0:03 Calarogus Shark Media, Hello and welcome to sleep from space. Space is strange. There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all of Earth's speeches, roughly ten sextillion stars. Look for the half moon high in the sky this evening. After it sets around midnight, the sky turns nice and dark. NASA's approach to managing the development of crude lunar landers for Artemis has successfully controlled costs but not schedule, raising questions about NASA's desire to accelerate those efforts. The evening sky hosts two bright planets.
0:48 Venus shines near the horizon as twilight fades, and Mars glows steadily overhead until late evening. A strong geomagnetic storm is underway. Tonight, the Northern Lights could be visible across a wide stretch of the northern United States. In Canada, if you have clear skies, look north after nine. Even smartphone cameras can capture what the eye might miss. Russian Federal Space Agency ROSCOSMOS has a Soyu's two point one A on the pad at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan, set to fly tomorrow. The mission is called progress resupply mission to the International Space Station LEO. The lion rises in the east tonight. Look for the distinctive backward question mark pattern that's the lion's head and Maine Regulus. A blue, white star marks his heart. AI helped gather tonight's update from NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Rest easy knowing the universe keeps spinning. Good Night,
