Tonight's Sky: February 2012

[maxxmango]

Everyone should learn this as we are becoming the universe

[rideordie650r]

Been too cloudy as of late to look through my telescope :(

Why does this month have so many views??? I'm glad to see it but a little confused lol. Last month only had 8K this is already at 88K?

[isabellachicify]

Wow, tonight I'm babysitting my nieces and we looked into the sky and saw these bright dots. We were looking for info to see what they were and this video was incredible! Thank you for educating us. I think my nieces are looking forward to next month.

[unoficsforkriftriiit]

hey when they say a small telescope how small is small because i have a 10 inch diameter scope is that small?

[Justinba1010]

@unoficsforkriftriiit You'll be fine, it doesn't matter too much, as long as you like seeing the Milky Way. Now when will telescopes able of other galaxies come to the average person.

[andeace23]

anybody out there?

[ANCIENTS0UL]

Thats not Orion's sword your looking at! Thats his giant phallus.

[TheeFri2]

I always called Orion's belt "The L"

Nice to know the star's real names :3

[rideordie650r]

@TheeFri2 they are also know as the 3 kings...

[danielmbcutler]

[cooldesert30]

[SuperLaugh20]

@youbetrollin10 download Stellarium, you'll know when and where to look for Venus :) Its relatively close to Jupiter.

[HaloReachRebels]

[72degreesandsunny]

[TheMikesaur]

[kiernanchrisman]

we just need the whole world to turn off the lights

[lienzo7]

españoooooooooooooollllllll

[singinggurl103]

I had no idea Rigel, and Sirius was a double and triple star system. Also, since when was there a cluster of stars (M41) under Sirius? Need a telly...

[coolshadow111]

i am so @$#$ of i wish i had a telescope!!!!!!!

[coolshadow111]

i cant beleive i just saw betejuice or whatever outside!!! lol i

[axsis71]

They almost showed the winter triangle & why is there always a moron throwing religion into everything when it doesn't need to be there?

[Johnnybomb1]

Nice background music.

[iorixs]

this is a complete misrepresentation of reality, copernicanism is a fraud and so is everything that follows of a materialistic and shallow life dictated by instinct and animal urges. the biblical model is correct

[MrTyppie]

Nice video:)

[Ataulftheking]

Love this channel!!

[pierce6714]

WOW! Excellent< Thank you so much.

[AonGuardian]

If only I lived in or near an area where there isn't so much visual noise like city lights or overcast clouds...

[joeyamila]

good video .

[josedeaztlan]

good video.... just hate all these Greek and Latin names as if they were the only astronomers in the entire world..... Ancient Mexicans, Ancients Mayans

[bhermoth]

wow space is so mysterious and amazing...makes me wonder a lot...

[LordRoyalHighness]

I thought it would be something interesting like 'The moon's going to be Red' or whatnot.

[icametorock1]

i cant wait for december night sky view

[SuperMelita9]

Very nice video.

[steam4o]

Like in 1:12. One day i was watching up the sky, the clock was 6 Pm and Jupiter,Moon and Venus was paralell to eachoter in one line. Amazing sight.

[CRYST2SHELL]

@steam4o I saw this a few nights ago. the moon wasn't full, but there were these two huge bright stars flanking it on both sides. I got so excited. I was like WOAH what IS that?! That's the reason I came here. Now I know, it was venus and jupitor. It was an amazing site.

[EliAnahita]

@CRYST2SHELL  Something really interesting if you like skywatching: EarthSky website or facebook page. It tells all the highlights of the night sky in real time so you know what to look for and all you can see!

[zetreproductions]

this made me want to play Solar 2!

[Orephiuchus]

this is really cool

[blackopsbeast22]

damn....i only clicked this video because i thought it was minecraft

[coconutgirl730]

This is so cool. Thank you.

[JuneAssassin21]

She reminds me of cortana from halo LOL

[Antimatter050]

How could I find mercury??

[LaksaMedan]

@Antimatter050

mercury is never far from the sun. it is either visible right before sunset or right before sunset. the best way to spot mercury is to look up mercury maximum elongation from the sun. google mercury chaser calculator

Venus is easier to spot since it is the brightest object in the sky at sunrise or sunset

[BeingTalha]

it sounds sexy (*_*)

[RainyMoodGames]

nice, subbscribed ^^

[surferdude1665]

thank you ! wonderful ! I'd hit the Love button if they had one.

[leloodallasmultipass]

I need to get a Hubble telescope.

[thomarv]

You should check out Tradze

[supernova123sam]

awesome video

[TeslaMe2]

@LudwigNyman Check out the site heavens-above (dot).com You can tell the web site where you are on earth using (select from map) or the (from data base) features. You can then find out when the visible passes of several man made satellites occur. I have used this site and it is very accurate. Look around lots of stuff on this one. Hope you all have fun!!!!

[LudwigNyman]

@TeslaMe2 Thanks mate! :) 

[unsf8518]

i need a telescope

[lendavoice60]

This was awesome..this helps with finding the stars and learning. Thank you!

[OpCharlieBravo]

They forgot about the Horsehead Nebula IC434, it can be seen on the first star on the left of Orion's belt.

[handsumhunk1000]

I Need The Telescopic View For Betelgeuse & Rigel Stars Including Orion's Belt!

[caomanh1]

Hamwm

[reflect91]

You have a God given right to your belief, and so do I. You have a very nice day.

[sethzky77]

Poor Betelgeuse.....

[TranceFlug]

orion is soo powerful...

[Showgirl7able]

So glad they saved Hubble!

[Larkinchance]

I'm in New England the these February nights haven't been all that cold...

[animepro100]

-_-zzzzzzZZZZZzzzZZZZ

[MoonDivaX]

I've been staring at Orion when it was dark the whole time? I didn't even had a telescope. I only remember seeing Orion's belt and Orion nebula.

[MarcLloydZ]

@malkils Your comment is annoying and ignorant.

[SlotMachineRape]

can telescopes see man made satellites?

[milan198611]

@SlotMachineRape maybe

[LudwigNyman]

@SlotMachineRape

Yes, actually you can see some man made things orbiting earth, sometimes you don't even need a telescope. Do some searches for the ISS, i think Nasa even got a applet somewhere that tells you when it will be visible over your part of the world. I would search it for you but i can't put links in here anyways.

[SlotMachineRape]

@LudwigNyman Really cool man. thanks!

[ixonixas]

awesome, i will try to search the skies

[reflect91]

The material universe is a product of God's (JEHOVAH) infinite energy. "Raise your eyes high up and see, " Isaiah wrote. " Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing." Isaiah 40:26.

[illuminatiperspectiv]

@reflect91 NO...the material universe is the product of LORD VISHNU's expansion! i think ill believe the HINDU myth seeing as how they invented MATH without which we wouldnt even have the computer youre on to blab stupid crap! yes! ill believe intelligent people over desert savages who RAPED AND KILLED AND STOLE LAND! i think ill believe in a loving GOD instead of your hateful and jealous puny god YAWHEW !! PLUS THE ABOVE VERSE SAID NOTHING!!!!

[april76301]

@reflect91 Agreed

[ahannnnn]

Great! We invite people to find their local astronomy club and look up with us.

[MorganJWalker]

I live in El Paso, nights sky is incredible at times...

[ronfurg]

Great job Hubble Folks. Thanks

[goldenmonkey247]

[champinsoccer9]

@goldenmonkey247 u should, i live in tennessee, if you look at the moon, then find the brightest star near it, its Jupiter :) its really neat, ive seen Saturn also. as well as neptune, i think.

[MrJordaanxxx]

@goldenmonkey247 You're going to want to get an 8" lens for optimal viewing.
