1
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Welcome once again to the Doctor Sky Experience, proudly here

2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>on Talk Radio seventy seven WABC.

3
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>We like to call the radio station the.

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Crown Jewel of radio, the iconic seventy seven Talk Radio WABC,

5
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>deeming proudly out of New York City, the nation, the world,

6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure.

7
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Even out to the Cosmos.

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>As we move into the summer of twenty twenty four.

9
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>This latest edition of the Doctor Sky Experience will give

10
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 1>you some great ideas on things to observe in the

11
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>nighttime sky as long as you have clear weather and

12
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of dark skies. But don't change the channel.

13
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>City dwellers also have a great opportunity to partake in this.

14
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Very interesting experience.

15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>So let's begin and talk about two news stories that

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>are actually happening right now. One of them is the

17
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>fate of the Boeing Starliner. As we all know by now,

18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the Starliner successfully, after a few maneuvering issues, docked with

19
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the International Space Station, and we do know now that

20
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>the two astronauts on board have been working out some

21
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 1>issues with the thrusters, some helium leaks and other things

22
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that are happening on board the spacecraft. They were originally

23
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>scheduled to return by the twenty sixth of June, but

24
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that return has been postponed indefinitely. Much more on that later,

25
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>But interestingly enough, when they do return, these two astronauts

26
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 1>will be making the first attempt for a manned US

27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>spacecraft to actually land on land, and that's slated for

28
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the desert southwest, more likely White Sands, New Mexico.

29
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Will keep you posted, but.

30
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Also something interesting in the news, and I take a

31
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit of exception to how it's been reported in

32
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 1>legacy media. We're hearing a story about a star that

33
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>may go nova and be rarely bright.

34
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 2>In the heavens. Well.

35
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 1>The Doctor Sky Experience lenges those particular words by telling

36
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 1>you nothing but the truth. The story is about a

37
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>star called Tea the letter T.

38
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Corona Borealis.

39
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Corona borealis is an easy to see constellation in darker

40
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>skies as we move a course into the deep part

41
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of summer. It's identified as a northern crown in the

42
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>heavens now.

43
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 2>The star T.

44
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Corona borealis is never bright, at least to the naked eye,

45
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>But in eighteen sixty six, an astronomer named John Birmingham

46
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>actually discovered a star that he identified and later called

47
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 1>the Blaze Star. What's the story. There's a red supergiant

48
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>surrounded by a small white dwarf star. Now a white

49
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>dwarf star has compact material almost on the amazing crazy snide.

50
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>If we go into this, a spoonful of material of

51
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a d white dwarf may weigh more than a giant

52
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>apartment building or even that of an aircraft carrier. Hard

53
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 1>to believe, but that's in quantum physics. The backstory on

54
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>the Blaze Star is that every so often, as it

55
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>happened in eighteen sixty six, the star flares up. It

56
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>also happened in nineteen forty six. Why and how the

57
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>red giant star has material pulled off it by the

58
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>tiny white dwarf which is no larger than the size

59
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>of the Earth.

60
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Hard to believe.

61
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And when normal material hits this little dwarf star, it

62
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>literally blazes up through a dynamic infusion. But the real

63
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>truth of this is this particular star, if indeed it happens,

64
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>astronomers are waiting for another resurgence of the Blaze Star

65
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that's supposed to happen sometime maybe during this particular summer

66
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>July or August.

67
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>What can you see? While a pair of.

68
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Binoculars would probably be needed for city dwellers and even

69
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>those out in dark locations, the Blaze Star may not

70
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>get any brighter than the North Star. And if you're

71
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>familiar with astronomy or not, the North Star marking the

72
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>north celestial Paul is really not the brightest star in

73
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 1>the heavens at all. So truth and advertising, of course,

74
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>we tell you nothing but the truth.

75
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Here I go through.

76
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Such detail on this because it's important to people to

77
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>know that it's not going to be a star blazing

78
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>as bright as the full moon or something to be

79
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>seen in daylight, but it's still quite interesting. It's called

80
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a recurrent nova, and that of course gives the historical

81
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>side and story to t Corona Borealis the Blaze Star. Now,

82
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want to learn more about it, simply go

83
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>to this website, the skylive dot com like thch skylive

84
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>dot com, and you can learn more about this particular

85
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>star more from the visual side of astronomy. But here

86
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>in this doctor Sky update, we bring you something even

87
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>more fascinating that even city dwellers can say. With a

88
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 1>clare Sky look due south around ten PM as we

89
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>end June and move into July, the beautiful zodiac constellation

90
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>of Scorpius will be easy to see with the naked eye.

91
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>It's a red super giant star. Now, if we compare

92
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the size of Ontaries, which by the way, the name

93
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>translates as rival of Mars because of its reddish orange color.

94
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 1>But Mars is so tiny, some four thousand plus miles

95
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 1>in diameter compared to the star I'm about to talk about.

96
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>The Sun, as we know, is about eight hundred and

97
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>sixty five thousand miles across. If you would have round

98
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>it off to a million miles, you'd be wrong. But

99
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>for this example, the star Ontaris is six hundred million

100
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>miles in diameter. Why it's an older star. Maybe one

101
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>day we'll go and collapse and turn into a supernoma.

102
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>But it's some five hundred and fifty light years away.

103
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>So how about this illustration. When you're looking at that

104
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>particular star with the nick and eye, or maybe in

105
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a pair of binoculars, just know that the light left

106
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.959
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and fifty or so years ago. That means

107
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the light left from Ontario is that you see tonight

108
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>in the year fourteen seventy five. And if we go

109
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>back into the annals of astronomy, the great astronomer and

110
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>publisher Nicholas Copernicus who gave us to definitive information that

111
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the Sun was at the center of the Solar system and.

112
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Not the Earth.

113
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>He was only three years old. When you see the

114
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 1>light of Ontaris tonight, Ontaris, if you look at it

115
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>on a scale of comparative analysis, would be so much

116
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 1>simply larger than our sun.

117
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>These are red super giants.

118
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 1>So share that with friends and neighbors, as you.

119
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Can learn so much more about the sky.

120
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And speaking of how to identify objects in the sky,

121
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>here's what I recommend. I do a lot of public

122
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>programs for seniors, students and people in between in ages.

123
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>And what we do is we print out something that

124
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 1>you can print out or look at it on the internet.

125
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Go to skymaps dot com and I'm looking at a

126
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>current July twenty twenty four analysis of the sky. It

127
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>tells you everything that you'd probably ever want to know

128
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 1>to share with you yourself, neighbors, friends, children, and seniors

129
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 1>about the wonders of the nighttime sky. That is so

130
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 1>much of the that we have right now for some

131
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>things to talk about, observe, and actually see in the sky.

132
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, if your journeys take you west,

133
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 1>come to some Doctor Sky favorites. If you're looking for

134
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>great food, now how about New.

135
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>York best of the West pizza.

136
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>We make it Rafael's Pizza, two locations in Glendale, Arizona.

137
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Rafael Pizza and Wings will not disappoint you, especially if

138
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you're traveling from the great area in which WABC is

139
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.079
