00:01.180 --> 00:20.560
web


00:20.560 --> 00:24.700
a late-night lineup hey there stargazers


00:24.700 --> 00:28.630
I'm james oberg director the key cassava
pa planetarium in Gainesville Florida

00:28.630 --> 00:31.869
and in re yes astronomer for the
Cincinnati Observatory

00:31.869 --> 00:36.210
we're here to help you find your way
around the sky we know that the stars

00:36.210 --> 00:38.390
have summer don't come out until late at
night

00:38.390 --> 00:42.750
but when you do get out there under the
stars you'll be rewarded with a major

00:42.750 --> 00:45.370
celestial lineup that's right thing


00:45.370 --> 00:49.640
two planets and two stars will form a
conga line in the southern sky

00:49.640 --> 00:53.409
plus the moon will salsa through the
heavily dance next week

00:53.409 --> 00:57.699
but see our salsa James that such a bad
not too bad

00:57.699 --> 01:01.920
and maybe just maybe you can catch it
paving glimpse are the largest planet in

01:01.920 --> 01:02.790
the Solar System


01:02.790 --> 01:06.250
before waltzes of into the sunset all
that show you

01:06.250 --> 01:11.189
okay we have our sky set to any night
this week at 10 p.m.

01:11.189 --> 01:15.760
facing west let's find are fading planet
before it leaves the evening sky

01:15.760 --> 01:20.460
it may be fading but it is still bright
I'm talking about the planet jupiter

01:20.460 --> 01:23.810
and you can see it just above the
western horizon after sunset

01:23.810 --> 01:28.009
duper is still the brightest object in
the nighttime sky right now

01:28.009 --> 01:32.049
other than the moon in a few short weeks
from our view on earth

01:32.049 --> 01:35.270
Jibril past behind the Sun and disappear
from our

01:35.270 --> 01:39.549
evening skies and then a few weeks later
it'll pop out in the morning skies

01:39.549 --> 01:42.969
just before sunrise now let's get to the
lineup

01:42.969 --> 01:46.859
we're facing south at 11 p.m. and is
Sunday June

01:46.859 --> 01:50.520
a let's highlight the four brightest
star like object

01:50.520 --> 01:54.049
who the moon is next to one of them on
June

01:54.049 --> 01:58.600
8 that is but it'll move throughout the
next week these four bright stars

01:58.600 --> 02:02.259
actually two stars and two planets from
left to right

02:02.259 --> 02:07.259
or east-west they are and Taris the Red
Star marking the heart up Scorpius the

02:07.259 --> 02:07.960
Scorpion


02:07.960 --> 02:12.260
then comes the beautiful red planet
Saturn the one next to the moon is spike

02:12.260 --> 02:12.580
a


02:12.580 --> 02:16.800
the brightest star in the constellation
Virgo the maiden and left in Pine

02:16.800 --> 02:20.740
is the ruby red planet %uh war mars to
keep them straight

02:20.740 --> 02:24.230
remember they're lined up star planet
star

02:24.230 --> 02:29.670
plant and Tyrese is one of the largest
stars in our corner the Galaxy

02:29.670 --> 02:34.200
is a red supergiant about 620 late years
for Merck

02:34.200 --> 02:37.310
if we put our son next and Tyrese a


02:37.310 --> 02:41.070
I don't think our screen is big enough
but can you see that little dot

02:41.070 --> 02:45.480
that is our star the Sun next to the
giant heart on the Scorpion

02:45.480 --> 02:48.510
and tarts now let's hop over to the next


02:48.510 --> 02:51.640
object in our lineup beautiful
breathtaking fatter

02:51.640 --> 02:55.230
to they can I someone looks like an
ordinary yellow star

02:55.230 --> 02:58.720
is brighter than Antares but not nearly
as bright as your

02:58.720 --> 03:03.360
that's because Saturn is far from us
about twice as far as Jupiter

03:03.360 --> 03:07.750
but when you look through even a modest
telescope then you can behold saturns

03:07.750 --> 03:08.420
glory


03:08.420 --> 03:13.340
how those rings over 200,000 miles from
tip to tip

03:13.340 --> 03:16.470
saturns huge way bigger than here


03:16.470 --> 03:20.900
but compared to our son and Antares its
at tiny gem in the bath

03:20.900 --> 03:26.260
space you've probably been seeing spike
a and Mars in the nighttime sky for the

03:26.260 --> 03:27.440
past two months


03:27.440 --> 03:30.930
back in April they appeared much closer
together but now

03:30.930 --> 03:34.900
they're separated by almost 13 to greet
keep an eye on these two

03:34.900 --> 03:39.870
because as June continues Mars will
again get closer and closer to spike

03:39.870 --> 03:44.130
each night and on the night of July 13th
Mars will be just a little

03:44.130 --> 03:49.160
over one degree from spike and that's
why this lineup this week is so special

03:49.160 --> 03:53.300
with both mars and Saturn wandering
around it won't last for long

03:53.300 --> 03:57.300
speak and wondering what's the move
going to do this week

03:57.300 --> 04:01.200
well June aight that'll be near spike a
on June 9

04:01.200 --> 04:05.120
ill have shifted closer to stagger then
on June 10

04:05.120 --> 04:08.230
the moon will be on the other side
Saturn and june eleventh

04:08.230 --> 04:12.100
ill be above and Tyrese so as darkness
falls this week

04:12.100 --> 04:15.220
look for Jupiter in the western sky
later

04:15.220 --> 04:19.199
after the rest in starr's pop out look
south for the conga line of stars and

04:19.199 --> 04:20.690
planets remember


04:20.690 --> 04:24.400
that it goes star planet star plant
Antares

04:24.400 --> 04:28.690
Satter spike a and Mark there's a lot to
see this week when you

04:28.690 --> 04:52.919
keep looking up


04:52.919 --> 04:57.919
ok
