DEAN: WELCOME TO STAR GAZERS.

00:24.824 --> 00:27.594 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
I'M DEAN REGAS, ASTRONOMER FROM THE CINCINNATI
OBSERVATORY.

00:27.694 --> 00:31.965 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
JAMES: AND I'M JAMES ALBURY, DIRECTOR OF THE
KIKA SILVA PLA PLANETARIUM IN GAINESVILLE,

00:32.065 --> 00:33.867 align:left position:40%,start line:89% size:50%
FLORIDA.

00:33.967 --> 00:37.337 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN WHERE, WE ENCOURAGE
STAR GAZERS EVERYWHERE TO CELEBRATE DAY-STAR

00:37.437 --> 00:38.338 align:left position:45%,start line:89% size:45%
DAY.

00:38.438 --> 00:40.106 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
DEAN: THAT'S RIGHT, JAMES.

00:40.206 --> 00:44.444 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
JUST GET UP BEFORE DAWN AND EXPERIENCE A GREAT
STAR RISE OVER OUR EARTH'S HORIZON.

00:44.544 --> 00:49.349 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
A STAR SO HUGE WE COULD FIT OVER ONE AND A
QUARTER MILLION EARTHS INSIDE IT.

00:49.449 --> 00:50.817 align:left position:87.5%,start line:89% size:2.5%
JAMES: WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

00:50.917 --> 00:52.719 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
LET'S SHOW YOU!

00:52.819 --> 00:56.990 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
DEAN: IT SOUNDS SIMPLE ENOUGH BUT FEW PEOPLE
EVER PAY CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE RISING

00:57.090 --> 01:01.361 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
OF THE ONLY STAR WE CAN SEE IN THE DAYTIME,
TO EVER REALLY EXPERIENCE IT.

01:01.461 --> 01:06.800 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
WE CALL THIS STAR, THE SUN, BUT ON STAR GAZERS,
WE OCCASSIONALLY REFER TO IT AS OUR DAY STAR.

01:06.900 --> 01:11.104 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
JAMES: THREE YEARS AGO, THE SUMMER SOLSTICE
OCCURRED ON THE WEEKEND, MAKING OUR DAY STAR

01:11.204 --> 01:13.373 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
DAY CELEBRATION EASY TO DO.

01:13.473 --> 01:15.809 align:left position:72.5%,start line:89% size:17.5%
HOWEVER THIS YEAR, IT OCCURS DURING THE WEEK.

01:15.909 --> 01:20.346 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
FOR THOSE OF US ON THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED
STATES, THE SUMMER SOLSTICE OCCURS AT PRECISELY

01:20.447 --> 01:25.118 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
12:24 AM EDT ON THE MORNING OF WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 21ST.

01:25.218 --> 01:29.823 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
DEAN: THEREFORE, IT MIGHT BE A CHALLENGE TO
FULLY PARTICIPATE IN OUR DAY STAR DAY SUNRISE

01:29.923 --> 01:33.626 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
EXPERIENCE ON THE ACTUAL DAY OF THE SUMMER
SOLSTICE.

01:33.726 --> 01:38.832 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
SO WE SUGGEST EXPERIENCING THE SUNRISE THE
WEEKEND BEFORE THE SUMMER SOLSTICE, ON SATURDAY

01:38.932 --> 01:41.367 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
JUNE 17TH OR SUNDAY, JUNE 18TH.

01:41.468 --> 01:46.272 align:left position:67.5%,start line:83% size:22.5%
JAMES: NOW I'LL BET THAT SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A SUNRISE AND THAT

01:46.372 --> 01:48.074 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
YOU'VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF THEM.

01:48.174 --> 01:52.645 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
BUT EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY THINK YOU'VE SEEN
THOUSANDS OF SUNRISES VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE

01:52.745 --> 01:57.250 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
EVER TAKEN THE TIME TO COMPLETELY EXPERIENCE
WHAT'S HAPPENING ALL AROUND THEM AS THE SUN

01:57.350 --> 01:59.052 align:left position:42.5%,start line:89% size:47.5%
RISES.

01:59.152 --> 02:02.622 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
DEAN: SUNRISE INVOLVES A COMPLEX SERIES OF
STEPS AS NIGHT SLOWLY TURNS INTO DAWN AND

02:02.722 --> 02:04.657 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
THEN FINALLY INTO DAY.

02:04.757 --> 02:09.229 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
IF YOU FOLLOW OUR SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU'LL
EXPERIENCE ONE OF THE GRANDEST EVENTS IN NATURE;

02:09.329 --> 02:10.730 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
WHICH MOST PEOPLE IGNORE.

02:10.830 --> 02:14.033 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
JAMES: TO PARTICIPATE, HERE IS ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO.

02:14.134 --> 02:16.469 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5%
SIMPLY GET UP
ON THE DAY YOU'VE CHOSEN, WHILE IT IS STILL

02:16.569 --> 02:20.039 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
DARK OUT, ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE TWILIGHT
BEGINS.

02:20.140 --> 02:23.810 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
WHETHER YOU LIVE IN THE HEART OF A CITY OR
OUT IN THE COUNTRY, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

02:23.910 --> 02:28.448 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE SUN ITSELF YOU'RE GOING
TO OBSERVE BUT THE EFFECTS OF SUNRISE ON EVERYTHING

02:28.548 --> 02:32.485 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
AROUND YOU, AS YOUR PART OF THE WORLD SLOWLY
TURNS FROM NIGHT INTO DAY.

02:32.585 --> 02:37.290 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
DEAN: IT'S BETTER TO BE OUTSIDE, BUT IF YOU
CAN'T GO OUTSIDE, JUST SIT BY AN OPEN WINDOW.

02:37.390 --> 02:43.129 align:left position:67.5%,start line:83% size:22.5%
NOW FOR THE RULES, WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL:
NO INTERNET, NO PHONES, NO DOING YOUR NORMAL

02:43.229 --> 02:44.497 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
WAKE-UP ROUTINE.

02:44.597 --> 02:46.466 align:left position:85%,start line:89% size:5%
ALL DISTRACTIONS MUST BE ELIMINATED.

02:46.566 --> 02:52.138 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
JAMES: SIMPLY SIT QUIETLY, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE
AND WHEN YOU SEE THE SKY SLOWLY START TO BRIGHTEN,

02:52.238 --> 02:55.441 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
LOOK, LISTEN AND FEEL WHAT HAPPENS ALL AROUND
YOU.

02:55.542 --> 02:57.677 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
A SUNRISE IS MORE THAN VISUAL.

02:57.777 --> 03:00.847 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
WATCH THE DELICATE INTERPLAY OF LIGHT, COLOR
AND SHADOW.

03:00.947 --> 03:05.785 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
DEAN: BUT ALSO LISTEN AND YOU'LL HEAR THE
SOUNDS OF OUR WORLD AND ITS CREATURES WAKING

03:05.885 --> 03:07.387 align:left position:45%,start line:89% size:45%
UP.

03:07.487 --> 03:10.356 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
YOU'LL FEEL THE WIND CHANGE, THE TEMPERATURE
CHANGE AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

03:10.456 --> 03:15.695 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
JAMES: IF YOU DO GET OUTSIDE BEFORE DAWN ON
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21ST, YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT.

03:15.795 --> 03:21.067 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
THE WANING CRESCENT MOON AND VENUS WILL BE
IN CONJUNCTION AND THEY'LL BE 7 DEGREES (OR

03:21.167 --> 03:23.903 align:left position:77.5%,start line:89% size:12.5%
14 MOON WIDTHS) APART, RISING IN THE EAST.

03:24.003 --> 03:27.941 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
DEAN: THE WANING CRESCENT MOON WILL ALSO BE
SHOWING SOME EARTHSHINE.

03:28.041 --> 03:32.512 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
EARTHSHINE HAPPENS WHEN SUNLIGHT REFLECTING
OFF THE EARTH GENTLY LIGHTS UP THE NIGHTTIME

03:32.612 --> 03:34.247 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
SIDE OF THE MOON.

03:34.347 --> 03:37.884 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
THIS ALLOWS YOU TO SEE THE MAN IN THE MOON
PATTERN IN THE DARK PORTION OF THE MOON.

03:37.984 --> 03:42.722 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
JAMES: SO AS YOU EXPERIENCE DAY STAR DAY,
KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE SUBTLE CHANGES YOU NOTICE

03:42.822 --> 03:46.793 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
AND RECORD YOUR OBSERVATIONS ON PAPER OR INTO
A VOICE RECORDER.

03:46.893 --> 03:50.330 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
THEN READ OR LISTEN TO YOUR OBSERVATIONS A
FEW DAYS LATER.

03:50.430 --> 03:54.400 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
BELIEVE ME, IF YOU'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE
YOU'LL BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT WHAT A STAR

03:54.500 --> 03:56.502 align:left position:80%,start line:89% size:10%
RISE OVER A SMALL PLANET CAN DO FOR YOU.

03:56.603 --> 04:00.473 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
DEAN: OF COURSE REMEMBER TO NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY
AT THE SUN AT ANY TIME.

04:00.573 --> 04:04.177 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
ONLY OBSERVE THE EFFECTS OF THE SUNRISE ON
THE WORLD AROUND YOU.

04:04.277 --> 04:08.581 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
YOU'LL GAIN A WHOLE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
OF YOUR PLACE ON THIS PLANET AND OUR PLANET'S

04:08.681 --> 04:09.716 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE.

04:09.816 --> 04:11.985 align:left position:72.5%,start line:89% size:17.5%
JAMES: HAPPY "DAY STAR DAY", MY FRIENDS, AND

04:12.085 --> 04:16.085 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
