Speaker 1: Welcome to the Doctor Sky Experience, heard exclusively here on
Speaker 1: Talk Radio seventy seven WABC. We like to call this
Speaker 1: radio station the crown Jewel of radio, the iconic seventy
Speaker 1: seven Talk Radio WABC, beaming out of New York City,
Speaker 1: the nation, the world, and the cosmos. As we continue
Speaker 1: to count down the great eclipse, whether it's a partial
Speaker 1: eclipse for you, are a total solar eclipse of April
Speaker 1: eighth of this year, twenty twenty four, as we continue
Speaker 1: to talk about these great events in the world of astronomy,
Speaker 1: this particular edition, what we'll call is the New York
Speaker 1: Edition for people listening to WABC in the New York
Speaker 1: City area. Here's what you can expect for that particular day,
Speaker 1: April eighth, twenty twenty four, in the New York City area.
Speaker 1: There'll be at super deep partial solar eclipse. Ninety one
Speaker 1: percent of the Sun will be covered by the moon.
Speaker 1: And that eclipse begins at two ten pm Eastern daylight time,
Speaker 1: with the maximum of the Sun covered at three twenty
Speaker 1: four pm Eastern daylight time, and it all goes into
Speaker 1: the history books as the eclipse goes in reverse at
Speaker 1: four thirty six pm, eastern daylight time at three twenty
Speaker 1: four and three twenty five PM, the sun will stand
Speaker 1: some forty three degrees in hopeful clear skies. But why
Speaker 1: not make the journey to the north and northwest of
Speaker 1: New York City where totality would be experienced a very
Speaker 1: rare event. Any total eclipse or eclipse that's over four
Speaker 1: minutes is exceptional, particularly total eclipses, and at this eclipse
Speaker 1: some five point five percent, that is, the moon will
Speaker 1: be some five point five percent larger than normal at perigee.
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit more about the details of
Speaker 1: this particular eclipse, which for many in the New York
Speaker 1: City area will simply be a ninety one percent eclipse.
Speaker 1: Why not again journey to the north and northwest to
Speaker 1: these particular cities. Totality will be experienced. In Buffalo, New
Speaker 1: York at three twenty five you would get to see
Speaker 1: with clear skies, with the sun forty five degrees high,
Speaker 1: a total solar eclipse of three minutes and forty five seconds. Rochester,
Speaker 1: New York, is also in the eclipse path, experiencing three
Speaker 1: minutes and thirty seconds Syracuse, New York, as it's near
Speaker 1: the edge of the totality line experiences a little more
Speaker 1: than two minutes, and Watertown, New York, right off the
Speaker 1: lake will experience some three minutes in thirty seven seconds
Speaker 1: of totality with hopeful clear skies. Simply traveling north from
Speaker 1: New York City to Plattsburgh, New York, you'll be deep
Speaker 1: within the shadow of the moon at three twenty nine pm,
Speaker 1: where three minutes and thirty seconds you would experience totality,
Speaker 1: a rare event in astronomy. And now back to eclipses.
Speaker 1: This particular eclipse, identified as a partial and total solar eclipse,
Speaker 1: is part of a Cero cycle. A Cero cycle is
Speaker 1: repetitive eclipses that happen over a period of eighteen years
Speaker 1: and some change. This particular ceeros with this eclipse is
Speaker 1: from Cero's cycle one thirty nine. It has seventy one eclipses,
Speaker 1: and this eclipse is number thirty of the total of
Speaker 1: seventy one. It began in the year fifteen oh one
Speaker 1: a d and the last of those eclipses will take
Speaker 1: place in the year twenty seven sixty three. If you
Speaker 1: miss this particular eclipse, I'm talking about our fans who
Speaker 1: journey into totality in upstate New York and areas up
Speaker 1: in the areas of Vermont and New Hampshire. The next
Speaker 1: total solar eclipse in the United States that could be
Speaker 1: seen will occur on August twelfth of twenty forty five.
Speaker 1: That eclipse will scan itself with the darker the moon
Speaker 1: from California, sweeping across the central part of the United
Speaker 1: States and moving off the coast of Florida. That eclipse
Speaker 1: is incredible. It will have a totality that lasts six
Speaker 1: minutes and six seconds, best seen off the coast of
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and over by Nassau in the Bahamas.
