    Good video, but some curious things: 8:17 Perseus is there but not mentioned, and Aries is present too in the image but not mentioned either. And Monoceros the Unicorn is between Canis Major and Canis Minor but its too faint and difficult to find. Sorry for my English.

    I've always wondered what is that other blue line going through the constellation at 3:35 intersecting the ecliptic too? Love your videos so much they've helped me so much throughout my space journey and thanks a lot! Will there be more constellation videos coming soon? Maybe the southern hemisphere in the far future haha

    Perhaps in designing enducing field mechanisms in orbital sequences to a quicken Myrtylus's perhaps bad example to other twin pairs of genome standing on some istation impoved nominal comfort is what I gather from this and it's constantly there to observe,unlike Myrtylus and his eroded relic as it only has three horses though ammunition is applenty once again smoothed above, the centre of mass is that perhap he did tame the desire within for the burden upon others. Perhaps this was a fearful myth about a fathers love and his mercy too or to give away from ideas's of genesis amongst the uncommon warriors and well is demon of horsepower.

    Capella means “small female goat” in Latin. The nearby asterism of small red, white, and blue stars are “the kids,” the baby goats of the Goat Star.

    How come even 'authoritative' astronomy experts can't agree on pronunciation? For example, "Auriga", which I have now heard said three different ways by those sources I have consulted. Other cases could be cited as well.

    Hop it's not a matter of agree on the pronunciation but to actually know what's the right one.. If someone says different they think they are right but they aren't. If you want to know what's the right one, just see this channel.. Here is the best source of information.

    Hop This is a great question, and I wish I had the answer for you. I also consulted a few sources as well, and I usually end up pronouncing the terms the way I first learned them. Pronunciations can vary depending on region and culture. Astronomy is definitely not the only science in which the pronunciations vary.

    @@learnthesky Thanks for responding to my question. I appreciate that. I think part of the problem is that with many astronomical names we are essentially dealing with foreign (i.e. non-English) and unfamiliar words. Still, the lack of consensus even among experts surprises me a bit.

    Betelgeuse is another star where there seem to be many pronunciations given by various sources too. And it is certainly not correct to pronounce it like Bee-tel-juice. Bay-tel-gher-zer is a more likely pronunciation for Betelgeuse.

    Sorry ,Auriga to the naked eye looks every bit like a kite ..not like a chariot , nor like a pentagon... Most notable , at first glance , I see a fattened pyramid , then panning straight down to the bottom there's the bottom tip of the kite. Greek notions are old , tired , confusing word games... Unfortunately we have the " astronomers " confusing us with tired , old Greek mythology and arbitrary shape descriptions..I like to observe the night sky without the confusion , the tyrany of academics...
