00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm Doctor Sky and welcome to the Doctor Sky Experience,

2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>exclusively here at Talk Radio seventy seven WABC out of

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>New York City and around the world, America's number one

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>talk station. Welcome once again as we discuss the great

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>events that are happening in the skies from aviation, space, astronomy,

6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>and weather and so much more. And don't forget Embedded

7
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in the Doctor Sky Experience is our tribute to America truth,

8
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>justice in the American Way, with great interviews from newsmakers

9
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 1>about American exceptionalism. But here we begin with our particular

10
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky episode number four and update on what you

11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>can see in your skyes this a most amazing month,

12
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 1>November twenty twenty two. We begin with the Moon, Earth's

13
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>nearest neighbor. We find out that as November opens, the

14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>moon is at its first quarter face is then moving

15
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to a position we call the gibbasphace and it looks

16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>humpback or egg shape, only to arrive at the beauty

17
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of the full moon on the morning hours of November eighth.

18
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>But this year a spectacular lunary clipse of total lunary

19
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>eclipse for observers in much of North America. For the

20
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>east coast, the moon will be in totality just hours

21
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>before sunrise, but as the further distance you go west,

22
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>the moon continues to see or that is, you should

23
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>be able to see the entire eclipse. And we'll be

24
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>talking much more about the details in our next week

25
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Sky Update here at talk Radio seventy seven WABC out

26
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of New York and around the world. If you'd like

27
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to get in touch with me, Doctor Sky, email me

28
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>at simplem It's doctor Sky's show, drsky Show at gmail

29
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>dot com. And certainly appreciate the many emails that we

30
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>do get about these great realms of astronomy, space, aviation,

31
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>and weather. But big news in the space world this

32
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>week Elung must has his way. We'll see the next

33
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>launch of one of the most powerful rockets in the

34
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>entire world. The next launch of his Falcon Heavy rocket

35
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>scheduled for November the first, at around nine to forty

36
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 1>in the morning this USSF United States Space Force rocket.

37
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>This particular mission will launch a secret spy satellite among

38
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>another satellite or two into orbit. These will be in

39
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>geosynchronous orbit, which means they'll go directly from the ground

40
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>out to that position about twenty two thousand miles away

41
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>from the Earth. Let's describe this particular rocket the Falcon Heavy,

42
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 1>some two hundred and twenty nine feet tall. This particular

43
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>rocket weighs over three million pounds. And did you know

44
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that this particular rocket can launch one hundred and forty

45
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand pounds to low Earth orbit. That's about the height

46
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of the space station. And if it goes to geosynchronous orbit,

47
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it come lunt fifty seven thousand pounds of payload. And

48
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 1>imagine a Mars mission. He could still launch some thirty

49
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>seven thousand pounds of material out to the Red planet.

50
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>The god of a total power on this particular rocket

51
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 1>of some five and a half million pounds of thrust,

52
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>all that by doing something special. There are twenty seven

53
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Merlin engines on board, which each have the power of

54
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ninety thousand pounds of thrust, mixing liquid

55
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>oxygen and something called RP one kind of the derivation

56
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>of kerosene fuel. This particular rocket, if you want to

57
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 1>put it in simpler terms, has the power of eighteen

58
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 1>seven forty sevens at full power, and you could simply

59
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>list a fully loaded seven thirty seven aircraft to orbit.

60
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 1>This is a spectacular mission, and we wish them well,

61
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>but for your skies as you're viewing them, hoping they're clear.

62
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Of course, beyond the moon, we talk about the planets

63
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and what you should be able to see this week

64
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>is in the array of planets, simply a plethora of planets.

65
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Begin your sky viewing by looking high into the south

66
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>at sunset with clear skies and no clouds. You'll see

67
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the planet Saturn now about eight hundred and ninety million

68
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 1>miles away from your eye gutter in a telescope. And yes,

69
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 1>you can actually see the beautiful marine system, no doubt

70
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 1>about it. The brightest planet in the night time sky

71
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>for now is the planet Jupiter. Easy to see as

72
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you look into the eastern sky and high enough. So

73
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 1>tell your friends and neighbors that the object that you see,

74
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the big white, bright object, is not a UFO at all,

75
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's the largest planet in the entire Solar System,

76
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that being Jupiter eighty eight thousand miles in diameter. That's big.

77
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 1>It would take twelve earths to make it up to

78
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>make its diameter as its scale size. And the object

79
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>about three hundred and eighty five million miles away from

80
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>your eye grat In the telescope decent and binoculars, you'll

81
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 1>get to see some of those galiley and satellites the

82
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 1>four he discovered back in sixteen ten. But folks, the

83
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>really interesting planet now rising in the northeast. If you

84
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>stay up right around ten PM with clear skies in

85
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the northeast, you'll see the red God of the war Mars.

86
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>It's encroaching on the Earth. Mars will be closest to

87
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 1>the Earth this year on December the seventh, when at

88
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 1>a distance of slightly low maybe around thirty seven million

89
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>miles or so, some say upwards of fifty seven million miles.

90
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>But the point is the planet Mars is spectacular in

91
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a telescope right now. I'm observing it regularly and hope

92
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you have the ability to do that. If you do,

93
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing many of the surface features on Mars. And

94
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 1>you're also noticing that the northern polar cap, because the

95
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>northern hemisphere of Mars now was in winter, we're seeing

96
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this blue haze that's like ice crystals

97
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>in the Martian atmosphere, making that small but visible northern

98
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>polar cap look even larger. Quite an amazing sight to

99
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>see in the sky, and don't forget two important events

100
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>in November. One is the ability to see more of

101
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 1>these November fire balls. Why, fireballs are larger chunks of

102
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>these meteors that we see coming through the atmosphere, some

103
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>so called shooting stars, but we know from astronomy that's

104
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>not a shooting star, it's debris from comets tales. So

105
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>simply in the month of November we get to see

106
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a higher number of these larger chunks of comet material

107
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 1>streaking through our sky. So if you're out there with

108
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the clear sky, dress warmly, of course, and if you

109
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>have patience, you may get to see a few very

110
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>bright fireballs, maybe even brighter than Venus. We call it

111
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>the November fireball season. And then on the early morning

112
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 1>hours of November nineteenth, we'll have more to say about that.

113
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Next week and weeks to come. Is the annual Landed

114
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>meteor shower, one of the better meteor showers of the year.

115
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>And of course you have to gauge where the moon

116
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>is so the moonlight doesn't interfere. But I just wanted

117
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to mention it on the calendar. And again, ladies and gentlemen,

118
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to me, Doctor skye with the Doctor Sky

119
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Experience here exclusively at talk radio seventy seven WABC out

120

<v Speaker 1>of New York City and around the world. Check us

121
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>again with our Doctor Sky Blonde at WABC Radio dot

122
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and we thank you so much for listening to this

123
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>particular podcast. Your questions, comments and suggestions always welcome at

124
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky's show at shemail dot com. Doctr S Guy

125
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>simply reminds you'd always remember to keep your eyes to

126
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the skies. I'm your navigator on the highway to the heavens,

127
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 1>and don't forget. During the early morning hours of November

128
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>the eighth, you get to see the next of a

129
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>total lunary clips not since the day of May fifteenth,

130
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and we had won. This is a second eclipse for

131
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this year, and interestingly enough, it happens in common science

132
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>with just hours before in person voting for the Great

133
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Election of twenty twenty two on the day of November

134
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the eighth. Hasn't happened in history in America, at least

135
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 1>as far as we can check. Obviously, the coincidence of

136
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>election day and a total lunary clips quite interesting. Until

137
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 1>next week, Clear skies, health and happiness,
