Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Will you be able to write now when it's convenient
Speaker 1: and safe? But get on with it. Go have a
Speaker 1: look at the moon. Don't tell me that isn't ripe. Oh, no, astronomer,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right word. But the layman
Speaker 1: on myself, it just looks very bountiful and right today,
Speaker 1: like a shiny old apple in nana's garden. Plump, plump,
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, Lee's this sema of the show, Christian.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to tune this morning here you guys.
Speaker 1: Do we the moon this morning? As me and my
Speaker 1: partner were all struck by it? Great word, that moonstruck
Speaker 1: all struck by it this morning and after the amazing
Speaker 1: sunset yesterday, Like Patsy said, we've even gone on our
Speaker 1: phones and have sent you the photos. Lee. These are
Speaker 1: actually great photos. She sent me two photos. One of
Speaker 1: the view I don't know if this is someone's garden
Speaker 1: or your garden, Lee, of their sunset yesterday, and then
Speaker 1: of the I don't even call it moon but rise,
Speaker 1: but the moon this morning, which has a beautiful red glow.
Speaker 1: Wherever you are today anyway, Jack and Rio. I challenged
Speaker 1: on John and Jimmy Barnes, and they go online and
Speaker 1: come back with some moon facts. Because when you think
Speaker 1: about it, and we never do you do when you
Speaker 1: were a kid, right, I used to get my binoculars. Right,
Speaker 1: They used to go bird watching with We'll come back
Speaker 1: to another time. I would moon mode and try and
Speaker 1: convince myself that I could see people. They're waving at
Speaker 1: me a lonely child.
Speaker 2: Is it interesting that they'd never go to the moon anymore?
Speaker 2: So they have this do.
Speaker 1: You think they saw something up there? And like, get
Speaker 1: back in that module.
Speaker 2: Don't say, let's just anything, just this.
Speaker 1: Never talk of this again form packed.
Speaker 2: Because after Neil and Buzz went there in nineteen sixty nine,
Speaker 2: they would wake up sheep.
Speaker 1: I mean there's going to be someone they always whenever
Speaker 1: you say this, there's always some smart ghosts. Or did
Speaker 1: they wake up sheep? Pete Evans had joined.
Speaker 2: Us, Well, let's assume they did. Then they went a
Speaker 2: bunch more times, I think until the early seventies, and then.
Speaker 1: Then just stopped, stopped the race to the Moon. It
Speaker 1: was all about that. They spend billions on it and
Speaker 1: then never since Now, what is about Mars. Why do
Speaker 1: they want to go there? A lot Muskie and Basil
Speaker 1: still the billionaires. That's not the VIP club, is it?
Speaker 1: The rest of us is going to end up slapping
Speaker 1: around on the Moon pointing here sunny all year round.
Speaker 1: It's like a giant cruise ship in this solar system
Speaker 1: that's gonna be freezing on the Moon. What have you
Speaker 1: found out about the Moon?
Speaker 2: Then let's do a fact off a moon off the
Speaker 2: footprints left on the Moon by astronauts. If we believe
Speaker 2: that they were actually wake up moonham will virtually remain
Speaker 2: unchanged for millions of years because there is no erosion
Speaker 2: from atmosphere.
Speaker 1: Are we going to live up there? Because we're going
Speaker 1: to ruin it? If we'll keep wondering around, it's going
Speaker 1: to look so going to rake that over?
Speaker 2: True. If you can't find someone and somebody.
Speaker 1: That, it's going to drop people crazy out there to
Speaker 1: be awful.
Speaker 2: Where's Christian? I just follow.
Speaker 3: There is a man, Dennis Hope in California who technically
Speaker 3: owns the moon. The United Nations in nineteen sixty seven
Speaker 3: made a treaty called the Outer Space Treaty that said
Speaker 3: no country could ever own the Moon. But he found
Speaker 3: a loophole and said, well, no country could ever own
Speaker 3: the moon and put in official paperwork as an individual
Speaker 3: to own the moon.
Speaker 2: Who do you put the paperwork into the United Nations?
Speaker 2: I think and they rubber stamped it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't got that far into the fact.
Speaker 1: Frank was a lot better.
Speaker 2: That's lease.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is actually really loose. Sorry, that doesn't even
Speaker 1: feel It doesn't even feel true either.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they don't go to the Moon anymore,
Speaker 2: because it's like, well.
Speaker 1: He can't go in his backyard.
Speaker 3: You know what I don't understand about They say that
Speaker 3: the moon controls the tides, right.
Speaker 1: He produces and controls the tide.
Speaker 2: It's bullshit.
Speaker 1: But I don't understand now you sound like a I.
Speaker 2: Don't understand that either.
Speaker 1: You ever read about women's menstrual cycles. They're all controlled
Speaker 1: by the moon.
Speaker 2: But how does the Moon's gravity affect something is huge as.
Speaker 1: The not just the Moon's gravity, Earth also affects the
Speaker 1: moon's Well, it's the Moon is moving further away from
Speaker 1: us every single year by about an inch and a half.
Speaker 1: How does that? John Weddy can guys, because so you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to squint up there, and.
Speaker 2: So we won't have tides anymore because the moon will
Speaker 2: be too far.
Speaker 1: And presume to deal with its magnetic qualities. Say what
Speaker 1: you will. I won't if you crack the moon open,
Speaker 1: and please don't right if you crack the moon open,
Speaker 1: I think there's a giant magnet in it. And it's
Speaker 1: like what they want.
Speaker 2: What they wanted to believe is that the Moon's gravity
Speaker 2: is strong enough to pull the entire ocean closer and
Speaker 2: further away than easy.
Speaker 1: Moon, Please take it easy, Come on, anyone, Obviously there
Speaker 1: are people listening who are smarter than us. How does
Speaker 1: the moon produce and control the tides? Don't look it up?
Speaker 1: Does anyone actually know? The answers Patsy Do you know?
Speaker 1: No idea? It is on the radio.
Speaker 2: It's magnetic.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's embarrassing how little we actually know. There must
Speaker 1: people were smart than us out there who can tell
Speaker 1: us about the power of the moon. How does it
Speaker 1: control that and produce the tide? Nine one O four three?
Speaker 2: If you crack it open, is there?
Speaker 1: Please crack it at home? Please respect the moon. The
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show podcast Christian an you guys talk about
Speaker 1: the moon apparently is responsible for our mood and sleep
Speaker 1: patterns as well. Moon's got a lot Yeah, not going on.
Speaker 2: I never sleep when there's a full moon. All the
Speaker 2: women in my family are the same.
Speaker 1: I can't just can't sleep.
Speaker 2: So even overnight could that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why, just don't sleep? That would
Speaker 1: because it has such a gravitational pull on the oceans
Speaker 1: of the world. We are eighty percent water. So it
Speaker 1: understands that the Moon's flows and ebbs and waxing and
Speaker 1: waning and ebudence are going to have a problem with
Speaker 1: us or are we going to have a problem with
Speaker 1: the moon? Moon? Have we got a problem? Hey Moon?
Speaker 1: I just Google. By the way, this is a level
Speaker 1: of intelligence on this show today, right, How moon effect heights.
Speaker 3: With Google?
Speaker 2: You don't actually have to make a full sentence.
Speaker 1: Google must just going Apparently this guy has got radio show,
Speaker 1: one of the kind of more skilled ones they elected
Speaker 1: it to be on the radio. How Moon Effect tides?
Speaker 1: Telly White's one Effect English. But before I go to Google,
Speaker 1: I want to know what you guys think. Let's go
Speaker 1: do ros here. Good morning, Ross, Good morning Christian and Tim.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 1: I mentioned what you think? Then? Ros So the moon.
Speaker 1: We all know that it's responsible and producers the tide,
Speaker 1: But how do you think that is.
Speaker 5: I'm not too sure, but I'm I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 5: got something to do with magnetic pool. Look Christian for
Speaker 5: any information on the Moon. I used to work at
Speaker 5: Science Works Planetarium, and the resident astronomers put together a
Speaker 5: monthly newsletter called sky Notes, and it'll tell you everything
Speaker 5: that's going to happen in the sky for that month.
Speaker 5: They also tied in with a little bit of history,
Speaker 5: like the first man who walked on the Moon, the anniversaries,
Speaker 5: well that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. What do you do a sign Science
Speaker 1: Works for Ross?
Speaker 5: I used to being customer service. I've since retired. I've
Speaker 5: had two heart surgeries in the last I changed yea.
Speaker 1: Rough with the customers there. They're aready damaging your heart
Speaker 1: there on that Moonn't go to customer just right out
Speaker 1: about this, moan bullshit gay.
Speaker 2: Commonly held belief at Science Works is they definitely walked
Speaker 2: on the moon.
Speaker 1: Hey, so commonly hell belief is fat for it.
Speaker 2: So many times I'm saying they did.
Speaker 1: It sells selections that people that don't believe that o
Speaker 1: this thick just because you think it doesn't mean you're smart.
Speaker 1: One means you're thick. Did you have used to have
Speaker 1: any flat earths? That pantsy sort of people turning up
Speaker 1: there going? I understand how my lights I don't believe.
Speaker 5: All the time? Yea to your showers.
Speaker 1: Whatever you would set them off? I'm sorry, sorry, good?
Speaker 1: So what do you do now, Ross? Now you're retired,
Speaker 1: what do you like to do? Because you don't sound
Speaker 1: that old, you sound quite young.
Speaker 5: No, I'm off to England, Scotland, Ireland and Wiles at
Speaker 5: the end of next month.
Speaker 1: Lady, I'll be careful in Scotland. That'll set your heart off.
Speaker 1: They do not eat healthy up there. A lot of
Speaker 1: fried stuff, no vegetables, and not a lot of sunshine
Speaker 1: up there. Oh, doctor science what he's called Dr spock
Speaker 1: on skynse have a field day with those people up there.
Speaker 1: Get out in the sun, Scotland, piece of fruit.
Speaker 5: I'm enjoying life a lot more now and doing the
Speaker 5: things I've wanted to do.
Speaker 1: So do you know what, Ros, if you ever get bored,
Speaker 1: You've got a lovely way on that the way you
Speaker 1: talk to me. But you could be great for customer
Speaker 1: services here we get a few and a few we
Speaker 1: could do with someone that we could go hang on,
Speaker 1: just be transferred to Ross. Enjoy talking to you. Enjoy
Speaker 1: your European adventure as well.
Speaker 5: Oh well, thanks so much and.
Speaker 1: T thank you. We don't know anymore, though, do we? No? No,
Speaker 1: no no, just got me subscribe to a newsletter. Find
Speaker 1: out weeks time when he writes his latest missive sky notes, Catherine,
Speaker 1: good morning, how are you all? Can you see an
Speaker 1: your telescope?
Speaker 4: There's not much to see. One's brook a bit two
Speaker 4: covered up by sunlight. Now, unfortunately, what can you tell
Speaker 4: us about the power of the moon.
Speaker 1: So you're an amateur astronomer.
Speaker 4: I am an amateur astronomer and I teach young children
Speaker 4: about the universe and the solar system.
Speaker 1: Great, so you actually do have a telescope?
Speaker 4: I say, yes, I've got a six inch job.
Speaker 1: Sorry, we should do that phone one day anyway, say
Speaker 1: we can be rude as well, man. Anyway you've got
Speaker 1: you've got a six inch lens? Is it?
Speaker 4: I've got to sink you stop.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. The wonders what they could do there
Speaker 1: if you want to anyway? Anyway, So through the telescope,
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about the power of the moon.
Speaker 1: What would if we were kids, why.
Speaker 4: Would you say how the oceans were heard gravity?
Speaker 1: Gravity?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so as they can mute and identified. It's okay.
Speaker 4: So everything is attracted by gravity. Gravity is the weakest
Speaker 4: force in the universe, but it attracts smaller things to it,
Speaker 4: which is why the Moon gravitates around, the Earth devitates
Speaker 4: around the Sun, and all the planets gravitate around the
Speaker 4: Sun as well.
Speaker 5: Us.
Speaker 4: Gravity also attracts things like water. So when the Moon
Speaker 4: and the Sun are lined up, the Earth tides are
Speaker 4: very very high because they attracted It's like gravity, gravitational force.
Speaker 4: And when the Moon and the Sun are on opposite
Speaker 4: side of sear, we have lower tides because the gravitational
Speaker 4: forces be needing that Dick, and even Jupids will affect
Speaker 4: us a little bit because it's huge and it has
Speaker 4: quite a gravitational pull as well.
Speaker 2: Now jupid it's involved.
Speaker 4: Goes the asteroids.
Speaker 1: Hidious, Oh wow, so it's like a it's like a
Speaker 1: guard planet. It is. It is, by the way, he's
Speaker 1: calling from inside a giant Avery, keep what are those birds?
Speaker 1: It's the bird Lady of Melbourne. It's got six one, gotcha?
Speaker 1: All right, Kathy, thank you very much. You cool.
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
