it was not first discovered by hipparcus. indian texts like suryasidhantha already covered this 1000 of years before hipparcus

[@johncgibson4720]

Thank god someone finally puts the word "precession" on this calendar thing, instead of saying "the way the earth moves".

[@richardschiller7803]

half right half wrong, axis precesses in, not stars; so since precession means to go forward, seasons slip backward, stars do not precess forward. Spring season slipped back from March 20 to March 10, the stars of March 10 is not a sphere that moved forward to March 20. Like the electricity books now in school that talks about vacant electron-holes moving backward.

[@physicshuman9808]

Fun fact: When Hipparchus Developed trigonometry, he was one of the first people to find evidence that the planets don’t move in perfect circles and he actually thought that was an error in his theory, and threw it out the window

How can it have been discovered by Hipparchus when the ancients encoded the precession into their structures?

[@paulthomas963]

The ancients recorded the cycles. Copernuis then Newton gave it a physical explanation (which is wrong but still taught as a fact). I do wonder if and HOW the ancients understood it better than we do. We fudge the math equations out of observations and they still don't work.

[@Macorian]

There are a few problems with this. 1. The gravitational model has so many problems, it’s difficult to harmonise it even with the moon being where it is or behaving as it does. The wobbel is an assumption, there can be other reasons for the apparent precession. Certainly, things have to be simplified, but is quite a crime of omission. Especially as all statements are made as if ascertained fact, which they aren't at all. 2. At least one star, namely Sirius, seems not to take part in this, which cannot be explained by the cuttent theory. 3. It was not H. who first observed precession. In fact, he didn’t. We know that, bc he gives no measurements by himself. If you read his numbers carefully, you’ll notice, that they correspond to observations made in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Neugebauer sadly declared that the Ancient Babyloninans did not no precession. We today know that this is quite wrong. They did. And so did the Egyptians. They used Sirius, however, that barely moves, precisely bc it’s an exception. 4. Astrology very weak. If you use the Sidereal system, the sun is not in Capricorn at New Year, but in Sagittarius. Only in the Tropical system it’s still in Capricorn. 5. Caesar got his calendar fixed by Egyptians he brought back to Rome 6. Your take on Astrology is embarrassing. I hope you do know a bit more about Astronomy than the nonsense you say about Astrology. Really, even the basis is incorrect and even for those believing in astral determinism (very few do) your statements are off.

[@ItsJustAstronomical]

1. The gravitational model is solid. I don't know what issues you're talking about. 2.

@@ItsJustAstronomical The Egyptians encoded the dimensions of the earth into the dimensions of the pyramids. They could not have done so without knowing of the earths procession.

Worth clarifying: the Zodiac he refers to is the Sidereal Zodiac, used mostly in the East by Vedic Astrology rather than Western, though some Astrologers of the West have begun to look at this Zodiac. Most Astrologers in the West refer to the Topical Zodiac, which is Seasonal rather than based on the Constellations (as he mentions!) The Tropical Zodiac is fixed to the solstices and equinoxes and is unchanging with time. This means that Aries, for example is defined by the first 30° of the ecliptic following the vernal equinox, Cancer the first 30° following the Summer Solstice, Libra the first 30° following the Autumnal Equinox, and Capricorn the first 30° following the Winter Solstice. Aside from this, the Zodiacal Signs are 30° of the ecliptic each. The Constellational boundaries we know today, even if they had been the exact same as they were 5000 years ago, would be far different. Virgo is the largest Ecliptic Constellation encompassing almost 14% of the Ecliptic, whereas Scorpius (the Constellation of the Sign Scorpio) is less than 2% (approximately). The constellations were used in ancient times as reference points to the Signs, but they are not the Zodiac itself. The separation between Sidereal and Tropical astrology occurred in the years following the discovery of the precession, and remains in place today. Sidereal and Tropical Astrology both have their benefits in terms of self discovery, but are very different practices.

The ending was amazing, but I do have a question. Is astrology accurate? Now of course I don't mean accurate in predicting your future, is it accurate in saying that I am a sagitarius because I was born between november 23 and December 21? If the earths position relative to the stars moves ever so slightly shouldn't that date change at least a day during a human lifetime? Not to mention, when were the zodiac dates decided? As far as I know they could've been set in stone 400 years ago and by this point we are truly facing Sagittarius in January or something.

0:24 does the Earth's axis actually trace a circle going counter-clockwise when viewed from the North Star? I thought it traced the circle clockwise.

[@ItsJustAstronomical]

So if you were to be observing the earth from a distance looking down at the North pole, you would see the Earth rotating clockwise. But we are on the rotating earth, so what we see is the opposite rotate. We see the stars rotating counter-clockwise around the North Star.

I saw a documentary once 20 years ago that said Sothic being 1460 years is half-Sothic in 730 years. Not so because 720 is 180-day, and 720 is another 180-day to be 360 in 1440, and then the 5 days for 365 leap days requires 20 years so you cannot just cut it in half, and Genesis knows this because the stretched Genesis uses 740 and 720 years for 185 and 180 leap days.

This is also the reason for the Sahara desert. The Sahara desert changes from a desert to a marsh wetland depending on the wobble of the earth.

Procession is about 1° / 72 years.... But that's not why the Julian and Gregorian calendars are inaccurate. They're just not accurate.

4:04 what is that music

[@SamFisherK]

That kind of explained my question: Is this means that along with precession, seasons are also slightly shifting possition around the sun? If so, then after some thousands of years we would see stars that now could be seen in winter, we will see them in summer? Im not sure if anyone would understand my question.

[@ItsJustAstronomical]

That's exactly right. The seasons will happen when the earth is at a different point along its orbit. So in 13,000 years, the earth will be on the opposite side of the Sun during summer. So stars that were visible in the winter will be visible in the summer in 13,000 years.

That didn't help me at all. I've been hearing about sidereal time since at least the early `70's (thanks to The Firesign Theatre) and still have no clue what it means but, that's not why I watched this video. I've been noticing for at least the past few years that the moon keeps going up and down in the sky and the only reason I can figure it does that is because of the axis wobble, here. The last 2 nights, I've noticed the moon rises behind my neighbor's house across the street. That means, I can sit here on my bed and look out the window at moon rise and watch the moon come up from behind Carly's house at about the 5:00 position (a tiny bit to the left of my window), reach peak directly in front of the window at about 6:30 position (but I'd have to be lying down on the bed to be able to see it) and it sinks out of view just to the right of my window at about the 8:00 position. But, in a few days to a week or two, if I want to see it come up, I have to go out front under my window and look completely left to see the moon come up over the hillside about a mile from here at the 2:00 or 3:00 position, then it peaks directly over my house and I have to go out to the street to see it, and it sinks over the horizon NW of here at about the 10:30 position and, in order for me to see it do that, I have to practically go TO Carly's house and FACE MY house! In another few days or weeks, it's back to coming up behind Carly's house, again! Anyway, I thought this video might explain that.

Polaris is currently only about 0.75 degrees from the north celestial pole. It is the 49th brightest star in the sky. It turns out that having a pole star with this level of quality is rare. I did a lot of math on this and found that the probability of having a better pole star is only about 2% for the north pole or 4% for either pole. The details of these numbers follow. I defined the quality of a pole star as 1 / (rank * angle from pole * angle from pole). So the quality of Polaris is 1 / (49 * 0.75° * 0.75°) = 1 / (49 * 0.013 * 0.013) = 119.1 I got the probability of having a better pole star using the following code. It simulates random placement of 5000 stars for each simulated planet. It counts what portion of the planets have a pole star with better quality than Polaris. You can run this code in the inspector console in a desktop web browser. You can control various simulation parameters by changing the last line. Currently it outputs the probability of having a better pole star at either pole. const NUM_STARS_LIMIT = 5000; // The number of stars visible to the naked eye is about 5000. const POLARIS_DISTANCE_FROM_POLE_DEGREES = 0.75; const POLARIS_RANK = 49; function getProbabilityBetterThanPolaris(num_rounds, include_both_poles, quality_function) { // num_rounds: the number of rounds to run to get the probability. Go at least 10000 for accuracy. // include_both_poles: boolean // if true, stars near either pole will be considered // if false, stars near only one pole will be considered even though stars in both hemispheres are included in the ranking of stars // quality_function: (rank, radius_squared) => Number // This function is called for each star. // The higher the number, the better the star is as a pole star. const polaris_quality = quality_function(POLARIS_RANK, Math.pow(POLARIS_DISTANCE_FROM_POLE_DEGREES * Math.PI / 180, 2)); let num_rounds_with_better_pole_star_than_polaris = 0; for(let round_index = 0; round_index < num_rounds; round_index++) { let found_better_pole_star = false; for(let star_index = 0; star_index < NUM_STARS_LIMIT; star_index++) { let x = 0; let y = 0; let z = 0; let distance_squared = 0; while(x*y*z === 0 || distance_squared >= 1) { x = (Math.random() * 2) - 1; y = (Math.random() * 2) - 1; z = (Math.random() * 2) - 1; distance_squared = (x*x) + (y*y) + (z*z); } // is now guaranteed to be in the unit sphere. // Also, x, y, and z are guaranteed to be nonzero. if(include_both_poles || z > 0) { const quality = quality_function(star_index + 1, ((x * x) + (y * y)) / (z * z)); if(quality >= polaris_quality) { found_better_pole_star = true; break; } } } if(found_better_pole_star) { num_rounds_with_better_pole_star_than_polaris++; } } return num_rounds_with_better_pole_star_than_polaris * 1.0 / num_rounds; } console.log(getProbabilityBetterThanPolaris(10000, true, (rank, radius_squared) => 1 / (rank * radius_squared)));

@Billy Bob I've actually flown around the planet, lol. Explain THAT?

[@ArisaemaTriphyllum]

@Billy Bob lol. I'm a geologist. And I've not just flown from one continent to another, I've flown AROUND the planet. I literally study the planet.

Are you sure? I've just watched a video explaining that this isn't true. Precession requires that one end of the axis is fixed, and that's not the case with the Earth.

tremendous diagramatic explanation

Thank you, this helped me a lot

Another really interesting presentation. The general public is certainly very ignorant about all of this. I was somewhat as well!

Best video ever i have seen, thank you very much for uploading.

😆 I'm studying astrology, and astronomy.... and I loved this!

[@rohithbr4341]

What do you mean by "everything will be backward"? When will this reversal happen? If this is a gradual change do you mean the seasons will gradually shift? Is that what we're facing and perhaps calling it "climate change"?

[@ItsJustAstronomical]

Before that I had just said "Geminis will be born in December, Cancers in January..." Everything will be backwards in the sense that the Earth will be on the opposite side of the Sun in January or in other words the Sun will be in the opposite constellation in the sky. The seasons will not shift with respect to the calendar. The position of the earth will shift with respect to the calendar. This change will happen over 13,000 years. This actually does have an effect on climate, but it's very gradual. I talk about this in another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KaaWurqL6BjaM

[@rohithbr4341]

​@@ItsJustAstronomical What I meant was if the axial tilt changes from +23.5 to -23.5 in 13000 years from now, then during December the northern hemisphere will experience summer solstice instead of winter solstice, right? Pls clarify.

[@ItsJustAstronomical]

@@rohithbr4341 no, it won't. As I explain in the video, our calendar is based on the tropical year meaning it's based on the seasons. Winter will still be in December. The seasons would only reverse if we used a sidereal calendar which we don't. It's only backwards in the sense that "Geminis will be born in December..."

[@rohithbr4341]

@@ItsJustAstronomical Thx again. So what you're saying is the tropical zodiac timelines (for each sign) is a dynamic thing. The "from" and "to" dates of each tropical zodiac sign changes over time?

[@tandem_open]

Thank you for your video!

[@tommywatterson5276]

The earth has been " wobbling " on its axis for millennia. It's just so slow and occurs over the millennia, we never notice it. Seasonal changes happen +/- and that's it. Spin a top on the floor, it wobbles as it slows too. Same thing.

[@SevenDeuce072]

Is this wobbling affecting the climate? Or do you think it’s another cause?

[@ItsJustAstronomical]

It does affect the climate over very long periods of time. It's not causing much of any change over the past 100 years. This video explains more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KaaWurqL6BjaM

[@derickramdeen4796]

Does the sun move around the zodiacs or is it our perspective that is changing?

@@cosmoanayiotos6924 11,500 years ago it was the end of the fourth Glacial Era and the end of the Paleolithic Period. Men were making very refined stone tools, they knew art (plenty of cave paintings and graffitis, bone and ivory figurines), they buried their dead with their belongings, they wore jewelry, they hunted very big preys (so they must have had a good social organisation)... not at all "animals", you little ignorant.
