Stargazing in the Southern Hemisphere ✨ w/Brian Cox #science #space #astronomyAdded:
Why is Australia a great place for stargazers? [music] Well, part of it is the geometry of the solar system, so that the southern hemisphere points towards the galactic center. So, the Milky Way is far richer.
If you come from the north, you're dazzled by the Milky Way [music] here because Australia points towards the galactic center. And you also have the [music] two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, which just dominate the sky, beautiful things which you can't see from the north. So, in the north, we're pointing outwards [music] to the outer sort of backwaters of our galaxy. So, you're very lucky here.
