Description

In this 101 compilation, Neil deGrasse Tyson and his co-hosts gaze up at the constellations and explore the night sky around our world. How many constellations are there anyway? We break down the difference between the constellations in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Why is the Southern Hemisphere’s sky more beautiful? Is it really? Neil also gives his take on which constellations are the most accurate and why Pegasus is anatomically incorrect. Discover Abbé Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille and his mission to map the sky of the southern hemisphere for the north. All that and WAY more on this constellation crash course episode!

Neil would probably be the person in the whole world i would prefer to sit and have a conversation with. He has a way to explain things (and not bragging or beeing arrogant),, but rather make you understand it yourself and feel good about yourself.

Please don't cut the videos to make them short, the longer the better when it's just Neil and Chuck

I had a tape called Star Tours as a kid that talked about the histories behind the constellations and listening to this made me feel so nostalgic.

I had recently gone on a trip in Gujarat, India and there were soo many stars there because we were staying near a village locality. I even laid down with my sister on the grass and we made our own constellations and it felt so good. I mean I totally get it how all our ancestors made these constellations considering they used to spend their entire evening and night gazing up at the sky in the open. Also I read all about the constellations and this video was just a recap of what I thought too about the constellations changing with the era and Sagittarius being shown as a centaur rather than a teapot and this talk really piqued my interest.Thanks❤️
