Calarogus Shark Media, Welcome to Sleep from space. The Sun
2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.919
has been active lately. We're seeing high magnetic complexity across
3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.600
several sunspot groups, with a heightened chance of auroras tonight
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.359
for those in northern latitudes. Asteroid flyby Alert twenty twenty

six e G One comparable to a city bus, passes
6
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.800
closer than the Moon about eighty two percent of the
7
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:35.119
lunar distance tomorrow. These close approaches happen weekly. Astronomers track
8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.200
thousands of them. Look east for Leo rising. One of
9
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:45.079
the zodiac's most recognizable shapes. The sickle of stars forms
10
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.560
the lion's head, with Regulus at the bottom marking his heart.
11
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.520
NASA's latest reboot of the Artemis Moon program comes with
12
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.960
familiar language, back to basics, muscle memory step by step,
13
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.280
and an explicit nod to the Mercury Gemini Apollo playbook.
14
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.359
The agency wants to fly more often, change hardware less,
15
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.799
and build up capability incrementally, just like the nineteen sixties.
16
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.640
The problem is that Artemis is trying to cause play
17
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.040
Apollo in a world with very different politics, partners and rivals,
18
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.920
and the gaps are showing a Falcon nine lifts off
19
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.840
tomorrow from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida. SpaceX is putting Starlink
20
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.239
Internet satellites into orbit. That's your space update, compiled by

AI from NASA and Spaceflight News. The sky will be
22
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.840
here when you wake. Sleep well,
