian era
Who disliked the video??????!!!!!!!?
No I don't
Great information video. Thanks
why are all the stars named in arabic?
Many of the star names are in Arabic because the most ancient observations that were recorded originated in that arena. There are a few star names that are Latin, but most are in Arabic.
Many star names are in Arabic because much of modern day observational astronomy originated in Arabia.
@@learnthesky etymology in the Babylonian Empire as well as Mesopotamia

How come?
Can I see it from India??
