Daniel and Heidi stand in the studio.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, jeans and a burgundy and white TVO Kids hooded sweatshirt.

Heidi is in her twenties, with above the shoulders slightly wavy brown hair and wears glasses, jeans and a gray sweater.

He says WELCOME BACK. IT IS TIME FOR
OUR
TVOK NEWS FEATURE,
AND IT'S TIME TO MEET HEIDI.
SO, GET THIS,
SHE IS AN ASTRONOMER.
SO, HOW COOL IS THAT?
HOW COOL IS TO
BEING AN ASTRONOMER
AND WHAT KIND OF
THINGS DO YOU GUYS DO?

Heidi says SO, BEING AN ASTRONOMER
IS VERY, VERY COOL.
ASTRONOMERS USE MATH AND SCIENCE
TO STUDY OUTER SPACE.
SOME ASTRONOMERS USE
TELESCOPES
TO DIRECTLY OBSERVE
OUTER SPACE,
OTHER ASTRONOMERS
USE COMPUTERS
TO SIMULATE
WHAT WE MIGHT FIND,
AND COMPARE THAT
TO WHAT WE SEE.

Daniel says THAT IS SUPER COOL.
NOW, I HEAR THERE'S A REALLY
AWESOME PHENOMENON HAPPENING
LATE NIGHT, ON JANUARY 20TH.
IT'S CALLED A
SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT?

Heidi says SO A SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON
IS BASICALLY A
VERY SPECIAL TYPE OF
LUNAR ECLIPSE.
SO, LET'S BREAK DOWN THE NAME OF
A SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON.

Daniel says LET'S DO IT.

Heidi says SO THE SUPER PART REFERS
TO THE FACT THAT
WHAT WE'LL BE SEEING
IS A SUPER MOON.
AND A SUPER MOON IS
BASICALLY WHEN THE MOON LOOKS
A LITTLE BIT BIGGER
AND A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER
ON THE NIGHT SKY,
AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S
THE CLOSEST TO EARTH
THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
ALONG ITS ORBIT.

Daniel says OKAY, NOW LET'S GET
TO THE BLOOD PART.
NOW, THAT SOUNDS A
LITTLE BIT SCARY.
IS IT?

Heidi says NOT REALLY.
SO, THE BLOOD PART
REFERS TO THE FACT THAT
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE IS
A TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE.
WHEN THE MOON PASSES THROUGH
THE EARTH'S SHADOW,
IT TURNS A COPPERY,
DEEP HUE.
HENCE THE NAME, BLOOD MOON.

Daniel says OKAY. SO NOT THAT SCARY.
NOW, I WANT TO KNOW,
WHY IS IT CALLED A WOLF MOON?

Heidi says SO, WE CALL IT A WOLF MOON
BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST
FULL MOON IN JANUARY.
AND SOME PEOPLE REFER
TO IT AS A WOLF MOON,
BECAUSE IN JANUARY, THE WOLVES
COME OUT AND HOWL.

Daniel says VERY SWEET.
I LOVE THE NAME.
NOW, ONE LAST QUESTION,
WILL WE ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE
THE SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON,
ESPECIALLY IN THE
CITY WHERE THERE'S
A LOT OF LIGHT POLLUTION?

Heidi says SO ONE REALLY GREAT THING
ABOUT LUNAR ECLIPSES
IS THAT YOU DON'T NEED ANY
SPECIAL GEAR TO VIEW THEM.
AND AS LONG AS THE WEATHER
COOPERATES, IT'S NOT TOO CLOUDY,
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE
TO SEE THIS EVENT,
EVEN WHEN YOU LIVE
CLOSE TO THE CITY.

Daniel says AH, AMAZING.
WELL, I AM SO EXCITED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
HEIDI, FOR COMING IN
AND BRINGING US
THIS AMAZING NEWS.
I KNOW I'LL BE WATCHING,
SO I HOPE YOU GUYS
CAN ALL WATCH IT,
LATE NIGHT ON JANUARY 20TH.
THAT'S IT FOR
TVOK NEWS,
SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
