Caalarogus Shark media, Hello and welcome to sleep from space.
2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.759
An asteroid called twenty twenty two to OC three is
3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.320
passing by in the next couple of days. It's about
4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.120
the size of a house, passing about one point three
5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.719
lunar distances away. No danger, just a cosmic neighbor dropping by.
6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.760
SpaceX has a Falcon nine on the pad at Vandenberg
7
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.039
Space Force Base, California, set to fly later today. The
8
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.960
booster will attempt to land back at Vandenburg's step outside
9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.640
and look south. Orion commands the sky. The constellation seven
10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.920
main stars form one of the most recognizable patterns in
11
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.399
the heavens. Binoculars reveal the sword hanging from his belt.
12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.520
NASA's Artemis two moon rocket has arrived at the launch
13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.759
pad at Cape Canaveral. Four astronauts will fly around the
14
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.679
Moon as early as February sixth, the first crude lunar
15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.640
mission in over fifty years. With the Sun and Moon aligned,
16
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.719
spring tides are in effect along coastlines. These are the
17
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.319
most dramatic tides of the lunar cycle. Quick solar update.
18
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.280
High magnetic complexity across active regions means a heightened chance
19
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.239
of northern lights. Best viewing after ten pm looking north.

when you wake. Sleep well,
