Speaker 1: Welcome once again to the Doctor Sky Experience, exclusively here
Speaker 1: at America's iconic radio station, Talk Radio seventy seven w
Speaker 1: ABC out of New York City and around the world,
Speaker 1: as we continue to update you on great events in
Speaker 1: the sky. The Doctor Sky Experience encompasses not only the
Speaker 1: great realms of astronomy, space, aviation, and weather, but interviews
Speaker 1: and special guests about American exceptionalism and ways that our country,
Speaker 1: of course, can follow the path of truth, justice and
Speaker 1: the American Way. Here we are with our brand new
Speaker 1: podcast Update Sky Update number six. As we move toward
Speaker 1: the middle portion of November twenty twenty two, Welcome skywatchers.
Speaker 1: Within the sound of my voice, here are some of
Speaker 1: the things that you should be able to see if
Speaker 1: you have hopefully some dark skies and clear skies. How
Speaker 1: about that total lunary eclipse of the eighth Fans asked
Speaker 1: that great pictures coming into us here at the Doctor
Speaker 1: Sky Experience. And if you'd like to have an email
Speaker 1: sent back to you from me, that is sending us
Speaker 1: an email. Our email is Simbly It's just simply Doctor
Speaker 1: Sky Show at gmail dot com. The moon continues to
Speaker 1: be at its farthest position from the Earth during this month,
Speaker 1: the month of November, on the fourteenth, we call it apage,
Speaker 1: about two hundred and fifty two thousand miles away. Last
Speaker 1: quarter moon occurs on the sixteenth, and then the moon
Speaker 1: continues to wane, a beautiful thin slipper of moonlight visible
Speaker 1: during the early morning hours just before sunrise. The next
Speaker 1: new moon on the twenty third, Herald's in the darkest
Speaker 1: naturally of all the skies throughout the calendar month. So
Speaker 1: wherever you're listening to the Doctor Sky Experience and our
Speaker 1: particular update this the Sky Update, episode number six, we
Speaker 1: certainly welcome you to follow along with us and having
Speaker 1: me as your guide, your navigator on the highway to
Speaker 1: the heavens. Interesting information though, as we move toward this
Speaker 1: particular week, another of the great meteor showers is actually
Speaker 1: just about ready to be birth or reach its peak,
Speaker 1: and I'm referring to the annual Leonid meteor show. These
Speaker 1: meteors from a comet known as Temple Tunnel, which goes
Speaker 1: around the Sun once every thirty three years, has an
Speaker 1: unpredictable path of the total number of meteors seen. In
Speaker 1: some years, we've had literal storms back in nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 1: meteors rained out of the sky and get a load
Speaker 1: of this for a short period of time in the
Speaker 1: Western United States of over five hundred thousand metiears an
Speaker 1: hour for a short burst. Well what about this year?
Speaker 1: Doctor Sky's recommendations always come from honesty. If you look
Speaker 1: into the early morning sky on the morning of the eighteenth,
Speaker 1: that is Friday, the eighteenth of November, with clear skies
Speaker 1: in the east, the constellation of Leo the Lion is there.
Speaker 1: And if you have, of course a clear sky, let's say,
Speaker 1: you should get to see under these dark, almost moonless conditions,
Speaker 1: maybe ten or fifteen of these shooting stars is sometimes
Speaker 1: to but they are debriathed from commet tumple tunnel. Patience
Speaker 1: is a virtue, of course, in anything you do when
Speaker 1: it comes to looking at meteor showers and meteor storms
Speaker 1: from the realm of space. We find out that the
Speaker 1: NASA Artemus I moon rocket is hopefully going to get
Speaker 1: off the launch pad as early as the sixteenth of
Speaker 1: this month. And if that date doesn't happen, look at
Speaker 1: how many delays we've had. There's another scheduled date by
Speaker 1: about the nineteenth of November, as this particular rocket, the
Speaker 1: most powerful rocket then ever launched with over eight million
Speaker 1: pounds of thrust sends a unmanned oryon space capsule out
Speaker 1: on a journey of some forty days in a high
Speaker 1: mark or good around the Moon. What's its eventual purpose?
Speaker 1: To help construct a gateway space station around the Moon,
Speaker 1: and of course landing humans back on the Moon may
Speaker 1: be as early as the year twenty twenty seven, but
Speaker 1: we'll have to keep our fingers crossed. If indeed you
Speaker 1: have any questions or comments, always send us an email
Speaker 1: at Doctor Sky Show. That's Drsky Show at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: And proud to be here with all the great hosts
Speaker 1: on America's iconic radio station, Talk Radio seventy seven w
Speaker 1: ABC out of New York City and powering around the
Speaker 1: world on WABC radio dot com, and all the great
Speaker 1: podcast hosts that are here at this iconic radio station.
Speaker 1: And just to remind you, ladies and gentlemen, as we
Speaker 1: continue to move through this particular month for planets. High
Speaker 1: in the south at sunset, the planet Saturn easy to
Speaker 1: see what the naked eye Jupiter dominates the early evening
Speaker 1: sky at sunset in the east, and don't forget the
Speaker 1: planet Mars, the red god of war, now dominates your
Speaker 1: sky by around nine to thirty PM. Yes, in case Shakurius.
Speaker 1: That's the bright orange red object that's rising in the northeast.
Speaker 1: It'll get better in December and we'll have much more
Speaker 1: to say about that. Here Doctor Sky reminds you always
Speaker 1: remember to keep your eyes to the sky. Is I'm
Speaker 1: your navigator on the highway to the heavens. Good health
Speaker 1: and clear skies.
