Speaker 1: You are listening to the Doctor Sky Experience exclusively here
Speaker 1: at the iconic talk radio seventy seven WABC. We like
Speaker 1: to call it the crown Jewel of radio broadcasting from
Speaker 1: New York City, around the nation, around the world, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure deep into the cosmos with the Doctor Sky Experience.
Speaker 1: As we welcome you too our brand new Sky Update
Speaker 1: number twenty three late information that is from these beautiful
Speaker 1: realms of astronomy, space, aviation, and weather, but more particularly
Speaker 1: in our Sky Update, what you can see in the
Speaker 1: skies for your listening era. This report is current for
Speaker 1: late May into early June twenty twenty three. We'd like
Speaker 1: to begin, of course, by talking about Earth's nearest neighbor,
Speaker 1: the moon. As we move out of the month of
Speaker 1: May and into June, we welcome in the next of
Speaker 1: the beautiful full moons that on the afternoon hours and
Speaker 1: evening of June third, this beautiful full moon, known as
Speaker 1: the full Strawberry Moon, officially full at eleven forty two
Speaker 1: pm Eastern daylight time. So get set as you watch
Speaker 1: that moon rise into your evening sky. For a good
Speaker 1: portion of the listening area, this particular full moon is important.
Speaker 1: Did you know that in the year twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: there are a number of supermoons. A supermoon not truly
Speaker 1: an astronomical term, more of an astrological term, means that
Speaker 1: the moon will be the closest that they can get
Speaker 1: for that entire month and close to what we call
Speaker 1: the perigee when the moon is closest to the Earth.
Speaker 1: Get set for the beautiful full moon of July, the
Speaker 1: third two full moons in the month of August that
Speaker 1: are supermoon's August the first and the second beautiful full
Speaker 1: supermoon we sometimes call the super blue moon. But get
Speaker 1: set as we move deeper into twenty twenty three on
Speaker 1: September the twenty ninth, for the last that the supermoons
Speaker 1: of this year, that is the classic moon many people
Speaker 1: we know and of course want to see, the beautiful
Speaker 1: harvest moon. We continue with the moon as it wanes
Speaker 1: after that new full phase, the full strawberry moon, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned on the third last quarter moon on the
Speaker 1: tenth of June that rises around midnight. It is high
Speaker 1: in your southern sky or into your sky just around
Speaker 1: the time of sunrise. And we also move on to
Speaker 1: the new moon of the darker the moon by the eighteenth.
Speaker 1: This is the time the doctor Sky recommends you take
Speaker 1: a look at the darkest of skies with no moon,
Speaker 1: and if you live in an area even in bright
Speaker 1: city lights, you may still be aided by the darkness.
Speaker 1: With no moon, you should be able to see some
Speaker 1: of the great faint sky objects which we always can
Speaker 1: talk about during the summer months. As we look deep
Speaker 1: into the southern sky, as we look for the star
Speaker 1: clouds of Sagittarius and try it under new moon conditions
Speaker 1: with as few light as possible. Well, we then find
Speaker 1: the moon continues to wax and it moves on to
Speaker 1: its first quarter phase on the twenty June. But let's
Speaker 1: talk planets for a moment. The innermost planet Mercury not
Speaker 1: too visible. Throughout this particular episode, we find Venus, the
Speaker 1: goddess of love and beauty, at greatest eastern elongation, that
Speaker 1: means it's farthest away from the Sun just in the
Speaker 1: evening sky. By about June the fourth, Venus can get
Speaker 1: some forty seven degrees away from the Sun. But then
Speaker 1: it moves on to greatest Brilliancy and a lord of
Speaker 1: this on July the seventh, when it's the brightest of
Speaker 1: all celestial objects other than the Sun and the moon.
Speaker 1: And believe me, folks, as you move deep into the summer,
Speaker 1: as we move into July, take a look for this
Speaker 1: object that'll be exceptionally bright. And I remember mentioning this
Speaker 1: to people a long time ago in conditions where there
Speaker 1: was no moon out and Venus was bright in a
Speaker 1: large snowfield. I remembers seeing my shadow cast by none
Speaker 1: other than the Goddess of Love and beauty herself, the
Speaker 1: planet Venus. As we look into the sky in June,
Speaker 1: we find out the planet Faint moving into the constellation
Speaker 1: of Cancer the Crab, and by this particular time that
Speaker 1: you're listening to this report, the planet Mars no faint
Speaker 1: and over one hundred and seventy million miles from the Earth,
Speaker 1: will be moving into a star cloud in the constellation
Speaker 1: of Cancer known as the Beehive star cluster. You can
Speaker 1: follow that with a pair of binoculars. Then we find
Speaker 1: out that Venus will get close, that is, on the
Speaker 1: thirteenth of June, to the very same star cluster we
Speaker 1: call the Beehive or otherwise known as Messia forty four.
Speaker 1: Spectacular sight in the darkest of skies, but binoculars will
Speaker 1: help you. As many times on this particular program, the
Speaker 1: Doctor Sky Experience, we mentioned visible man made satellites. If
Speaker 1: you're interested in seeing the ISS International Space Station, the
Speaker 1: Tiangong Space Station, and so many more objects that are
Speaker 1: launched in the heavens, including the massive Starlink chains of satellites,
Speaker 1: we recommend here on the Doctor Sky Experience none other
Speaker 1: than Heavens Dash above dot com. Simply plug in your
Speaker 1: location and the dayton time and you'll see what you'll
Speaker 1: be able to see with man made satellites. The list
Speaker 1: is extensive. The fainter objects are obviously more in multiplication,
Speaker 1: but the brighter objects like the space station and the
Speaker 1: Chinese space station, you'll get to see and show your
Speaker 1: friends and neighbors these amazing objects that are in the heavens.
Speaker 1: And by the way, for all of our WABC friends
Speaker 1: visiting here in Arizona. If you're hungry and looking for
Speaker 1: the best New York, the best of the West pizza,
Speaker 1: make it Raffelli's Pizza. They have two locations here in
Speaker 1: the Valley of the Sun, one at seventy nineteen North
Speaker 1: nineteenth Avenue in Phoenix. You can call them at six
Speaker 1: zero two two four two five one one seven and
Speaker 1: their other great location, Raphael's Pizza and Wings, a full
Speaker 1: sports bar at fifty ninth Avenue in Peoria in Glendale, Arizona. Yes, folks,
Speaker 1: New York best of the West pizza. If you miss
Speaker 1: the original New York style pizza that you get in
Speaker 1: New York, try Raphaelis. And for the best in Chinese
Speaker 1: cuisine here in Arizona, we recommend Yoo's Chinese Restaurant twenty
Speaker 1: four to eighty seven South Gilbert Road in Gilbert. Give
Speaker 1: them a call and tell them Doctor Sky sent you.
Speaker 1: Four eight zero eight nine nine zero three zero eight.
Speaker 1: There's so many things to see in our June skies,
Speaker 1: and we highly recommend ladies and gentlemen on this particular
Speaker 1: Doctor Sky experience and all others. You really do not
Speaker 1: need a massive telescope to enjoy. Many of the things
Speaker 1: with you and your family are simply by yourself. The
Speaker 1: best you can do. If you live in brightly lit
Speaker 1: cities like New York City and those areas around it,
Speaker 1: it's to try and find an area that is as
Speaker 1: dark as possible. You know that may sound facetious because
Speaker 1: bright lights seem to be everywhere, even here in Phoenix, Arizona,
Speaker 1: America's fifth largest city. We do have a light pollution problem,
Speaker 1: but binoculars are probably our best friend, and so will
Speaker 1: they be yours. They're easy to use, and you get
Speaker 1: to use naturally both of your eyes if they're in
Speaker 1: good health, to scan the heavens and not only see satellites,
Speaker 1: but many of the objects that we do talk about
Speaker 1: here on the Doctor Sky Experience for worlds and honor
Speaker 1: to be with owner John Katsimatidis every Sunday on the
Speaker 1: Cat's Roundtable, and you can check out times and availability
Speaker 1: for those shows by simply going to WABC radio dot com.
Speaker 1: And we appreciate you listening to the Doctor Sky Experience,
Speaker 1: where our blog of updated information from the realms of astronomy, space,
Speaker 1: aviation and weather is also there. If you have an email,
