My name is Billy Newman. And I'm Marina Hansen. And tonight we're out in Maui. And we're outside right now. And we're trying to try us out where we do some recordings of podcasts while we're outside and making some observations. And I'm all for that, that even with the wind, and maybe whatever else you might hear in the background, it's maybe a little more interesting to kind of go through some of the observations that we're making while we're making them. So it has a bit more of a like a live feel to it. But I think it's pretty nice tonight. It's cool. I think we're pretty close to a full moon. What would you say it is, Marina. I think that may actually be full tonight. Yeah, it probably looks like it's gonna be at least in the next 12 hours. So I'd say it's pretty close to being a full moon. And I bet it seems like about the right amount of time. It's been about two weeks since we had a new moon a couple of weeks, or you know, like a few weeks back, so it seems like it'd be right in line to be full. about NASA. I guess. This is the October Full Moon which is pretty cool. Was that the Is it the wolf moon? Or is it the November moon? Is it the beaver moon? November is the beaver man November is the beaver moon? Yeah. That's very cool. Yeah, I think that this one is the Wolf Man, the wolf moon, and then September is sort of the harvest. Man. Is that right? I think so. I need to there's a couple ideas around the Harvest Moon, I remember hearing about where it's at what is it? It's like, the first full moon after the autumnal equinox like the fall equinox, September 21. So if there's a full moon that falls after that, pretty quickly, whatever that next full moon is, I think that was supposed to be the Harvest Moon, but also like that the other order of months as there would be harvest in September. And then in October, it'd be like wolf moon, and then beaver moon. And then I don't know what it is in December, but is that it's been out tonight. And looking at the full moon. We're up on a hillside in western Maui, which is pretty cool and new to us. And I think we're looking at a bit of cloud cover that's kind of moving around the mountain over here. And it seems like it's almost like that all the time. Like you look out there. And it looks like it's raining there, doesn't it? Yeah, I think that it is. Yeah, it's interesting. Like how it looks like it's raining out there all the time. I guess it's how how it's made to be a rain forest upstairs because of all the precipitation they get. And I guess that's sort of what I understand about like the weather pattern on the northern side of the island too. Is that like that gets more rain and weather than what we do over here on the the western facing side of this mountain over here. Yeah, up in Kapalua where I work. It is rainy every single morning as seams train off and on throughout the day. Yeah, so it was sprinkling on me when I got off work today. It's pretty good. So it's kind of weird how it goes back and forth like that so much, but yeah, I guess I guess just earlier this week was the orionid meteor shower. Did you read that much on that? I think you were talking to your aunt about that and like how it was coming into its peak phase just a couple days ago? Yeah. I think the 21st and 22nd were supposed to be the peak days Today's the 23rd. So yesterday, the day before? Yeah, it's cool. I got to see like one of them go by while I was out doing some observations, but with the heavy moonlight it's kind of dampened. I guess some of the dark skies that you would have to really, I guess enjoy watching a bunch of meteor shower. Or you're like watching the meteors come in through the ...
