The Constellations - Bootes

This is the fourth video in our series examining the constellations of the night sky in depth. Last time, we used the Big Dipper to find Leo, the lion. This time we use it to find Bootes, the herdsman, and the bright star Arcturus. We also examine stellar parallax as a way for figuring out the distance to the stars.

If you use a Nikon P1000 to zoom in closely and videotape the action on the stars, they do not at all llook like any sun. They look more like flaming marshmallows, with small plasma, flames, dancing all over them at a very fast rate. Some of them even look like flat discs at some point with ripples pulsating across the surface. Another amazing thing that we are not shown and have never been shown. What is there to hide?

Bootes means The Coming One. He has a sickle and a spear.
