1
00:00:01,660 --> 00:00:20,429
the

2
00:00:20,429 --> 00:00:23,900
those short but starry night some summer
 
are about to arrive

3
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:28,489
hey there stargazers I'm james oberg
 
director the key cassava plop

4
00:00:28,489 --> 00:00:30,070
planetarium in Gainesville Florida

5
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:33,370
nom de Marie guess stronger for the
 
Cincinnati Observatory

6
00:00:33,370 --> 00:00:38,019
let us be your guides to the sky summer
 
officially begins for the Northern

7
00:00:38,019 --> 00:00:40,510
Hemisphere on Saturday June 21st

8
00:00:40,510 --> 00:00:43,750
at 651 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time

9
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:47,629
but the skies are already loaded with
 
wonderful summer constellations and

10
00:00:47,629 --> 00:00:48,479
planets

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,229
let's show you okay we've got her sky
 
set up for this week

12
00:00:53,229 --> 00:00:57,619
and next 10 p.m. facing north where
 
you'll see the Little Dipper and it's

13
00:00:57,619 --> 00:00:58,530
very highest

14
00:00:58,530 --> 00:01:02,619
above the North Star in fact the
 
Northstars the start the

15
00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:07,299
ended the handle the Little Dipper now
 
boulder pres not nearly as large

16
00:01:07,299 --> 00:01:10,590
or bright as the Big Dipper but if you
 
have dark skies

17
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:16,039
you can see it handle is drawn from the
 
North Star through two very dim stars

18
00:01:16,039 --> 00:01:20,229
which then connects the two more dim
 
stars to drop our the ball

19
00:01:20,229 --> 00:01:25,499
and then another dim star and finally a
 
slightly brighter star name coach abt

20
00:01:25,499 --> 00:01:27,340
finishes off the ball the Little Dipper

21
00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:31,219
now the Big Dipper is a much brighter
 
and larger star pattern

22
00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:34,249
and is directly to the Little Dipper is
 
left in the northwest

23
00:01:34,249 --> 00:01:37,990
four stars markets Cup and three stars
 
markets handle

24
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:42,689
and once you found the Big Dipper you
 
can shoot an arrow through its hand or

25
00:01:42,689 --> 00:01:43,759
across the sky

26
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:47,770
almost overhead and down into the
 
western sky to find one of the top three

27
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:49,619
brightest stars in the sky

28
00:01:49,619 --> 00:01:53,549
Arc'teryx is the brightest star a boat
 
is the herdsmen

29
00:01:53,549 --> 00:01:58,259
which looks something like a kite then
 
if you extend that arrow from our

30
00:01:58,259 --> 00:01:58,920
terrace

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,229
it might land on Spike a the brightest
 
star Virgo

32
00:02:02,229 --> 00:02:05,229
now I say might because this year

33
00:02:05,229 --> 00:02:09,000
there 3.2 flight that will make good
 
targets for your arrow

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,020
the light in the middle is the star
 
spike a in this that I a constellation

35
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:14,020
Virgo

36
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:17,840
forty degrees to spike as right as the
 
noticeably brighter

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,090
red planet Mars then about 25 degrees to
 
the left a spike it is the ringed planet

38
00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:24,180
Saturn

39
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:28,440
now saturn has also brighter than spike
 
and if you look carefully

40
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,170
saturn has slightly more yellow an
 
appearance take a look

41
00:02:32,170 --> 00:02:35,980
and see for yourself so you're probably
 
asking which is which

42
00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:39,460
n how can I be sure well the moon will
 
be doing it

43
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:45,310
pointer thing over the next week or so
 
cell is let's start on May 31st

44
00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:49,560
with a three day old moon below Jupiter
 
then on june third and fourth

45
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,130
the moon will bracket Regulus the
 
brightest star in Leo the Lion

46
00:02:53,130 --> 00:02:57,790
then on June 7 Mars will be just above a
 
waxing gibbous moon

47
00:02:57,790 --> 00:03:01,460
but Mars will be bright enough to
 
compete with the light up the moon

48
00:03:01,460 --> 00:03:06,140
the next night the 8th June a bigger and
 
brighter moon will be just to the right

49
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:06,880
of spike

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,550
and the moon will probably overwhelm
 
spike a on the 9th and 10th

51
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:15,080
the moon will be on either side up
 
Saturday and the next night

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,090
a nearly full moon will be above and
 
Terry's the brightest star of summer

53
00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:19,860
scorpion

54
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:23,280
if you continue turning and face East

55
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,660
you'll see the three incredibly bright
 
stars which marked the point

56
00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:30,530
up the summer triangle the brightest is
 
Vega in Lyra the harp

57
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:33,590
the second brightest Altair inequality
 
Eagle

58
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:36,630
and third brightest Dennett in Cygnus
 
the Swan

59
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:40,980
and every year as summer begins we
 
always see these three celestial

60
00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:41,890
Dazzlers

61
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:45,560
rising over the eastern horizon
 
announcing but summer is here

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,280
so there you have it every direction you
 
looked you'll see wonderful stars

63
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,040
as we await the beginning of summer 2014
 
in the south

64
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,730
Scorpius in the east the three brilliant
 
stars on the summer triangle

65
00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:01,950
Vega Dana an Altair in the north

66
00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:06,480
both the little and big dippers then
 
following the handle the Big Dipper in

67
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,450
the southwest

68
00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:10,820
are terrorists and then spike a with the
 
planet mars

69
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:13,970
and Saturn on either side and finally

70
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:17,680
hugging the western horizon jupiter
 
below Leo the Lion

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,108
both beating us farewell and in the
 
morning sky

72
00:04:21,108 --> 00:04:25,400
in the east beats is still blazing away
 
and will daily approach the plea

73
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,990
eighties

74
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:29,310
to give you a bit of a preview of all
 
Scots

75
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:32,900
summer nights are short but this
 
summer's going to show you what's up

76
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:35,920
wonderful story cites so I remember to
 
keep

77
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:53,320
looking up

78
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,610
yes

79
00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:58,110
E

80
00:04:58,110 --> 00:05:03,110
