Most people think of astronomy as a nighttime activity, but if you hate staying up late, you’re in luck! As it turns out, there’s a whole lot of fascinating celestial objects and phenomena that can only be observed in the bright light of day. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Visit our shop at http://shop.seeker.com » 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! #stars #daytime #sun #venus #eclipse #telescope #constellations #astronomy #astrology #astrophysics #science #seeker -- Read more: Daytime astronomy: 6 phenomena to spot before nightfall https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/skills/day-time-astronomy-phenomena/ "Various atmospheric effects cause distortions in the light coming from the Sun – or light reflected from the Moon – to produce an array of beautiful phenomena." Catching the elusive 'green flash' https://www.aaas.org/catching-elusive-green-flash "Although the green flash usually lasts between one and three seconds, it was observed on and off for a full 35 minutes on October 16, 1929 by Admiral Byrd's expedition at the Little America base on Antarctica."

Your Questions Answered. https://www.planetary.org/articles/solar-eclipse-guide "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." -- You can probably point to the Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, and your astrological sign in the sky. But what would the constellations look like from another solar system? And will any of Orion’s stars ever become black holes? In Seeker Constellations, we'll explain the science of the universe’s most famous stars and dive into the culturally significant stories behind them.

Sagas in the Sky explores some of the stories behind the celestial objects in the night sky. In this episode, we look at stories connected to the constellation Leo and its bright star Regulus.

Psychologists have discovered that experiencing awe inspiring moments change us as humans. Planets and stars have been providing many such moments through human history, but new technology might be changing our relationship with the night sky. Jo's book "The Human Cosmos" is out now - https://geni.us/kJCTkA Watch the Q&A: https://youtu.be/zIF_GrfRxrI From Medieval monks grappling with the nature of time and Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars, to discoveries of how light reveals the chemical composition of the sun and Einstein's work on spacetime, humanity has always been inextricably linked to the wider cosmos. Humans have been in awe of the cosmos for the last 20,000 years. Our innate relationship with the stars shaped who we are. Our art, religious beliefs, social status, scientific advances and even our biology. Jo Marchant, PhD, is an award-winning journalist, speaker and author of the New York Times bestseller 'Cure: A Journey into the Science of Mind Over Body' (https://geni.us/pPrwNi). Her writing explores the nature of humanity and our universe, from the science of the mind-body connection and the mysteries of past civilisations to the awesome power of the night sky.

Monoceros the Unicorn is classified as a modern constellation since it was named in 1612 by Dutch Uranographer Petrus Plancius. It is a very faint constellation and dark skies are needed to see it.

Sagas in the Sky explores some of the stories behind the stars in the night sky. In this episode, we look at the stories connected to Aquarius.

Altair is the brightest star of the constellation Aquila, which gives it the alpha designation. Altair is unique in the sense that it rotates quickly -- every 9 hours -- which gives the star an oblate spherical shape. It is fairly close to our own solar system at 16.7 light-years away, which is why it is bright in our sky. Learn more about the spectral class and shape of this beautiful star.
