1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:19,420
the

2
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:23,130
two queens in the morning light and
 
watch the Wanderers

3
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:27,320
hey there stargazers I'm james oberg
 
director the key to Silverpop

4
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,960
planetarium in Gainesville Florida

5
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,110
and on dinner I guess stronger for the
 
Cincinnati Observatory

6
00:00:32,110 --> 00:00:36,300
the brilliant planet Venus has dominated
 
the morning sky for most of this year

7
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,559
and soon a skinny crescent moon is going
 
to snuggle right up next to be nice

8
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:44,210
be sure to go out before dawn Sunday May
 
25th and look

9
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:49,300
east to find the moon just above beans a
 
great chance to use the moon as a finder

10
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,830
for identifying a plant let's show you

11
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:55,159
okay we have our sky set up facing

12
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:58,860
East before dawn next week and almost
 
exactly do

13
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:03,439
East about a just above the horizon Hill
 
easily spot a very bright point white

14
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,720
the planet Venus penis has been in the
 
morning sky since January

15
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,950
she reached her peak brightness in early
 
February has been demean slowly ever

16
00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:12,510
since

17
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:15,530
as she steadily gets farther and farther
 
away from us

18
00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:19,580
let's back up to early February and
 
notice for Venus was in the morning sky

19
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:20,390
back then

20
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:26,030
were set up to about an hour before
 
sunrise February 12 worker Venus was

21
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:29,310
she was much farther to the right in the
 
southeast

22
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:34,070
almost 40 degrees to the right heaviest
 
let's go forward in time a month to

23
00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:35,130
march twelfth

24
00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:38,979
penises shifted a little bit to the
 
north about two degrees

25
00:01:38,979 --> 00:01:42,800
now another month to april twelfth and
 
there's a big change

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,789
almost fifteen degrees more to the north
 
let's do it again another month to mate

27
00:01:47,789 --> 00:01:48,229
well

28
00:01:48,229 --> 00:01:51,440
and businesses now almost twenty degrees
 
farther north

29
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,820
what's going on here here's where it was

30
00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:58,520
at about an hour before sunrise in
 
February then in March

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,880
then in April and now in many and watch
 
how much BS will move over the next two

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,549
weeks

33
00:02:04,549 --> 00:02:07,740
May 14th May 16 may 18

34
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:10,970
May 28 hate here comes the moon May 22nd

35
00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:14,040
moon closer May 24 closer yet

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,000
and may twenty-fifth a really skinny 26
 
day old moon is about two and a half

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,730
degrees above beans

38
00:02:20,730 --> 00:02:24,810
the moon is an important part of this
 
discussion about the sideways movement

39
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:25,579
have been its

40
00:02:25,579 --> 00:02:30,819
because penis is shifting its position
 
northward about one moon with each day

41
00:02:30,819 --> 00:02:36,260
one move with is about half a degree
 
venus is sometimes called the queen of

42
00:02:36,260 --> 00:02:37,049
the planet's

43
00:02:37,049 --> 00:02:41,040
but there's another queen in this area
 
at the sky just about Venus

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,480
look up and to the left Venus in the
 
pre-dawn sky

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,209
over the next few weeks and you easily
 
pick out the zig-zag WR stars that marks

46
00:02:49,209 --> 00:02:49,900
the Queen

47
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:53,279
Cassie appear now when we say the word
 
Casio PO

48
00:02:53,279 --> 00:02:57,999
we can mean several different things it
 
could refer to these five stars making a

49
00:02:57,999 --> 00:02:59,590
kind of W in the sky

50
00:02:59,590 --> 00:03:03,019
or it could mean the astronomical
 
constellation Cassiopeia

51
00:03:03,019 --> 00:03:06,659
which is a weirdly shaped box in the sky
 
that looks like this

52
00:03:06,659 --> 00:03:09,689
remember that astronomical
 
constellations are

53
00:03:09,689 --> 00:03:15,019
arbitrarily defined areas at the sky
 
they are not all the same size or shape

54
00:03:15,019 --> 00:03:18,609
and they can be really confusing it's
 
also important to remember that the

55
00:03:18,609 --> 00:03:21,249
official constellations that astronomers
 
use

56
00:03:21,249 --> 00:03:25,510
were developed for mapping the sky and
 
we're not defined in till nineteen third

57
00:03:25,510 --> 00:03:29,439
or the word Cassie Appiah could refer to
 
the mythological

58
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:33,010
figure are the Queen a beach in ethiopia
 
at least

59
00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:37,489
that's how the Greek saw the section in
 
the sky many the consolations predate

60
00:03:37,489 --> 00:03:38,340
the Greeks and I

61
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:42,730
thousands of years old just but every
 
culture throughout history created their

62
00:03:42,730 --> 00:03:44,239
own mythological figures

63
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:48,120
and selected star patterns which they
 
used to mark them out in the sky

64
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,279
how about the evening sky we have
 
anything interesting going on

65
00:03:52,279 --> 00:03:56,219
after sunset actually we do in the
 
evening sky

66
00:03:56,219 --> 00:03:59,340
Jupiter will show you how it moves over
 
the next few weeks

67
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:03,430
we have our skies setup facing west just
 
after it starts to get dark

68
00:04:03,430 --> 00:04:08,109
jupiter is the brightest light out there
 
with the break Gemini twins Castor and

69
00:04:08,109 --> 00:04:09,139
Pollux about

70
00:04:09,139 --> 00:04:12,829
will start on May 18 and advance a week
 
at a time

71
00:04:12,829 --> 00:04:15,930
may twenty-fifth June 1st

72
00:04:15,930 --> 00:04:19,798
a four-day-old moon is nearby June a

73
00:04:19,798 --> 00:04:23,380
June 15 notice the jupiter is rapidly
 
moving

74
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:27,160
eastward in the sky from below pollack's
 
on may eighteenth

75
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,580
to nearly in line with the Stars by June
 
21st

76
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:35,680
an even closer by june 20 8 keep
 
watching each night as Jupiter in Gemini

77
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,409
will soon be lost in the glare

78
00:04:37,409 --> 00:04:52,159
some as you keeping looking up

79
00:04:52,159 --> 00:04:57,189
weld

80
00:04:57,189 --> 00:05:02,189
