Welcome, starry-eyed dreamers, to another tranquil episode of "Sleep from Space." Tonight, we'll embark on a journey through our solar system, exploring how time flows differently across the celestial bodies that dance around our Sun.Imagine yourself drifting through the cosmic expanse, watching as planets and moons revolve in their eternal orbits. Each world, with its unique rotation and revolution, tells time in its own way. On Mercury, a single day lasts two of its years. Venus, our sister planet, experiences sunrises only twice per Venusian year.We'll visit the rusty dunes of Mars, where a day is just 40 minutes longer than Earth's, and clocks tick slightly slower due to the reduced gravity. Then, we'll soar to the gas giants – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – where storms have raged for centuries, marking time in massive, swirling patterns.As you drift off to sleep, ponder the nature of time itself – how it bends and stretches across the vastness of space, a cosmic river flowing at different rates throughout our solar neighborhood. Let the rhythms of these distant worlds lull you into a peaceful slumber, where dreams of alien sunsets and exotic moons await.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The Blue Supermoon

2024-08-1903:40

Just as the Earth doesn't orbit the sun in a perfect circle, the moon's orbit around Earth isn't perfectly circular either. Instead, the moon follows an elliptical path, creating an oval-like orbit. This elliptical orbit means that sometimes the moon is closer to Earth. When the moon is both full and at its closest point, it’s called a supermoon, appearing brighter and larger than usual.Supermoons happen about three to four times a year. The term "supermoon" was first introduced in 1979, though astronomers refer to this event as a perigean full moon. Perigee is the closest point in the moon’s orbit, which averages about 226,000 miles from Earth.A blue moon is simpler to explain and relates to the frequency of full moons. There are two types of blue moons: monthly and seasonal.A monthly blue moon occurs when there are two full moons in one month. Monday’s full moon, however, is a seasonal blue moon: it’s the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Typically, a season only has three full moons, but the summer of 2024 has four.Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!
