My favorite part of Gemini is that Pollux traded half his immortality so that his twin brother Castor (who was mortal) could spend half the year in Olympus and half the year in Hades. Pollux is pulling him from Hades with their shared hand and Castor is being dragged to the underworld with his left leg. That's why Pollux's heart is brighter, he is the true immortal. They only get to meet in June at the equinox as one passes to the underworld and the other passes to Olympus. This is more than a constellation it is a story about true love between two brothers.

For 50 years I've been looking at the night sky and wanting to know as much as possible about what's up there. These videos have enabled me to do that and are therefore very special to me ... Thank you so much. These are special videos that prompt and test just the right things to enable me to look enquiringly at the sky and progressively work my way across it.

Thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge. I just bought my wife a nice telescope, she's very interested in Astrology and Astronomy, and she is a Gemini. We live on the South-Central Oregon Coast. The sky 🌌 here is simply breathtaking and so clear compared to every other place all around the globe where we have lived. I noticed in a comment that you either live or did live in Hawaii at one time. My wife and I are actually really thinking about moving there soon. We move all around the world and frequently. Though Oregon is the best place in the 48 US Continental States we've lived, it has some downsides... like the fact that we live in an actual Temperate Rain Forest. ☔️ 🌲 So because of that, about half the year is extremely cold, wet, and windy. But it's always nice and green! Hawaii looks a lot like the Oregon Coast minus our enormous evergreen trees 🌲... but it's warm there and we can spend more time outside doing sports and taking pictures (both of us are photographers/videographers/graphic designers/animators... oh and very much into extreme sports, especially water sports and skydiving)... Trying to skydive 🛩 or do any water sport 🤽♂️ 🏄🏿 up here causes my wife to suffer from epileptic seizures. Things like extreme cold trigger seizures in some people with the disease. Shame. Thanks again for this video and your other uploads! This will help me charm my wife with the new telescope! 😊

Yes, Gemini is super easy for me to find as well. Scorpius is one of my favorites. When I moved to Hawaii, as soon as I got off the plane it was the first constellation I saw, and it was the first time I saw it in its entirely. Where I grew up I could only see a portion of it.

Four years late but at about 8:00 minutes, you say here is Gemini at Sunset, but it can't be as you show Taurus is higher in the sky and Gemini & Orion are together "laying down on their sides" on the horizon. I think you mean sunrise. Gemini & Orion rise together on their sides, but both set standing up with Orion setting first with Gemini setting hours later.

I love this but I have a question, I’ve seen this gemini constellation and the one that looks like this sign “ ♊️ “ (has an almost rectangular shape and has less stars) instead of basically 2 literal stick figure twins 👯♀️ like shown in this video. I wanna get a gemini constellation necklace/pendant done and just wanna know which one is the original or right one? Everytime I search up Gemini constellation it shows this one and the other one, don’t wanna get the wrong one done 😩 lol. Hope you could respond❣️
@learnthesky4 жыл бұрын
Hello! It is common to see variations in star patterns when it comes to the constellations, especially with the zodiacal constellations. In terms of astronomy, here is the official star pattern released by the International Astronomical Union for Gemini: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_%28constellation%29#/media/File:Gemini_IAU.svg However, there are also designated symbols for the constellations of the zodiac, which can be different than the actual star pattern. What you are describing sounds like the symbol for Gemini. The only kind of jewelry I've seen are of the symbol, not necessarily the star pattern. I think as long as you know what your pendant is, that is what is most important. Cheers! :)

Not a dumb question at all. If you are a Gemini, the sun was traveling through that constellation on the day of your birthday. Another way of looking at it is that Gemini was out during the day on your birthday. You don’t really get to see your constellation until 6 months later. I hope this helps

I have a quastion mrs Janine: the brightest stars called alpha, but why do some Constellations like Orion, and also Gemini, they have a brightest star but its Beta, can you make a video about Alpha and beta stars?
@learnthesky2 жыл бұрын
Great question. The naming system you are referring to is called the Bayer Classification system, and it was created by German astronomer Johann Bayer in 1603. He ordered the stars by class (1st magnitude, 2nd magnitude, etc…), but he didn’t try to arrange them according to their relative brightness to each other. He also assigned letters according to their location in the pattern or by the order of their rising. In Bayer’s time, stellar brightness was not able to be measured precisely like it is today with scientific instruments either. Out of the 88 constellations, there are 30 alpha stars that are not the brightest stars of the constellations. Confusing, eh? There’s much more to say about this, so I will probably need to do a video in the future to help clarify.
