1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,833
HEY HOWDY STAR GAZERS, TRACE 
DOMINGUEZ HERE. THE ECLIPTIC IS 
AN IMAGINARY LINE AROUND THE 
PLANET.

2
00:00:09,833 --> 00:00:15,166
WHEN THE ECLIPTIC GOES STRAIGHT 
UP LIKE NOW WE GET THE RARE 
PHENOMENON OF CALLED FALSE 
DUSK.

3
00:00:15,166 --> 00:00:19,033
HIT THE TWILIGHT AFTER SUNSET 
AND LOOK WEST. STARTING AT THE 
HORIZON

4
00:00:19,033 --> 00:00:23,266
AND EXTENDING ABOUT HALF WAY UP 
IN THE SKY LOOK FOR A FAINT 
ROUNDED PYRAMID OF LIGHT.

5
00:00:23,266 --> 00:00:26,466
IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE THERE’S A 
CITY OVER THE HORIZON SO WHEN 
PICKING A SPOT,

6
00:00:26,466 --> 00:00:31,966
FIND ONE AWAY FROM A CITY, ALSO 
CALLED THE ZODIACAL LIGHT, FALSE 
DUSK IS CAUSED

7
00:00:31,966 --> 00:00:36,633
BY THE SUN REFLECTING ON DUST 
PARTICLES SUSPENDED IN SPACE 
*AROUND* OUR PLANET.

8
00:00:36,633 --> 00:00:41,466
WHEN IT’S VERTICAL IT’S LIKE 
LOOKING AT OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, 
EDGEWISE. THE ECLIPTIC IS THE 
PLANE

9
00:00:41,466 --> 00:00:45,766
OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM; IT’S WHERE 
WE FIND PLANETS AND OTHER 
SUN-ORBITING OBJECTS.

10
00:00:45,766 --> 00:00:49,433
IT’S VISIBLE IN DARK LOCATIONS 
YEAR ROUND, BUT IN SPRING 
EVENINGS IT'S AT ITS BEST

11
00:00:49,433 --> 00:00:59,733
ENJOY THIS SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE, 
AND KEEP LOOKING UP!
