Calaroga Shark Media. Good evening. This is Sleep from Space.

00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.399
The red planet takes center stage this month. Step outside
3
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.920
after dinner and look east. Mars is unmistakable with its
4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:26.640
orange red hue. Jupiter lingers briefly in the west coastal areas.
5
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.440
See minimal tidal range this week. These neep tides occur
6
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.600
when the Sun and Moon work against each other. Space
7
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.079
is strange. Light from the Sun takes about eight minutes
8
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.399
to reach Earth. The light you see at sunset actually
9
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.920
left the Sun before it was at the horizon. Right now,
10
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.759
twelve humans are living in space aboard the iss Ol'
11
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:55.719
Leg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson among them.
12
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.520
The station passes overhead several times a day if you
13
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.600
know when to look. NASA is running final tests on
14
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.519
the Artemis two rocket, fueling it up to make sure
15
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:10.719
everything works before the crew climbs aboard. The last quarter.
16
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.000
Moon stays below the horizon until late so the early
17
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.000
evening is perfect for finding faint stars and nebulae. Sleep
