Calarogu Shark Media. Welcome to Sleep from Space. This is
2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.279
your daily space report. Close your eyes if you'd like,
3
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.960
and let's drift through today's space weather and sky events. First,
4
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.559
the space weather sunspot activity continues to increase as we
5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.800
move deeper into Solar cycle twenty five. Several active regions
6
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.759
on the Sun are showing high magnetic complexity, which raises
7
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.600
the chance of M class flares over the next twenty
8
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.479
four hours. Because of this, there is a heightened chance
9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.000
of auroras, especially across higher latitudes. Even a small geomagnetic
10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.200
disturbance could make the aurora oval expand, increasing visibility in
11
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.880
northern regions under dark skies. In Asteroid News twenty twenty five,
12
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.960
WB ten, about the size of a house, will pass
13
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.719
Earth today at a safe distance of three point nine
14
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.320
times the distance to the Moon. It poses no threat
15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.719
to Earth, but it's a reminder of the dynamic neighborhood
16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.400
we live in. And here's a look ahead at the sky.
17
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.719
The Geminid meteor shower peaks this month, often the year's
18
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.280
strongest display, with up to one hundred and twenty meteors
19
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.640
per hour possible under dark, clear skies. Right now, there
20
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.599
are twelve people living and working aboard the International Space Station,
21
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.280
including Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. The
22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.599
station continues its quiet orbit, circling Earth every ninety minutes
23
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.319
two hundred and fifty miles above us. That's all for
24
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.079
today's space report. Above you, the sky stays busy while
25
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.959
your world grows quiet. Sleep well, and we'll be back
26
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.799
again tomorrow
