Calarogus Shark Media. Good evening. This is sleep from space.
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.359
A powerful burst from the Sun is reaching Earth, lighting
3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.559
up the skies with auroras. If you're anywhere in the
4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.359
northern half of the country, step outside tonight and look north.
5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.920
The northern lights could put on a rare show. Look
6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.320
for Jupiter high in the sky after sunset. It's the
7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.039
brightest star like object you'll see. Later tonight, Mars rises
8
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.240
in the east, with its distinct red orange color, getting
9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.240
brighter each week as Earth approaches. NASA's Artemis two moon
10
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.240
rocket has arrived at the launch pad at Cape Canaveral.
11
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.679
Four astronauts will fly around the Moon as early as
12
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:54.240
February sixth, the first crude lunar mission in over fifty years.
13
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.679
Something to ponder. The Sun loses about four million tons
14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.399
of mass every set as it converts hydrogen to helium
15
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.879
through fusion. Half the Moon is lit tonight, and it'll
16
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.000
set around midnight. Enjoy the moonlit evening, then stay up
17
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.040
late for darker skies, and with that we'll say goodnight.
18
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.560
See you tomorrow.
