1
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome once again to the Doctor Sky experience heard exclusively

2
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>here on Talk radio seventy seven WABC. We like to

3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>call WABC, and rightfully so, the crown jewel of radio,

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the iconic seventy seven Talk Radio WABC, beaming proudly out

5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 1>of New York City, the nation, the world, and I'm

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>sure even out to the Cosmos. Welcome once again. If

7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you have any questions or comments, my email is simply

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.439
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky Show. That's Drsky Show at gmail dot com.

9
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>And here now is your mid June twenty twenty four

10
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Sky Events calendar. As we continue to move around the

11
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Sun with great rapid speed, the month of June continues

12
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>as we approach the beginning of summer that occurs on

13
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>June the twentieth, significantly with some of the longest days

14
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of the entire year and shorter nights as you commonly know.

15
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 1>But right now, as we do this update, we find

16
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>out the moon just passed its first quarter phase on

17
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the fourteenth. Now, in my opinion, this is a great

18
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>time to take a good look at the lunar surface, well,

19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>even with the naked eye, but obviously you'll need a

20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 1>pair of binoculars or a telescope to reveal some of

21
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the great detail. As we approach the fifty fifth anniversary

22
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>of the great historic Apollo eleven landing June by twentieth

23
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen sixty nine gives us a good opportunity to

24
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>take a look with binoculars and telescopes. And what would

25
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 1>we see there In the first quarter phase, we would

26
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>see the greatest of shadow relief along the middle of

27
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the moon, that area called the terminator. So get out

28
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>one of those lunar atlases, if you have a small telescope,

29
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you'll get to see great detail and learn about the

30
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>great mode, the so called oceans, those are lava beds

31
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>on the moon, and the great craters. But the simple

32
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 1>thing is great shadow relief. At this time you'll actually

33
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>see in telescopes the sun rising over the top of

34
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 1>the mountain peaks and then streaming shadows into the basins

35
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of many craters. But things get better after the fourteenth

36
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 1>The moon, of course, moves on to Apigaee on that date,

37
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>farthest from the Earth. Then we call that phase of

38
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the moon between first quarter in full a gibbous phase.

39
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Actually the moon looks elliptical or egg shaped, but the

40
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>real show for the month of June, in my opinion,

41
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>will be the beautiful full strawberry moon on the evening

42
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty second of June. Don't missen because at

43
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>that particular time, the moon is getting closer to its

44
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>position we call perigee, and that is when the Moon

45
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>is closest to the Earth. For planets, you may have

46
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>heard about a great planetary alignment in the early morning sky. Well,

47
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>due to some unfortunate media hype. We always tell you

48
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the truth here. Even though those planets may be symbolically

49
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>lined up into the eastern sky, the difficulty of seeing

50
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>all of those is very difficult from cities or even

51
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>in the darkest of locations. So what can you say.

52
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>The planet Venus is moved into the glare of the

53
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Sun and it will slowly emerge into the evening sky

54
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>as we move through the months of July and August.

55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll have more to say about that. But in the

56
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>morning sky, the two obvious planets are simply Saturn and

57
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 1>the planet Jupiter, and those would be easy to see

58
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>with the naked eye as they hug just a few

59
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>degrees above the sky in the eastern part of the

60
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>sky northeast to be precise during the early morning hours.

61
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Either way, this particular upcoming summer season is a great

62
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 1>time to observe some of the more fascinating objects in

63
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the sky, and since many people do have the luxury

64
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>of taking a vacation to darker skies, here's a few

65
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>doctor sky tips. My suggestion would be, if you're looking

66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>into the southern part of the sky, do it when

67
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the moon is closest to now. Now, that just happened

68
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>on the sixth of June, and you'll have to wade

69
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>into the early portion of July to do exactly what

70
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying and what am I saying. With a pair

71
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>of binoculars during those dark of the moon, when the

72
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 1>moon is not simply visible, take a good look with

73
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>binoculars around ten pm local time in the South. You'll

74
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>get to see, in my opinion, the most amazing view

75
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 1>in dark skies. That is the beauty of the summer

76
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Milky Way. Did you know that the core of our

77
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Milky Way galaxy is twenty seven thousand light years away

78
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 1>in the constellation of Sagittarius the Archer, and on many

79
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 1>star charts, Sagittarius looks symbolic like that of a big

80
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>teapot in the sky. Well, just to the right of

81
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the front spout of that so called teapot would be

82
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the area which we call the core of our milky Way. Now,

83
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 1>what will you see in monoculars This most amazing myriad

84
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>of stars and gas in the sky. And just know

85
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>inside that core is a super massive black cole. Nothing

86
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to worry about here, but simply beautiful. Share that with

87
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 1>friends and neighbors, especially if you're on vacation. Now here's

88
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 1>another thing that even city dwellers can do, seeing visible

89
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 1>man made satellites like what the International Space Station, the

90
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Hubble Space tell Us and now of the evolution in

91
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the sky, the Chinese Tiangong Space Station. So, without further ado,

92
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>go to this website Heavens dash Above dot com, and

93
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you, when you plug in your city, take

94
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 1>a good look at that website. Because let's say you're

95
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>having an outdoor barbecue or doing something in the evening.

96
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>You can be the star of your own party. How

97
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 1>you can tell people, Hey, in about twenty minutes, the

98
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>space station is going to pop up right above that tree.

99
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>People will go really and yes, it'll happen just like clockwork.

100
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So Heavens nash Above dot com. And I want to

101
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>thank John Katzimatitis, owner and operator of WABC, for having

102
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>me part of his regular Sunday show, The Cats Roundtable,

103
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>where we give out great information as people tell us

104
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and you tell us from the realms of astronomy, space, aviation,

105
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 1>and weather, and also some stories about American exceptionalism in

106
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 1>the mix. And it's a privilege and honor to be

107
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 1>with legendary broadcaster Frank Morano every other Wednesday at one

108
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 1>am as we change with his permission the name of

109
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the Other Side of Midnight to cosmic conversations. So tune

110
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in then with your questions and comments and so much more.

111
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Until then, I'm doctor Sky, wishing you the best for

112
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>health and happiness and above all, well what could be

113
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.199
<v Speaker 1>better than that well, hopefully clear skies. As simply, I'm

114
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>your navigator on the highway to the heavens. And let

115
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>me say this, ladies and gentlemen, this highway has no

116
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>tolls on it, so you have the opportunity to experience

117
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>the most beautiful sights in the nighttime sky, particularly at

118
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 1>this particular time of year, and as we peer into

119
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 1>our own galaxy with questions that we still want answered

120
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>about the nature of the universe, Where did we come from?

121
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>We go back to a famous quote from Shakespeare and

122
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Act one, scene five of Hamlet, and it goes like this,

123
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>and I quote, there are more things in heaven and

124
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 1>earth ratio than are dreamt of in your philosophy. And

125
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 1>what does that really mean. It means that you imagination

126
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>may be limited, but many things that we simply don't

127
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>know and have not been discovered yet or even dreamt

128
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of yet. Hopefully you'll have a great summer and appreciate

129
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>all of you listening to the Doctor Sky Experience here

130
