Appreciate you guys checking this one out. It's nice that the good part of the smoke is cleared up here in the western part of Oregon. I'm pretty happy about that. I think on the last podcast, and you probably might have heard me talking about the Oregon wildfires. And some of the consequences that have arisen from those starting up over the Labor Day weekend and are really stuck have really taken off over the Labor Day weekend. Really strange to kind of go through it and experience it. You know, I guess there have been other big fires like that in the past. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff in California that is still going on. And I don't think he's had the kind of rain relief that Oregon has been fortunate to get, at least in some northern parts of Oregon. So I think some of that is some good news for the Oregon side. I know that the fires are still going on. I know that they're not really all 100% contained. I think even you know, like the fire that was in Southern Oregon and the talent. The Phoenix area still exists. It's still burning. And it's I think there's another one is shady Cove that's still burning. I think really like there's a significant amount that's still on fire. But I also think it's a little more of a controlled and contained space now. I know that they contain it. And so it's probably good news for the most part. And Wow, did we get some good brainstorms over the last couple of ...

Appreciate you guys for tuning in to this episode recorded for the first week of August in 2020. And wanted to jump into a couple of the things I've been doing through the month of July and some outdoor camping and travel stuff I've been up to. I was going to run down some of that in this podcast today. I wanted to talk about a trip I made to Eastern Oregon. I think like last week before last is when I was out in this area, and I was trying to get some good observations in for comet nowise I'm not sure if any of you guys got to check that out while it was in its prime viewing section there I think that was why we had kind of like the new moon before it switched over to being gibbous moon or nearly full moon like it's been the last week or so. But I think it was around the 15th through the 25th or so of July. There are some pretty good observations to be made of comet Neo wise, and I guess after kind of reading about it a bit, it's not considered a great comet, like Hale Bopp was, or I think it was I talkie 9996 we hadn't had a great comment in a long time I've ever seen those when I was a kid though that was pretty cool. Like watching the Hale Bopp come through for it seemed like three months or something you know that you're just kind of looking at that in the low corners of the northwestern and Western skies was kind of cruising across the skyline I remember that still from like, third-fourth grade when it was coming through, and I also remember the year before that, when like straight up in the air you know like straight up in the sky at night for it was only like a week or so I was a kid you know, but I remember for that week you can see a real bright two-tailed comet those guns I think I can't remember how to pronounce I think is how you talk here. I think it's it's some Japanese name. Pretty sure. But that was a really cool one. That one I still remember really clearly I was only like, I don't know, seven or something when that like when that comic came through. But I really appreciated getting to make some observations with that one as a kid. I missed Halley's Comet, though, back in what 87, I think, was the last one if it came through. And I probably will be the few years that you know that decade or two of the age range that doesn't get to see Halley's Comet in their lifetime. So I think I was born in 88, of course. So if I make it past 100, maybe you'll see it; what is it maybe like 80 something years, so it's probably not going to come back around until I think it's like the 2017 or 2000 80s that I'd have to make it to for to see Halley's Comet again, that'd be fun, but I don't know, maybe we'll see our future. The future is at that time. But it was really cool to get to see Comet Neo wise; It was just a little below what would be the legs and feet of Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, or like the big bear as it observed. But if you kind of look at the deeper part that we're all most...

Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the night sky podcast. My name is Billy Newman. And I'm Marina Hansen. And tonight we are live again in the field in the wild that we are under the night sky in Maui, Hawaii. And we were up near a coffee plantation up the road from the Lynette Kaanapali area. And it's cool. We have sky above us, we have a little bit of like cloud and mist and stuff over to the side. But it's really more clear and darker than it was a few nights ago when we had talked closer to the full moon. So we probably have probably a couple hours even to tell the moon comes up tonight, I think so it's it's been a couple days, but it's nice. We are under the night sky tonight. And we were going to I guess make some observations and talk about him a little bit while we're hanging out here under the sky. So it's kind of fun. What did we talk about last time we were talking we were going through like a bunch of the star stuff and sort of like where some of the things were, I think we talked about like the Summer Triangle. Or like some of the start like Vega and didn't have an Altair. I wanted to talk tonight about like, how we can see the Milky Way tonight. And it's cool right now this time in October like what you notice over there, it's like you see that area of the sky? And so what you might notice is like what you see Taurus over there, do you see Taurus over there? It's pretty faint, but you can kind of make it that V I'm sure after this car passes. Once the headlights again. Okay, well so Okay, look up there. Over to the east. You see the Pleiades I do see the Pleiades right so if the Pleiades at the tail of the bowl, the little tag of the tail then then the horns of the bowl are down here. So you see the V bright so that we see is all Tiburon. And then we have like the V of the bowl over there and Torah. So we see we see tourists over there. And then we see the Pleiades and then we move up here and we see parts of Perseus so we see like Capella down there in Riga, Riga. I didn't learn my constellations. But we see Perseus up here, which we'll get into that in a little bit, too. I want to talk about Perseus stuff. And then as we move up here, we see Cassiopeia and then we kind of move across here. And then we see the NAB and Seder and Vega. And then I'll tear over to the side. And then we kind of move on further down toward the western horizon where we see Sagittarius. And so what you'll notice with this is this band right here in the Milky Way. You see that out? It's kind of like right through there. Yeah, a lot more noticeable today. Yeah. And what's cool, though, at this time of year is what we're noticing is, so in the summertime, we would have been looking at the Milky Way running north-south as it rose up above the horizon. So you would look kind of appear, and you sort of see...
