1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Whether you're prepping a meal for a crowded table or

2
00:00:02,799 --> 00:00:06,519
simply trying to whip up something quick and special for yourself,

3
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:10,640
you need an ingredient that delivers every time, like smooth

4
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:14,800
curry gold spreadable butter, crafted with milk from Irish grass

5
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:19,480
fed cows and expertly blended. It's naturally golden and deliciously

6
00:00:19,559 --> 00:00:23,199
creamy for the taste that means everything. Whether it's hot, buttered,

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:26,399
toast or build your own sandwich. Carry Gold is ready

8
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,359
to spread, straight from the fridge. Carry Gold simply made,

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,519
simply spread.

10
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:45,679
Speaker 2: I'm Doctor Skye and welcome once again to the Doctor

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:50,640
Sky Experience. With our monthly Doctor Sky Events calendar of

12
00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:53,479
what you can see. No matter whether you live in

something here for everybody. Welcome once again to the Sky Experience.

15
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:04,680
Heard proudly on the blow towards Signal Talk Radio seventy

you have already, many many thanks, We love you for that.

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,959
The show airs midnight Eastern daylight time Fridays the two

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,719
am Saturday Eastern daylighttime and Saturday night midnight two am

25
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:46,079
Sunday Eastern daylighttime with great information as you tell us

26
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,959
from the realms of astronomy, space, aviation, and weather. Let's

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,879
settle in and get set for one of the most

28
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:57,040
interesting months of the calendar year, July twenty twenty six.

29
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,280
Let's be in with the moon. Moon, of course, is

30
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,200
an object of intrigue. Whether you're a beginner or well

31
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:07,480
seasoned observer, lots to see. The month opens up as

32
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,000
we find out that the moon is weaning. It moves

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,919
on to last quarter moon, which usually rises around midnight

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,800
on the seventh of July. Moon then continues to move

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,439
on as it moves on to its closest position for

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,919
the month, that's on the thirteenth. We call that perigy.

37
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:26,319
If you remember, the Moon's orbit is not perfectly circular,

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,680
it is elliptically shaped. New Moon the dark of the moon,

39
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:33,159
and this is going to be a very interesting segue

40
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:35,759
when we talk a little bit more about other things

41
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,599
other than planets that you can see in the sky.

42
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:40,280
The new moon, the dark of the moon is a

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800
great time to look for the elusive Milky Way in

44
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:47,159
the darkest of skies. More on that later. Then, if

45
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,240
you're a very keen eyed observer, you could look into

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,120
the west northwest just after sunset by about the fifteenth

47
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:58,919
but the thinnest sliver of moonlight as it waxes. Then

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,120
the moon continues on the first quarter. But how about

49
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:07,080
this another outstanding, beautiful full moon, this one on the

50
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,319
morning hours of July to twenty ninth, ten thirty six

51
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:15,400
am Eastern daylight time. This moon officially known as the

52
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,280
full book Buck Moon and over the full thunder Moon,

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,080
and they're probably a whole bunch of other appropriate names.

54
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,560
But how about thunder moon. As the monsoon continues to

55
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,280
increase here in Arizona and thunderstorm season is well under way,

56
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,400
let's talk a little bit more about other things that

57
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:36,759
are happening. Did you know that the Earth was farthest

58
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,719
from the Sun that on the sixth a little over

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,479
ninety four million miles. Hard to believe when temperatures in

60
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:48,840
the northern hemisphere are at record breaking levels. Here's something

61
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,120
interesting that you can take a look at. On the

62
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680
ninth of July. If you look just at the beautiful

63
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,039
planet Venus, which by the way, is so bright you

64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,879
can't miss it. In the northwest, maybe a pair of

65
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:02,400
Binacatus might suffyce, or maybe the naked eye Venus and

66
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:06,520
a star cold Regulus in Leo. The star Regulus is

67
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,879
the brightest star in the constellation Leo, the Lion, some

68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,680
seventy seven light years away. Why mention it, because Venus

69
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:17,519
and Regulus will be slightly less than one degree apart,

70
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,839
and I'm sure you can see that with the naked

71
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,360
eye if you indeed have some clear skyes. Let's talk

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,120
with you about some other amazing things that are happening

73
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,199
in our heavens. The moon will be near the Red

74
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,399
God of War the planet Mars on the morning of

75
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,920
the eleventh. The planet Mercury, which adorned the western and

76
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,399
northwestern skies throughout early portions of June and mid June,

77
00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:45,199
is now moving into inferior conjunction, meaning it transitions of

78
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,680
the evening to the morning sky. Early morning sky watchers,

79
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,160
the Red God of War is within five degrees of

80
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,319
the brilliant star and taras the eye of the bull

81
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,600
of star cold Aldeboron that's sixty five years away. It's

82
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,079
also interesting once the moon waxes again, we find out

83
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,759
that on the seventeenth, you can't miss it, the crescent moon.

84
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:11,680
What a beautiful set. You want to take some amazing

85
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,639
images with your smartphone or even more professional cameras. We

86
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,959
find out that the moon is near Venus on the seventeenth,

87
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,240
the moon glides past a brilliant star called Spika, which

88
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,480
is in the constellation Virgo the Virgin. On the twenty first,

89
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,720
and by the way, if you look at that star

90
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,480
in Virgo, that star Spika is about two hundred and

91
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,800
fifty light years away. So you got it. And the

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,399
Declaration of Independence was inked and signed by the fifty

93
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,920
six signatures, the light of that star thereabouts left. Then

94
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,639
it just got here. Now isn't that amazing? What happens

95
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,199
in the world of astronomy. On the twenty fourth, the moon,

96
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,120
as it continues to race on toward its full phase,

97
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,480
we find it very close to the beautiful star in

98
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,199
Scorpius Ontaris, which means the rival of Mars and in

99
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,560
some other locations around the world. The Moon will cover

100
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:10,800
up three eclipse the star on Tarians. For those of

101
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,319
you that don't like the fact that Pluto was a dwarf,

102
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,560
Pluto is at its best on the twenty sixth, But

103
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,759
good luck with that because you'll need a massive telescope

104
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:24,720
to see it, or a moderate sized telescope with a

105
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,519
lot of luck. How about this on the twenty ninth,

106
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,160
the planet Jupiter that you've been seeing with that beautiful

107
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,560
romantic duet. Remember back in early June when who knows

108
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,040
who courted who? Jupiter was courting Venus or was a

109
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,560
Venus courting Jupiter. Well, the planet Jupiter moves into the conjunction,

110
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:46,560
that is the solar conjunction. It transitions from the evening

111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,959
to the morning sky and barely if you can see it,

112
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,040
there is a meteor show or called the southern delta aquarence.

113
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Now that's a shower that would be visible in the

114
00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:01,360
southeast sky best around the thirty or the thirty first,

115
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:04,800
But then again we're dealing with full moon or just

116
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:08,680
post full moon conditions. Now, let's also talk about something

117
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,040
interesting I mentioned I mentioned before the dark of the moon,

118
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,839
the new moon. If you're on vacation, let's say, or

119
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:19,560
somewhere where their lights are diminished. Take a look right

120
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,279
around mid month southern sky, right after maybe about an

121
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:28,399
hour or two after sunset, look due south. You will

122
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:32,439
see the para. Binoculars will help the most incredible star

123
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:36,240
fields of the Milky Way through the zodiac signs of Scorpius,

124
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,360
the Scorpion, and then the nuclear core of our galaxy,

125
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:44,800
the constellation Sagittarius. And let me say, let me tell you, folks,

126
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,879
if you have the opportunity to do this in dark

127
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,040
skies with the pair of binoculars, you're going to remember

128
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:54,160
this event. Because many people say that literally without using

129
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:56,959
too many out of the world you know, of this

130
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:01,800
world words, it literally is an astronomic experience. Take a

131
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,199
star chart and learn the different groups of stars that

132
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,800
are there. Also many clusters, many globular clusters. These are

133
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:12,680
stars that maybe have two or three hundred thousand stars

134
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,959
compacted together. One of them right in that teapot area

135
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,360
of Sagittarius, up near the top of it, would be

136
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,600
a group of stars called Messia twenty two. What's that

137
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,120
in English language, It's a massive globular cluster. You see

138
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,720
it in the night sky with the darkness and the

139
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,240
beautiful milky way, you will be most impressed. Questions that

140
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:40,559
you may have for me email me Dr Sky at

141
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,519
WABC radio dot com. And we certainly appreciate you and

142
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,720
all the guests that we get on our shows talking

143
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,440
about If you've never heard the show, tune in. The

144
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,279
Doctor Sky Experience talks with you, not at you, about

145
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,720
the amazing wonders from the realms of astronomy, in space, aviation,

146
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:02,519
and wather and so much more, ladies and gentlemen, and

147
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,240
also stories of American exceptionalism. How about that? As we

148
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,679
celebrate part two hundred and fifty feth anniversary, A listener

149
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:13,679
said it, and I used the quote often and I

150
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,480
do believe it. He said. The Doctor Sky Experience is

151
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:22,320
an antidote to negative news fatigue. What say you, health

152
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,000
and happiness and Claire Skies as we move deeply into

153
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:28,440
the summer of twenty twenty six here on the Doctor

154
