A Trip Around Orion (3D version)

What exactly are the constellations? What would a constellation like Orion look like from the back? Or from the side?

This video is, as the Brits would say, "exactly what it says on the tin." A computer animation takes us 360 degrees around Orion, and shows us what a constellation is--or, more importantly, isn't.

This video is a re-upload of a previous video, made to take advantage of YouTube's 3D capabilities.

If you don't have 3D glasses, use cross-eye 3D?

@svarten009 I think they have options for both cross-eye and wall-eye 3D, whichever is more comfortable for you. But it's really only the flat Earth animation and the Orion pan-around where it's really effective.

I tried adjusting the video quality, now the 3D mode says an error occurred and I'm not able to see it on 3D or without. I only get audio and the subtitles. Anyone know a solution to this?

[shanedk]

@Seiku Right-click the video and select "Report playback issue." Let YouTube know what's going on.

@Seiku Something else you can try: go to youtubeDOTcom/select_3d_mode and click the appropriate mode. Then try it again.

This is cool and all, but what if we don't have 3D glasses? :(

[shanedk]

@vspqbd Just watch it normally?
