Introductory Astronomy: Seasonal Changes in Star Patterns
Video lecture on how stars appear in the night sky throughout the year. This video refers to lecture tutorial 3 ("Seasonal Stars") from "Lecture Tutorials for Introductory Astronomy" by Prather, et al.

VERY helpful, thank you so much!
Your videos are delightful!
All 12 (or 13, if you count Ophiucus) are visible from many locations on Earth. If you were to travel too far into either of the polar regions, you would not be able to see some of them. If you stood at the North Pole, you'd only be able to see about half of them.
Great video! Very informative, thank you 👍

Are all of these 12 zodiac constellations are visible (in a given year) from everywhere? or some of the constellations won't be visible?

agoel100 The Equator can see half of the zodiac constellations at any time at night. From most latitudes, winter is the best time to see the zodiac constellations high in the night sky.
Thank you
On the diagram w the BIG person on earth pointing at the constellation, there is a arrow pointing to the North star. How does the arrow maintaining on target to North Star after going around the sun?

IsawThisAlready The figure is not to scale, so the zodiacal constellations shown are EXTREMELY far away from the Earth. The Earth maintains the direction of its pole throughout the year (precession is only apparent at geologic timescales). The north star itself is also extremely far away from our Solar System, so the pole's direction still points to the north star even as the Earth orbits the Sun.

utter bullshit. 88 constellations comprise the celestial sphere.
This is all nonsense.
