December Sky Tour: Orion, Taurus, Auriga, and friends


Here's a new video I've just published entitled "December Sky Tour: Orion, Taurus, Auriga, and friends."

This video consists of a guided tour through one of the most dramatic parts of the heavens, now rising into view in the month of December. 

It explains some of the "landmarks" I use to identify the various constellations and other celestial features in this section of the sky. 

In the video, we walk through the constellations of Orion, Taurus, Auriga, Gemini, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Perseus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia and Pegasus. We also touch upon the Hyades and the Pleiades. 

I hope you will have an opportunity to go outside and see them in person, if at all possible! Thank you for watching.
