00:01.490 --> 00:19.510
web


00:19.510 --> 00:24.240
hairs a pairs a planet's air stargazers


00:24.240 --> 00:27.320
I'm Deanery guess astronomer for the
Cincinnati Observatory

00:27.320 --> 00:30.810
have you ever seen or even heard of the
Beehive cluster

00:30.810 --> 00:34.720
and I'm James all very director the key
cassava pop planetarium in Gainesville

00:34.720 --> 00:35.309
Florida


00:35.309 --> 00:39.629
next week the two brightest planets
Jupiter and Venus will have an

00:39.629 --> 00:42.720
early morning super sketchy right next
to the Beehive

00:42.720 --> 00:46.949
hand Mars and Saturn will pass each
other in the evening twilight

00:46.949 --> 00:52.930
let's show you we ever sky set up facing
south west after sunset next week on

00:52.930 --> 00:56.519
eighty and as it gets darker appear
bright lights

00:56.519 --> 01:00.900
will be the first things you see over
here the upper one is the ring planet

01:00.900 --> 01:01.530
Saturn


01:01.530 --> 01:04.580
and about 5 degrees down into the right
is a reddish

01:04.580 --> 01:08.080
orange planet Mars the look about the
same brightness

01:08.080 --> 01:12.750
but slightly different colors not long
ago we showed you how to use your pinky

01:12.750 --> 01:14.570
finger to measure the size the moon


01:14.570 --> 01:17.810
remember the moon is always smaller than
you pinky finger

01:17.810 --> 01:22.049
one now we want you to use your whole
fist and holding over Saturn

01:22.049 --> 01:26.799
and Mars what do you see your fist will
completely cover both of them with

01:26.799 --> 01:28.189
plenty left over


01:28.189 --> 01:33.149
Saturn Mars or about 5 degrees apart
while your fist covers about twice that

01:33.149 --> 01:33.658
much


01:33.658 --> 01:38.020
or ten degrees at the sky get out after
sunset each night for the next few weeks

01:38.020 --> 01:40.780
and watch this pair of parapet eggplant


01:40.780 --> 01:44.320
for the first few nights though actually
get closer each night

01:44.320 --> 01:48.119
but after a week or so they'll separate
again and show you why they're called

01:48.119 --> 01:49.030
planets


01:49.030 --> 01:53.439
there the wonders up the sky to the left
of Mars and Saturn

01:53.439 --> 01:57.340
are the stars of Scorpius the Scorpion 3
along here

01:57.340 --> 02:01.390
form the head and long curving line of
stars down here

02:01.390 --> 02:05.490
form the body the break red star Antares
marx's heart

02:05.490 --> 02:08.728
what about his claws you may be asking
well

02:08.728 --> 02:13.330
Saturn lies right between them these
claw stars have some %uh james's

02:13.330 --> 02:14.940
favorite names to pronounce


02:14.940 --> 02:17.959
so I'll defer to him tell you all about


02:17.959 --> 02:21.319
the upper claw is supranational mauling


02:21.319 --> 02:25.319
which actually means northern CAW and
the lower one is a Belgian OB

02:25.319 --> 02:29.690
the southern claw seven ish Molly puts
out two hundred seventy times as much

02:29.690 --> 02:30.200
light


02:30.200 --> 02:33.950
as our son while zyuganov's newbie I
just love the sound of that

02:33.950 --> 02:39.430
is closer to us but not as powerful so
on august eighteenth just after it gets

02:39.430 --> 02:40.020
dark


02:40.020 --> 02:44.100
look south west for Saturn and Mars with
Scorpios off to the left

02:44.100 --> 02:48.440
and Terry's the break red heart and the
cost RZ bashfully

02:48.440 --> 02:52.490
and signaled snooping what about this
bee hive we mentioned earlier

02:52.490 --> 02:56.240
let's take a look at Deans favorite time
the early morning

02:56.240 --> 02:59.540
not all K


02:59.540 --> 03:02.840
here we are facing East well before
sunrise

03:02.840 --> 03:07.010
and depending upon exactly how early to
get up what you seem a very

03:07.010 --> 03:11.230
winters Orion is in the south eastern
sky and castor & Pollux

03:11.230 --> 03:15.660
are of two is left but the really big
thing we drag you outta bed to see is

03:15.660 --> 03:19.220
this bright para stars below Castor and
Pollux

03:19.220 --> 03:23.310
their eyes about and hour and a half
before sunrise but once they're up high

03:23.310 --> 03:24.380
enough to be seen


03:24.380 --> 03:28.130
there much brighter than anything else
out there the left one

03:28.130 --> 03:31.290
Venus is about seven times brighter than
Jupiter

03:31.290 --> 03:35.960
the other one yep here are two more
planets wandering across the sky

03:35.960 --> 03:39.990
and the really neat thing about this is
they are insanely close together

03:39.990 --> 03:43.560
about one quarter but agree apart a
super sketchy

03:43.560 --> 03:47.890
if there ever was one be sure you don't
miss this if you go out the next day

03:47.890 --> 03:51.780
penis will have moved almost a degree
farther away from Jupiter

03:51.780 --> 03:56.070
next summer at the ended June penis and
you per will get close again

03:56.070 --> 03:59.350
but will be twice as far apart as
they'll be next week

03:59.350 --> 04:03.990
so now is the time and I'm sure you've
been wondering about that be hyping

04:03.990 --> 04:04.850
mentioned earlier


04:04.850 --> 04:07.970
well if you look at Jupiter and Venus to
the pair binoculars

04:07.970 --> 04:13.370
you'll see a swarm of stars off to the
left to the planet this beehive is a

04:13.370 --> 04:17.079
cluster of stars that lies about 600
light years away

04:17.079 --> 04:20.829
if you have clear skies and good eyes
this cluster is

04:20.829 --> 04:24.750
easy to see but most diverse don't live
under good skies

04:24.750 --> 04:28.120
so take this opportunity to find a
beehive

04:28.120 --> 04:32.050
so its Saturn and Mars in the evening in
the West and Jupiter Venus

04:32.050 --> 04:53.330
in the Beehive in the morning in the
east keep looking up

04:53.330 --> 04:58.330
of
