Calarugashark Media welcome to Sleep from space. Even after three
2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.079
years of public appearances as a crew, there can still
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.760
be some surprises for the Artemis two astronauts. The four
4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.440
astronauts will spend more than nine days on board their
5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.800
Orion spacecraft and is poised to pass the distance record
6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.160
set by Apollo thirteen in nineteen seventy. Lift off from
7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.719
Launch Complex thirty nine B is scheduled for Wednesday, April Verse.

00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.159
Artemis two set to return humanity to the Moon with
9
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.039
launch on Wednesday evening. Just over a day from now,
10
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.679
four astronauts may well be on their way to the Moon.
11
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.000
Asteroid twenty twenty six fh seven, roughly the length of
12
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.600
a bus, will fly past Earth today about one point
13
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.039
nine lunar distances away. Completely safe, but a nice reminder
14
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.960
of our busy Solar system. A Space Launch System rocket
15
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000
is set to launch later today from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
16
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.879
NASA is behind this one. Space is strange. The footprints
17
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.920
left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts will remain visible
18
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.359
for millions of years. There's no wind to blow them away.
19
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.120
There is plenty of activity on the Sun right now.
20
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.280
Multiple sun spot regions are crackling with energy, and solar
21
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.560
flares could fire off at any time. Northern lights chances
22
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.920
remain moderate tonight for viewers in Canada and the northernmost States.
23
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.840
Venus continues its rain as the evening star, shining so
24
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.280
bright it casts faint shadows on dark nights. Mercury peaks
25
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.239
above the western horizon briefly after sunset. Step outside tonight
26
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.560
for the Pink Moon, named for the pink flocks flowers
27
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.040
that bloom in early spring across North America. Sleep from
