00:00:01.679 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome once again to the Doctor Sky Experience, heard exclusively

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>here at Talk Radio seventy seven WABC, as we like

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>to call it, the crown Jewel of radio, the Iconics

4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:17.359
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven Talk Radio WABC beaming out of New York City,

5
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the nation, the world, and I'm sure out to the Cosmos.

6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>If you're a first time listener to the Doctor Sky Experience,

7
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>welcome once again as we talk about the great subjects

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>in realms of astronomy, space, aviation, and weather, and interlaced

9
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>in our program and podcast here great stories of American exceptionalism,

10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and we hope each and every one of you got

11
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 1>to experience, even if it was partial, the great eclipse

12
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of the Sun that happened back on April the eighth

13
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>of this year, for any of you in the New

14
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 1>York listening area, that was only a ninety one percent eclipse,

15
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>but rare indeed, and for other partis of upstate New

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>York and around the nation, you experienced that extremely rare

17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>event when the umbral shadow moves right across you and

18
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you experience the shadow of the moon. I was proud

19
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 1>to be reporting as being the keynote speaker at a

20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Texas Music event called a text Clips Music Festival. If

21
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to see some more videos of that, simply

22
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>go to doctor Sky Eclipse dot com. That's drsky eclipse

23
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>dot com. But folks, as we move toward the latter

24
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>part of April, here's some of the compilation of news

25
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>stories that we speak about every Sunday with John Katzimatitis

26
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>on the Cat's Round Table and then every other Wednesday

27
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>at one am with Frank Morano's program the other side

28
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>of Midnight. As we for that one hour transform it

29
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>into a conversation called Cosmic Conversations. Well, let's begin a

30
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit about the eclipse. Hopefully you got to see it,

31
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>those safe solar glasses or what was necessary. But now

32
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 1>that's all in the history books. So in case you're

33
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>looking for the next great total solar eclipse, and if

34
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you become addicted to this like many, this was my sixth,

35
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 1>you'll have to look overseas for the next eclipse. Twenty

36
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. We find out in that month of July,

37
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>a total solar eclipse is visible off the far western

38
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>portion of Iceland, moving down to the mid portion of Spain.

39
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>But another great event will take place jop this date

40
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>down August two, twenty twenty seven, when the shadow path

41
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the umbral shadow crosses again into southern Spain, moves across Morocco, Algeria, Libya.

42
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 1>And then how about this down into this area of

43
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Egypt where the pyramids exist near Luxor for most amazing

44
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>total solar eclipse, lasting well over five and a half minutes.

45
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>But some of the stories that we covered here with

46
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>John Katsimatides on the CATS round Table this week are

47
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>space debris coming down from the International Space Station number

48
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, that is, March of twenty twenty one,

49
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>the ISS deployed and pushed overboard a large palette of

50
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>oxygen tanks and other equipment about the size of a

51
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 1>small suv, intentionally intending for Pallet EP nine to eventually

52
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>disintegrate and burn up in the atmosphere. Well, lo and

53
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 1>behold we find out that just a few days ago,

54
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>our report comes in that a man in Naples, Florida,

55
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>whose home was actually hit, Alejandro Tera, experienced something unusual.

56
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>One of those tanks literally crashed through his roof and

57
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>into his house. Strange as it is, those are nickel

58
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>hydrogen batteries. What about meteorites we see them in the sky,

59
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>and what happens if you actually find one who owns it? Well,

60
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>according to law, not just in the United States and

61
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>around the world. For the most part, here in the

62
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>United States, if it lands on your land, you own it.

63
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 1>But remember if a meteorite is found then it lands

64
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>on government land, well, the government pretty much owns it.

65
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And what about other nations around the world. In quick summary,

66
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>did you know that in Denmark, even if you found

67
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>a meteorite, the state and the government takes claim to

68
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>own it. Interesting stories, as we talk about on the

69
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Cat's roundtable. But so many other things are happening folks

70
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in our skies, and I wanted to highlight some of

71
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the things that you can actually see in our late

72
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>April skies. What could be better than a total eclipse

73
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of the sun or any clipse. Well, there's some interesting

74
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>things happening. We find out that the moon was at

75
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>first quarter on the fifteenth. It's farthest i ironically away

76
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>from us on the twentieth. We call that apige because

77
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 1>it was closest to us when we had the total

78
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>solar eclipse. That's what made it necessary. The moon had

79
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to be closest to the Earth. We call that pyroge.

80
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>But during this period of time from about the twenty

81
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 1>first all the way to the twenty third, if you

82
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>look into the northeast sky after midnight in clear skies,

83
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>you'll see a brilliant blue star called Vega. It's twenty

84
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>five light years away and it's in the constellation of

85
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Lyra the harp. Why do I mention it? This is

86
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>the origin point of the annual lyrid meteor shower. Now,

87
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>with increasing moonlight because the moon goes full on the

88
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty third, don't expect to see that many. But if

89
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>my chance, you're out in dark skies and you look

90
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>up anywhere from two AM till sunrise, yeah, you have

91
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to be an early viewer. You may get to see

92
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>a few of these lyrid meteors. They're about the size

93
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 1>of little grape nut sereal little particles, and they're traveling

94
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 1>at well over one hundred thousand miles an hour. Naturally,

95
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>they don't come down and crash land on the ground,

96
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>lucky for us. But the meteor shower story is just fascinating.

97
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>We get another interesting meteor shower coming up into the

98
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>month of August, and we'll talk more about that on

99
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the Doctor Sky experience, let's talk about the full moon

100
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>for this particular month, we'll get to see the beautiful,

101
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 1>full pink moon, and this of course in the holiday

102
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>season of Passover and also as spring moves on the

103
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>time that flowers are flourishing. Officially, the moon is full

104
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 1>on April twenty third, at seven forty nine pm Eastern

105
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>daylight time, and it'll be a pretty interesting moon, even

106
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>though it's not closest to the earth, still a spectacular

107
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>moon to look at. And of course we want to

108
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>celebrate the sacred season of Passover, as I believe it

109
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>begins on the evening hours of the twenty second. But

110
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>how is Passover connected to the sky? Interestingly enough it is.

111
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>We find out that in the Hebrew calendar, this particular

112
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>season of Passover occurs on the fifteenth day of the

113
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Jewish calendar, which is known as Nissan, the first of

114
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the months in the Jewish calendar. So it coincides very closely,

115
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>of course, to that of a full moon, and so

116
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 1>does that of the date of Easter. And going back

117
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 1>in our time machine, the date of Easter is always

118
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the Sunday, that's after the beginning of the vernal equinox.

119
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So we go back into time in March and found

120
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>out that the spring equinox was on the twentieth. The

121
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>last full moon, of course, was earlier into that month.

122
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And then we find out on the calendar that the

123
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 1>next Sunday after the full moon of March, and that

124
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 1>came out to be March the thirty first. For kenide observers,

125
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>if you have a pair of binoculars and you look

126
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>low into the western part of the sky, now all

127
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 1>this the center's around the time and the moon is brightest,

128
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>so you may or may not get to see this.

129
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 1>But Comet twelve p Comet Ponds Brooks gets closest to

130
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the Sun by the twenty first and twenty second of April.

131
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Now I observed it in New Mexico and Texas in

132
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 1>a dark sky, even with a small pair of binoculars.

133
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Why is this important Because it's a periodic comet that

134
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>moves around the Sun every seventy one years. And it's

135
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 1>quite interesting because some people actually got to see the

136
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 1>comet during the total eclipse of the Sun a number

137
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of degrees to the left. Interesting things. For questions and comments,

138
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>always email me. It's Doctor Sky's show at gmail dot com.

139
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>And what do we say, always remember to keep your

140
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>eyes to the skies. I'm your navigator on the highway

141
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.079
<v Speaker 1>to the heavens. How about this a highway with no tolls?

142
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>So explore the one the wonderful richness of the nighttime skies.

143
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 1>And we're so appreciative of being here on talk radio
