00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 1>You're with me, Doctor Sky. I'm the Doctor Sky Experience

2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>heard exclusively here on Talk Radio seventy seven WABC, as

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>we like to call it, and many others agree, the

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>crown jewel of radio, the iconic seventy seven Talk Radio,

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>beaming ourselves out of New York, around the nation, around

6
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the world. And I'm confident even I'm into the cospers.

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>This particular podcast is dedicated to the upcoming annular eclipse

8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 1>of the Sun that takes place this coming Saturday, October

9
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the fourteenth for a good portion of the nation. Sid

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Brank and Relaxes. We'd give you all the details on

11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>this most amazing evount, but first a word of caution.

12
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 1>As with any eclipse of the Sun, in our opinion,

13
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it's necessary to have the proper solar glasses to view

14
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>the eclipse. But if you're not able to get those

15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>in time, we also recommend that you get these ahead

16
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>of time for the big major total solar eclipse that

17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 1>will take place on April the eighth, twenty twenty four,

18
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a good and running around a good portion of phonation.

19
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>We recommend those solar glasses by going to tsee seventeen

20
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 1>dot com. That's tsee seventeen dot com. It stands for

21
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the total solar eclipse of twenty seventeen that yours truly

22
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>and many others got to see. And that's an amazing

23
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 1>event that we'll talk about later in this edition of

24
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 1>the Doctor Sky podcast. But first let's talk specifically about

25
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>what an annular eclipse of the sawn is. This beautiful

26
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>sacred geometry, as we like to call it, occurs when

27
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the moon, for an annular solar eclipse, is at its

28
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 1>farthest point only from the Earth. We find that position

29
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>called apagene. So on that day, the moon, for some

30
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 1>lucky observers that are in a path that's about one

31
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixteen miles wide that moves through many Western states,

32
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they will experience the great Ring of Fire, which you'll

33
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>see literally the Moon in between that in covering up

34
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>what not all of the Sun, but there'll be a

35
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>big ring of light around the Sun because of the

36
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Moon's smaller size. We call that the ring of fire.

37
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Now we'll talk a little bit more about some of

38
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the states that will experience that angular eclipse, but for

39
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>a good portion of the United States there'll be a

40
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>partial solar eclipse. So back to the safety issue. If

41
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>you're not able to have the solder glasses in time

42
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>for this eclipse. Here's another interesting and kind of humorous

43
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>way but safe to view the eclipse. Get a real

44
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>saltine cracker or two, yes, a saltine cracker. The original

45
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 1>ones have thirteen holes. Hold that saltine cracker as your

46
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>back is to the sun, and behind that or in

47
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>front of that, I should say, have a sheet of

48
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>paper so the light shines through the little holes, shines

49
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 1>onto the piece of paper. When the eclipse reaches its

50
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 1>near maximum, you'll be able to see thirteen small images

51
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Moon covering part of the Sun. Now, that's

52
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>in interesting and for children alike. It's a safe way

53
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And of course you can have a

54
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>special event centered around that, maybe an eclipse party or such.

55
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Those ideas are for your own ways to create more

56
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>fun and excitement. But at least we gave you another

57
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>safe way to view. How often do these annular eclipses

58
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Sun happen? Let's talk specifically about solar eclipses.

59
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>All solar eclipses occur with a repetitive cycle of some

60
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>eighteen years and months and days. Now, if that doesn't

61
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 1>mean that this eclipse will occur again some eighteen plus

62
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 1>years and days, but it does mean somewhere on the

63
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Earth this cycle of eclipses will repeat. They're known as

64
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Seros cycles, and this particular Ceros, meaning this group of

65
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>eclipses is part of a Seros cycle called Cyros number

66
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 1>one thirty four. This will be eclipse forty four of

67
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy one eclipses. They started back in the year twelve

68
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>forty eight with partial eclipses of the Sun and also

69
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>some annular and total solar eclae and they move on

70
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple one hundred years from now too, So take

71
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>advantage of seeing this. But let's give the appropriate times

72
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>for our New York area listeners, primarily those listening directly

73
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>in the environs of New York City and states around

74
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 1>there on talk radio sevent WABC. So on Saturday morning,

75
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 1>October the fourteenth, and Saturday that date you will see

76
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sun becomes partially eclipsed by the Moon starting at

77
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve oh eight pm Eastern daylight time. The maximum eclipse

78
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>for the New York area are partially eclipsed will occur

79
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>at one twenty two pm Eastern daylight time. On Saturday,

80
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the fourteenth of October. The whole event is over by

81
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>two thirty six pm Eastern daylight time. How much of

82
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the sun will be covered in the New York City

83
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>area thirty five percent of the sun will be covered

84
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 1>up by the moon. But for those lucky enough to

85
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>be in the path of annularity, as I mentioned before,

86
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 1>that very slim area of some one hundred and sixteen

87
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>miles wide, moving across the states of Oregon, portions of Nevada, Utah,

88
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>far northeastern corner of Arizona, into the deep part of

89
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico, and down into the Texas area along the

90
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Gulf Coast, and then down into Central and South America,

91
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you will get to see in certain locations in the

92
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>United States up to four minutes and say forty seconds

93
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>of that moon literally in the center of the sun

94
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 1>with the ring of fire. Have proper eye protection. But

95
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of this particular podcast, the links that

96
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 1>we have are quite interesting. We'll give you all the

97
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>information for your location wherever you're listening to the Doctor

98
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Sky Experience here on top Radio Southerly Southern WABC, and

99
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>will also add two of our very interesting YouTube videos

100
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>which cover the annular eclipse of the Sun back in

101
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty twelve when we were at the Brand Canyon in Arizona,

102
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and our very special treat for all of you if

103
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you've never seen a total solar eclipse, our Doctor Sky

104
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 1>experience as we went to the beautiful state of Idaho

105
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 1>in a town called Rigby where we're at the Blue

106
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Heron Inn with about five hundred other eclipse fans. But

107
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>more important than that, you will get to see what

108
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like to see a great total solar eclipse. Now,

109
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 1>not to be overly repetitive, but the next great total

110
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 1>solar eclipse will take place April eighth of twenty twenty four.

111
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>It begins over Mexico, southern Texas, moves up into areas

112
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 1>like Arkansas, Missouri, all the way into southern Illinois, up

113
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>into Indiana, into Ohio, and along they area for our

114
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>WABC friends right up in the far western area of

115
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>New York State in downtown Buffalo, New York. But hoping

116
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 1>your weather conditions will be clear, as it continues to

117
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 1>move up into Vermont, up into Maine and up into

118
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the Maritimes. Now, why am I going through this great detail?

119
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 1>There's plenty of time to talk about the eclipse, the

120
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 1>total eclipse, not really. If you find rooms in the

121
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>area on the eclipse path, expect to pay a considerable sum.

122
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Because of the popularity of the event. Best weather conditions

123
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 1>for the total solar eclipse are more likely in Texas.

124
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Areas just to the west of San Antonio, Fredericksburg, Texas,

125
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>areas around waycoun and even downtown Dallas, Texas experience the

126
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>total solar eclipse. That's something you shouldn't miss. So once

127
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 1>again in summer ray the annular eclipse of the Sun

128
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 1>taking place Saturday, October the fourteenth. For our New York friends,

129
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>once again, it begins at twelve oh eight pm Eastern

130
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 1>daylight time. Thirty five percent of the Sun will be

131
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>covered by the moon at one twenty two pm Eastern

132
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 1>daylight time. And for the rest of the nation, of course,

133
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 1>wanting to see this, check the links that are listed

134
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>below in our YouTube videos. And once again, if you'd

135
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 1>like to get those solar glasses, why don't we say

136
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 1>that because it's so important to protect your eyes. I

137
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 1>need not remind you about that. Many people believe it

138
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 1>or not. I've stared directly at the Sun using other

139
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>devices that are not necessarily the safe way because it

140
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't shield out the infrared or even the light ambient

141
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>light that's coming there from the sun. So protect your

142
