1
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:22,560
season without Giants or time on the
 
quiet sky

2
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,500
greetings greetings fellow stargazers
 
I'm james oberg director this Kika

3
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:29,710
Silverpop planetarium in Gainesville
 
Florida

4
00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:33,100
19 reas astronomer for the Cincinnati
 
Observatory

5
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,379
if you're one of those people who loves
 
the change in seasons

6
00:00:36,379 --> 00:00:39,610
have you ever wondered whether the sky
 
changes seasons to

7
00:00:39,610 --> 00:00:42,680
if so stick with us because and this
 
episode

8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,500
will let you in on some other secrets at
 
the season's and how you can

9
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,120
double up your pleasure by not only
 
watching the face of the earth change

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,620
season

11
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:54,250
but also by watching the face up the
 
night sky change as well

12
00:00:54,250 --> 00:00:58,690
and will give you a heads up about a
 
planet star rendezvous that happens

13
00:00:58,690 --> 00:01:02,989
only every other year let's show you EC

14
00:01:02,989 --> 00:01:07,340
all has to do with our Earth's yearly
 
journey in its orbit around the Sun

15
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:11,770
because as our earth orbits the Sun
 
you'll see a slightly different part the

16
00:01:11,770 --> 00:01:12,810
starry sky

17
00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:17,509
each successive evening that is if you
 
go outside every night after sunset for

18
00:01:17,509 --> 00:01:18,979
a year and look up

19
00:01:18,979 --> 00:01:22,940
you'll notice that the various
 
constellations slowly but steadily shift

20
00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:24,940
their positions in the heavens a little
 
bit

21
00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:29,440
West for each night a given star pattern
 
will first appear low in the east

22
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,619
and then gradually become very prominent
 
and high up in early evening

23
00:01:33,619 --> 00:01:36,679
and then we'll continue that slow shift
 
westward

24
00:01:36,679 --> 00:01:39,690
and then completely disappear from the
 
heavens now

25
00:01:39,690 --> 00:01:43,240
when astronomers talk about sky seasons
 
they mean that the particular star

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,880
patterns

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,420
or constellations %uh that season are
 
those that are high above the horizon in

28
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:52,450
early evening hours during a given
 
season for instance

29
00:01:52,450 --> 00:01:55,479
and summer time we know that the great
 
summer triangle

30
00:01:55,479 --> 00:01:59,729
and the giant scorpion are always very
 
high and Dominic and early evening

31
00:01:59,729 --> 00:02:00,789
summer skies

32
00:02:00,789 --> 00:02:05,550
and in winter in early evening the giant
 
a Ryan and his dog

33
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:08,669
always ride high and dominate winters
 
landscape

34
00:02:08,669 --> 00:02:12,050
springtime always has its wonderful Leo
 
the Lion

35
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:15,050
and the Big Dipper towering over head in
 
early evening

36
00:02:15,050 --> 00:02:18,079
but there's one season when the sky
 
becomes quiet

37
00:02:18,079 --> 00:02:21,209
a season when there are fewer bright
 
stars visible than

38
00:02:21,209 --> 00:02:25,380
any other time of the year and quite
 
appropriately I think that season is

39
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:25,810
autumn

40
00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:29,430
the season when earth to is quieting
 
down a season

41
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:33,620
muted Sun and muted starlight a season
 
without social Giants

42
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:38,750
the season up the soft sky and if you do
 
what I'm about to show you on

43
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:42,909
at least one evening in autumn every
 
autumn for the rest of your life

44
00:02:42,909 --> 00:02:47,459
your add yet another dimension to your
 
enjoyment and the exquisite fields

45
00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:52,019
that autumn brings simply go outside any
 
autumn evening just

46
00:02:52,019 --> 00:02:56,120
after the Sun has gone down and look for
 
the Giants summer scorpion

47
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,409
with his break reddish orange heart star
 
Antares

48
00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:03,480
as they get ready to set low in the
 
southwest this year

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,530
there's an additional point and white
 
just above Antares

50
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:10,250
it's the reddish orange planet Mars
 
which the Greeks named

51
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:14,859
Aires their God of War it's commonly
 
stated that the harder the Scorpion and

52
00:03:14,859 --> 00:03:15,469
Tyrese

53
00:03:15,469 --> 00:03:20,099
was named as the rival varies because
 
they appear so much alike in the sky

54
00:03:20,099 --> 00:03:24,499
mars passes close to in Terry's roughly
 
every two years

55
00:03:24,499 --> 00:03:28,530
because in Terry's lies just south on
 
the path to the plants

56
00:03:28,530 --> 00:03:32,590
this coming Monday September 29 be sure
 
to catch mars

57
00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:37,290
in a crescent moon in line with the in
 
Terry's Mars will come back to alignment

58
00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:38,459
with the in Terry's in

59
00:03:38,459 --> 00:03:41,510
August up 20-16 and next time

60
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:46,909
Saturn will be right there to make it
 
even bet so be sure to get out and watch

61
00:03:46,909 --> 00:03:47,650
in Terry's

62
00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:51,340
mars and the moon next week watchin
 
terry's Inmarsat

63
00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:54,819
as the evening goes along then in the
 
hours before midnight

64
00:03:54,819 --> 00:03:58,810
you'll see for yourself the softer
 
subscribers with a minimum a bright

65
00:03:58,810 --> 00:03:59,430
stars

66
00:03:59,430 --> 00:04:03,790
a time when you'll be able to delight in
 
the exquisite beauty up to seven sisters

67
00:04:03,790 --> 00:04:04,349
rising

68
00:04:04,349 --> 00:04:09,659
then around midnight autumn skies will
 
slowly give way to a preview of winter

69
00:04:09,659 --> 00:04:14,099
as a ride the winter giant boldly rises
 
in the southeast

70
00:04:14,099 --> 00:04:18,488
how fitting how poetic at the sky
 
seasons coincidentally match

71
00:04:18,488 --> 00:04:21,529
are Earth's as regular as clockwork

72
00:04:21,529 --> 00:04:26,010
yes every October of your life summer
 
scorpion will set at sunset

73
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:29,810
and wenches Orion mall eyes at midnight
 
and hours in between

74
00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:32,980
will be the power to the slideshow
 
impressions cell

75
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:37,080
get outside under the heavens softly and
 
remember to

76
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:52,650
keep looking up

77
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:57,650
well me
