I love the Orion Constellation. I look at it every knight now. It's right there at my back porch. Thanks for the video.

Orion Season. It is the most notorious constellation in the sky. Cheers!

Love the background music! ❤️❤️

Didn't know about the Flame nebula til now. Thanks!

2:58 the barnard’s loop looks like a smiley face with the flame nebula and the horse head nebula as the eyes lol

Janine, your learn the sky videos are very informative. Very professionally done and helpful. Have a great day!

The constellation is part of how I came up with part of my user name. When I see it I think of the shear amount of beauty it has, from star forges, to stars many time bigger than our own Solar System.

Thank you for the great video!

great video. i hope you post more videos soon

Orion is the first constellation I easily recognized as a kid. I remember somewhere 14-16 years old during the winter, looking south and there it was. And, I didn't even know what it was, the pattern was just so distinct. As with the other commenters, I see it now to the south, starting to get lower as the months progress.

Beautiful!

Hello from Switzerland Janine! I am new to your channel and I am learning so much! I have been watching your videos to help me learn the winter night sky. I have slowly been working my way through finding and exploring Orion and surrounding constellations. Tonight it is going to be very clear (rarely happens for us in winter at lower altitudes) and I will take out the telescope to have a look around Orion to try and find nebulae. In this video you showed a great map for the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. Where did you find this map? I think it could be very helpful. All the best and thank you so much for your clear and interesting videos/lessons

thank you so much for this serie! I've learned so much :)

Thanks once more for a great video, and thanks for your hard work cheers.

Great CHANNEL Thank you Best you tube channel

I appreciate your videos, taught me a lot.

Excuse my "nosiness" but Janine, are you an astronomer? Professional or amateur? I'm very impressed with your videos. Informative, accurate, approachable for the layman and with a friendly voice. Kudos! 👍😉

I consider myself to be an amateur astronomer. I am a teacher by profession. and earned degrees in biology and geology and I've taught online for about half of my teaching career. Astronomy was always the science I loved reading and learning about since I was a kid. I also volunteer for NASA as a Solar System Ambassador, which is part of my continuing education. Plus I get to share what I learn from NASA with my local community. I'm glad you appreciate my approach to teaching the stars. I try to make them so anyone can find the stars and learn more about what can be seen and well as the things that are hidden from the naked eye. Thank you for your support!

@@learnthesky You do a great job!

I have seen Messier 42,43, and the trapezium with my 8" dobsonian. It is absolutely mesmerizing. Unfortunately I cannot see IC 434 and Messier 78 because of where I am located. What diameter of telescope did you use to view IC 434?

I haven't been in the habit of using a telescope lately. I've been using binoculars to view the sky as of late, so I'm nervous to comment on this. I fully admit that I cheat when it comes to using telescopes and go to star parties, which allows be me to try a variety of telescopes. But COVID makes that idea impossible at the moment. I'm going to spend a little time researching this to see if I can find a more satisfactory answer.

Orion Constellation which is around 1530 Light Years away from Earth , has been considered as home of Gods in all Faith & Religion...

In some ways, yes, since I do teach middle school and high school. I really make these videos for beginner stargazers and anyone who is interested in learning about astronomy and how to find the constellations. I do try to keep it basic and easy to follow.
