Working on this right now 0724. Timely. TY
I often view many targets in Ophiuchus and have payed no attention to Serpens. (Until now that is) Thanks Janine 👍.
Thank you Janine, I never paid much attention to Serpens except to look at some globular clusters. I've always used Scorpius to get to Ophiuchus, seemed easier. I always had to travel up to Bortle 3 skies to see it without binoculars. I found my inexpensive wide field 7x50 Celestron Cometron's worked quite well to see the dimmer stars. I like looking at globular clusters and Serpens has three I know of, plus Ophiuchus has many as well. That whole area near the galactic center has globular clusters all over.
I've just come from watching night sky, and I've found Serpens together with Ophiuchus. It's really big constellation.
The Constellations of Serpens & Ophi-u-chus! 😲
Hi Janine. I was looking last night in that part of sky and seen Serpens Caput but didn't pay much mind.😢 I was too busy scanning for m24 n such. Loads n loads of stars in that area of the milky way. Thanks for all you doing here.From Cajun Country.
Aloha! There is so much to see in Serpens. I particularly love that it is home to the Eagle Nebula. I have long been obsessed with the Pillars of Creation. One day I will take that topic on.
I would love to hear about the Pillars. I can only see so much with my 6 inch lil reflector. I do enjoy the lessons and pictures very much. Can only imagine what things look like in color to normal eyes and dark skies. Clear skys to you and everyone.
Im so interested of watching the nightsky full of stars and serpent is one of favourite animal, I like snakes and I wan't find these serpents constellation. Im interested of Leo the lion constellation too because my name is Leo. Thank you for sharing these spacelarning videos these helps me a lot. 🌌
So glad I found this channel!!
Great presentation!
Thanks a lot. Continue your channel.
Yesterday with good binoculars , i noticed the Constellation Serpens , to his left the impressive Ophiuchus "helped" me to find him .Under these two, mainly Ophiuchus , the star Antares is very strongly visible ....
in ontario winter in hamilton the eye of snake is in east 830pm moves to sw by 3am then dips below the horizon. this February 2024
Ive not been able to see it yet. One day;;when i get really dark skies.
But this is amazing info Janine. Thanks so much. This could also be the healing staff of Moses from the Bible. It was🎉 a serpent raised up on a cross that healed the people when they were being attacked by deadly snakes in the desert.
I find these mythologies so enriching and wonderfully helpful in my star gazing journey.
Thanks so much again🥰🥰
Yes, I see the Moses connection! What I love about learning the mythologies is how they are similar, yet different. I especially love when cultures that are geographically separated have similar stories. It is all so fascinating.
I was looking at M5 in Serpens in March and a frost formed on my sleeping bag!I reckon that you can just get M5 naked eye.Easy in my 2x40 wide field binoculars.
I've seen M5 with the naked eye, but only when I view it from Hawaii. Thank you for sharing.
Serpents and ophiuchus together look like a walking camel. A new asterism. Thanks and I promote your videos all the time!
I appreciate your support! 😁
Is this constellation ever seen with Gemini?
No. They are out at different times of the year.
Again, Ophiuchus is not a part of the zodiac, even through it stand on the ecliptic. The zodiac is a Greek/Roman this with only twelve houses or temples, there is not a thirteenth house or temple. Ophiuchus is special. Do you know the way, if so, you do not have understanding.
From the lens of an astronomer, Ophiuchus can be classified as a zodiacal constellation because the ecliptic passes through it. I recognize it is not part of the astrological zodiac. My focus on this channel astronomy, not astrology.
Agreed astronomically Ophiucus is on the Zodiacal line (the feet) united with Serpens. Under the latest Égyptian dynasties the lybian'ones (Psammetic and others Black Pharaoh) . Ptolemee Sôter the Greek for mercantile and personnal reason divided Ophiucus from Serpens caput and caudae.
