- These are in-sky size of solar system objects relative to eachother over the next 3 years. The Moon's changing position & speed in its 5.1° inclination orbit makes it appear to wobble. This is known as Libration and it allows us to see up to 58% of the lunar surface!
We need to specify angles precisely so we use arc seconds: 1° = 60 arc minutes (′) and 1′ = 60 arc seconds (″) - so 1″ = 1/3600° !

This is ecstasy for the mind.
Thank you, sir James, for this
Honestly, some of the best videos on here. Along with Ben Eller and Rick Beato (gotta get your 🎸 on).
Thank you 👍
Is the moon cartwheel every night, normal in your opinion doc ?
why didnt you make the moon center so we know the ratio?
hi dr
Is the sun stationary in this universe or is it moving and in what direction?
its orbiting the center of the milky way so yes
No such thing as 'Stationary' exists in this universe. Everything is relative.
I want the angle of Saturn to be represented as well.
