00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:11.599
Calorogus Shark Media. Welcome, dear listener to another tranquil journey

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.640
through the cosmos. Tonight, we'll drift through the velvet darkness

3
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.640
of space, witnessing celestial wonders and human achievements alike. Let

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.839
your mind relax as we explore the mysteries of the universe.

5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.800
Imagine yourself floating gently in the void, your eyes fixed

6
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.359
on the luminous orb of the Earth below, as you watch,

7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.320
A shadow begins to creep across the face of the Moon.

8
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.280
This is no ordinary night. You're witnessing a partial lunar

9
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.920
eclipse of the super Harvest Moon. The moon, full and bright,

10
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.840
seems to grow even larger as it nears its closest

11
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.280
point to Earth. Its silvery light bathes the planet below

12
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.600
in a soft, ethereal glow. Slowly, ever so slowly, Earth's

13
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.600
shadow begins to caress the lunar surface. A partial lunar

14
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.159
eclipse will grace the night sky this week, offering skywatchers

15
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.599
a celestial treat The event will occur on Tuesday, September seventeenth,

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.359
twenty twenty four, coinciding with the full Harvest Moon, visible

17
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.640
from North and South America except Alaska, Europe, most of Africa,

18
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.680
Western Asia, and parts of Antarctica. This eclipse will see

19
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.680
Earth's shadow cover about eight point seven percent of the

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.040
Moon's surface at its peak. For viewers in the Eastern

21
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.000
time zone of the US, the eclipse will begin around

22
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.120
eight forty pm EDT and reach its maximum at approximately

23
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.239
ten forty four PMEDT. Those in Europe and Africa will

24
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.760
catch the spectacle during the pre dawn hours of September eighteenth.

25
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.439
While not as dramatic as a total lunar eclipse, this

26
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.040
partial eclipse offers a unique opportunity to observe the Moon's

27
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:55.319
subtle transformation as it passes through Earth's shadow. As you

28
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.799
watch this cosmic ballet, let your breathing slow, feel the

29
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.359
tension leave your body with each exhale, floating away into

30
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.799
the starry expanse around you. The eclipse reaches its peak

31
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.599
with just a small portion of the Moon veiled in

32
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.120
Earth's shadow. It's a reminder of the delicate dance of

33
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:21.039
celestial bodies, a rhythm that has continued for billions of years.

34
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.520
Now turn your gaze to a small, gleaming object making

35
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.960
its way across the star studded sky. This is the

36
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.000
crew Dragon's spacecraft Resilience, carrying the brave crew of the

37
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.439
Polaris Dawn mission back to Earth for five days, these

38
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.599
explorers have pushed the boundaries of human achievement in space.

39
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.840
They've conducted the first commercial spacewalk, floating free above our

40
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.439
blue Marble. They've reached heights no human has seen since

41
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.039
the days of Apollo, touching the very edge of Earth's influence.

42
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.800
As Resilience descends towards the wading waters of the Gulf

43
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.560
of Mexico, reflect on the courage and curiosity that drives

44
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.759
us to a explore. Let the wonder of human achievement

45
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.199
and the vastness of space fill your mind, calming your thoughts.

46
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.599
The spacecraft splashes down, a successful conclusion to a historic mission.

47
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.520
As the recovery teams spring into action, allow yourself to

48
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.759
drift back towards Earth, your mind and body relaxed and

49
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:31.199
at peace. Remember, dear listener, that in the grand cosmic scale,

50
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.120
our daily worries are but tiny specks. That the majesty

51
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.479
of space and the achievements of explorers inspire you to

52
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.639
dream big and sleep deep. Good Night and sweet dreams

53
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.719
of starry skies.
