The ringed planet Saturn reaches peak visibility this month. Jupiter
3
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.879
follows behind, rising around midnight and offering spectacular views before sunrise.

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.399
The Moon is waxing gibbous, more than half lit and
5
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.280
growing toward full. It sets late, giving only a brief
6
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.880
window of dark skies After sunset. Three brilliant stars form
7
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.719
the summer triangle overhead Vega. The brightest is only twenty
8
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.159
five light years away. Deneb, though it looks similar, is
9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.759
actually two thousand to six hundred light years distant, vastly
10
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:57.359
more luminous. NASA's space weather trackers also note a burst
11
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:02.719
of solar material was seen leaving the sun. SpaceX has
12
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.920
a Falcon nine on the pad at Vandenberg Space Force
13
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.480
based California, set to fly tomorrow. The mission is called
14
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.040
Starlink Internet Satellites. The booster will attempt to land back
15
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:19.079
at Vandenburg quick solar update. The sun is quite active,
16
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.200
with numerous sunspot groups visible. That means a moderate chance
17
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.840
of northern lights tonight for those in northern latitudes. Look
18
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.319
north after dark if skies are clear. Asteroid twenty fifteen bf,
19
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.519
roughly the length of a bus, will fly past Earth
20
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.640
in about seven days, about seventeen lunar distances from Earth.
21
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:46.719
Completely safe, but a nice reminder of our busy Solar system.
