Great way to teach ! Congratulations. Regards from Merida Mexico
Brilliant and magnificently informative ! Best on the web
Really helpful thanks 🌸
Thank you Janine 😊
I have an amateur interest in the constellations and Asterisms and you seem to enlighten me without going way over my head and you are perfect in this relative way! I appreciate! I was looking at Jupiter a couple of nights ago and saw the Winter Triangle and thought it was the Summer Triangle, which I'd gotten used to identifying. After a moment, I realized that things had moved on and something new had taken place. Most serendipitously a day or two later, this video appears!

Do constellation of pavo.
Could combine them into the winter peace symbol.
Why isn't the winter hexagon rather including Castor instead of Pollux ? It would make more sense as you'd end up with a more regular-sided hexagon, no ?

Pollux is more brilliant.
Have you changed your stance on Betelgeuse pronunciation for science purposes or is it just a preference?
In one of your pictures Saiph was in the wrong spot
Rigel is brighter than Betelgeuse and is in the winter sky and not part of the triangle.
How big our galaxy but we don,t solve only one planet problem 😭😭😭
American pronunciation of celestial objects makes it difficult to understand.
