Orion Constellation Video-Astronomy

Learn the night sky with an 8-minute astronomical tour of the constellation Orion, the Hunter, with tips on how to find and recognize it-and then use Orion to find other constellations around it. Views of the Orion Nebula (M42), the double star Mintaka, and more!
Usually thought of as a "winter" constellation, Orion is visible starting in the late summer and early fall (late night/early morning), and continuing until well into spring (soon after sunset).

Thanks, Carol. (Ironically, it's snowy here in Denver, but I can have some hot chocolate and work on a new script...) :)

Thanks Joe! :)

Nice video. If you ever do this subject again You might like to note that the outward projection of the Earth's Equator runs very close to the star Mintaka, and if you do that; the noting of the equinox, and the center of the Milky Way might be the thing.

[@thenightskywithzacharysinger]

Thanks for the comment! :) I knew about Mintaka's position (a tidbit I actually learned in high school), but there's SOOOooooo much to talk about in these videos-I always have to decide what's most important, and what (sadly) should be left out.

[@wcovey9405]

Yes, it is something of interest that no one talks about.

Can you send to me on orion conciliation star belt planets

[@zamar2158]

Good vidro. Sorry I have to point out the names of the star and how to pronounce them.
Bayt-al-guys - house of the twins , in Arabic. Not betel juice.
Sayeef (king), rajool -feet. Al neetak, Al neelam, mintaka. All names in arabic. TQ.

[@thenightskywithzacharysinger]

Hi Bella, thanks for your input... Let's be careful with claiming the "right" pronounciation(s) of star names (or anything else). Leaving Arabic origins aside for just a moment, consider the way different Americans say the English word, "creek." Where I come from, it's said with a long "E," so it would appear phonetically more or less as written-but I know folks from other parts of the country that say, "crick." They are not wrong! Similarly, the pronunciation for the city of "Los Angeles" is clearly altered from its original Spanish, in which the Spanish "g" would sound more like an English "h" than an English "j"... Californians don't roll their "Rs" when they say "Sierra Nevada," and the vowels are different, too. And so forth. In short, star names work the same way, and I'm sticking with the pronunciation used by (American) English speakers, especially since many of the names are not direct translations from Arabic; more like names that evolved from it across the centuries. (Ok, just for fun, consider this-it's not just star names that have this issue in astronomy. There's the Maksutov telescope, which I've always heard in the US as "MAK-su-tov"-that is, until I heard some well-respected Russian optical designers mention his name: "Mak-SU-tof.") Cheers! :)
