0:03 Calarogus Shark Media. Good evening. This is sleep from space. A powerful burst from the Sun is reaching Earth, lighting up the skies with auroras. If you're anywhere in the northern half of the country, step outside tonight and look north. The northern lights could put on a rare show. Look for Jupiter high in the sky after sunset. It's the brightest star like object you'll see. Later tonight, Mars rises in the east, with its distinct red orange color, getting brighter each week as Earth approaches. NASA's Artemis two moon rocket has arrived at the launch pad at Cape Canaveral.
0:45 Four astronauts will fly around the Moon as early as February sixth, the first crude lunar mission in over fifty years. Something to ponder. The Sun loses about four million tons of mass every set as it converts hydrogen to helium through fusion. Half the Moon is lit tonight, and it'll set around midnight. Enjoy the moonlit evening, then stay up late for darker skies, and with that we'll say goodnight. See you tomorrow.
