    It's amazing to see the Southern Cross I live in the Northern Hemisphere we have Polaris ,but in general the stars in the Southern Hemisphere are amazing.

    Love your videos. Out of curiosity what was "So good" at 15:20?

      I forgot to clip that audio out and I never realized! I sometimes compliment myself when I have a good take. 😂

    TQ for your video. I learned so much. How do I search for Sigma Octantis, the southern star which is opposite of Polaris. Most app don't even show this star. Or can I find by constellation and what constellation. At least i can approximate my camera and point to that direction for a circular star trails. Tks

    I live up the top end of northern England and I reckon that Corona Australis must clear my southern horizon as it's a similar latitude to Formalhault in the other Austrinus, Pisces Austrinus, and I can get Formalhault no problem.A number of factors however would be working against me;1/the magnitude of CA's stars,2/it's in my thickest light pollution (obviously I can get to other darker places so that is a movable feast!),3/the time of year as it still isn't properly dark in August .I have seen CA during living in and visiting the Southern Hemisphere many times but never thought about looking for it from up here.

    I wonder if maybe one day you can do a video on the origins of the star pattern markings and how they came about. Many of these don't really resemble what the constellation is supposed to resemble. Who came up with these and why didn't they make some of these star patterns look more like what the constellation is supposed to represent? I mean look at Sagittarius' star pattern. One could draw lines between those stars to make it look like an archer drawing his bow, but what these lines draw out is a mess and doesn't look like an archer at all. Meanwhile...Leo's star pattern, looks like a lion. These star pattern lines just always confuse the heck out of me. It would be fun to see you address this in a video. Love your content! Keep up the good work!

      I talk about this a lot when I teach my students. They are always so confused about why there are so many different patterns. I can try to address this in a video, but I’m not sure I am really answer a lot of the questions.

      @@learnthesky I'm referring to the line patterns in the star charts. Guess I'm just curious what organisation determined those particular line markings and maybe what their thinking on some of them were. Maybe there is no data out there to research on this topic. Some of them are just strange when they don't have to be.

      Different cultures, their religions, legends and myths. And probably hallucinogens. It never fails.

    Can you see the southern cross in the USA?

    • @harry_page
      @harry_page ปีที่แล้ว

      I think only in the most southerly island of Hawaii. It's because the Southern Cross constellation Crux extends down to -70 degrees declination, meaning the entirety of it can only be seen south of 20 degrees north latitude. All of mainland US is north of that.

    Corona Australis the Southern Crown!? I thought, Corona Borealis is the only constellation star that represents a crown.

    Keep in mind that stars are under water. No joke check out star in a jar scientific experiment.
