00:00:01,666 --> 00:00:05,933
IT’S STAR GAZER’S BIRTHDAY - I 
THOUGHT# 
I’D DEBUNK THE FAVORITE 
MILLENNIAL PHRASE:

2
00:00:05,933 --> 00:00:08,866
“ANOTHER TRIP AROUND THE SUN” 
USING THE STARS!

3
00:00:08,866 --> 00:00:14,000
HIT THE DARKNESS AT FOUR AM. 
LOOK SOUTHEAST.# 
ORION’S SPARKLY BELT IS EASY TO 
SPOT. IT POINTS

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,433
TOWARD SIRIUS, THE DOG STAR OF 
CANIS MAJOR. IN# 
ANCIENT TIMES THE EGYPTIANS 
REALIZED SIRIUS ROSE

5
00:00:19,433 --> 00:00:24,566
ABOUT THE SAME TIME EVERY YEAR, 
NEAR THE NILE# 
FLOOD! THEY REALIZED A YEAR WAS 
- 365 DAYS.

6
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:29,033
BUT LATER, GREEK HIPPARCHUS 
REALIZED THE# 
EQUINOXES WERE OFF, SOMETHING 
SHIFTED! ONE

7
00:00:29,033 --> 00:00:34,400
YEAR IS CLOSER TO 365 DAYS, SIX 
HOURS! WE# 
NEEDED A QUADRENNIAL LEAP DAY TO 
FIX IT.

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,666
NOW TURN LEFT AND USE THE END OF 
THE# 
BIG DIPPER TO FIND, THE NORTH 
STAR.

9
00:00:37,666 --> 00:00:42,166
BY WATCHING POLARIS AND THE 
CELESTIAL# 
NORTH POLE AND USING PRECISE 
STAR CHARTS:

10
00:00:42,166 --> 00:00:46,733
THE ROMANS REALIZED WE’D 
OVERCORRECTED# 
AND NEEDED TO SKIP LEAP YEARS! 
WHEW!!

11
00:00:46,733 --> 00:00:51,133
ANYWAY, WE’RE NOT IN THE EXACT 
SAME# 
PLACE EVERY TRIP - BUT IT’S 
CLOSE.

12
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:56,000
THANKS FOR WATCHING STAR GAZERS, 
I’M# 
TRACE DOMINGUEZ, KEEP LOOKIN’ 
UP!
