00:18.390 --> 00:22.560
season without Giants or time on the
quiet sky

00:22.560 --> 00:27.500
greetings greetings fellow stargazers
I'm james oberg director this Kika

00:27.500 --> 00:29.710
Silverpop planetarium in Gainesville
Florida

00:29.710 --> 00:33.100
19 reas astronomer for the Cincinnati
Observatory

00:33.100 --> 00:36.379
if you're one of those people who loves
the change in seasons

00:36.379 --> 00:39.610
have you ever wondered whether the sky
changes seasons to

00:39.610 --> 00:42.680
if so stick with us because and this
episode

00:42.680 --> 00:46.500
will let you in on some other secrets at
the season's and how you can

00:46.500 --> 00:50.120
double up your pleasure by not only
watching the face of the earth change

00:50.120 --> 00:50.620
season


00:50.620 --> 00:54.250
but also by watching the face up the
night sky change as well

00:54.250 --> 00:58.690
and will give you a heads up about a
planet star rendezvous that happens

00:58.690 --> 01:02.989
only every other year let's show you EC


01:02.989 --> 01:07.340
all has to do with our Earth's yearly
journey in its orbit around the Sun

01:07.340 --> 01:11.770
because as our earth orbits the Sun
you'll see a slightly different part the

01:11.770 --> 01:12.810
starry sky


01:12.810 --> 01:17.509
each successive evening that is if you
go outside every night after sunset for

01:17.509 --> 01:18.979
a year and look up


01:18.979 --> 01:22.940
you'll notice that the various
constellations slowly but steadily shift

01:22.940 --> 01:24.940
their positions in the heavens a little
bit

01:24.940 --> 01:29.440
West for each night a given star pattern
will first appear low in the east

01:29.440 --> 01:33.619
and then gradually become very prominent
and high up in early evening

01:33.619 --> 01:36.679
and then we'll continue that slow shift
westward

01:36.679 --> 01:39.690
and then completely disappear from the
heavens now

01:39.690 --> 01:43.240
when astronomers talk about sky seasons
they mean that the particular star

01:43.240 --> 01:43.880
patterns


01:43.880 --> 01:48.420
or constellations %uh that season are
those that are high above the horizon in

01:48.420 --> 01:52.450
early evening hours during a given
season for instance

01:52.450 --> 01:55.479
and summer time we know that the great
summer triangle

01:55.479 --> 01:59.729
and the giant scorpion are always very
high and Dominic and early evening

01:59.729 --> 02:00.789
summer skies


02:00.789 --> 02:05.550
and in winter in early evening the giant
a Ryan and his dog

02:05.550 --> 02:08.669
always ride high and dominate winters
landscape

02:08.669 --> 02:12.050
springtime always has its wonderful Leo
the Lion

02:12.050 --> 02:15.050
and the Big Dipper towering over head in
early evening

02:15.050 --> 02:18.079
but there's one season when the sky
becomes quiet

02:18.079 --> 02:21.209
a season when there are fewer bright
stars visible than

02:21.209 --> 02:25.380
any other time of the year and quite
appropriately I think that season is

02:25.380 --> 02:25.810
autumn


02:25.810 --> 02:29.430
the season when earth to is quieting
down a season

02:29.430 --> 02:33.620
muted Sun and muted starlight a season
without social Giants

02:33.620 --> 02:38.750
the season up the soft sky and if you do
what I'm about to show you on

02:38.750 --> 02:42.909
at least one evening in autumn every
autumn for the rest of your life

02:42.909 --> 02:47.459
your add yet another dimension to your
enjoyment and the exquisite fields

02:47.459 --> 02:52.019
that autumn brings simply go outside any
autumn evening just

02:52.019 --> 02:56.120
after the Sun has gone down and look for
the Giants summer scorpion

02:56.120 --> 02:59.409
with his break reddish orange heart star
Antares

02:59.409 --> 03:03.480
as they get ready to set low in the
southwest this year

03:03.480 --> 03:06.530
there's an additional point and white
just above Antares

03:06.530 --> 03:10.250
it's the reddish orange planet Mars
which the Greeks named

03:10.250 --> 03:14.859
Aires their God of War it's commonly
stated that the harder the Scorpion and

03:14.859 --> 03:15.469
Tyrese


03:15.469 --> 03:20.099
was named as the rival varies because
they appear so much alike in the sky

03:20.099 --> 03:24.499
mars passes close to in Terry's roughly
every two years

03:24.499 --> 03:28.530
because in Terry's lies just south on
the path to the plants

03:28.530 --> 03:32.590
this coming Monday September 29 be sure
to catch mars

03:32.590 --> 03:37.290
in a crescent moon in line with the in
Terry's Mars will come back to alignment

03:37.290 --> 03:38.459
with the in Terry's in


03:38.459 --> 03:41.510
August up 20-16 and next time


03:41.510 --> 03:46.909
Saturn will be right there to make it
even bet so be sure to get out and watch

03:46.909 --> 03:47.650
in Terry's


03:47.650 --> 03:51.340
mars and the moon next week watchin
terry's Inmarsat

03:51.340 --> 03:54.819
as the evening goes along then in the
hours before midnight

03:54.819 --> 03:58.810
you'll see for yourself the softer
subscribers with a minimum a bright

03:58.810 --> 03:59.430
stars


03:59.430 --> 04:03.790
a time when you'll be able to delight in
the exquisite beauty up to seven sisters

04:03.790 --> 04:04.349
rising


04:04.349 --> 04:09.659
then around midnight autumn skies will
slowly give way to a preview of winter

04:09.659 --> 04:14.099
as a ride the winter giant boldly rises
in the southeast

04:14.099 --> 04:18.488
how fitting how poetic at the sky
seasons coincidentally match

04:18.488 --> 04:21.529
are Earth's as regular as clockwork


04:21.529 --> 04:26.010
yes every October of your life summer
scorpion will set at sunset

04:26.010 --> 04:29.810
and wenches Orion mall eyes at midnight
and hours in between

04:29.810 --> 04:32.980
will be the power to the slideshow
impressions cell

04:32.980 --> 04:37.080
get outside under the heavens softly and
remember to

04:37.080 --> 04:52.650
keep looking up


04:52.650 --> 04:57.650
well me
