IT’S STAR GAZER’S BIRTHDAY - I
THOUGHT#
I’D DEBUNK THE FAVORITE
MILLENNIAL PHRASE:

00:05.933 --> 00:08.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
“ANOTHER TRIP AROUND THE SUN”
USING THE STARS!

00:08.866 --> 00:14.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
HIT THE DARKNESS AT FOUR AM.
LOOK SOUTHEAST.#
ORION’S SPARKLY BELT IS EASY TO
SPOT. IT POINTS

00:14.000 --> 00:19.433 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
TOWARD SIRIUS, THE DOG STAR OF
CANIS MAJOR. IN#
ANCIENT TIMES THE EGYPTIANS
REALIZED SIRIUS ROSE

00:19.433 --> 00:24.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
ABOUT THE SAME TIME EVERY YEAR,
NEAR THE NILE#
FLOOD! THEY REALIZED A YEAR WAS
- 365 DAYS.

00:24.566 --> 00:29.033 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
BUT LATER, GREEK HIPPARCHUS
REALIZED THE#
EQUINOXES WERE OFF, SOMETHING
SHIFTED! ONE

00:29.033 --> 00:34.400 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
YEAR IS CLOSER TO 365 DAYS, SIX
HOURS! WE#
NEEDED A QUADRENNIAL LEAP DAY TO
FIX IT.

00:34.400 --> 00:37.666 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
NOW TURN LEFT AND USE THE END OF
THE#
BIG DIPPER TO FIND, THE NORTH
STAR.

00:37.666 --> 00:42.166 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
BY WATCHING POLARIS AND THE
CELESTIAL#
NORTH POLE AND USING PRECISE
STAR CHARTS:

00:42.166 --> 00:46.733 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
THE ROMANS REALIZED WE’D
OVERCORRECTED#
AND NEEDED TO SKIP LEAP YEARS!
WHEW!!

00:46.733 --> 00:51.133 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
ANYWAY, WE’RE NOT IN THE EXACT
SAME#
PLACE EVERY TRIP - BUT IT’S
CLOSE.

00:51.133 --> 00:56.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
