Calaruga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Space news and weather. Today,
2
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.640
the gas giants are returning. Saturn rises around eleven PM,
3
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.920
while Jupiter appears in the east a few hours before dawn.
4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:27.440
Both will dominate summer nights. The Moon is waxing gibbous,
5
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.280
more than half lit and growing toward full. It sets late,
6
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.399
giving only a brief window of dark skies. After sunset,

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.960
Scorpius crawls above the southern horizon, its curved tail unmistakable.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.200
The red super giant an Teres marks the scorpion's heart,
9
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.119
a star so large it would engulf Mars if placed
10
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.560
at our Sun's position. A Falcon nine rocket is set
11
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.320
to launch later today from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.
12
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.399
SpaceX is behind this one. The booster will attempt a
13
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:10.920
drone ship landing in the Atlantic. Aurora australis an asteroid

19
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.359
seen on the northwest side of the Sun, moving at

moderate speed. This episode was assembled using AI pulling from
