1 00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:02,629 [Music] 2 00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:04,560 what's up for november 3 00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:08,160 sunset planets a partial lunar eclipse 4 00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:11,120 and the return of the winter stars 5 00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:13,519 from november 6 through the 11th watch 6 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:16,080 the moon glide past venus saturn and 7 00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,680 jupiter after sunset in the 8 00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:19,199 south-southwest 9 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:21,039 in particular if you step outside for a 10 00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:23,279 look on november 7th you'll find the 11 00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:25,599 four-day-old crescent moon just about 12 00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:27,920 two degrees away from venus should be 13 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:30,480 really pretty so don't miss it and now 14 00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:32,239 through early december you'll find 15 00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:34,079 jupiter and saturn drawing a little 16 00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:37,440 closer to venus each night 17 00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:39,920 a partial lunar eclipse is on the way 18 00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:42,320 taking place overnight on november 18th 19 00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,320 and 19th when the moon slips into 20 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,879 earth's shadow for a couple of hours 21 00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,559 weather permitting the eclipse will be 22 00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:50,399 visible from any location where the moon 23 00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:52,000 appears above the horizon during the 24 00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:54,160 eclipse depending on your time zone 25 00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:56,000 it'll occur earlier or later in the 26 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:58,320 evening for you now that's a huge swath 27 00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,760 of the planet that will be able to see 28 00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,000 at least part of the eclipse including 29 00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:04,640 north and south america eastern asia 30 00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:06,880 australia and the pacific region so 31 00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,640 check the timing of its visibility for 32 00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:10,000 your area 33 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,479 for u.s east coast observers the partial 34 00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:14,640 eclipse begins a little after 2 am 35 00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:17,280 reaching its maximum at 4 in the morning 36 00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:19,040 for observers on the west coast that 37 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:21,280 translates to beginning just after 11 pm 38 00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,520 with a maximum at 1 am 39 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,520 partial lunar eclipses might not be 40 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,600 quite as spectacular as total lunar 41 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,600 eclipses where the moon is completely 42 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:31,920 covered in earth's shadow but they occur 43 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,240 more frequently and that just means more 44 00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,240 opportunities to witness little changes 45 00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:38,479 in our solar system that sometimes occur 46 00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,200 right before our eyes 47 00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:43,280 all month long if you're up late and 48 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,360 cast your gaze toward the east you'll 49 00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,280 notice some familiar companions have 50 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,520 begun rising late in the night 51 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:51,759 the familiar stars of northern winter 52 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,159 skies are returning rising late at night 53 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,640 and sitting high in the south by dawn 54 00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,719 you'll find the pleiades star cluster 55 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:00,799 leading the constellations taurus the 56 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,600 bull and the hunter orion followed by 57 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:06,000 the brightest star in the sky sirius 58 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:07,680 all of them back to keep us company on 59 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:09,200 the long winter nights here in the 60 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,800 northern hemisphere 61 00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,480 and for those in the southern hemisphere 62 00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:14,319 they're keeping you company on shorter 63 00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:16,239 nights as spring gives way to summer 64 00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:17,280 there 65 00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:19,120 a fun note about the pleiades this month 66 00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:21,280 is that several of the eight asteroids 67 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:23,760 to be visited by nasa's lucy mission are 68 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,239 located in that part of the sky the lucy 69 00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,400 spacecraft launched on october 16th on 70 00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,319 its 12-year mission to visit a bunch of 71 00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,480 special asteroids called the trojans 72 00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:34,319 they share the orbit of jupiter with a 73 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,680 group of them leading the planet and 74 00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,680 another group following behind it 75 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,680 lucy will be the first space mission to 76 00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:41,920 explore this unique group of asteroids 77 00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,440 providing new insights about the 78 00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:45,519 formation and early history of our solar 79 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:47,280 system 80 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:48,879 here are the phases of the moon for 81 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,760 november 82 00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,440 you can catch up on all of nasa's 83 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,280 missions to explore the solar system and 84 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,680 beyond at nasa.gov 85 00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:59,280 i'm preston dykes from nasa's jet 86 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:01,360 propulsion laboratory and that's what's
