1
00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm Doctor Sky, welcoming you once again to Talk Radio

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven WABC with the Doctor Sky Experience. We like

3
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.519
<v Speaker 1>to call WABC the crown Jewel of radio and for

4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>good reason, the iconic seventy seven Talk Radio WABC beaming

5
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>out of New York City, the nation, the world, and

6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the cosmos. If your first time listener to

7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 1>this particular podcast, do know that we cover in depth

8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the great realms of astronomy, space, aviation, and weather, and

9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>also talk about American exceptionalism equally important to our conversation

10
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>as we talk about truth, justice and the American Way.

11
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>As we now move rapidly into month number four, April

12
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four, so much to talk about, and of

13
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>course this particular podcast centering around great events that we

14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>hope to come with clear weather, clear skies for the

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 1>partial and total solar eclipse across America Monday, April the eighth,

16
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>But we begin, of course with the Moon and the

17
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>position of the Moon through our April skies as we

18
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about Earth's nearest neighbor. The reason we get to

19
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>see partial and total solar eclipses is all due to

20
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the Moon. As the month opens up, on April second,

21
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the moon is at last quarter. Something interesting to look

22
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 1>for in the sky would be a close conjunction of

23
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>the Moon, Mars, and Saturn. During the early morning hours

24
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>of April sixth, all these planets, just before sunrise will

25
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>be in a circle region in the sky as small

26
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>as some three degrees visible to the naked eye. We

27
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>find out the Moon is closest to us on the seventh,

28
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>just in time for the next days total solar eclipse,

29
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 1>and much more on the eclipse as we continue new moon,

30
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>of course, to make a total solar eclipse happens on

31
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the eighth. Then the Moon magically starts to wax in

32
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>our sky, visible just after sunset, creeping higher and higher

33
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>across the ecliptic the path we call the zodiac. It

34
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>reaches first quarter on the fifteenth, and then that particular

35
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>time if you have a telescope or a pair of binoculars,

36
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>in doctor Sky's opinion, that's me it's the best time

37
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>of the month the scan along the light and dark

38
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>line to get the best shadow relief as you see craters, shadows,

39
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 1>and the vast oceans that once were thought to be

40
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 1>on the surface of the Moon. We call these. The

41
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 1>man interesting beyond that is the Moon is that apogee

42
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>that is farthest from this particular planet Earth on the twentieth,

43
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and then we find out on the twenty third as

44
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the moon continues to go gibbus and then full the

45
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>beauty of the full pink moon on the twenty third

46
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>of April, as you mentioned before, great planetary conjunction in

47
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the morning of the sixth, the Moon, Mars, and Saturn

48
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 1>all within that three degree circle in the sky just

49
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 1>before sunrise. And if you're interested in seeing other close

50
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>conjunctions in the sky, why not try this On the

51
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>morning of the seventh, just before the eclipse, the moon

52
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>is near the planet Venus, forming a beautiful conjunction just

53
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>before eclipse time. And a couple of other interesting events

54
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>that happened during the calendar month of April. One of

55
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the better meteor showers of the year, known as the

56
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Lyric meteor shower. It will actually peak on the early

57
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>morning hours of April twenty second. But before we get

58
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>too excited about that, as I mentioned before, just know

59
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that the nearly full moon may wash out many meteors,

60
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>but still it's a good opportunity to look into the

61
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>sky where off the evenings of the twenty first and

62
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the night of the twenty second. Yes, if you look

63
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>into the northeastern sky around midnight, you'll notice a fairly

64
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>bright blue star called Vega that's in the constellation of Lyra,

65
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the harp. This is the general region of where these

66
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 1>particular meteors are coming from. But now for the rest

67
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 1>of this podcast edition here on the Doctor Sky Experience,

68
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we naturally cover the great eclipse that's about to happen.

69
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>But where will you be, what will your weather be like?

70
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And to answer all those questions, we recommend that you

71
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>go to our new website just dedicated to the eclipse,

72
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 1>and that is simply Doctor Sky Eclipse dot com drsky

73
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>eclipse dot com. I don't forget the most important thing

74
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we can talk about about health and safety here is

75
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>that by now, I hope you've acquired a pair of

76
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the safe ISO certified solar glasses. Still time possibly to

77
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>get those in time for the eclipse, but our supplier

78
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of course has to garrett verify that with you once

79
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you place your order, the delivery would be made in

80
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>time for the eclipse. But notwithstanding having those solar glasses,

81
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>if you're seeing the eclipse in partial phases or matter

82
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>where you're watching during partial phases, keep the solar glasses

83
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>on naturally, that's common sense. The only time you can

84
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>take those off is in the few moments or minutes

85
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>of totality, then it's safe to do that. Some advice

86
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>for all of you with smartphones, if I get the

87
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>question all the time, doctor Sky, is it's safe to

88
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>point my camera with no filter at the sun and

89
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 1>shoot pictures. I wouldn't do that. I would have another

90
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>type of solar filter, like the sol glasses over the

91
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>lenses of your smartphone, and larger ones over the DSLR

92
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>type cameras, and I'm sure the advanced photographers do know

93
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>about that. Other ways that I think are cool to

94
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 1>watch this eclipse, if you have children or that you

95
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>want to have a little eclipse party, is to get

96
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>a saltine cracker that's right, thirteen holes on the original ones,

97
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and then with a sheet of paper weigh at the

98
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>farthest part with your right hand, hold that salteine in

99
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 1>your left hand a few inches away from the piece

100
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 1>of paper, with your son to the back of you.

101
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>What you should see in clear skies during the partial

102
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>phases are thirteen little crescent eclipses. And also some of

103
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>these cresten eclipses are seen by standing near or around trees.

104
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>That is also possible. But for our New York audience

105
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Talk Radio seventy seven WABC, here's something interesting. The partial

106
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>eclipse in New York City begins at two ten pm

107
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Eastern day lifetime. It'll be maximum the maximum that you

108
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 1>can see of that eclipse twenty five pm Eastern day lifetime,

109
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 1>when ninety one percent of the Sun is covered up

110
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>by the moon. This particular eclips will end in New

111
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>York City proper at four thirty six pm. The Sun

112
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>at the max time three twenty five pm will be

113
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 1>some forty three degrees high in your sky, and I

114
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>hope your skies are clear. But all throughout New York State,

115
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 1>if you were to drive up to areas like Rochester

116
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo, New York, or north on Interstate eighty seven

117
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>up to say Plattsburgh, you would definitely be in the

118
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>shadow of the moon. And that's quite interesting. So doctor

119
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 1>skyeclips dot Com will give you more information. And for

120
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.399
<v Speaker 1>our friends that are listening around the nation and around

121
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the world, what I say is and suggests that is

122
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>kindly go to doctor skyeclips dot com for all information

123
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>about this particular eclipse. And remember myself, we will be

124
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>hopefully in Junction, Texas. We're leaving just after we do

125
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 1>this broadcast, and as we listen to this broadcast, just

126
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>know that we're right on our way hopefully to get

127
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>the Junction, Texas where I'm asked to be the MC

128
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>of the text Clips Music Festival in Junction, Texas, in

129
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Texas Hill Country, and that's an honor. It's Texclips Music

130
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Festival dot com. That website is also available at the

131
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sky Eclipse website. And what we'll be doing throughout

132
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>those four or five days starting April fifth, deep in

133
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the heart of Texas, literally almost right in the center

134
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>of Texas. We will be, of course doing something amazing,

135
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>will be watching what Rodeo is like. We will be

136
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>participating in the chili cook off, the wine tasting. We

137
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 1>have events for children, families and everybody, and yours truly

138
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>will be the MC of the eclipse event, hopefully with

139
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Claire Skies on April the eighth. But what could be

140
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>more important than that and that particular eclipse, Folks zooms

141
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>all the way from southern Texas all the way up

142
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 1>to states during the central portion of the United States.

143
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 1>It'll go through Arkansas, parts of Oklahoma. It continues to

144
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>race up until let's say in the end and Illinois

145
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and in Cleveland, Ohio, there's a baseball game taking place

146
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 1>on April the eighth. It's opening season for the Cleveland Guardians.

147
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>You remember them, they were the Cleveland Indians, and they're

148
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>going to open up that parking lot just before the

149
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>eclipse where they'll get to see over three and a

150
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.959
<v Speaker 1>half minutes of totality before game time, which starts around

151
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.319
