1
00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Welcome once again to the Doctor Sky Experience. Proudly to

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 1>be here on Talk Radio seventy seven w A b C,

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>as we like to call it, and others do too,

4
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the crown jewel of radio, the iconic seventy seven Talk

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Radio W A b C, beaming proudly out of New

6
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>York City, the Nation, the world, and the Cosmos. And

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 1>in this particular edition of the Doctor Sky Experience, we

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>welcome in month number five, May twenty twenty four, and

9
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it will be a much exciting month for many sky

10
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>watchers in and around not only the New York metropolitan area,

11
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>but wherever you are listening to the Doctor Sky Experience

12
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>throughout the nation, the world, and maybe out in the cosmos.

13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>We begin with arth nearest neighbor, the Moon, and we

14
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 1>find out that after that great total and partial eclipse

15
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Sun back in April, the Moon continues to

16
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>do its thing as it swings around planet number through

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the Earth. The moon reaches its last quarter on May

18
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the first. We find the moon closest to us during

19
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the month of May on the fifth, at a position

20
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 1>we call Pyagey New Moon once again on the eighth

21
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of May. Interestingly, another month since that last major eclipse,

22
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>one that will not see whether partial or total, for

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>quite some time to come. The moon then continues to wax.

24
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>On the evening hours of the ninth look low into

25
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>the west northwest sky if you have an unobstructed view

26
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of the horizon to get to see one of the

27
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 1>most magnificent, thin crescent moons. A beautiful sight. And not

28
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>only is the beautiful sight of that crescent moon available,

29
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>but just to the upper edge of where the sunlight

30
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is not there we see what's called earth shine. You

31
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>can see that ghostly image of the moon, and the

32
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>reason for it is that full light of the Earth

33
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>is shining back on the moon. Thus we call it

34
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 1>earth shine. The moon reaches its apsy position, that is

35
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>farthest away from the Earth in May on the seventeenth.

36
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Then the moon continues to be gibbous. What's that. It's

37
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>a moon just after first quarter and not quite full,

38
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>so it looks egg shaped. Then it moves on to

39
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>the beautiful full moon. May we call it the flower

40
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>moon on May the twenty third. And many people have

41
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 1>asked me here on the doctor Sky experience through emails,

42
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, my email is simply just doctor

43
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Sky Show at gmail dot com Drsky Show at gmail

44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>dot com. And the question I'm getting is when do

45
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>we have any future supermoons throughout twenty twenty four And

46
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>what's a supermoon when the moon is exceptionally close to

47
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the Earth, brighter and larger than normal. And the simple

48
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 1>answer is on the evening of August nineteenth September eighteenth,

49
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>which by the way, will be a super harvest moon,

50
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful romantic moon as we then move into the

51
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>fall season in twenty twenty four. But wait, there's two more.

52
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>The full moon of October seventeenth and November fifteenth qualify

53
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>once again as a beautiful full super moon. After that

54
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>full moon, the moon wanes, it goes reverse, it goes

55
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>gibbus again or egg shape, only to go on to

56
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>last quarter on the thirtieth. But for play, planet's unfortunately

57
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>not too much in the way of planets for the

58
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>month of May. If you're listening to the Doctors Sky

59
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Experience right now, during the early portion of May, you

60
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 1>can still see Jupiter hugging the horizon in the west northwest.

61
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>It can't mistake it a very bright object over five

62
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 1>hundred million miles away. Jupiter sadly moves into conjunction with

63
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>the Sun on the eighteenth of May, only to return

64
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 1>to the morning sky, and by the end of twenty

65
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty four we should once again see the giant, the

66
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>god Zeus as they called it, the magnificent planet Jupiter,

67
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>once again taking its rightful position in our skies. For

68
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>observers with the naked eye, binoculars and telescopes, the innermost planet,

69
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 1>the planet Mercury, gives us a good show throughout May.

70
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>It reaches a position called greatest Western elongation, meaning it's

71
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 1>on the western side of the Sun ahead of sunrise,

72
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>so it's obviously visible in the morning sky best some

73
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty six degrees away from that rising sun as we

74
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>move into the latter part of the month of May.

75
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>To stay in touch with me, as I mentioned before,

76
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it's simple, email is Doctor Sky's show at gmail dot com.

<v Speaker 1>and there during the five o'clock show on Cats and Cosby.

93
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, we're proud to be on WABC

94
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>every other Wednesday at one am with legendary broadcaster Frank

95

<v Speaker 1>Morano on the other side of midnight. When Frank has

96
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>agreed and much graciel, you know, very grateful to him

97
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 1>that we turned that radio show over for the hour

98
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to call cosmic conversations with me Doctor Sky. Doctor Sky

99
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>reminds you always remember to keep your eyes to the skies.

100
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>But here's the real treat in my opinion, for the

101
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>skies of May. An interesting meteor shower called the Ada

102
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 1>acquirance peaks on the morning hours of May fifth and sixth,

103
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>where to see it you need a dark sky and

104
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>an obstructive view of the southeast sky anytime after midnight

105
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>till sunrise on the evenings of the fourth and the fifth,

106
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and even the sixth peak activity proudly on the night

107
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>of the fifth into the morning of the sixth in

108
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the southeast. All debris that you see in the sky,

109
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>any shooting stars, the so called shooting stars, or all debris.

110
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>From a famous comment that maybe you didn't get to

111
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>see in nineteen eighty six, Halley's comment Doctor Sky reminds
