A FLYING HORSE AND ANOTHER LUNAR LEAPFROG!

00:23.056 --> 00:25.091 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
WELCOME TO STAR GAZERS.

00:25.191 --> 00:28.928 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
I'M JAMES ALBURY, DIRECTOR OF THE KIKA SILVA
PLA PLANETARIUM IN GAINESVILLE FLORIDA.

00:29.029 --> 00:30.697 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
AND I'M DEAN REGAS, ASTRONOMER FROM

00:30.797 --> 00:32.599 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
THE CINCINNATI OBSERVATORY.

00:32.699 --> 00:35.535 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY AROUND
THE SKY!

00:35.635 --> 00:40.807 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
IF YOU'RE A FAN OF HORSES AND PECULIAR STAR
NAMES, HAVE WE GOT A SHOW FOR YOU!

00:40.907 --> 00:43.443 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
PLUS, WE HAVE ANOTHER LEAPFROG BETWEEN

00:43.543 --> 00:46.646 align:left position:82.5% line:89% size:7.5%
THE MOON JUPITER AND SATURN NEXT WEEK.

00:46.746 --> 00:48.181 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

00:48.281 --> 00:49.449 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
LETS SHOW YOU!

00:49.549 --> 00:52.385 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
OK, WE HAVE OUR SKIES SET UP FOR AN HOUR AFTER

00:52.485 --> 00:54.554 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
SUNSET,
FACING EAST.

00:54.654 --> 00:57.924 align:left position:77.5% line:89% size:12.5%
PEGASUS, THE WINGED HORSE IS EASY TO FIND.

00:58.024 --> 01:02.929 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
SIMPLY LOOK FOR FOUR BRIGHT STARS THAT FORM
A LARGE SQUARE, JUST ABOVE THE EASTERN HORIZON.

01:03.029 --> 01:05.365 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THAT SQUARE IS AN ASTERISM WE CALL

01:05.465 --> 01:07.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
THE GREAT SQUARE
OF PEGASUS.

01:07.500 --> 01:11.204 align:left position:80% line:83% size:10%
IF YOU'VE WATCHED OUR SHOW FOR A WHILE,
YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE STARS

01:11.304 --> 01:13.773 align:left position:80% line:89% size:10%
IN THE SKY HAVE VERY INTERESTING NAMES.

01:13.873 --> 01:15.642 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THATS BECAUSE MANY OF THE STARS WERE

01:15.742 --> 01:19.145 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
NAMED BY PERSIAN ASTRONOMERS THOUSANDS OF
YEARS AGO.

01:19.245 --> 01:21.981 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
WHEN ASTRONOMERS OF THAT TIME CHOSE TO NAME
THE STARS,

01:22.082 --> 01:24.651 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THEY OFTEN NAMED THEM AFTER THE BODY PART
IT REPRESENTED

01:24.751 --> 01:25.852 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
IN THE CONSTELLATION.

01:25.952 --> 01:27.720 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THE STARS THAT MAKE UP THE GREAT SQUARE OF

01:27.821 --> 01:32.759 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
PEGASUS, STARTING WITH THE ONE HIGHEST ABOVE
THE HORIZON AND MOVING COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ARE

01:32.859 --> 01:35.795 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
SCHEAT, ALPHERATZ, ALGENIB
AND MARKAB.

01:35.895 --> 01:39.199 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
SCHEAT (WHOSE NAME IN ARABIC MEANS THE LEG)

01:39.299 --> 01:45.672 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
IS A RED GIANT STAR 196 LIGHT YEARS FROM EARTH
AND ITS APPROXIMATELY 1500 TIMES AS BRIGHT

01:45.772 --> 01:46.873 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
AS OUR SUN.

01:46.973 --> 01:49.809 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
ALPHERATZ (WHICH MEANS NAVEL OF THE HORSE)

01:49.909 --> 01:55.181 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
IS 97 LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM US AND IS ALSO
THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE NEIGHBORING CONSTELLATION

01:55.281 --> 01:56.182 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
ANDROMEDA.

01:56.282 --> 01:58.151 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THE NEXT STAR IS ALGENIB.

01:58.251 --> 02:01.154 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
ITS 390 LIGHT YEARS AWAY AND ITS NAME MEANS
THE FLANK.

02:01.254 --> 02:03.590 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THE LAST OF THE FOUR STARS IN THE TRIANGLE

02:03.690 --> 02:05.125 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
IS MARKAB.

02:05.225 --> 02:09.429 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ITS NAME MEANS THE SADDLE OF THE HORSE AND
ITS A WHITE SUBGIANT STAR.

02:09.529 --> 02:14.167 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ITS EXHAUSTED THE HYDROGEN IN ITS CORE AND
EXPANDED TO ALMOST FIVE TIMES THE DIAMETER

02:14.267 --> 02:17.137 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
OF OUR ALMOST MILLION
MILE-WIDE SUN.

02:17.237 --> 02:19.873 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THE STARS THAT BRANCH OUT FROM SCHEAT MOVING

02:19.973 --> 02:22.542 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
UPWARD FORM THE LEGS OF PEGASUS.

02:22.642 --> 02:27.847 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THE STAR DIRECTLY ABOVE SCHEAT IS A BINARY
STAR SYSTEM NAMED MATAR.

02:27.947 --> 02:31.217 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
MATARS NAME IS DERIVED FROM AN ARABIC PHRASE
MEANING LUCKY STAR

02:31.317 --> 02:32.719 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
OF RAIN.

02:32.819 --> 02:37.157 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
ITS BAYER DESIGNATION IS ETA PEGASI AND ITS
167 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

02:37.257 --> 02:39.959 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
MATAR IS INTERESTING BECAUSE ITS PRIMARY STAR

02:40.059 --> 02:46.065 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
IS A YELLOW GIANT 18 TIMES THE DIAMETER OF
OUR SUN WITH A ROTATION RATE OF 818 DAYS.

02:46.166 --> 02:51.104 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ITS COMPANION STAR IS A YELLOW-WHITE STAR
WHICH ORBITS EVERY 813 DAYS.

02:51.204 --> 02:52.338 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
AND

02:52.438 --> 02:55.708 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE U.S. NAVY CARGO SHIP
U.S.S.

02:55.808 --> 02:58.077 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
MATAR WAS NAMED AFTER THIS STAR.

02:58.178 --> 03:02.682 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
IT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERING TROOPS,
GOODS AND EQUIPMENT DURING WORLD WAR TWO AND

03:02.782 --> 03:04.784 align:left position:85% line:89% size:5%
WAS BUILT IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.

03:04.884 --> 03:07.153 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
MOVING TOWARD THE HEAD OF PEGASUS,

03:07.253 --> 03:09.689 align:left position:75% line:89% size:15%
WE HAVE THE STAR ENIF, WHICH MARKS HIS NOSE.

03:09.789 --> 03:15.962 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
ENIF IS 690 LIGHT YEARS AWAY AND IS A SUPERGIANT
STAR 12 TIMES THE MASS AND

03:16.062 --> 03:18.831 align:left position:87.5% line:89% size:2.5%
185 TIMES THE DIAMETER OF OUR SUN.

03:18.932 --> 03:22.335 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THE NEXT STAR IS BIHAM (ALSO KNOWN AS THETA

03:22.435 --> 03:23.403 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
PEGASI).

03:23.503 --> 03:26.206 align:left position:75% line:89% size:15%
I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS THE EYE OF PEGASUS.

03:26.306 --> 03:30.710 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ITS NAME IS DERIVED FROM AN ARABIC PHRASE
MEANING LUCKY STARS OF THE YOUNG BEASTS AND

03:30.810 --> 03:32.679 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
IS OVER 97 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

03:32.779 --> 03:34.480 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
SPEAKING OF LUCKY,

03:34.581 --> 03:39.619 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ONE OF THE STARS IN PEGASUS OTHER LEG IS A
STAR JUST TO THE UPPER RIGHT FROM SCHEAT.

03:39.719 --> 03:41.421 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
ITS NAME IS SADALBARI.

03:41.521 --> 03:47.193 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
ITS NAME MEANS LUCKY STAR OF THE SPLENDID
ONE AND ITS A YELLOW GIANT STAR 106 LIGHT

03:47.293 --> 03:48.461 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
YEARS AWAY.

03:48.561 --> 03:51.397 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:
THAT'S THREE LUCKY STARS IN ONE CONSTELLATION.

03:51.497 --> 03:52.799 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
WOW.

03:52.899 --> 03:56.336 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THE LAST STAR WE'LL TALK ABOUT IS THE ONE
JUST ABOVE MARKAB.

03:56.436 --> 04:00.373 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
ITS TRADITIONAL NAME
IS HOMAM AND ITS APPROXIMATELY 204 LIGHT YEARS

04:00.473 --> 04:01.608 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
AWAY.

04:01.708 --> 04:03.910 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
NOW, LETS CHECK OUT OUR THIRD LUNAR LEAPFROG

04:04.010 --> 04:05.178 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%

04:05.278 --> 04:07.847 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
JAMES:

04:07.947 --> 04:10.984 align:left position:80% line:89% size:10%
SUNSET ON OCTOBER 3RD FACING SOUTH-WEST.

04:11.084 --> 04:14.587 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THE WAXING CRESCENT MOON IS JUST TO A HAIR
TO THE LEFT OF JUPITER, AND THEY ARE SUPER

04:14.687 --> 04:15.588 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
CLOSE THAT NIGHT.

04:15.688 --> 04:16.589 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THATS RIGHT, JAMES!

04:16.689 --> 04:18.858 align:left position:85% line:89% size:5%
NOW, CHECK OUT THE MOON ON THE 4TH

JAMES:
WOW!

04:21.361 --> 04:23.162 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THE FIRST QUARTER MOON IS ONLY TWO DEGREES
AWAY FROM SATURN!

04:23.263 --> 04:25.164 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
I THINK I WANT TO DANCE NOW!

04:25.265 --> 04:28.301 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
CHECK OUT THE STARS OF PEGASUS TONIGHT AND

04:28.401 --> 04:29.936 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
JUPITER AND SATURN AS YOU...

04:30.036 --> 04:34.036 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
BOTH:
KEEP LOOKING UP!
