Speaker 1: I'm Doctor Sky and would like to welcome you to
Speaker 1: the Doctor Sky experience here at Talk Radio seventy seven WABC,
Speaker 1: the crown Jewel of radio, as we like to say,
Speaker 1: the iconic seventy seven Talk Radio WABC, beaming proudly out
Speaker 1: of New York City, the Nation, the world, and the cosmos.
Speaker 1: As we continue with March twenty twenty four, get set
Speaker 1: for a series of important updates on what might be
Speaker 1: the biggest astronomical event you've seen in some time, a
Speaker 1: partial and or total solar eclipse across a good portion
Speaker 1: of North America. But speaking directly and proudly to our
Speaker 1: New York City audience here on WABC, I want to
Speaker 1: remind you that the totality path will pass up the
Speaker 1: upper portion of New York State. Now, if you're in
Speaker 1: the New York metro area, what kind of an eclipse
Speaker 1: will you see there? We'll get set for an eclipse
Speaker 1: that begins at two ten pm local time on April
Speaker 1: the eighth. Then, that particular object, the Moon, will start
Speaker 1: moving across the Sun maximum at three twenty five pm,
Speaker 1: in which ninety one percent of the Sun will be
Speaker 1: covered up by the close moon. We call it a
Speaker 1: perigee moon, the sun will be some forty three degrees
Speaker 1: high in the sky, and then everything goes in reverse
Speaker 1: to about four thirty six pm. That one goes into
Speaker 1: the history books. But why not make a journey to
Speaker 1: the northwestern part of New York State, or even for
Speaker 1: that matter, straight up Interstate eighty seven as you pass
Speaker 1: Albany and head up for the direction of Plattsburgh, New York.
Speaker 1: Just to give you a few examples of times that
Speaker 1: will you know, you can experience totality in Buffalo, New
Speaker 1: York at three twenty pm there will be an eclipse
Speaker 1: of totality of three minutes in forty five seconds, the
Speaker 1: sun forty five degrees high. In Rochester, New York, you'll
Speaker 1: get to see with hopeful clear skies three minutes and
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. And as you move into areas like Watertown,
Speaker 1: New York, like total solar eclipse with hopeful clear skies.
Speaker 1: Keep praying as we move on to talk about a
Speaker 1: three minute and some thirty seven and secondy clipse. And
Speaker 1: if you really go north on Interstate eighty seven up
Speaker 1: to Plattsburgh, just a little bit south of the Canadian border,
Speaker 1: not quite as far as going up to Montreal, Canada
Speaker 1: at three twenty nine pm. You'll get to experience three
Speaker 1: minutes and thirty seconds of totality. So what I'm saying
Speaker 1: in this particular episode of the Doctor Sky Experience is
Speaker 1: geared to our New York City region, New York, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: and of course areas of par far western New Jersey.
Speaker 1: So if there were you and I'm not, I would
Speaker 1: make some plans of getting to see that because you
Speaker 1: won't see another one of these eclipses for at least
Speaker 1: another three hundred and seventy five years, at least here
Speaker 1: in that portion of the Northeast. Now, let's also be honest,
Speaker 1: and that's the only thing we are here on this
Speaker 1: particular podcast. Weather conditions are so important. Now, we as
Speaker 1: a group, our company, Doctor Sky Incorporated, will be down
Speaker 1: in Junction, Texas for a very special event. Now you
Speaker 1: could join us there too. It's called the text Clips
Speaker 1: Music You can learn more by going to the text
Speaker 1: Clips Music Festival dot com website. April sixth to the
Speaker 1: eighth in Junction, Texas. Now why Junction, Texas Because that
Speaker 1: location We've scoured the internet and I'll have some links
Speaker 1: at the bottom of this podcast to help you about
Speaker 1: all of this with the eclipse. We've scoured the internet,
Speaker 1: and once that path of totality, or the darker the
Speaker 1: moon goes from say northern Mexico into southern Texas, the
Speaker 1: weather conditions around Junction, which is a little bit to
Speaker 1: the left by maybe one hundred and some miles of
Speaker 1: San Antonio, has at least a sixty or sixty five
Speaker 1: percent chance of clear skies. But the farther you go
Speaker 1: up that eclipse path, as you move up into the
Speaker 1: areas of the United States, as the shadow band goes
Speaker 1: up into the far portions of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, he
Speaker 1: goes into southern Illinois, Indiana gets it, a little sliver
Speaker 1: of Kentucky. Ohio gets the sea of Grade eclipse almost
Speaker 1: downtown Cleveland, and then New York State, the home of
Speaker 1: WABC RA, gets a number of locations in which you
Speaker 1: can see totality. But here's the truth. The weather conditions
Speaker 1: at that time of the year maybe only give us
Speaker 1: a twenty five percent chance of clear skies. But you
Speaker 1: never know. Because of this incredible al Nino weather pattern
Speaker 1: that's happening this year, maybe Texas will be clouded out
Speaker 1: and the northeast will be clear, and after that the
Speaker 1: eclipse moves into the area of Vermont, touches a little
Speaker 1: sliver of New Hampshire and goes on to the state
Speaker 1: of Mean. So be prepared, and that's exactly what we're
Speaker 1: asking you to do here on WABC with the Doctor
Speaker 1: Sky Experience. Don't forget about the solar glasses. Now. You
Speaker 1: can get these solar glasses a number of ways, but
Speaker 1: one of the ways we're going to promote here is
Speaker 1: to go to this website TSEE, which stands for Total
Speaker 1: Solar eclips the number seventeen Solar Eclipse dot com, so
Speaker 1: it's TSSE seventeen Solar Eclipse dot com. You can get
Speaker 1: the solar glasses there and also at a number of
Speaker 1: other great locations that will be promoting in our maybe
Speaker 1: twice a week update on this eclipse. So if you
Speaker 1: have any questions, you can send me an email. It's
Speaker 1: Doctor Skys Show drsky Show at gmail dot com. Be
Speaker 1: more than happy to of course follow up with you
Speaker 1: answering your questions. This is a great event, and don't
Speaker 1: forget children. Many schools will be actually having the day off.
Speaker 1: I think up in New York State, there's going to
Speaker 1: be like almost a day of absence, like you had
Speaker 1: a snow day for this, because it's such a big deal.
Speaker 1: So again, I'm Doctor Sky proudly here on talk radio
Speaker 1: seventy seven WABC with the Doctor Sky Experience. And again
Speaker 1: you can join us in Junction, Texas. Now, the town
Speaker 1: there is only about a city of three or four thousand,
Speaker 1: but yes, they're expecting maybe hundreds of thousands, and I'm
Speaker 1: being very conservative. But at the bottom of this podcast,
Speaker 1: I've added a link called Doctor Sky Eclipse and in
Speaker 1: there you can find so much information on great links
Speaker 1: about the eclipse, how to photograph the eclipse, what do
Speaker 1: you need to know? But once again, if you were
Speaker 1: just running around and walking around Manhattan or the New
Speaker 1: York City area, remember this eclipse April eighth, Monday, begins
Speaker 1: at two ten pm Eastern daylight time, excuse me, maximum
Speaker 1: at three twenty five pm Eastern daylight time, and ends
Speaker 1: at four thirty six pm Eastern daylight time, in which
Speaker 1: ninety one percent of the Sun is covered by the
Speaker 1: moon when the sun is forty three degrees high. So again,
Speaker 1: if you want to see ninety one percent and say
Speaker 1: you're satisfied with that, you can simply drive straight up
Speaker 1: Interstate eighty seven, as I'm sure a lot of people
Speaker 1: will be doing and maybe going up into the western
Speaker 1: part of New York. More eclipse answers and more things
Speaker 1: you can find out here as we're proud to join
Speaker 1: John Katzimatites, owner and operator of WABC Radio and Red
Speaker 1: Apple Medium, every Sunday on the Cat's Roundtable and appearing
Speaker 1: of course cats and Cosmi as time permits, with updates
Speaker 1: on everything from the realms of astronomy, space, aviation, and weather.
Speaker 1: And then every other week should we call it by
Speaker 1: weekly or bi monthly on this great radio show with
Speaker 1: your host Frank Morano on the other side of midnight,
Speaker 1: and then Wednesday mornings. Every other Wednesday morning one am
Speaker 1: Eastern daylight time, we change the radio show's name with
Speaker 1: Frank's permission to Cosmic Conversations with me, Doctor Sky. Doctor
Speaker 1: Sky reminds you want always remember to keep your eyes
Speaker 1: to the skies. I'm your navigator on the highway to
Speaker 1: the Heavens, a highway that has no tolls. So sit
Speaker 1: back and enjoy this particular ride as we expand people's
Speaker 1: minds on this great radio station. Well over one hundred
Speaker 1: years of great programming, the most powerful radio station at
Speaker 1: least as we know, and probably a few others out there,
Speaker 1: but this the crown jewel of radio talk radio, seventy
Speaker 1: seven WABC Clear Skies
