1 00:00:01,490 --> 00:00:19,510 web 2 00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:24,240 hairs a pairs a planet's air stargazers 3 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,320 I'm Deanery guess astronomer for the Cincinnati Observatory 4 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,810 have you ever seen or even heard of the Beehive cluster 5 00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:34,720 and I'm James all very director the key cassava pop planetarium in Gainesville 6 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,309 Florida 7 00:00:35,309 --> 00:00:39,629 next week the two brightest planets Jupiter and Venus will have an 8 00:00:39,629 --> 00:00:42,720 early morning super sketchy right next to the Beehive 9 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,949 hand Mars and Saturn will pass each other in the evening twilight 10 00:00:46,949 --> 00:00:52,930 let's show you we ever sky set up facing south west after sunset next week on 11 00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:56,519 eighty and as it gets darker appear bright lights 12 00:00:56,519 --> 00:01:00,900 will be the first things you see over here the upper one is the ring planet 13 00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:01,530 Saturn 14 00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:04,580 and about 5 degrees down into the right is a reddish 15 00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:08,080 orange planet Mars the look about the same brightness 16 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,750 but slightly different colors not long ago we showed you how to use your pinky 17 00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:14,570 finger to measure the size the moon 18 00:01:14,570 --> 00:01:17,810 remember the moon is always smaller than you pinky finger 19 00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:22,049 one now we want you to use your whole fist and holding over Saturn 20 00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:26,799 and Mars what do you see your fist will completely cover both of them with 21 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,189 plenty left over 22 00:01:28,189 --> 00:01:33,149 Saturn Mars or about 5 degrees apart while your fist covers about twice that 23 00:01:33,149 --> 00:01:33,658 much 24 00:01:33,658 --> 00:01:38,020 or ten degrees at the sky get out after sunset each night for the next few weeks 25 00:01:38,020 --> 00:01:40,780 and watch this pair of parapet eggplant 26 00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:44,320 for the first few nights though actually get closer each night 27 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,119 but after a week or so they'll separate again and show you why they're called 28 00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:49,030 planets 29 00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:53,439 there the wonders up the sky to the left of Mars and Saturn 30 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,340 are the stars of Scorpius the Scorpion 3 along here 31 00:01:57,340 --> 00:02:01,390 form the head and long curving line of stars down here 32 00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:05,490 form the body the break red star Antares marx's heart 33 00:02:05,490 --> 00:02:08,728 what about his claws you may be asking well 34 00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:13,330 Saturn lies right between them these claw stars have some %uh james's 35 00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:14,940 favorite names to pronounce 36 00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:17,959 so I'll defer to him tell you all about 37 00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:21,319 the upper claw is supranational mauling 38 00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:25,319 which actually means northern CAW and the lower one is a Belgian OB 39 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:29,690 the southern claw seven ish Molly puts out two hundred seventy times as much 40 00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:30,200 light 41 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,950 as our son while zyuganov's newbie I just love the sound of that 42 00:02:33,950 --> 00:02:39,430 is closer to us but not as powerful so on august eighteenth just after it gets 43 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:40,020 dark 44 00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:44,100 look south west for Saturn and Mars with Scorpios off to the left 45 00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:48,440 and Terry's the break red heart and the cost RZ bashfully 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,490 and signaled snooping what about this bee hive we mentioned earlier 47 00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:56,240 let's take a look at Deans favorite time the early morning 48 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,540 not all K 49 00:02:59,540 --> 00:03:02,840 here we are facing East well before sunrise 50 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,010 and depending upon exactly how early to get up what you seem a very 51 00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:11,230 winters Orion is in the south eastern sky and castor & Pollux 52 00:03:11,230 --> 00:03:15,660 are of two is left but the really big thing we drag you outta bed to see is 53 00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:19,220 this bright para stars below Castor and Pollux 54 00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:23,310 their eyes about and hour and a half before sunrise but once they're up high 55 00:03:23,310 --> 00:03:24,380 enough to be seen 56 00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:28,130 there much brighter than anything else out there the left one 57 00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:31,290 Venus is about seven times brighter than Jupiter 58 00:03:31,290 --> 00:03:35,960 the other one yep here are two more planets wandering across the sky 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,990 and the really neat thing about this is they are insanely close together 60 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:43,560 about one quarter but agree apart a super sketchy 61 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,890 if there ever was one be sure you don't miss this if you go out the next day 62 00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:51,780 penis will have moved almost a degree farther away from Jupiter 63 00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:56,070 next summer at the ended June penis and you per will get close again 64 00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:59,350 but will be twice as far apart as they'll be next week 65 00:03:59,350 --> 00:04:03,990 so now is the time and I'm sure you've been wondering about that be hyping 66 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:04,850 mentioned earlier 67 00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:07,970 well if you look at Jupiter and Venus to the pair binoculars 68 00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:13,370 you'll see a swarm of stars off to the left to the planet this beehive is a 69 00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:17,079 cluster of stars that lies about 600 light years away 70 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,829 if you have clear skies and good eyes this cluster is 71 00:04:20,829 --> 00:04:24,750 easy to see but most diverse don't live under good skies 72 00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:28,120 so take this opportunity to find a beehive 73 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,050 so its Saturn and Mars in the evening in the West and Jupiter Venus 74 00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:53,330 in the Beehive in the morning in the east keep looking up 75 00:04:53,330 --> 00:04:58,330 of
