WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And welcome once again, ladies and gentlemen, to the Doctor

2
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Sky Experience heard exclusively here on Talk Radio seventy seven WABC,

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>as we like to call it, the crown Jewel of radio,

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the iconic Talk Radio seventy seven WABC, beaming out of

5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>New York City, the nation, the world, and I'm sure

6
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>deep into the cosmos. So pack and relax as we

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 1>continue to update you on your monthly sky events, things

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>that you can see, the want, the beautiful skies wherever

9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to us. And this report is current for

10
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the early portion of May itto mid May twenty twenty three.

11
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to May. The most prolific object or iconic object

12
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 1>that you'll see in the skies in May, in my opinion,

13
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>is the gorgeous full flower moon that occurs there in

14
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 1>the early morning hours of May the sixth, and at

15
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>that particular time, sky watches around the world world take note.

16
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>There's an important meteor shower that takes place during the

17
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 1>early morning hours of May the sixth and continues to

18
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>a few days beyond that, and we'll have more saying

19
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>about that. After this beautiful full moon. The moon continues

20
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to wane last quarter on the twelfth of May, and

21
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>then we return once again to the dark of the moon,

22
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 1>the best time, in doctor Sky's opinion, for you to

23
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>observe some of the faint sky objects, and again reminding

24
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>you that if you're living within city lights, light pollution,

25
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of course, on the grand scale, this report also gives

26
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 1>you some opportunity to see things, not just from the

27
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>suburban locations. Once that moon reaches its new phase, start

28
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 1>looking for it into the west northwest on the evening

29
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>hour of about the twentieth of May. You'll see the

30
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>thinnest and sliver, tiny little sliver that is of moonlight.

31
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>The moon continues to witness on the twenty third of May.

32
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>The moon is near the beautiful planet Venus, the goddess

33
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>of love and beauty as we like to call it,

34
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 1>which now, of course is higher in our skin eyes,

35
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and exceptionally bright. And you know by now the reason

36
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Venus shines so bright is that indeed, it's because of

37
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the great cloud cover, toxic clouds, but nonetheless beautiful. From

38
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>our vantage point on the Earth, the via planet Venus

39
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>is a hellish planet, indeed, with temperatures well over nine

40
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred degrees fahrenheit on a daily basis. Then we find

41
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 1>out on the twenty fourth of May, the moon is

42
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>exceptionally close to now fading planet Mars of the sky.

43
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>As this particular object moves well past that is Mars,

44
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>the constellation of Gemini the Twins moves into the constellation

45
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the zodiac sign of what we call Cancer. The moon

46
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>is that it's farthest on the twenty six of this month.

47
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 1>You won't notice much of a difference, but remember the

48
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>difference between the size of a perigy moon and an

49
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 1>apigy moon is pretty easy to see with the eye.

50
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>You can tell the difference. First quarter moon as we

51
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>wrap up the particular month of May occurs on the

52
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh, and the beautiful sight. Indeed, if you've ever

53
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>had the opportunity to share with friends and neighbors, people

54
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>say you can only see the moon at night. Not true,

55
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>because when the moon reaches its first quarter phase, the

56
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 1>moon will rise around local noon and it will be

57
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 1>in the sky even with the sun. You'll have to

58
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>look over toward the eastern part of the sky and

59
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe into the northeast. That all depends on your location.

60
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>For planets, again, we find out that Mergury is that

61
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>its greatest elongation in the early morning sky of the

62
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth. Lucky sky watchers with clear skies will see

63
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the planet Mergery, the smallest of the major planets, as

64
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>we look into the skies of the early dawn by

65
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the twenty ninth of May, into the southern part of

66
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the sky. Now let's talk a little bit more about supermoons.

67
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 1>We hear this it's not really an astronomical term, but

68
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the term supermoon is really an astrological term. But in

69
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 1>astronomy they still list on the calendar and what a

70
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>supermoon is, so will give you a definition. The supermoon

71
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 1>is when the moon's perigy coincides with its closest point

72
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>that it is to the Earth during a calendar months.

73
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>So what does that mean in Earth language? July the third,

74
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>the full Buck moon becomes the full Buck supermoon, an

75
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>outstanding object to see, rising of course into the east

76
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>just after sunset. The second of those supermoons of twenty

77
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty three occurs on August the first, when we find

78
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>out that it's the full Sturgeon moon. And guess what.

79
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>The month of August is long enough that we get

80
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 1>a second full moon at the end of the month

81
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of August on the thirty first, that coincidentally, in somebody

82
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 1>people's ideas, is known as a blue moon, that is

83
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the second full moon in the calendar month. But that

84
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 1>definition is not absolute. So on the thirty first of

85
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>August you can see the second full moon, a supermoon

86
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>called the super blue moon. And then, finally, in doctor

87
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Sky's opinion, probably the most beautiful and romantic of all

88
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>the moons of the entire year. Yes, I picked on

89
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>September twenty ninth, so we find out is the beautiful

90
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>full super harvest moon. Now, the harvest moon has so

91
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>much magic to it. So folks, if you're waiting to

92
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>see one of the most beautiful moons of the entire

93
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>year that's full, my suggestion is to remind yourself that

94
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the moon is full that is closest to us at

95
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 1>five point fifty eight am Eastern daylight time on September

96
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth, So around that day or so you will

97
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>be able to see a spectacular moon. Don't forget if

98
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for objects in the heavens like satellites, we

99
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>recommend heavens dash above dot com and while you're here

100
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.639
<v Speaker 1>with the Doctor Sky Experience on top Radio seventy seven WABC.

101
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>You can always email with me with your questions and comments,

102
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 1>and that of course is simple. It's Doctor Sky's show

103
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 1>at gmail dot com. And if you'd also like, ladies

104
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen, to talk about so many of the other

105
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>things that go on in the nighttime sky, But we

106
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 1>remind you that there's so many other objects and things

107
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to see in the sky. But I think right now

108
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 1>it's a good opportunity to start preparing for two eclipses

109
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Sun that are going to take place in

110
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the calendar year of twenty twenty three. And one of those,

111
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, occurs on the afternoon of October fourteenth,

112
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>when we get to see an annular eclipse of the Sun.

113
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And then we move on to the big total solar

114
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 1>eclipse that will take place, don't forget less than a

115
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>year away on April eighth, twenty twenty four. We're already

116
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>here at the Doctor Sky team making preparations for this

117
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>big event. I hope you will too. Always remember to

118

139
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Apart from a show that I did many years ago,

140
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>called a call to rights, for a bill of rights,

141
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution, and so many other things. As they say

142
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>on the radio here on WABC, what do they stand for,

143
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly on the Cat's Roundtable, and that is Cats and

144
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Cosby we stand for one truth, justice and the America.

145
