00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm Doctor Sky, welcoming you and yours to the Doctor

2
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Sky Experience, heard exclusively here at Talk Radio seventy seven WABC.

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>As we like to say, and we're proud of it,

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the crown jewel of radio, the iconic Talk Radio seventy

5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>seven WABC, broadcasting out of New York, around the nation,

6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 1>around the world, and I'm sure all through the universe.

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 1>As we continue with our monthly Sky updates, welcome to

8
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>this particular episode, Doctor Sky Sky Update number eighteen. As

9
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 1>we move to the end of month number two, this

10
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>February twenty twenty three, here's some good information as we

11
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>now move hopefully very quickly into month number three, March

12
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three, and I'm the Doctor Sky Experience. With

13
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 1>our Sky update, we naturally begin with the Moon, Earth's

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>nearest neighbor. We find out that during this last period

15
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>last week or so of February, the moon moved on

16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to its first quarter phase, and then as we move

17
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>into month number three, gets set for another of the

18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>beautiful full moons of twenty twenty three, this one in March.

19
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>The evening hours of March the sixth into the morning

20
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of the sueventh, the beautiful full warm moon that will

21
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>lie in the constellation of Leo the Lion. A most

22
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>amazing sight. Watch it as it rises in the east northeast,

23
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>and yes, ladies and gentlemen, a spectacular sight. Many of

24
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>us wish for moonless skies to see deep sky objects,

25
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>but this is quite exciting. As we continue to move

26
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>through the month of March, we find out that last

27
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 1>quarter occurs on the fourteenth, then just around the time

28
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 1>of the spring equinox, the next of the new moons

29
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 1>occurs on the twenty first of March, and ending off

30
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 1>our month, we find out the next of the first

31
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>quarter moons in March will occur on the twenty eighth.

32
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>But how about this, as you look into our skies

33
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>during the last few days of February twenty twenty three,

34
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>here's something quite spectacular. We've been talking here on the

35
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky Experience about the conjunction of the planet's Venus

36
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 1>and the planet Jupiter and Apropos. For the month of February,

37
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the month of Love with Valentine's Day, we have Venus,

38
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the goddess of love and beauty, easy to see and

39
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>most incredibly bright into the southwest sky after sunset, and

40
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>what is she doing. She's moving ever so close to

41
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the giant planet Jupiter from ancient mythology, the god of gods. Well,

42
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>what are we going to see in the sky By

43
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of this month and on March the first,

44
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 1>you will see these two objects right after sunset the

45
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 1>close conjunction as both objects lie within a full moon

46
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>diameter apart, and that is quite spectacular for other amazing

47
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 1>sky events. We continue to talk about planets and we

48
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 1>find out that the planet Mars, the red god of War,

49
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 1>is still high and overhead during these late February evenings

50
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>as it moves almost to the one hundred million mile

51
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>away from us, quite different than what we had back

52
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>in December when Mars was closest to us. But this

53
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>amazing planet will return once again in about a year

54
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and a half for another interesting opposition, but telescopic viewers

55
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>will still be able to see with powerful telescopes still

56
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>some detail on this rather gibbous or egg shaped planet,

57
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>as it appears this particular phase is taking shape right now.

58
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Look into our skies and find out some other traits

59
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>are there. When we find out that the beautiful constellation

60
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 1>of Oriyan the Hunter is high in the southern part

61
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of the sky just after sunset, And why not do

62
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>this before the moon gets too bright? What am I

63
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>referring to Get out those binoculars and look at the

64
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>three belt stars of Orion. These are the brilliant stars

65
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>known as Al Attack, Al Nylam, and Mintaca. But more importantly,

66
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>right below the middle star of the Belt of Orion,

67
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>we call that the Sword. But lying deep within that

68
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 1>sword is a most interesting nebula. That particular nebula we

69
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>know is the Orion Nebulam. How about that even city

70
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>dwellers can get to see this amazing fuzzy object some

71
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>thirteen hundred and fifty light years away from us. Telescopic

72
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>viewers will be treated to a more spectacular view, of course,

73
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>hoping that you're not blinded out or wiped out by

74
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 1>brilliant moonlight. But if you do get a chance to

75
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 1>see the Orion Nebulam, do know that the object may

76
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>be at least twelve to twenty light years wide. This

77
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>is the birthplace of stars, among many other locations in

78
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>our heavens. But deep within the Orion nebula is the

79
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 1>most fascinating side and high powered telescopes a group of

80
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>four stars officially known as the Trapezium. These brilliant blue stars,

81
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>as we call them young stars, are often thought to

82
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>light up the entire nebula, and deep within the Orion

83
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 1>nebula we find the birthplace, as I mentioned before, of

84
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>many stars. You know, many of us and all of

85
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>our friends here on the Doctor Sky Experience. Tell us

86
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>that many of you came out here to see the

87
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl here in Glendale, Arizona. Well, many of you

88
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>want to continue to live out here in this part

89
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of the West, and we certainly welcome you. But if

90
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 1>you're ever out here, we highly recommend a couple of

91
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>locations that I'm sure you would enjoy, and they're big

92
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>supporters of the Doctor Sky Experience here on Top Radio

93
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven WABC. One of them is Raphael's Pizza. There's

94
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>two locations, one in Phoenix seventy nineteen North nineteenth Avenue

95
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and also a new location at fifty eight hundred West

96
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Peoria in Londale, Arizona. And ladies and gentlemen, it's a

97
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>great opportunity too if you enjoy Chinese food, to get

98
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>in touch with the good folks at Yao's Chinese Restaurant,

99
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>located deep in the central part of Gilbert, Arizona. But

100
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 1>equally important, how about for many of you that do

101
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>travel out to Arizona, why not join me Doctor Sky

102
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>at a most beautiful location that we're there twice a

103
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>month to do the beauty and share with you that

104
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>is the beauty of Arizona's dark skies. How about an

105
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 1>initial international dark sky location known as the Arizona Join

106
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 1>us at a location called the Wild Resort and Spawn

107
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Sedona to learn much more about this particular resort a

108
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>great place. I'm sure you'll love it, and also are

109
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky programs. Go to the Wild Resort dot com

110
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>for more information and don't forget on the Doctor Sky experience.

111
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>We highly recommend a website that you can find so

112
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>many of the wonderful things that go into our nighttime skies,

113
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and that is the sky Live dot Com. That's right,

114
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the Skylive dot Com an excellent website whether you're looking

115
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>for planets, comments, asteroids, and much much more. And by

116
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the way, I wonder out there in radio land and

117
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 1>cyberspace if any of you got to see comment ZTF.

118
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, the news media reported this rather incorrectly,

119
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 1>telling people that they should just go out and simply

120
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>look at the green comet. Oh, the truth is always

121
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 1>here on the Doctor Sky Experience. It was an object

122
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>that required probably more than monoculars and definitely being in

123
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 1>dark skies. In this particular time. We'll have more to

124
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>say about these and many other objects that go into

125
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 1>our nighttime skies as you're listening to me, Doctor Sky
