(dramatic music) Caleroga Shock 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. (dramatic music) 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 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 sky watchers a celestial treat. The event will occur on Tuesday, September 17th, 2024, coinciding with the full harvest moon. Visible 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 8.7% of the moon's surface at its peak. For viewers in the eastern time zone of the US, the eclipse will begin around 8.40 PM EDT and reach its maximum at approximately 10.44 PM EDT. Those in Europe and Africa will catch the spectacle during the pre-dawn hours of September 18th, 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 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. (gentle music) Now turn your gaze to a small, gleaming object, making its way across the star-studded sky. This is the Crew Dragon 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 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 waiting waters of the Gulf of Mexico, reflect on the courage and curiosity that drives us to explore, let the wonder of human achievement and the vastness of space fill your mind calming your thoughts. 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, our daily worries are but tiny specks. Let 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.
