1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Walter Sterling, Oh what and doctor Sky. Doctor Sky. Now,

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.519
<v Speaker 1>the reason doctor Sky is on with us is because

3
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>he needs a cover. He's deep in the woods of

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the Southwest, as many witness protection people are. His name

5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>changes fairly regularly, and doctor Sky spells his name with

6
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 1>an E at the end. Yet he's not Polish. Good morning, Walter,

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>doctor Sky. You're on today because there are three enormous

8
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>astronomical events. Doctor Sky is a weekend host, which is

9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>in radio perjorative term, but in fact, Casey Caseum was

10
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>a weekend host, and I think you should view yourself

11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in the same league with Casey Caseum, another weekend host,

12
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky.

13
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you very much. Good to be with you, Walter.

14
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>A lot of activity is we're going to be talking.

15
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>He earned six million dollars a year at ABC, just

16
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 1>to have a point of reference at your next negotiation

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 1>with the Catsmetites. Now, yeah, but maybe they'll throw in

18
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>coupons and beans, you know, Goya beans, the whole package,

19
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 1>gift package of goia beans. Now listen to thank you.

20
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>You're darn right you do. Now listen. There are three

21
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>major celestial events, and doctor Sky is an expert on Obviously,

22
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Sky things, and he's brilliant at it. He gets the

23
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>best guests about it. I hope you listen to him

24
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 1>on the weekends because you won't have a better time.

25
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>But something amazing happened on the Moon yesterday and right

26
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>now if you look up, there's spectacular gifts from the universe.

27
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 1>So please let's start on the moon, doctors guy.

28
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Yes, Walter. As we mentioned before, and we

29
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>had the other interview earlier in the week, we were

30
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 2>all expecting big things, the big boom on the Moon.

31
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>And in case people are just tuning in and never

32
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>heard about this, SpaceX intentionally had a large booster the

33
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>upper stage of what they call it the alpha stage.

34
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 2>It's about forty five feet long by twelve feet wide.

35
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>And though it's history right now, there was a impact

36
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>with that particular body. At around two thirty five a

37
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>m Eastern day lifetime, a day ago. I was out

38
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 2>with the big telescope, and many people who have telescopes

39
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>understand that you really need to set these things up

40
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>ahead of time. I was looking at the Moon at

41
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>exactly the moment here in these very horrible temperatures that

42
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>we're having in the Southwestern and Phoenix through partial monsoon clouds.

43
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 2>So the report I can give you on the other

44
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>side of midnight is I saw nothing. How about that

45
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>for honesty. But it's interesting because I doubted from the

46
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>beginning that you would see any kind of a flare,

47
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 2>and the media was talking about the possibility of this,

48
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and we're now confirming nothing was actually seen. Now I

49
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>have people that have emailed me things and they say, look,

50
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I have an image from another telescope, and look at

51
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>this bump doctor Sky on the side edge of the moon,

52
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>exactly where the impact is. And I can tell you,

53
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Walter in the audience, from observing the moon for so long,

54
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>there is a bump where there was a bump on

55
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>the edge of the moon. And what we were seeing

56
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 2>is a very rare sight. It's a mountain region on

57
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the left edge of the moon that we rarely never

58
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>get to see. It's called the Rook Mountains, and it's

59
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>part of a basin called the Oriental the orient Pisin. Now,

60
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 2>if you hold your hand and have your fingers straight up,

61
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>and don't do this if your driving, if you hold

62
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>that hand and just tilt it a little to the

63
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>left and the right, the moon occasionally gives us a

64
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 2>little bit further view, either view of east or west

65
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>of the Moon. So that's what people were seeing. So

66
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>no confirmed you know, explosive material from the Moon, no ejecta.

67
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>But yet there's a spacecraft called Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter that's

68
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>actually going to look and see the exact location where

69
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>this impact occurred and show us. The whole purpose was

70
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 2>to see what happens when a body like that is

71
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 2>intentionally smashed into the Moon, what sized craters are created.

72
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>So the best is yet to come from the Lunar

73
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Reconnaissance Orbiter.

74
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, doctor Sky, you were looking with a high powered

75
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>telescope and very trained eye at the Moon at the

76
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 1>exact spot where the rockets should have hit. Is that right?

77
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 2>That is absolutely correct?

78
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 1>And you saw nothing.

79
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I saw nothing, and a lot of other people they

80
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 2>were tremendous walter amounts on the web. How many people

81
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>may have watched this on YouTube? They had all these

82
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>live feeds from around the world. Now, there's a few

83
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>images that I saw that show something like I don't

84
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>know if somebody photoshopped it or what have you. Why

85
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>would they do such a thing like that? Right where

86
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>there was some sort of a little gas image on

87
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 2>the edge of the moon. But ninety nine percent of

88
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the things that I've been looking at for the last

89
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours no visible material. But some of the

90
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>giant telescopes waltered down in Chile. They claim that they

91
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 2>have some image, not images, but they take the spectroscope

92
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 2>and they can actually put it under the edge of

93
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the Moon, and it can give us an example of

94
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>what chemical elements might have been around in the atmosphere

95
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 2>of the Moon, which hardly has an atmosphere. And they

96
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>claimed there might be something, but no visible flash, nothing

97
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 2>that we could see. But it goes back to Canterbury monks.

98
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 2>If we go back in time, there were claims back

99
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 2>in around eleven seventy eight. They'd wrote in their most

100
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>prosaic way, of course, in the early days, some fiery

101
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 2>dragon appeared on the edge of the moon. And if

102
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>that's possible, I mean, if that was what they saw, Walter,

103
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 2>there have been other sightings in the past in history. Now,

104
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>if that was true, they didn't have telescopes, but can

105
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>you imagine asteroidal bodies slamming into the Moon would have

106
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>created such a thing like that. But lucky for us,

107
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>we haven't seen anything from the outer parts of the

108
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Solar system. This was just a man made rocket.

109
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Now, is it possible that you, with your trained eye

110
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>and your excellent telescope and your minimal ambient light because

111
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of where you are secretly, is it possible that it

112
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't happen at all, that this was a story.

113
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>It's possible, Walter, But I think watching the thing that

114
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>gives gives credence to the whole story is we're actually

115
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>watching live feeds from the you know, the three letter agencies,

116
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the four letter agencies like NASA, and they're actually showing

117
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the data from what they have of the countdown to this.

118
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>They're showing where it should be, where it impacted. I

119
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>believe it did happen, but then again, you never know.

120
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 2>But why would they want to trick us? Right? Well,

121
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>think about that. That's amazing. We've been tricked before, but

122
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe not in this case. So no visible sighting of

123
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 2>the space X rocket booster at this point in time,

124
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 2>and the reason that people are wondering, why are they

125
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>even smashing something into the moon. Yes, we're looking. I

126
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>know this sounds so ridiculous. Why are we doing this

127
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>to destroy the moon and put space junk? If we

128
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.959
<v Speaker 2>have enough space junk in orbit. The simple answer, and

129
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>it's really complicated if you get to go deep into it.

130
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 2>We want to know when we do man habitation. We

131
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 2>mentioned this last time. The south pole of the Moon

132
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>has the water ice. This is a great place to look.

133
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>But the reason they're doing this at the south pole

134
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>of the Moon is the sun never rises deep inside

135
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 2>those craters. So what you'd have to do is you

136
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>could set up permanent solar stations up on the top

137
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>of the mountain, let's say, or the ridge or the mesa,

138
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and you could be in permanent darkness because the moon

139
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 2>every time. If you and I went to the Moon

140
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>right now with the listeners, a lunar day is fourteen

141
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 2>earth days, so you'd see the sun rising along the

142
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 2>lunar limb and you'd have to watch it for fourteen

143
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 2>days before it's set, and a lunar night is fourteen days.

144
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 2>So well, let's hope they want to know what happens

145
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 2>when these objects strike the Moon, because who knows. You

146
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be in a lunar habitat and all

147
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden something comes down out of the sky.

148
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Because remember there's no sounds in space. It would be boom,

149
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 2>and they want to understand what size objects come in

150
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>to create craters. And that's a whole nother long story

151
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 2>that we could talk about some other time.

152
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure doctor Sky brilliant expert on celestial events. Tonight,

153
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>my daughters are at the outer banks of North Carolina

154
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and they have sent me video of the sky because

155
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 1>they said, we see shooting stars.

156
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>We see shooting stars?

157
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Are they what are they seeing? Doctor Sky?

158
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, Walter, this is the time of the year in

159
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 2>the best media show. I have to be careful because

160
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>I've done this for so many years and every time

161
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I tell people, wow, it's going to be a really

162
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>great event at the big meteor shower. What they're probably

163
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>looking at, the percied meteor shower, Walter is one of

164
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the best of the year comes from a constellation Perseus.

165
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 2>If we go back into the whole story, he's the

166
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 2>guy that apparently does not supposed to look at Medusa

167
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 2>from mythology, he does something nasty, he cuts her head off,

168
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.439
<v Speaker 2>and in the mythological way, that's another story. But this

169
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>meteor shower called the Perseans is starting to ramp up

170
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>and it peaks on the evening of the twelfth and

171
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>thirteenth of this month, because the moon will cooperate. It'll

172
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>be at new phase on the twelfth. So if you

173
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 2>have an opportunity to get out and there's no clouds,

174
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>those nights the twelfth into the thirteenth and the thirteenth

175
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 2>into the fourteenth might be best. Look in the northeast

176
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.519
<v Speaker 2>sky after midnight. Walter, I've had the luxury of observing

177
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the shower for over forty years, and I'll tell you,

178
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the sky just pours forth with amazing numbers of meteors,

179
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes they don't do much at all. And a

180
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 2>great comet observer, a good friend of ours here in Arizona, gentlemen,

181
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.879
<v Speaker 2>that many people in the astronomy world may know, David Levy.

182
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>He said something, because all these meteors, or as I say,

183
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>these little particles, and no kidding, they're about the size

184
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 2>of my least favorite cereal grape nuts, these little tiny

185
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>pellette size objects that you'd see as cereal. That's about

186
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the size of this debris. All these meteors come from comets.

187
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>So David Levy said something very interesting. He said, comets

188
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 2>are like cats. And I said to him, well, how's

189
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>that well, they said, they both have tails and they

190
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 2>do exactly what they want to do. So the bunch

191
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>daughters are looking at more than likely. And I hope

192
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>everybody in the vast audience of the station all over

193
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the Earth, this is amazing. And the danger is part

194
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>of this danger danger, he is something interesting. They all

195
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>come from comets, and this particular shower is known to

196
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>come from a comet cold comet swift tuttle, discovered in

197
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 2>the late eighteen hundreds. It's been pumping out. Think of

198
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>it like the exhaust of a vehicle, a gas powered

199
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>or with all the carbon monoxide and particles coming out.

200
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 2>When these comet orbits intersect the Earth, we collide with that.

201
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>So every year around this time we get a visibility.

202
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>But here's a weird fact of any object in the

203
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Solar System that could be dangerous to the Earth. It's

204
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 2>the nucleus of this comet swift tunnel. Now, not to

205
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>alarm people, it's said that maybe hundreds or even a

206
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>thousand years from now, the orbital intercession of the nucleus

207
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>of this comet, which could be twenty miles across. Could

208
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 2>you imagine something like that. No comets go super fast

209
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>so they're saying that that object when you see the

210
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 2>little shooting stars, count your blessings because that's an object

211
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that continues to pump material out. And it's one Walter,

212
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 2>of what millions of comets. Isn't it amazing that the

213
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Earth hasn't been hit? And that's hopefully something that doesn't

214
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 2>happen and quite a long.

215
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Time now, Doctor Sky. There was a third item we

216
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>were going to talk about.

217
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Sure there's an eclipse again, people say eclipses. This one's

218
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>another total solar eclipse. And Walter, have you ever seen

219
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 2>a total solar eclipse? This is interesting?

220
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you total solar eclipse. I don't

221
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>think so well.

222
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.799
<v Speaker 2>This is something that everybody and I don't work with

223
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>any travel agents, but I'll tell you something. I've been

224
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>addicted to this. I've seen seven of these and you

225
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>travel all over the world. Oh, this is amazing because

226
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>if you want to learn about what the beauty of

227
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>nature really is, you have to go to one of these.

228
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Now here's the next one, August twelfth. Next week, people

229
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 2>in Spain, the entire nation. They get the after part

230
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>of where the shadow is racing across the Earth. It

231
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>goes fast, so what happens at a total solar eclipse.

232
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 2>The Moon will be new, meaning it's invisible to us,

233
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.039
<v Speaker 2>so it's going to move across the disk of the Sun.

234
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 2>And however close the Moon is indicates and however close

235
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>we are with the moon, total eclipses can occur best.

236
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 2>They can only occur when the Moon is closest to

237
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the Earth, so what covers the Sun up. So lucky

238
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 2>people in that area of Spain will get to see

239
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.159
<v Speaker 2>an eclipse that probably lasts only about maybe two and

240
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a half minutes. But if you really want a big one,

241
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>here we go. August two, twenty twenty seven. Walter is

242
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>probably the best eclipse for all of us in our lifetimes.

243
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>If you were going to go deep into Egypt, a

244
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 2>place called luxor the Valley of the Gods, the pas Pyramids,

245
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 2>you would see a total eclipsed Walter of over six minutes,

246
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 2>which is unheard of. That will be quite spectacular.

247
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to go do that? Are you going

248
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to go there?

249
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a little out of my moment of travels

250
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.039
<v Speaker 2>because I'm a little concerned about that, and not not

251
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 2>because of any terrorist threats or anything. Who knows, but

252
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.279
<v Speaker 2>there was an incident that happened there a long time ago.

253
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>If people look at it, I don't want to scare

254
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 2>people not to go to Luxor. But the point is

255
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>right now, these people who love eclipses, and I'm one

256
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 2>of them, and many listeners out there I'm sure are too.

257
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 2>They book these things year things.

258
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Is that right? Oh my gosh, Hey, doctor Scott, this

259
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.759
<v Speaker 1>was a great update. It's twenty past the hour time.

260
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>You sure terrific. Always an honor to have you on

261
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the S Show. I will promote your weekend program heavily,

262
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but I don't want it to be minimized by the

263
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 1>word weekend. This is a great radio show from a

264
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>spectacular broadcaster, Doctor Sky, visiting on the other side of

265
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>midnight from the Red Apple Audio Network.
