Calorogus Shark Media. Welcome, dear listener to another tranquil journey
through the cosmos. Tonight, we'll drift through the velvet darkness
of space, witnessing celestial wonders and human achievements alike. Let
your mind relax as we explore the mysteries of the universe.
(00:26):
Imagine yourself floating gently in the void, your eyes fixed
on the luminous orb of the Earth below, as you watch,
A shadow begins to creep across the face of the Moon.
This is no ordinary night. You're witnessing a partial lunar
eclipse of the super Harvest Moon. The moon, full and bright,
seems to grow even larger as it nears its closest
(00:47):
point to Earth. Its silvery light bathes the planet below
in a soft, ethereal glow. Slowly, ever so slowly, Earth's
shadow begins to caress the lunar surface. A partial lunar
eclipse will grace the night sky this week, offering skywatchers
a celestial treat The event will occur on Tuesday, September seventeenth,
twenty twenty four, coinciding with the full Harvest Moon, visible
(01:12):
from North and South America except Alaska, Europe, most of Africa,
Western Asia, and parts of Antarctica. This eclipse will see
Earth's shadow cover about eight point seven percent of the
Moon's surface at its peak. For viewers in the Eastern
time zone of the US, the eclipse will begin around
eight forty pm EDT and reach its maximum at approximately
(01:34):
ten forty four PMEDT. Those in Europe and Africa will
catch the spectacle during the pre dawn hours of September eighteenth.
While not as dramatic as a total lunar eclipse, this
partial eclipse offers a unique opportunity to observe the Moon's
subtle transformation as it passes through Earth's shadow. As you
(01:55):
watch this cosmic ballet, let your breathing slow, feel the
tension leave your body with each exhale, floating away into
the starry expanse around you. The eclipse reaches its peak
with just a small portion of the Moon veiled in
Earth's shadow. It's a reminder of the delicate dance of
celestial bodies, a rhythm that has continued for billions of years.
(02:22):
Now turn your gaze to a small, gleaming object making
its way across the star studded sky. This is the
crew Dragon's spacecraft Resilience, carrying the brave crew of the
Polaris Dawn mission back to Earth for five days, these
explorers have pushed the boundaries of human achievement in space.
They've conducted the first commercial spacewalk, floating free above our
(02:44):
blue Marble. They've reached heights no human has seen since
the days of Apollo, touching the very edge of Earth's influence.
As Resilience descends towards the wading waters of the Gulf
of Mexico, reflect on the courage and curiosity that drives
us to a explore. Let the wonder of human achievement
and the vastness of space fill your mind, calming your thoughts.
(03:09):
The spacecraft splashes down, a successful conclusion to a historic mission.
As the recovery teams spring into action, allow yourself to
drift back towards Earth, your mind and body relaxed and
at peace. Remember, dear listener, that in the grand cosmic scale,
(03:31):
our daily worries are but tiny specks. That the majesty
of space and the achievements of explorers inspire you to
dream big and sleep deep. Good Night and sweet dreams
of starry skies.
