A Constellation Compilation: Exploring the Night Sky with Neil deGrasse Tyson
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 deGrasse Tyson Explains the Constellations
What are the constellations supposed to look like? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice gaze up at the constellations that surround our world. Who made the constellations?
We break down the mythologies and methods used to paint these shapes in the sky. Are some constellations more accurate than others? Neil 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. What constellations did he invent? All that, plus, we roast the constellations for their inaccuracy and ask: why is there no reverse centaur?

Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the North Star and Why Your Zodiac Sign Might Be Wrong
Why is your zodiac sign probably wrong? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explain astronomy, astrology, and the movement of the north star and zodiac constellations. There’s a 13th zodiac sign?
You'll also learn about Earth’s wobble on its axis and what “precession” is. Was the north star always the north star? We talk about the north star of ancient times and what the night sky will look like in the future. How does precession affect your zodiac sign? We explore how the current zodiac differs from when it was first invented. What is Ophiuchus? And is Cancer really the lamest constellation??? All that and more on another StarTalk explainer!

» Catch up on Constellations! https://bit.ly/3uKysSS
It may not seem obvious, but the closest star to us is actually… the Sun. That massive glowing ball of (mostly) hydrogen and helium is pretty hard to miss, especially considering that it fuels all life on Earth.
Paradoxically, the Sun is also an object that we really need to avoid looking at directly. But safely observing the Sun is possible with some creative maneuvering. One approach is to take a telescope and fit a special solar filter over its front end, so that the Sun’s brightness and its harmful wavelengths get blocked.
Another safe way to get a look at the Sun is to project its image onto a white card. Place the card behind a small telescope or a pair of binoculars, focus the eyepiece a little, and the Sun's visible surface will come into view!

"An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes in front of a second celestial body as seen from a third celestial body—in other words, an eclipse occurs when 3 bodies line up. The fun-to-say scientific term for this is “syzygy,” and it doesn’t strictly mean the Earth, Moon and Sun."
